Bakersfield Penn Ave

"Great food and great drinks! We always come when Alissa is working so she’s our bartender. She gives awesome suggestions and comes up with creative cocktails if there’s nothing on the menu I like. 10/10 recommend!"

"Best spicy marg in the city!! I’ve been coming here for years so it was odd when I had to wait about 15 min past our reservation time. Not quite sure what the point of a reservation is if the restaurant isn’t ready for you when you arrive. Aside from that, everything was nice. Our server, Madison, was wonderful and super sweet and the hosts were nice, too. The food was good and the drinks were delicious! Highly recommend the short rib queso and shrimp tacos! It is super loud inside, so just be aware of the volume."

"Bakersfield helped in creating a special memory for us on our big day by hosting our wedding party for a lunchtime taco break between the ceremony and reception. Despite the busy weekend in Pittsburgh, they were able to provide us with a quiet, large space in their beautiful lower level. The tacos and drinks served were some of the best you'll find in Pittsburgh, contributing to a fantastic dining experience. The friendly service extended for special events added a personal touch to our wedding day. Bakersfield's ability to offer delicious food, a great atmosphere, and accommodating service made our wedding party lunch a highlight of the day. If you're looking for a venue with excellent food, a charming ambiance, and exceptional service for your special event, Bakersfield is the way to go. Our experience was memorable, and we highly recommend Bakersfield for any wedding-related celebration or gathering."

"Fabulous tacos, tremendous value, especially on taco Tuesday (all tacos are $3), nice simple menu, great atmosphere, and our server MIKE was terrific! We were quoted a 30 minute wait for a table and only waited 10 minutes. I had the pollo, shrimp, and fish tacos. The chips and guac/salsa appetizer was one of the best I've had. Looking forward to returning!"

"We had a party of 13 celebrating our daughters engagement. We made a reservation about a week beforehand, and the restaurant was so very helpful! We asked to just be in a corner somewhere as to not disturb anyone else’s dining experience, and they set us up in a private nook that was absolutely perfect! Great food, great drinks, wonderful celebration!"
