Cask Strength Bar and Kitchen

Service good if they are not packed ( After a bad experience at another wisky spot, I had to leave a review that was long over due!!!)Drinks- old fashions are always delicious. Food - been here over a dozen times and the food is always delicious. Always high quality ingredients with a reasonable price tag. Kudos to the owner and cook of this place. I hope more people can try your burbon burger! Delicious and full of that juicy good beef flavor! Good Ingredients = Good FoodI can't Express how much I appreciate an owner that cares about the quality of food, quality of service, and offered at a reasonable rate.

The food is killer and the happy hour specials are spectacular. They really hit the nail on the head with getting allocated bourbons and unobtainable booze in the hands of the common man, you just have to go to cask strength, it's that simple. They've got just about anything you can think of, and then some. And at great prices. Being able to enjoy cigars on the patio is also a plus. What a place!!

Well I have to give this place a pretty good three stars why you ask why I might give him three stars well it's a Saturday night coming from a hockey game we were hungry game is over around 9:45 10:00 Got there around 5:00 after 10:00 they don't close till 11:00 so we go in there and sit down they're not full You pretty empty waitress or bartender comes up to us after we sitting there for a while looking at the menu and says oh kitchen clothes at 10:00 we're like how the world in the kitchen close at 10:00 when you don't close to 11:00 so that was disheartening so that's why we got to give it a three maybe we'll go back during the day and check it out then I can give you guys pictures and a critique on the food other than that I got to give him a three because your kitchen shouldn't close at 10:00 when you don't close till 11:00 Plus if it closes at You should put it on your website that your kitchen closes at 10:00 but we'll give him another chance in a few weeks and I'll update the score

I'm new to Bakersfield and have been to this bar about 3 times now. All times have been pretty awesome. The place and atmosphere is diff from the rest of the town to say the least lol. The bartenders are actually friendly and helpful. The drinks were really good.. I've had an espresso martini, old fashioned, a whisky smash and all were deliciously made. It's a gem for sure!

Good food, great whiskey and good service. A special spot. I'll be back and bring friends!

Cask Strength bar is a haven for whiskey aficionados! Their extensive selection provides a wonderful opportunity to sample various whiskeys and discover new favorites. For the true enthusiasts, I highly recommend their monthly Whiskey club - an experience in itself! Beyond their impressive spirit collection, their dining options are top-notch. The truffle fries, in particular, are an absolute delight and a personal favorite of mine. A must-visit for a fine evening of gastronomy and whiskey exploration!

Pros: Quaint little spot with pretty cool atmosphere, exceptional service, and a massive selection of drinks to choose from. The Crop Lemon Drop was refreshing and my husband ordered the 58 Empty Bar Stools and then the Buffalo Trace Double Barrel Old Fashion. He said both were really good but the Double Barrel was his favorite between the two. The Bourbon Maple Bacon Burger IS A MUST (according to my husband) and the French fries are cooked to perfection. Location is just right for dinner before a concert at the Fox. Kudos to the young lady who had only been employed for one week that waited on us. Wish we could remember her name. She was great!Cons: They don't take reservations, but seating during a weeknight at about 6p wasn't a problem. Menu in Q Code app on table may not be up to date with paper menu. Make sure you check with your server if there's something you don't see on the menu but are wanting to order. Fried Raviolis are just ok, as were the Chicken Marinara Sliders. Smell of stagnant cigarette smoke seeps into the restaurant from somewhere nearby. As non-smokers, it was rather nasty catching whiffs of it every so often while we ate our meals. Otherwise a good experience overall. We will definitely go again another night to try other options.

Love it here! Great service and great drinks i got the lemon drop and my boyfriend had the Moscow mule! Such a great atmosphere the service is great

We came in for dinner on a Friday before a show nearby. We didn't end up having drinks because they don't have Scotch. My husband's sandwich was actually sliders, which is not what the menu said. My chicken-parm sliders were decent, but I wasn't impressed. The fries and ranch were both yummy.It's really loud in there. It's what I expect from a bar more than a restaurant, except for the children running around.

First time there and had the best experience. Ordered the bourbon bbq tri-tip and it came out within 6 minutes of ordering ! It was so tasty and it was a good amount to share with other people if wanted. Will be returning to try the truffle fries !
