VIP Lounge

"Good times had fun visiting with Courtney the bartender"

"I was passing through Bakersfield late one night and thought I would have a beer at one of the local spots. I chose this place, which was a bad idea. First of all, it looks closed when you arrive. No lights, no music, no sound. I parked and was surprised to open the door and see about 15 people all sitting at the bar enjoying their beverages. I walked up to the bar and before I could order my one beer, the bartender says "I already did last call, no more drinks" ... it was 1:09 am. This bar, like most California bars, stays open until 2:00am, which means last call is typically 1:30-1:45, depending on several factors. I could understand if he said shots or beers only, or I can serve you ONE drink, or even the word SORRY. Nope, just flat out rude. I turned around and went to another place and got a drink at 1:20 and even a second drink at 1:30. I tipped that bartender $20, just like I intended to do at the first place. If you're a first time customer, avoid VIP Lounge, especially after 1am"

"U gotta love things that don't change, and that's the vip, it feels like the forever late 70's bowling alley lounge, but nobody seems to appreciate it that way, the bathroom functioning and still sketch, so good, so perfect in its own groove they have curated"

"Service great! All bartenders very professional and friendly. Mixed crowd."

"VIP Longe/Bar, has been around for over forty years, maybe even longer. I’ve been here a time or two. Came here once for a bachelor party, had way too much to drink, thank God I had someone to drive me home. The bar is very clean and nice inside. They have darts, a ATM and a electronic jukebox. Come say hi to the nice bartender Karen, she will give you something cold to drink."
