The amazing atmosphere, consistency of helpful and vibrant staff, great entertainment (up and coming local live bands and an epic DJ) and a lively crowd are hard to find here in Bakersfield, but Rooster's checks all the boxes. Being a young adult, it's hard to find a safe and fun place to consistently go out to without getting bored of it or feeling uncomfortable. Roosters has made SUCH a difference in the town, and I have never felt so care free while going out to a bar. The security staff can read into people before they can start any trouble, and they stand on business when it comes to taking action on handling unwanted situations. Being surrounded by the security team makes the area feel very comfy and easy to worry less about any harmful people. I appreciate the owners, staff, and community who make Rooster's the perfect place for a heck of a good time for anyone and everyone. Bring your best boot scootin' attire or your favorite night out fit and have a blast!

They have the best micheladas in town, soooo good. If you have a sweet tooth like I do, I recommend the Mexican Candy shot, which has tabasco, chamoy (sometimes), watermelon picker, and vodka, and the rim is covered with salt and I think, Tajín. I love it! Went there on Feb 14, after work and they had Jell-O shots for $1! And had I DJ for the night, it was super fun! Also, no drama. There's a bodyguard right at the door and the bartenders are making sure everything's alright and if there's so kind of argument, those involved get kicked out, immediately.

Here's a polished Yelp review you can use:…read more Grenadier Cocktail Lounge is hands down one of my favorite bars in Bakersfield. Whether you're meeting up with friends or just looking for a place to unwind, this spot always delivers. The bartenders are friendly, the drinks are made right, and the atmosphere has a great mix of laid-back and fun. The music is always on point, and there's always a good crowd without feeling overwhelming. It's one of those places where you can relax, have a few drinks, and enjoy yourself every time you visit. The staff makes you feel welcome, and the service is consistently excellent. If you're looking for a great neighborhood bar with strong drinks, great people, and an awesome vibe, Grenadier Cocktail Lounge is definitely worth checking out. It's a place I always look forward to coming back to.

I call bs, never again. I'd also would like to say, I came here years back and it was cool but take your business elsewhere. I might as well have ordered a soda cause that's basically all I got.

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.

The bar tenders are super chill and like to chat with the customers if it's slow. The crowd here is also chill, which I like, personally. I've never been here late or seen anything too crazy go on like fights or general shenanigans, so we enjoy ourselves a lot. They have large, clean restrooms and plenty of seating. They even have a stage and a legit sound system that plays jukebox songs picked by patrons (paid, of course.)
