Brimstone Bar

This was hands down one of the best restaurant bars I have ever been to!!The vibe of the hotel is just amazing and I was blown away by the ambiance here. Not is this place totally hip but it's also nicely decorated. The service was top notch and the food didn't disappoint neither!I picked the Cheese & Charcuterie Board and it's the bomb! I'll be back!!

Brimstone Bar is the lobby bar in the iconic Padre Hotel located in downtown Bakersfield. This hotel is filled with juicy paranormal lore. Too afraid to stay overnight, but still want to experience the hotel- try out the bar. The bar is open day and night. We came for drinks only while waiting for a reservation at Luigis, but they also serve bar bites. They have high tops, tables and bar seats with a number of tvs over the bar. The bartender was lovely and you could tell that she loved crafting a good cocktail! I was initially thinking I'd order some wine, but I could tell she'd make something great so I went with something a little more fun. I ordered an aperol spritz, per her suggestion, because she made it with fresh oranges. She also made our group great old fashions and an espresso martini! The bar was quiet on a Saturday afternoon, but I've seen it a little more lively during the evening. It's a great spot to grab a drink or to spend some time if you're a hotel guest.

The server Tamara was absolutely wonderful. She was working alone and did such a fabulous job with our service, she even made recommendations for us to try. The food was delicious, fresh, and not greasy. The shrimp was not chewy and was cooked beautifully. All the food was well prepared and served as soon as it was ready. The only complaint we had was a groups of girls literally yelling and screaming laughing. It was so loud it hurt my ears. I know that has nothing to do with the place but I'm assuming this is a place to bring friends and drink. With that said the peach drink was one of the best drinks I have had in a long time. I recommend checking it out and give a shout out to Tamara .

The sliders I ordered were pretty good, wasn't too hungry so this was perfect! Can't say no to Wagyu beef. The bartender was sweet and attentive. The layout was very polished. Chill spot. Pricy but worthwhile!

What an unexpected lovely dinner we had there! It was our lobby bar at the hotel we stayed and a quick dinner choice . We had the wings, fries and herb roasted airline chicken. Everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Portions were great! Cocktails were perfect as well. Negronis were made to perfection! Service is wonderful as well! Would definitely go back!

Great service and server - made up for the menu transition where some main plates not available. He very graciously split a bill about 14 ways. Here for a conference.Poached pear salad was good, other dishes looked great. Located in historic hotel The Padre, spacious, windows, and great gathering option

I have stopped into the BB on several different occasions. I always find a great choice to make from their menu. If we are headed to the FOX for a concert, it is a great before and/or after place. Excellent drink choices and flavors. They are always well made. We always have excellent service. My last trip there was while I was on Jury Duty. The lunch breaks are often 1.5-2 hours long and BB is within walking distance. I had a great wedge salad and iced tea. The perfect lunch. BB makes you feel as if you are in a bar they would portray in a movie. It's very classic and always comfortable. The layout allows you to sit with just 1 other or groups. There is also bar seating. It was more quiet during lunch but it was also easy to be there by myself.

Did not eat inside the restaurant itself because we travel with our fur baby.Their outdoor patio, where we were we told was pet friendly, apppeared not to be open because the furniture and tables where stacked. As well as the heaters pushed into one corner.We did eat on the rooftop. (see our reviews for The Padre) .Nice outdoor seating with heaters.Food served there was prepared downstairs at the Brimstone.Both parties had burgers and fries.One with regular fries and othe with truffle upgrade. Would we do the truffle up grade again, probably not worth it.Burgers where great.

The food was very good. Those tomatoes were big and juicy. I wanna know where they came from. Onion rings were also good. If they were frozen I wanna know what brand it was. It was a nice quiet place. Bartender/ server was very attentive. I will be back. It has the 18 hundred beat.

We stopped by here on a whim while we were downtown. There was available parking.I ordered a Caesar Salad with chicken. It was good. The seasoning was good. But it was all room temperature, and there was little to no parmesan. The croutons were delicious!My husband got the Fish and Chips, and after tasting it, I was jealous! The fish was really, really good! The fries I'd definitely recommend. The coleslaw was just purple cabbage with mayo and sugar. Not good.The atmosphere is good. Service was good until the end when we had to wait 20 minutes to pay and leave.I'd go back for the Fish and Chips, as long as I wasn't in a hurry.
