A white man inside wearing shorts
Tippy N.

It was my birthday last night and we came here after we went bowling. I was excited but the 5'3 security guard sent all 5 of us away because my husband had of shorts! It's 90 degrees at 9pm on a Saturday. Cool, no problem. We'll go somewhere else. LOL just letting the owner know that the security at the door is messing with your money. Edit post initial review ***So after doing a little digging, I found out that my husband was most likely being racially profiled. He's a black man. He had on army cargo shorts and a black polo and a hat. I went on their IG and clearly found a white man in shorts an undershirt and a hat posted to their IG page!!! Wow. People are disgusting. Shame on this place!!!!

Had a wonderful date night with the hubby. Spoiled me as always! Had a few good drinks. Whiskey sour and the old fashioned was a must. Would definitely go back Our waitress was also very attentive!

Cheers!

Wow! What a wonderful and fun date night! Not knowing where to go and wanting to stay close to home we decided to give this place a go. From the outside you really can't tell what to expect! The inside is very modern and upscale, yet you don't have to be all fancy to go in! Let's talk about the drinks! They had some awesome selection of beverages. All of their drinks were simply amazing. Well thought out flavors, with a mix of earthy ingredients and fruit (no, not fruity drinks, but I'm sure you could ask for it if you really wanted it!) none of the drinks were overwhelming in flavors like most places around here. The selection of liquor is impressive. They have mezcal, tequila, sotol, several whisky and brandy brands, Beer, vodka and more! The service was beyond incredible, Christian took care of us all night. He haves us the history and 411 on a lot of the liquor we tasted. This is a family owned business and it shows it because of the outstanding way they run it. Honestly walked out feeling like a friend and so glad we found out new spot.

Amazing mole style tacos. So good with outdoor patio. Will be back! Great Happy Hour too

Very intimate lounge with strong drinks. Attentive bartender. The Pear was strong $13 tasted of cinnamon. Smores $13 super chocolatey and sweet and delicious. Great addition to the NW

Had the chance to stop by and check out the new location, customer service was great. I ordered steak fajitas, and a tinga taco, both were really good. This isn't your regular Mexican spot. Definitely more upscale with a more modern vibe. If they add a Dj, definitely a nice spot to hang out with friends to have drinks.

Whiskey sour and watermelon basil margarita! Both great!
Josie A.

This place is AMAZING! Beautifully decorated, comfortable seating, great music playing but not overly loud. Nice place to come wind down and have a drink without the rowdy bar/club atmosphere. And not just any drink. Hand crafted, delicious, exotic drinks made with love for the craft! And the price is great drinks are $12-14 on average, which is great for the quality and presentation they have. The bartenders were super friendly, recommended drinks and were very attentive. The place is on the smaller side but the layout is nice. There was no food besides ceviche but we were told they were currently working on expanding so I'm excited to see what else they bring! Great place, great vibe must check it out!

Smoke in the city! Delicious!
Sandra P.

I'm excited about this place! I love a beautiful, dark bar. In this case, a sexy lounge. Amazing ambiance. They have an amazing menu of serious cocktails. All of their mixers are made of fresh ingredient with homemade simple syrups. My companion and i tried a few different cocktails. I tried a mezcal watermelon margarita - to die delicious! We also tried the pineapple Moscow mule and smoke in the city! They were all delicious! The bartender is a serious mixologist. We were given top notch service. At this time they aren't serving food yet. But we ordered a pizza from New Vintage Grill and one of the staff members was soooooo kind to pick it up and bring it to us. This was their recommendation. Talk about servicio estilo Mexicano! Lo mejor! We were given various menus from their neighbors such as: Don Pericos, Thai, and New Vintage Grill. What a way to collaborate with your neighbors. This is a great place for date night or just w friends. Let me show you the pics i have!

They fit 4-6 comfortably - you could probably fit 8. There is one bartender (Jeffrey, if I remember correctly) he's amazing. He also takes your dinner orders. Id sit in the main restaurant if you have a larger party or kids. Like I said, the lounge is small. It's a great place to sit, if you want to sit at the bar counter. Patrons are friendly, staff are great, food is delicious. Ribeye, great. Good salmon. Great shrimp appetizer. Nice salads. Well made drinks. Not the biggest fan of the fried app platter. It's all pretty one dimensional and bland. Other than that, all food I've tasted has been good. Overall, a good place for a date. Actually took myself on a solo date and we enjoyed ourselves. Nice place to meet up with friends. 4 stars for the bland fried platter and in the summer, the AC wasn't the best- the lounge can get pretty warm.

Stylish without trying too hard, intimate without feeling cramped, and just the right amount of buzz in the air. Whether you're coming for a laid-back drink or a night that accidentally turns into a whole mood, this place delivers. The cocktails are the real headline act. Thoughtfully crafted, balanced, and creative without being pretentious. You can tell the The Bartenders Jeffrey and Mandy actually cares about what they're pouring, and they're happy to steer you toward something new if you're feeling adventurous. Every drink feels intentional, not rushed or slapped together. Service is warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. No ego, no attitude, just people who want you to have a great time and keep coming back. That energy matters, and it shows. Sliced Lounge has quickly become a go-to. Perfect for date nights, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself to a damn good cocktail in a space that feels elevated but welcoming. Bakersfield needed a place like this. Glad it exists.

At the last minute, I actually had to move my reservation by 30min, so I called the restaurant and they were very accommodating, which I appreciated. Being a Bakersfield native I definitely wanted to check this place out being that I had visited Chase Bank prior to the vault taking over. I was absolutely amazed by the decorating on the interior. They literally left no stone unturned. Every single corner of the restaurant is beautifully decorated. I do love the whole vault theme. It definitely just feels like you're stepping back in time. The food was fantastic. On a Friday and Saturday night, they offer a prime rib special. The plate itself ran about $52. But it was well worth it. The prime rib absolutely melted in your mouth. It was paired with a beautifully baked potato. It was also served with a side of horseradish sauce as well as Au'ju, We also tried out the brussels sprouts appetizer. They were absolutely amazing. Flavor was spot on. And I would definitely recommend it if you're just wanting to try something a little bit different. Our meal also came with a soup or salad. My wife opted for the Caesar salad, with house made croutons which she said was great tasting. I opted for the soup of the day, which was an Italian wedding soup. Again great tasting everything tasted fresh and was piping hot.

Even the manager came up and introduced herself and we had a nice chat. Smaller space than most bars but that is fine as for now, this place does not seem to get very busy. Even though happy hour runs late! The prices for drinks were more than affordable but nothing fancy. Your moscow mule for example will come just in a regular glass (darn thieves!) and not the slick, proper, copper mug that will keep your drink colder for longer. Again, think Denny's. Also tried a simple vodka drink and a margarita. They were fine. We went on a Fri night I think at 9pm when surprisingly, karaoke started. THIS was interesting. I was excited as it was listed as 80's night but as the night went on, 'anything goes' was the rule. It was fun but the same people went up over and over again trying to get their big break! They were having fun with it - we just decided to leave when the foul, crappy hip hop came on. The mood had shifted. There are booths, high tops and you can eat from the regular Denny's menu. We did not eat but what was recommended to us by staff were the burgers and skillets for next time. To sum up - this is a very casual spot to bring some friends and have drinks on the cheap with friendly service. And a diner menu if you are hungry that serves late into the night.

Kinda of a hidden quaint little place. Could be a good hideout - Just saying. They have a great…read moreselection of whiskeys that vary in all price ranges.

The meal is a appetizer, but it was the right amount of food for me. I asked for a side of pot beans, but they only had black beans and refried beans. I highly recommend this dish. Service-On a negative note, the waitress when given $40 and change was to be returned, she took the liberty of taking her tip without asking. This is not ok. She didn't come and refill ice tea glasses. Ambiance-Wowzer!!!! It was super noisy and loud,and I don't think there were more than 25 people in our space. I liked the background music but it was too loud and added to the already loud atmosphere. Last comment, the interior is way to dark. When you enter you have to pause a few for your eyes to adjust and when you leave the brightness of the sun (daylight) is also overwhelming. This second time at the Restuarante wasn't as nice as the first time. I guess it's become more popular.

The ambiance was awesome--big screen TVs everywhere, a spacious open layout, and a fun vibe that makes it perfect for any event or casual hangout. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive and I kept seeing the chefs checking on the food ensuring the guest were pleased. Right away I knew chefs take real pride in the way they make and plate the food. They've got a great variety on the menu, but I went with the fish tacos and sweet potato fries, both were tasty and full of flavor! I was so impressed by the way they plated the fish tacos not only were the fish tacos loaded with all the goodies, but on the side, they had included delicious rice with lots and butter and lime, as well as pickles purple onion. For drinks, we tried the bartender's special, a rum cocktail that was seriously a party in glass SO good! My mom had the classic Moscow Mule that was crisp and refreshing honestly, you can never go wrong with a Moscow Mule All around, a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be back soon!
