For the size of the place to the down right decent ticket prices, Pat and his crew do a bang up job time and time again. I've seen a lot of music in my life, and some of the best shows have been at World Records, I'm talking artists like Mindi Abair, Sugaray Rayford, Ana Popovich, and Selwyn Birchwood, just to name a few. This is top notch talent all the way! Great acoustics, small and comfy, it's just an excellent place to see music. The fact that the artists come out and sign autographs etc. at the end of the show is the kind of experience you can rarely find any more or any place else. Kudos to Pat for all the hard work and effort he has put into this place. No matter who is playing, it's really hard to not have a good time in such a great place! Thanks!!

Haven't had a bad experience at the Nile EVER!…read more I love coming to watch bands from my youth from up in the seated belcony. Once upon a time, you'd have caught me on the floor, but a las, my 37+ body says "I'm good" these days. Their drinks are mixed well, building still has nostalgic charm but is well maintained. Their entry process is very well organized too.

In Downtown Bakersfield you can find a unique music venue in the Historic Nile Theater. What used…read moreto be a local movie theater has become a hip local hangout to catch a show. The Fox Theater (around the corner) Foundation purchased the venue and offers (mostly) standing room only. There is enough room for dancing or hanging out by the bar. The bar offers a limited beer, wine, and mixed cocktails options. The lower, stage front section has lots of room for dancing. Free parking is on the street. 19th street is one-way traffic east bound. Nearby downtown there is plenty of dining options if you want to meet your group before the show, then walk over to The Nile. I've seen Steel Pulse and Strangelove Depeche Mode Experience at The Nile Theater. Both were 5 Star shows. My friend spilled his wine as soon as he got it and the bartender gave him a free replacement. Really kind.

Talented artist filled the stage. 12 member band left them little room to move but it looked like they had a blast performing. Ordering drinks and snacks is easy but come early if you want to eat. The sound and lighting is very good in this small venue and I especially like that they don't have it so loud your eardrums are going to rupture! Staff is very accommodating and knowledgeable. If you have an issue with anything just ask. Bartenders are quick and the drinks are good. Expect to pay premium prices. Don't forget to grab some popcorn before the show start. Oh yeah, the upstairs bar is Cash Only! You can purchase drinks with a card down stairs then take your receipt upstairs for a drink. Find a concert you'd like to see and give this place a try! I think you'll enjoy it!

It's been many years since I have been to the Fox. The last three times were for graduations. I was…read morereally looking forward to seeing Anjelah Johnson yesterday, It definitely didn't disappoint. She was absolutely hysterical. I laughed the whole time. Good for the soul! My friends have seen her four times now. The bathrooms are located upstairs, so that's a pain. The place was so packed. They have a very strict policy about cell phones. You can't video tape or take photos. You will be escorted out and receive no refund. The last couple minutes, they turn on the lights and you can take a video or photo. I look forward to returning to this venue. * The opener for Anjelah was Mal Hall. Not my cup of tea. He screams loudly, and I just didn't enjoy the humor. 6/21/25

The servers and service are both excellent, and very welcoming. The food is what you would expect from a place as cool as this. At Christmas time, they deck the whole place out, and it's very festive and charming. KC Steakhouse is another one of my top places to dine in Bakersfield when I've got some extra cash, and I have never had anything close to a bad experience. If you like plaid mini-skirts, good food and drinks, this is the place to go for a good time!
