Bootleggers Craft Pub & Eatery

So, this place is phenomenal. My husband and I recently moved to Bakersfield and decided that we wanted to explore the local eats. As soon as we sat down our waiter, Thomas, cheerfully greeted us and asked us where we were from. Finding out we had just moved here, he quickly told us all about the city and gave us a bunch of suggestions for food, drinks, and culture. His service was phenomenal, and really made us feel welcome in our new home. I highly recommend stopping by for a visit. On top of world-class service, the food was amazing and the drinks were a dangerous blend of tasty and powerful. Our visit here really set the mood for the whole night. We will definitely be back soon! Thank you, Thomas and all the other Bootleggers staff members. Y’all are a fine example of service.

Great happy hour prices on food. The service was impeccable, and they have a great selection of food. Everything we ate was amazing. I had the Bacon, Avacado Chicken Sandwich and my son built his own burger with Angus beed. DELICIOUS!

I tried one of their lunch specials: chicken sandwich. The batter was flavorful and crisp & chicken was juicy. I had a salad as my side with ranch. The veggies were cold and crisp & the ranch very good. Not all ranch dressings taste the same (IYKYK). I was able to sneak in a fry or two from my husband plate and also great. Fry was skinny, crips & well seasoned. I'm interested in going back to try some other things.

In town for business and found Bootleggers from online reviews. Christian was my bartender and couldn’t have been more friendly! It was a really great experience and the food was great. Try the fried asparagus and the Korean tacos for sure! The gold rush is a great cocktail as well! Thanks for the great service and food! I’ll be back on my next trip :)

First time here. Food was good, staff was friendly and attentive. Menu had some unique but tasty items. Tiny little issue with the mac n cheese sandwich, noodles were mushy. But i would definitely go again.. #edit. 4th time here, just as good, if not better than last time. 11 thumbs up
