They fit 4-6 comfortably - you could probably fit 8. There is one bartender (Jeffrey, if I remember correctly) he's amazing. He also takes your dinner orders. Id sit in the main restaurant if you have a larger party or kids. Like I said, the lounge is small. It's a great place to sit, if you want to sit at the bar counter. Patrons are friendly, staff are great, food is delicious. Ribeye, great. Good salmon. Great shrimp appetizer. Nice salads. Well made drinks. Not the biggest fan of the fried app platter. It's all pretty one dimensional and bland. Other than that, all food I've tasted has been good. Overall, a good place for a date. Actually took myself on a solo date and we enjoyed ourselves. Nice place to meet up with friends. 4 stars for the bland fried platter and in the summer, the AC wasn't the best- the lounge can get pretty warm.

Sliced Lounge is one of those rare spots that makes you feel cooler the second you walk in…read more The vibe is dialed all the way in. Stylish without trying too hard, intimate without feeling cramped, and just the right amount of buzz in the air. Whether you're coming for a laid-back drink or a night that accidentally turns into a whole mood, this place delivers. The cocktails are the real headline act. Thoughtfully crafted, balanced, and creative without being pretentious. You can tell the The Bartenders Jeffrey and Mandy actually cares about what they're pouring, and they're happy to steer you toward something new if you're feeling adventurous. Every drink feels intentional, not rushed or slapped together. Service is warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. No ego, no attitude, just people who want you to have a great time and keep coming back. That energy matters, and it shows. Sliced Lounge has quickly become a go-to. Perfect for date nights, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself to a damn good cocktail in a space that feels elevated but welcoming. Bakersfield needed a place like this. Glad it exists.

I'm not usually the type to leave reviews, but our Mother's Day breakfast experience here was…read morehonestly appalling. My family came expecting a nice meal and a pleasant holiday experience, but from the moment we arrived, things felt completely disorganized. We waited nearly 20 minutes just to be served water at our table, and the service overall made it seem like many of the staff had little experience or were unprepared for such a busy day. While I understand holidays can be hectic, the lack of organization was hard to ignore. The breakfast/lunch buffet was especially disappointing. Plates and utensils at the self-serve station were either unavailable or appeared poorly washed, which was concerning. There was also an omelet station with an open flame and setup suggesting it was operating, only for a server to casually tell us, "he didn't come in today." I understand every restaurant has off days, especially on holidays, but for the price we paid, the food and service were simply not worth it. Unfortunately, this experience has completely turned me away from returning, especially with so many other restaurants offering much better quality and service

It also had some type of seasoning on it that was absolutely amazing!!! My friends went with The Wrap and the Bagel Sandwich, both with fries. Everyone was satisfied and happy!

Harrington House is one of those Bakersfield spots that really deserves more love. I stopped in for…read morethe chicken sandwich and the paneer sandwich, and both were excellent in their own way. The chicken sandwich had a great crispy bite and was packed with flavor, while the paneer sandwich was fresh, satisfying, and just different enough to make it memorable. The veggies in both the sandwiches tasted crisp and fresh, and the bun was nicely toasted. The french fries were super crispy and very seasoned, exactly the ones you keep eating even when you're already full. What also stood out was the atmosphere and the people behind the place. Karen, the owner, is genuinely sweet and welcoming, and you can tell this business is built with care and pride. Supporting local spots like this matters, especially when good food and good service come together the way they do here. If you're thinking about going, today seems like a great time since they don't appear to be very busy. If you can't make it today, a weekday visit would probably be your best bet, since weekends seem to be the busiest. Either way, Harrington House is worth checking out if you want a solid meal from a local Bakersfield business.

We came at 6:30 for our reservations, which were made via txt but we weren't on the list. That wasn't an issue though we were seated. The waitress took like 20 minutes to bring water we finally placed our food order around 7:20. We finally got our food at 8:25 pm. My mash potatoes were cold and tasted like boxed mash potatoes little flavor, the salmon 0 flavor. Just tasted like salt and that's it, my fiancés steak was just ok also the veggies served were just carrots little flavor and were basically raw. Saying I'm disappointed is an understatement. We drove an hour out here for a good experience and we could have just gone to our local Applebees for what we got. And the total was $120 In my opinion not worth it.

Nobody plans to spend an evening in Bakersfield. You pass through it on the way to somewhere else…read more-- Mammoth, the Sequoias, the long flat grind up the 99 to Sacramento -- and if you stop at all, it's for gas or a bathroom or because your BMW's brakes have decided, somewhere around the Grapevine, that they'd rather not. Thank you, Weatherford BMW of Berkeley, for the near-death experience and, inadvertently, for one of the best nights out I've had in years. Stranded and waiting on repairs, we checked into The Padre, the only hotel in Bakersfield that feels like someone with a subscription to Dwell had a hand in it, and set out walking through a downtown that time has treated with more kindness than reputation suggests. There's a Woolworth's luncheonette still hanging on. There are old brick facades and wide sidewalks and the particular quiet of a Central Valley evening when the heat finally breaks. And then, on 18th Street, there is Tiki-Ko, and suddenly you are no longer in Bakersfield at all. You are, instead, inside someone's magnificent obsession. Tiki-Ko is a proper tiki bar -- not a tiki-themed cocktail lounge, not a place that bought some bamboo at a craft store and called it atmosphere, but a genuine, committed, floor-to-ceiling shrine to mid-century Polynesian fantasy. The carvings are real. The lighting is correct -- which is to say, barely there. The mugs are serious. There are pufferfish lamps and carved totems and the whole glorious taxonomy of tiki ephemera, accented here and there with a skate-culture edge that keeps it from feeling like a museum. It's reverent without being precious. The drinks are the real thing. Mai Tais built with actual orgeat. Zombies that earn the name. The bartenders make them with the kind of care and enthusiasm that tells you this isn't a gig -- it's a calling. They want you to be here. They want to talk about rum. They want you to try the Painkiller. In a city that most Angelenos regard as a punch line, somebody built a world-class cocktail bar and filled it with joy, and the regulars clearly know it. You will not plan a trip to Bakersfield. But if you find yourself there -- by mechanical failure, by accident, by the peculiar mercy of a bad brake job -- walk downtown. Find the tiki bar. Order a second round. Stay longer than you intended. Bakersfield has been underestimated, and Tiki-Ko is the proof.

There's the…read moremain bar at the corner and if you go outside and walk a bit down the sidewalk, there's 'The Sinking Ship' with a more heavy nautical and speakeasy vibe (where you enter and walk down some stairs and find a lush decor). I only had a drink upstairs at the original bar and I ordered my default go to when I visit new tiki bars and am unfamiliar with their menus and that was the painkiller. The service or person behind the bar was chill and super friendly. I came in on the earlier side of a Friday evening, so although people were trickling in, the place wasn't packed. Since I was only able to stay for a drink, I just wanted to walk down and check out 'The Sinking Ship' and was thoroughly impressed by the decor (well pretty much for both spaces). Definitely a place I'd love to grab drinks with friends or spend more time at.
