I found myself in Bakersfield visiting an old friend a while back, and she took me to the Silver Fox - I'm really glad she did! The music is good, drinks are affordable; the staff is helpful, friendly, and pours with the best of them :-) If you're the kind of person who's an extrovert you can play a game of pool with another patron or partake in a shuffleboard game. If you're more of the quiet type, you can enjoy some excellent people watching out on their outdoor patio. Highly recommended! read more

Went thereafter Saturday for my friend bday party. The var was classy nice benches and barstools. The KJ was great the crowd cheered every one on and danced. The prices are good as well. read more

The female bartender was not only rude, but just trash. She yelled at us in front of all of the bar because we didn't pull out our ID's quick enough for her. This was a regular place I'd visit. No mas. Not ever again. I won't spend a penny here again . read more

So after dinner at Mexicali, my Aunt wanted to stop in here and visit the bar tender...yeah it wasn't about drinking a lot more lol. Fun place, full bar as well as a great bartender. The crowd was friendly and the jukebox had some a wide variety of music. There was a dance floor so you could boogie if the alcohol reduced your inhibitions enough lol. And we did dance. Really had a good time and would happily return if I lived in town. read more

We absolutely LOVE this bar! We stop here every time on our way to and from Vegas. Great atmosphere, great drinks, and great people! Marisa the bartender is amazing! I would recommend this place all day long! read more

As soon as I walk in the lady is already agitated asking my girlfriend and I for our identification when I go to show her my ID (I'm a 25 year old that looks 32) she goes to say that my id is fake because of my photo and because it wouldn't read from there 1920s id reader. I've been here in the past but never ever will I come here again thank you for ruining a night!! read more

Came here a random Tuesday night with some friends. They have a Taco Tuesday special. Its around eight bucks or so for 3 tacos and a beer. Some might say this is a bit much for a special. That you could just as easy get a taco for much cheaper elsewhere. You would be correct, but hear me out. These tacos are bomb. Now, these arent authentic tacos or anything. You are not going to flashback to wild nights in Tijuhana with these. But, I took a bite off of my friend's plate and bought one for myself soon after. I'm not even going to describe the greatness to you. Support your local businesses and see for yourself! Other points to make.: -The decor here is so cool. Velvet wallpaper with fairies and such. I adore it. -Bring cash. They have a minimum charge for credit card. I believe its $15 bucks? - I can't tell you anything about their drink selection. I was the designated driver and gave it to my friend. I'll make a point to try their selection next time. -if you sit next to the entrance, you can reach the Poke stops and fight the gym. This is great for when you are waiting to recieve and devour your tacos. read more

The Silver Fox Starlite Lounge - Great bar good service. Come on Sundays it's super chill . Love it - Dive Bars Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Was hesitant tot go here because I don't really go out but I went and it did not disappoint!! I was staying at Best Western so it was a short walk and the bartenders were nice and friendly, especially Drew (Andrew), he made my bar experience the best I ever had. I went on a Tuesday and the crowd was super friendly and nice. Drew was accommodating when it came to the music and asked us what we like. Would definitely go there again and recommend to everyone. read more

Nice quiet bar games are on each tv looks very clean but it was very slow night , the bartender kinda seem limited on her drink knowledge or her willingness to make drinks at all but who knows right could of just been a long day but it's a ok place to go hide from the world, 2 stars cause no food and poor service read more

Maritzzaa is a badass, super friendly. The lounge is comfortable and welcoming. Always a good spot to just relax. Tonight I met Denise and I have to say this place has won me over! The customer service is unreal... never a bad tome at the silver fox! read more

Came on a Tuesday. It was super empty, but the bartenders were awesome. There was a girl (didn't catch her name ) she kept on asking us what kind of music we liked, played all the good jams . Mr. Brad (the other bartender) was awesome as well. Drinks were super good. Small private crowd. Are we in Bakersfield? Yes we are ! read more

Bartender super nice! Place is cozy. Crowd not rowdy. Rock and roll music playing all night when we went. Would go back.

Hey let me tell you something, this is THE bar to go to in Bakersfield to go to. The staff is Amazing and the hospitality is second to none. We came here after a show at the Mechanics Bank Theater and it is a perfect spot for an anytime time drink or a nightcap. The illustrious Fausto was our bartender, 10/10! Aloha read more

We used to enjoy coming here on Sundays and Mondays. We love Tiny, but that blondish curly-haired guy is an arrogant jerk. He thinks he is funny, but he's offensive. He always seems inebriated and when I was using the bathroom he was in there sniffing a popper bottle. We started to go Jerry's Pizza and that same dude Fausto just got fired from there. We won't be back at The Fox because of weeks of weird service. read more

Drew is the nicest, most personable bartender I've ever dealt with. Very comfortable to order a drink from and feel like he's just a bud making a great drink!! Definently coming back as much as possible as long as he is working, probably the nicest person I have ever met. read more

Only been a few times but The bartender Fausto and Tiny are my favorites and have so much fun when they bartend. I love the atmosphere and the people it's definitely a great crowd and love karaoke night if you're looking for a fun, chill night with great people, you found your spot. read more

Good bar. But the blond bartender with the glasses will pad your CC slip. Twice in a row I stopped in at 1030am after my graveyard shift. Had 2 budweisers while I waited for my too fat sandwiches. $9. I gave her a $1 tip. So $10. Was charged $19 on my statement. She will change your tip. Keep your receipt. Can only imagine what she does to folks that have been drinking. Just sad and shady. read more

Horrible! Ordered a simple Cadillac Margarita and it taste like ass. Dude making my drink looked lost, like he had no business behind the bar and the drink was show and proof. I blame management for allowing homeboy to be back there. Dive bars are my shit, so I love the concept. The thing is most dive bar have some decent bartenders...this place doesn't. If you have to come here get a beer or a drink with one or two ingredients. Hopefully the people who make your drink won't fuck that up. read more

They claim to have no live bands, But a very fine amplifier system When you're on your way To 6am coffee... Noticed a pooltable in the front room When the janitor Chased me away, said he was busy doin his 'Math homework'... ...might be in Vogue... read more

One of my favorite spots in town to grab a drink! Awesome staff, cheap strong (but tasty) drinks and last but not least BUBBAS STREET TACOS. Guys. I have been all over town for tacos and lemme just say these are my favorite. I hit silver fox for taco Tuesday way too often. If you're lookin for a new taco Tuesday spot or just a spot to grab drinks after a long day at work this is it. (Currently writing this with taco and beer in hand. ) read more

The Silver Fox Starlite Lounge - Bubba street tacos. Marinated carne asada with cilantro, onion and housemate creme fraiche and chipotle chimichurri sauce....mouth watering - Dive Bars Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The Service was trash. We order drinks middle of the day no food available. We waited 30 minutes and even made eye contact with the female white bartender for a subtle reminder that we have been waiting for our drinks. 40 minutes later still no drinks. We got up said thank you anyway and proceeded to leave. Feeling discouraged and discriminated against. I will never come back here nor recommend it to anyone. read more

I stopped in this place after work today and was pleasantly surprised. Great service and full of friendly people. Not to mention the bartenders were pretty easy on the eyes! I'll definitely be going back and I would definitely recommend checking it out! read more

I have been to this bar only a couple times but I can tell you this much...so long as Jessica is tending bar, I'll be a loyal customer. Silver Fox is dark and relaxing filled with great patrons from all walks of life. I've easily made conversation with the others there and Jessica will make sure you never go dry in drink or in quality attention. read more

Has really gone down hill. Decided to try it again after they replaced the cook. Tacos tasted bland and only tolerated it since I was already buzzed. It's a bar go for the drinks don't touch the food! read more

Packed to the gills on a recent Friday night, a buddy and I noted how chill, gross and fun this place was. A few observations. * The Silver Fox is ultra-dumpy and divey and has not changed in appearance since the 1950s. Trucker scene by day (my stepdad used to day drink here), wannabe emo-hipster by night. * The mid-sized city wannabe emo/hipster alternascene must converge here now, moving on from the Mint and Amestoy's a few years ago. * Since The Silver Fox is owner-operated cigarette smoking is allowed inside (CA state law loophole). * Terry, the 60-something owner, mixes some strong drinks and has cultivated quite the almost groupie-like following. * 2 Jim Beams and Coke = $6. Damn!!! * You will be carded at the bar if you're not a regular. And best of all... * Friday night karaoke meant Stevey had to sing "Superfreak" as the crowd roared in approval. read more

I like a classy dive and this is it. On a good strip too. Eat and drink all up on this street.

This is the best place to go for Taco Tuesday, hands down. I love tacos and I'm even willing to drive to LA or San Diego to ensure I get good tacos when I'm craving them because I usually don't have the best luck in town, so when a friend recommended I come here specifically for the tacos, I was a bit hesitant. But seriously, the tacos here are so worth it. It's close to my house, the atmosphere is very nice and the wait is never bad. I can't wait until my husband is back in California so I can force him to come with me and have some drinks and tacos. Drinks and food are all reasonably priced. read more

Came here for dinner on Taco Tuesday. I live approximately two hours away and was going to meet a friend. Unfortunately my buddy had to work late but I waited around until the kitchen was open. I'm very glad I did, the tacos were amazing. So much for a low carb diet because I ate six of those bad boys. If I didn't have another two and half hour drive back in rush hour, I would have had a few more. I will make that drive again for sure. read more

The best pronto beers,,,,,,he comes fast he delivers quickly.great service friendly demeanor
