    Made a quick stop here for some brews and all of them we're quite solid! Didn't get a chance to try the food but it smelled great around where we were sat. The bartender was quick and friendly, pretty much exactly what I needed on a stop to refuel.

    Elijah was our fantastic server today and he made our lunch experience Stellar! He really went above & beyond. We shared the Potato pearls with cilantro aoli. What yummy bites. Mashed potato balls deep fried to golden, creamy & crunchy with a kick. We all ordered the Pistachio Crusted Salmon. Chef's Kiss! On each table you have Pink salt & cracked pepper with cloth napkins. Aside from the delicious food and great service These are all touches that make this one of my favorite restaurants in Bakersfield.

    Centro Cali is in a great spot. We had an event downtown, during the week and knew this was where we wanted to eat. We all had something different that we wanted and the menu kept everyone happy. We ordered a pizza, burger, pasta and chicken sandwich. It all tasted amazing and everyone got exactly what they wanted. CCB has a knack for putting together just the right flavors. The triple b burger with a blueberry compote was just amazing. The service was a little slow getting to us. It wasn't a very busy night but it may have been too many people for the amount of staff. I'm not sure, but there was too much time between us being seated and getting our drinks and taking our order. The food definitely made up for it, but I hope there is a better rhythm developed for better service. There was a lot going on in the back room. I recently found out that CCB has an event space as well as a nice patio. That night there was a fun music bingo happening. I hope to check that out on another night.

    The restaurant is nice and spacious. Great for families. There's a patio area where you can also eat and the kids can play cornhole. The food was absolutely delicious. I came with my entire family so we ordered a lot. The price of the food wasn't that bad either. Not pictured is the pepperoni pizza we ordered because the kids demolished it. The service was good. Our servers were very nice and we were greeted when we walked in. Although, it would've been more helpful to be checked on more often. We waited quite a bit of time to try to get another table added to our party and to refill our waters as we waited for our food. It's also VERY cold in there. I would recommend bringing a sweater for yourself and your kiddos. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to friends and family.

    Happy hour from 4-6. Centro has drink and food specials that are not only delicious but budget-friendly. I had the croquettes and spicy potato pearls. Croquettes were crispy on the outside with a soft, pillowy center. The spicy potato pearls were a delight to eat. When you bite into it, a burst of flavor comes out. I paired these delicate bites with a Moscow mule. The bartender makes a great one here. Service, atmosphere, and food quality is a great addition to the downtown scene Indeed.

    Spicy chicken sandwich

    I was downtown and needed some lunch. Pub food sounded good, but I'm not really a drinker. That's when I thought of Central Cali brewing. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, and while that beer list looked amazing, I passed. The place is very comfortable. And the service is prompt and courteous. There are lots of TVs to follow just about any sports. My sandwich came on a bun with cabbage and cucumber. Chicken breast was tender and had just the right amount of spice. They also make these homemade French fries that are delicious. If you're downtown, hungry, and you especially like beer, you gotta give Centro Cali brewing a visit.

    Here on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't busy which was nice. Our party included 7 people and our waitress was on point with service. Here are the dishes we ordered; 1. Spicy Potato Pearls appetizer. This dish was really good and it consisted of 8 spicy potato pearls, perfect for sharing. I would describe as seasoned mashed potatoes, rolled into a ball shape and coated with a panko and deep fried and topped with finely grated Parmesan cheese. It's served with a side of cilantro aioli and a lemon wedge I would definitely order this again. 8/10 2. Breaded chicken over Garlic Fettuccine Alfredo. The pasta had a nice garlic flavor and a rich creamy white Alfredo sauce. Chicken was cooked to perfection and flavorful. One of my favorites 10/10 NOTE: all pastas are made in-house 3. Cali Lasagna : Wagyu beef bolognese, pomodoro sauce, Parmesan and basil oil. Lasagna was piping hot and very good. It had dollops of ricotta cheese on top. 9/10 4. Fried Lasagna: chef special. OMG!! This was my absolute favorite and hopefully becomes a regular menu option. Lasagna rolls that have been breaded and deep fried. 10/10 5. Minestrone soup: very flavorful and nice chunks of veggies. Served piping hot. 10/10 6. Four Cheeses & Figs Pizza: white sauce, mozzarella, provolone, goat cheese, blue cheese and fig compote and topped with arugula 10/10 7. Cali Pizza: San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella, Italian sausage, salami and topped with hot honey & sliced Fresno chiles 9/10 (pizza was a bit greasy) NOTE: all pizza doughs are made in-house. 8. Fish & Chips (chef special): battered in a squid ink batter and fried to perfection. Served with French fries & tartar sauce. 9. Prosciutto Arugula Pizza: San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, apple slices and topped with a balsamic reduction 8/10 (a bit on the salty side) 10. Creamy Pesto & Artichokes Pasta: pesto sauce, penne pasta, artichokes, asparagus, arugula and Parmesan 10/10 11. Tiramisu: 10/10 Cocktails: 1. Cucumber Margarita nice cucumber taste not overly sweet 10/10 2. Espresso Martini: it was good but not outstanding. The foam should have been frother. 7/10 Overall food was fantastic and our waitress was on-point with our orders. Parking is free, however, it can be challenging during peak hours. The ambiance is very laidback and a chill vibe. They also have an outdoor patio if you prefer to dine outdoors. Restrooms were very clean and fully stocked.

    This was my first time trying out Centro Cali Brewing and it started off well. The vibe was chill and relaxed with live music playing. The service was friendly and welcoming. The food was pretty good for the most part the wings sauce could be better. So the reason the 2 start review was due to biting into what appeared to be a piece of a black grill stone that was in a burger that we ordered. Luckily I avoided any damage to my tooth but that kind killed my first experience here. Hopefully this place takes better precautions before serving their customers.

    We went to Centro Cali Brewing and had so much fun. It was a Friday night 3/6/26 and the place was busy, but we were able to be seated pretty quick! The menu is awesome! We put in our drink orders and listened to the live DJ. This place is huge and very nice on the inside, I wasn't able to see the patio or the event space, but I've seen clips on Instagram and the place looks so cool also that the drinks and food is scratch made makes me want to try it all! The drinks were served and very good! We placed our food order and got the spicy potato balls, Cali burrata, Spinach Artichokes Pizza, and the Cali Pizza. OMG everything was soooo good! The spicy potato balls were surprisingly spicy to my husband but the sauce balanced it out and the combo was worth fighting the rest of the table over. The bathrooms were very nice and clean as well - it's a room with stalls and I didn't have to wait. The parking we got was street parking very near the front door - not sure if there was a lot or more available parking because it was dark when we got there, but we will be back FOR SURE to update! I need to try the creamy pesto and artichokes pasta.

    Updated review We came on a Friday night and had no wait around 5:30. Our server was great, super attentive and helpful and warm. We made it in time for happy hour and ordered beers and 1 pizza that was on the happy hour menu. We liked both pizzas - the arugula and the Cali. The Cali was a little undercooked in the center and the cheese with sausage and honey was an interesting combo. I liked it slightly less than the prosciutto arugula. We will be back during happy hour to get that good deal!

    This place is on my new favorite list! Visited on a Sunday afternoon and was not disappointed. The food, service and in house brews were amazing. The manager was friendly as his wait staff, were attentive and helped with providing recommendations.

    Amazing charcuterie

    Well 2 days in a row for Centro Cali!!!! Went to a Yelp Event last night that was absolutely awesome. The owner was talking about one of his favorite pizzas so we had to go give it a try. The Capicola Fennel Pizza is now one of my favorite all time pizzas. The crust is absolutely the best of Bakersfield. The flavors of the capicola and the likeness of the fennel worked perfectly together. The clam chowder was good. Cooked similar to a pot pie was good but a little cumbersome. It was loaded in clams but to me needed to be a little thicker. Don't get me wrong, great flavor just to watery for me. The wing lollipops were spot on. Maybe just a little more color on them. Great Job!!!

    First time here, it was surprising to see this little place just tucked into some unassuming side streets, but when you step inside it is much bigger than you imagine! I love the ambiance, it was clean and upscale. There's a back patio as well as a whole side room so there's plenty of seating. The food here is FRESH. And you can taste and smell that immediately. The crust on the pizza, the pasta (made in house), the salad, all just the perfect balance. I absolutely loved the Prosciutto Arugula pizza, and the Lemon Drop was perfect! My fiancé had a mocktail Moscow mule and said it was delicious! Shoutout to Mia, she is an awesome server! She's truly so down to earth and friendly! Thanks so much!

    We stopped in Temblor Brewing to check it out while running errands and we had been wanting to…read morecheck this place out for a while! We saw the line and stood in it while looking at the menu board and food menu too. We put in our orders and found our seat - there was live music on stage too - it was early in the day so we were surprised to be able to see it, a happy surprise for sure! I ordered an iced tea and its a self serve station - I loved the tea, it was brewed really well so anyone who wants a great tea come here! We wanted to get some food and both got salads - they were great salads, very fulfilling and all ingredients were treated well - I am picky with chicken and this chicken on my salad is like my favorite chicken now. There are lots of different beers so my husband was very happy to be able to try them. This place was awesome and we'll be back for sure, I loved the historical signs and facts on the wall near the entrance to the bathrooms too, it's nice to have ties to the history of the region.

    After arriving in Bakersfield, we were looking for places closeby to get some dinner. As we were…read morepulling up to the hotel, I thought I saw a sign that said brewery, so looked it up and - yep - there's a brewery right across the street. We walked over and had an enjoyable experience. I would first note, they only had 5 of the brewery's own beers on tap. I didn't mind, as I enjoyed a blood orange witbier. I had the sliders with veggie sticks and they were delicious. I was excited to see something besides just chips offered for sides. The seating space is ample and the night we were there, there was music. I was actually pleasantly surprised the music wasn't super loud and echo-y and we could still enjoy conversation. I would recommend stopping by for a beer and some food!
