    a bar with a lot of liquor
    Sandra P.

    We loved how cold the beer was! Icy cold beer! Good happy hour specials and friendly staff. Ambiance is ok. Best part is the AC IS ON BLAST! I'll add the happy hour menu here.

    Came in for wings sat down at a tall booth. Ordered a large set of wings. Was able to get multiple flavors. As normal with wings it does take a while to get them, but the service was friendly and the drinks were good. Ordered a fishbowl. It's very loud there's a lot of music and cheering, it's more like a sports bar and a pub kind of mixed in one. There is a punching machine. There was a football game on while we were there so it was a little extra rowdy. The server was extremely friendly and the bartender was quick.

    Cajun(lacks flavor) and habanero(typical vinegary, tabasco-type flavor. Was okay. Not spicy enough)

    Temperature of beer: five stars. Just wing it has the coldest beer, so I love that. Cleanliness: one star. The table and menu was super sticky - both had grease and sauces on it. The servers seems too busy so I wiped down the table with wet paper towel I got from the restroom. I'm sure they would have wiped it down if I asked, but didn't want to bother. Friendly service and okay food. Still not bad to come back when craving icy cold beer if you can get over the sticky surfaces.

    Daliyah !!! Wife and I came in for drinks and wings. Panama lane, we'll be back for the food and her service

    Daliyah, service was great on Panama lane! We came in for wings. Got great service. Never had to ask to refill our drinks. That's a ++++

    Just Wing It is our go-to spot, my buddy and I frequent it often. They offer a full bar and kitchen service, though the alcohol prices are average for a bar, not particularly cheap. Thankfully, they have a happy hour that brings down drink prices a bit. While enjoying our drinks, I love indulging in their delicious Asada fries or cheesy fries. This location has both a dining area and a back patio, and it's also family-friendly. The service and facilities are quite good. I highly recommend this place!

    Called the Panama store at 1:30pm on a Friday. Young lady answers and I ask her about a promotion they have on Facebook. By 1 get 1 Free. Sandwiches, wings, a free app are your choices. She doesn't know and asks to put me on Hold "for a minute" to ask another employee. At the 15 minute mark of my phone call, they hang up. I call back 2 minutes later. Same one answers? Idk. I ask about the promotion. Same answer. Hold while I ask. Comes back saying the promotion is premature and not ready, but they'll validate it. Good. I want 20 wings and 20 free, as the promo states. Nope. Only 10+10. Well I need 40. "Yeah the manager says it's just 20 wings total" I respond with.. This has been a 25 minute conversation (total both calls) to order chicken wings! lol She is silent for 30 seconds. I say "ok well I need 40 wings and it seems you don't have your promotions in order so I guess I won't be ordering" "Ok thanks again" click. I can see why they have such poor reviews. I was willing to give them a shot, but not now.

    This is more of a bar, so half the people are drunk and annoying. Nothing like the valley plaza location where it's an actual restaurant. This location sucks! Also it's not for people of color. Now Let's talk about the reason we're all here.. wings! The food was terrible! Greasy, no taste and over cooked! Very subpar compared to other locations. I don't know if they don't give a shit about their DoorDash orders/customer or they just slack on online orders and cater to people actually dinning in, cause again.. that totally sucks. I went in and with the nasty food and was denied a refund and was told to go to door dash. That's not how things work, they are supposed to refund me because they already got paid for the the food and we did not eat it. A $40 order with only the kids meal eaten. So guys about $33 they owe Me. I want my refund, the food was absolutely terrible!

The ambiance was awesome--big screen TVs everywhere, a spacious open layout, and a fun vibe that makes it perfect for any event or casual hangout. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive and I kept seeing the chefs checking on the food ensuring the guest were pleased. Right away I knew chefs take real pride in the way they make and plate the food. They've got a great variety on the menu, but I went with the fish tacos and sweet potato fries, both were tasty and full of flavor! I was so impressed by the way they plated the fish tacos not only were the fish tacos loaded with all the goodies, but on the side, they had included delicious rice with lots and butter and lime, as well as pickles purple onion. For drinks, we tried the bartender's special, a rum cocktail that was seriously a party in glass SO good! My mom had the classic Moscow Mule that was crisp and refreshing honestly, you can never go wrong with a Moscow Mule All around, a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be back soon!

    Honestly, if i could give 4.5 stars thats what I would do here. It's just not quite 5. I have been…read morehere 2 times now and both were a very similar experience. The restaurant is very clean and decorated pretty well to the theme with lots of large tvs for watching the games no matter where you get seated. There is a decent patio as well. Both of my visits were weekdays so business was pretty slow on the restaurant side but the bar had people. Its a full bar. Service is pretty on top of things and I have felt positive about that both visits with different workers serving us. One thing that initially surprised us was the menu is mostly Mexican food. It wasn't a bad thing, in fact, the Mexican dishes are the best ones on the menu! It was just not really what we expected from the decor and descriptions the first visit. We really enjoyed everything both visits. Great rice and beans consistently. The seasoning is good. Not a big fan of the chips though. If you want a decent bite to eat or a drink while watching the game, this is a really great option!

    We came here blindly on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant is new and decorated nicely. When we…read morearrived it was quiet and there were a few others dining but when we left there was a large group from a pickleball tournament arriving and the volume had increased quite a bit.

    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.

    Haven't been in here for probably 15 years. It's changed- a bit. I love Tiki bars and I go to every…read moreTiki bar I can find. It's tiny- like a lot of tiki spots. Decor is nice. Little hidden gems. Lighting is dark with bits color and neon popping through. The Bar Top curves around the bar- there are two booths that seat 5-6 and two short tables next to them- one seats 4- the other will comfortably seat two. There are a few bench style seating areas at the front with some short coffee tables. Think- skater tiki bar. The drinks were good- small menu if you're not sure what you want or are new to tiki. Both sides of the menu are the same menu. There are some nice mocktail options as well- you don't see that often. The service for me is mixed- it wasn't busy- steady but not busy- 1/4 full. I ordered two drinks to start for our table- (no cocktail servers here/not unusual for a small Tiki bar) I asked for a soda water- the bartender looked at me without a word- popped open a can of soda water and walked away. When he walked back by, I asked for a glass of ice- he said nothing and I got an eye-roll huff. I almost left. I don't think providing a glass with ice to pour your canned room temp soda water in, is too wacky an idea to be perturbed by the request. The female who took the order was friendly, smiled and was professional. We got a third cocktail- the Mai Tai. The grumpy bartender was friendlier this time. So, that helped. Maybe he felt overwhelmed and I threw off his groove by asking for water- then a glass... either way- being annoyed wasn't cool. The music.... Wasn't Tiki- it threw off the "Tiki Vibe" and made it feel typical small local bar that serves only Tiki drinks with some Tiki decor. It didn't take you to the land of Tiki- disappointed. Drinks were good.
