First time here, only came after 9pm beacuse I was hungry and alone lol. I had no idea this place turns into a night club or is a night club after certain hrs. This establishment didn't offer table service, all qr code and get up and get it yourself if your thirsty. That was a real turn off, especially when I got up to get drink #2 my food was gone when I was returning to my table. This place would've got 5 stars but the whole get up and get it yourself was a huge deal breaker. I ordered off the menu that was offered but I had seen online they do offer different food, so maybe after certain hrs they shut kitchen to just finger food. I got the bbq bacon burger with garlic fries and a side of onion straws. Burger 10/10 perfectly cooked, well seasoned and good size for the price. Garlic fries were ordered with NO SALT and they got it right 10/10! Onion straws also ordered with NO SALT and they got it right 10/10! Ranch 10/10. I ordered a drink called Hazelnut Chi Chi 100% 10/10! The only issue I have with the drink is that the menu says $11 but my bill showed $12.50, that is $1.50 they did not mention prior to me ordering the drink. As I mentioned after receiving my second drink and turning atound to return to my table my FOOD WAS GONE! My bartender did take care of me though so shout-out to the young man wearing the tuxedo shirt. He got my order remade to go. Other than being super loud because of live dj it is a cool little spot to have some awesome food. I do recommend and I will go back. P.s. they have rewards so don't forget to sign up. read more

We came here the other night during a weekday and tried their DIY pasta special. The server recommend we try the pesto mixed with the alfredo, so we took his word and yup he wasn't messin around! That combination was fire. We ordered one with shrimp and penne, and the other with chicken and linguine. I also upgraded my adult beverage to a non-alcoholic drink, the raspberry no-jito to be specific ~ He offered to change up the fruit but I love raspberries so I ordered it as is. It actually contains zero proof spirits, so it does sort of taste like alcohol vs just some juice mixed with soda. It was actually refreshing so I'd be down to try the other flavors on the next visit. Service was super quick, friendly vibes all around, restroom was clean, and the restaurant noise levels were good enough for us to still have a convo. My only suggestion would be to grill those big ol shrimp at a higher temperature, the charred flavor would have really turned that pasta into an A plus. Other than that, we had a cool experience and we'll be back! read more

Been coming here for some years now, always enjoy the food (can you tell what I like). Steak frites & chicken parm are always my go to, their sausage bread & caesar salad are also some of my favorites, you really can't go wrong with anything. Would also recommend coming earlier to grab a booth & some food & drinks to hangout the rest of the night, it can get pretty busy some nights. Summer made me a bomb michi & I also love their palomas! read more

Sandrinis is always a hit, food is good, drinks are consistent and there are a lot of options. The smoking room is incredible too! The bartenders are really friendly and great at what they do! read more

It was a pleasant surprise to see the changes made at Sandrini's. The last time I had been here was 12 years ago during my wild 20s when the thing to do was bar hop. We gathered here for a friends birthday dinner and we were immediately greeted by our Server Damian who went above and beyond to help us put a couple tables together for what we expected to be a large group. Though not everyone showed up, Damian was patient thru ought the night, checking in on us, getting our drink orders first and then our food. We each chose something different off the Menu. A variety of wings, cheese curds, garlic parm fries and chorizo sliders. Everything was so delicious! Perfect way to get these near 40yr. Olds started for a relived night out on the town! I will definitely be coming back to to try their other dishes and enjoy this place a bit more at a slower pace. read more

Came in for a late lunch. Bartender was prepping for tonight's bar/drinks etc. ordered a burger with fries !!! Food was Amazing !!! Me and the bartender talked and he gave me the good and bad or the down town area recommended a great Hotel as well The Padre. Will check out the bar tonight at Public house as well. Nice place !! read more

It's downstairs area which I think is really cool! It can get really loud if you're looking for that type of vibe. It wasn't too overwhelming if you're there a bit earlier. My waitress kept checking up on us, recommended drinks and cleaning up our table. The drinks are pretty strong The mashed potatoes were so good, had so much flavor. My chicken tikka was okay, it wasn't super spicy (just like she told me it wouldn't be) but it was a great version of it, I would've preferred more bread over rice. read more

Good drinks and vibes all around. Everyone I've met that works there are good people and offer really great customer service. The garlic fries and sliders are a go-to for me! Not to mention it's like the only place in Bako with an indoor smoking room. read more

Tanner was amazing very friendly! Amazing bartender recommend 100%!!!!!! Thank you tanner!! read more

We used to come here a lot many years ago. It's We recently went there after a night of drinking to soak up some alcohol and heard the food was great. Let me tell you their food now is amazing. Specially after a night of drinking, it was a little awkward being in my 40s and in a place full of 20 somethings but it was just nice to see everybody having a good time no drama but if you want some good late night eats definitely come check this place out. Definitely try the Italian sausage bread so good. read more

Ralph is the man idk why everyone talks about summer here. It's a nice environment for downtown

The changes they've made since I first came here have been great. I love food being available later in the day/night now. It's a simple menu but good during a drink. read more

Service was okay. I can admit i was in the wrong for reaching over and grabbing a lime but the bartender (bald asian dude, he's pretty cool) reached over and squeezed my arm really hard and said "don't ever do that again!" and i said "okay i'm sorry i won't do it again" (with a smile on my face trying to show im sincere because i was) and he continued to grab my arm really hard. it left a mark. i can see where i did wrong but dude you're a man, im a girl- u are way more stronger than i :( read more

Horrible service wait 30 min for my first drink just for the girls to yell no tip and hate speech try out the alley cat where they actually hire mature bartenders sandrinis horrible place read more

I recently went back a few weeks ago and security seemed to fine and no problems. Having to wait in the line was wild because I've never had to wait in the line before lol but than again it's been ages since I've been there. Once I got downstairs it didn't seem as packed,, as in the past it's always been very packed and fun but this time it seemed like there was no need for a line, but I can absolutely understand It being for capacity safety or a fire marshal safety . Happy to see you the late night snack menu was still available. Sausage bread was still amazing as ever. Great to see Don as always, great to be around good people. read more

One of my preferred establishments for dining and beverages. The cuisine is consistently fresh, promptly served, and flavorful, while the beverages are prepared to individual specifications. Summer, the bartender, provides exceptional service, creating a welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of visiting a long-standing friend. The bar features a classic ambiance, including a spacious pool table and lounge area, alongside a full-length bar with ample seating. I recommend this venue to individuals seeking a relaxed environment for socializing and leisure. read more

A lot of fun and excellent drinks. If you're in downtown Bakersfield and want a cocktail this a great place.

Jose the bartender was rude and very unprofessional every other security and staff were excellent service every other bartender was on point except the short Mexican bartender Jose I believe was his name have been told he is like this to many other was surprised by how rude nd mad he was read more

What is going on? I've never had such bad service here. Same bartenders and it wasn't even busy but we literally got ignored the entire time. All parties ordered the amazing Italian sausage bread which still tasted amazing but they came out 20 minutes apart. Please get it together. read more

First time coming here and will be coming back! Everything was very good. The flavors were definitely coming through for all dishes and I throughly enjoyed it. The brownie cake was divine, the warmth of the cake and the richness of the vanilla complimented each other extremely well. The vibes of the place were also so freaking cool. Totally forgot I was in Bakersfield for a second. I know there are a few days where they have live music but I'm not sure when their are exactly. I hope to come back then for the full experience. read more

I love Sandrini's! It's definitely great place for dinner and drinks! Especially happy hour! Happy hour includes well drinks and appetizers for $6 each until 6pm. First of all, I am highly impressed with the quality of the their appetizer and dinner items. They have this garlic and sausage bread thingy with marinara sauce- it's delicious! We always order 2 and share with the table. Great place to hang with friends. And guess what? Amazing service! We loved our server! I wish I knew her name. Definitely check them out! read more

Sandrini's Public House - 4/2025 - Italian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

It was Sunday afternoon and I was begged to accompany someone to this place. I will say that I went against my will. The menu looked interesting but not with my preferred items so I went with the safest thing there is... a chicken sandwich/burger with some fries (Parmesan fries). I was prepared to say "meh" just another chicken sandwich but I was SO wrong.. fist bite and goodness, it was DELICIOUS! The chicken sandwich/burger does contain many ingredients but then flavor is amazing, the texture of the chicken the bread the crunch bacon, everything about it was PERFECT! The fries were crunchy just how I like them! Overall it's a spot between cozy and I guess hip, I like the brick underground walls. The service was also great. Overall a good restaurant experience, very happy and satisfied with everything :) read more

Sausage bread was the best ever. Cesare salad was very good and the Cocktails great. They sat us next to a group that had been drinking during happy hour, they were loud playing games on their phones which resulted in high fives and clapping. Food great. read more

Elisa was so rude ! please inquire about this management we came for fun & karaoke, she just actually just not accommodating and needs to be investigated , thanks! We're also not from Bakersfield so idk read more

Tanner is LITERALLY THE BEST BARTENDER EVER!!!! He was so attentive and made me and the homies feel at home fr!!

Sandrini's is my favorite bar in town! Always a great vibe and fast service. Hit up my boy Tanner for the best drinks in town!

Omg! I've worked next door from here for 2 years and never ordered food. I was lazy so I went to look at the menu.ive been missing out!! I love the pasta. It's how I make mine at home. Garlic, basil, tomatoes, just yum!!! It was quick too! I loved it so much I ordered it again for lunch today. But today I got a salad with it. Yummy too! Came with blue cheese crumbles!! Again, the way I'd make it at home! I'll be back over and over now till I get tired of it or until they get tired of me. Oh yeah booze??? I don't drink it but they got a lot of it. People seemed to be happy in there. I can see why. read more

Tanner is the best ! Great guy great service and today was my first time eating here best food seriously for a bar menu they have a great selection of food to Choose from definitely recommend coming here for drinks and food read more

Is it a restaurant? Is it a place for drunk early 20 locals? Both? I ate here on a weekday and their food is surprising good. The fact that it can be a ratchet hot spot on the weekends made me not even consider to come here to eat which is unfortunate because I know I'm probably not the only one. It has a big of an identity crisis feel but encourage anybody to stop by to eat for sure. read more

I am very thankful for the Sandrini's team. They hosted a private celebration of life for my Father in Law and it was fantastic. They let us host live music in the basement. The food and service were exceptional buffet. If you are looking to support a local business, and have a great private event, I would highly suggest contacting Sandrini's. read more

Food was very mediocre. And I have no idea why Yelp or Google recommended this place for a date. It's a very loud, bustling bar. Our server really didn't have time for us, guessing because we weren't drinking. And I guess I get that, after all, it is a bar, but if you don't want to serve me food, didn't have it on your menu. It's pretty simple. read more

Such a great spot! Underground spot so it's nice and cool down there! You walk down the stairs and it divides into two sections. We wanted to eat so we went to the left side (sans pool table). Our server was great. He kept checking on us and made a great suggestion. I got their newest salad option. I completely forgot to snap a picture and I can't remember the name. It was either Santa Fe or Fiesta Salad. It was bomb. Chicken, grape tomatoes, black beans, cotija cheese and this guacamole fried ball (I wish I had about 5 of those, it only came with one ). The dressing was some thousand island with some spice in it. So good! The boys got their loaded tater tots and beer on draft. We went in a Wednesday afternoon. We will definitely be coming back when we visit again. read more

We were there for the first time this Saturday to celebrate my birthday, we were a party of 9. Our waitress was amazing and attentive. The food was surprisingly delicious!!! We had the Sausage bread, Flat Iron Frites, Carne asada Tots, Chicken Tikka Masala, Grilled Shrimp Pasta, Parmesan Chicken and some of there burgers, truly delicious, no complaints. Their drinks are strong and delicious!!! Definitely will be back!!! read more

Went there tonight at about 9:45 with my kids. It's a Saturday. Our family has been there before after going to Stars theatre. Noticed the security guards so asked them if it's strictly a bar at this time. (I don't normally go to bars so was just asking the question). They were RIDICULOUS. All three of them were super rude and were like, "well you see it's a bar" and I said "well I'm used to being here when they serve food and so I didn't know but that they didn't have to be so unkind about it". They proceeded to loudly say terrible comments as I was walking away with my kids like I was the biggest moron and worst mother and making fun of me. Ok point taken. I've really liked the service and food before but I can't let my kids experience that again. Those dudes really hate life and everyone in it. I talked to my friend about it and she said they treated her the same way. Please get different security. They're really pushing people away. I'm sure they run into some riff raff but if the people are being polite just be polite back. If the owners don't really care then ok. Edit: the owner responded very kindly to me so changing my review. Thanks. read more

The Italian sausage bread is the first thing I think of if I want some bread downtown. The bar & the tenders & the community that shows up speaks for itself.. good times. Great place read more
