Back in November my wife stopped by the Dog House to see a friend and she was 86'd by the bartender on shift and told my wife how the owner "Cliff" found a review here that she wrote talking crap about him and that particular bartender. I just spent a good amount of time reading all the reviews about The Dog House Saloon and Savanahs looking for such review that the owner "Cliff" is claiming that my wife wrote. My wife went to work for this idiot twice and If you think you get treated badly as a patrian just imagine what it would be like working for him. So first, but not the least of all things my wife would never have a single negative thing to ever say about this bartender, and second of all and again not the least of all things she would never waist her energy writing a yelp review like myself about his sorry self. I hope you enjoy the review Cliff. read more

I was drugged at this bar and put into a car against my will by men I had just met that night. Erica was the bartender and was aware that I was there alone and had just met these guys. Stay away. You've been warned. read more

Do not recommend! My military brothers came to visit for the holidays and they were so excited to check out the town that they grew up in but they were so disappointed when the bartender had THE WORST ATTITUDE! It was literally 5 of us (two military) and 2 others who walked out at the same time! it was so ridiculous and when we told her she was being rude she just kept repeating "I don't really care" Guys if you don't like your job QUIT!!!!!! Stop ruining people experience because YOURE UNHAPPY! It really sucked because we were all so excited to hang out after two years since they had been deployed. read more

Friendly bar, great staff, we all had a very nice time. The bar was clean, and welcoming. We recommend going.

From LA to Tehachapi, this place definitely took me by surprise. My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to have a drink or 2 on our mini getaway from the big city and listen to some music. We are open to anything, but the DJ was playing everything, from old school Hip Hop to house music. It was great, we had a good time and the mixed drinks were really good and at a good price. Ps. The tall, blonde young lady was an awesome bartender, she was on top of it, she kept our drinks coming and kept checking on us. We loved her service. read more

Great little spot with a huge liquor selection. The space is very clean and spacious for how small it is. The bartenders were kind and the music was good, just a bit too loud. They even have n/a beer, which is hard to find. read more

BE CAREFUL not to go to this bar too late, the bartenders seem to close the bar whenever they want. There was 5 ppl in the bar and the Bartender on duty last night, told my party of 15 she had already cleaned up and we should head over to Savannah's instead. So I guess go to Savannahs, as their own bartender suggested. We had a great time there celebrating the wedding we came from. Who tells a bride they're not going to serve them? She was so rude. read more

Is anyone else in town aware that Cliff Sauzo, the owner of The Doghouse Saloon in town, records people without their permission and posts video of it? (Not of people trying to steal or cause trouble mind you, but just in general and if he thinks it is juicy). He does this to his own paying customers. He is in a business and treating his customers with blatant disrespect. I do realize this is his property, but also his business and a business does not run without customers. Definitely never going back. He also tried to make a customer, one of my friends, pay for spilling a beer on accident on their newly refurbished tables. It was unspeakably unprofessional. Accidents happen, probably even more so in a bar. You are the owner and should expect this and be ready for it. This incident was also not handled professionally as him and one of his bartenders lost their cool about it and did not seem to know how to handle anything going wrong. No matter how minor. read more

Marissa maybe the new girl, but she needs a new profession. She was more interested in her cell phone than refilling our way over priced Cadillac margaritas. And don't get me started on trying to cash out !!! 1st time there and won't be back!!! read more

Best place in town to feel safe meet new friend relax and enjoy a great atmosphere. Cliff is a great host and owner. All the bartenders are friendly and beautiful. read more

The Dog House Saloon - Pool tournament for Tehachapi Cancer Foundation - Bars Near Me - Tehachapi, California

Would recommend this to anyone in town. read more

I have partied all over the place so I never would've thought that I would have the time of my life in some bar in Tehachapi but damn. From start to finish it was a great time. The guy at the door was super nice and cracking jokes. The old guys buying us drinks and chatting us up were adorable. The bar tender was awesome. Everyone was nice and friendly. Even after I puked, lost my shoes and shirt, and effectively got kicked out of the bar everyone was still nice and having a blast with me. It was a fun time. Lol sorry about puking everywhere hahahah read more

This is a local bar with a big heart! They serve drinks that are legitimate, no short shotting of drinks and no overcharging for drinks you did not have. They are honest! They have three pool tables that are well kept up and level. Out back is a large outdoor patio that has a big fire ring and a campfire going, informal but clean concrete floor under the stars great time. List goes on, go see for yourself. read more

Seems a likely place to get into trouble. Most of the people seem nice, the owner not so much. A bit of a pig with the female patrons and a bit of a bully. His wife also works there I'm told but apparently tolerates his bad behavior. Don't think I'll go back. That being said, met a few nice people there. Maybe there's not many choices in this area. Still, not the only bar in town. read more

Horrible! The owner is a loser, he can't seem to keep good bartenders, the bar is a dump. If you want a fun place go to big papas, I love when the younger blonde bartender is working Brittney? Courtney? Something like that. That's where I go when I come to town. As for the doghouse I wish I could give it negative stars. read more

I will NEVER go to this bar again. I've been here twice and both times the bar tenders were extremely rude!! They keep records of receipts and tabs on post it's!!! When we asked for an actual receipt printed from the POS system we were told to leave and never come back followed by unnecessary foul comments from the staff and owner. I really doubt a couple cocktails and three beers is $100 plus. The owner Cliff is extremely unprofessional and doesn't serve customers based on politics, sexuality and races he doesn't like. I understand wanted to have policies on behavior in a bar but to be homophobic, sexist and racist are three strikes in my book. Disgusting customer service and ownership tactics if you ask me. Move into the 21st century Dog House. read more

I probably won't be going here again. The service varies wildly depending on who's working. One of the bartenders is really good, the rest are awful. Even when it's not busy I usually have to sit at the bar for ages before they acknowledge that I'm even there. And good luck getting a second drink. Also, the last time I dropped in for a quick drink in the early evening, I decided to put a song on on their jukebox, as no music was playing. There were only a couple customers and a couple employees present. After I paid to play one song (a pretty mellow song too) one of the employees began loudly complaining that someone would put on music and made the bartender go turn the volume down. Correct me if I'm wrong, but why have a jukebox if you're going to be mad when customers put money in it? So after that, I sat at the bar with an empty glass for almost ten minutes while the staff hung out at the other end of the bar ignoring me. Sadly this is one of the few places to go in Tehachapi on a Friday night, so they can pretty much behave however they want and offer terrible service. I guess it's easy to be a popular bar when you have no competition. read more

Always has the newest music playing. Best place to go dancing and have cheap cocktails on the weekends. Great bartenders. Positive vibes. Close atmosphere read more

fun place, the music really sucks though, I went there last night and they had a mobile DJ person there, and all I heard all night long was country music. I realize we're out in the boonies here, but really? Country music?? Other than that, the bartender was really cool she's a total sweetheart. read more

Passing through T town on a Friday night with some time to kill. Happened into this lil watering hole with a cool cigar and MC apparel store attached to it. Not to crowed with a cool Dj playing some good ol tunes. Had a couple of strong drinks and some good convo with friendly locals. 2 super cool lady's tending bar. Nice outdoor patio, 2 pool tables and dart boards. What else do you want when your the new kid in town. read more

Great place to grab a drink. Nice to go into a place and just grab a drink from some great bartenders while listening to some good music from the DJ. Definitely the best bar in Tehachapi. read more

Great Place! The "Cheers" of Tehachapi! A nice place with 2 pool tables! Dog House brings in great talent...and the DJ's are very cool! The music is very diverse, a mix of young and old! The owners are wonderful people that give back to the community! Comfortable, laid back! A local hangout but welcoming to travelers! read more

This place was surprisingly the shit, for lack of a better term. We drove by our first night there and made a decision not to go in because we didn't think the people that were there would be kind to us "big city" folk but we decided to give them a chance the following night and had a blast. Plus, they have awesome and CLEAN bathrooms which literally makes any place great to me. read more

Cool little bar on the main drag in Tehachapi. We stopped in because they are supposed to have great bloody Mary's, and they do! Although I guess you can only get shrimp in them on the weekends, which I thought was odd. But still, a great drink. The bartender was a sweetheart too. Cool place. read more

Came in on a Tuesday night and it was super slow but the bartender was amazing. Dakota was super attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this place! read more

Definitely my favourite bar in town. The bar tenders are always nice, personable and prompt with service. Almost always busy on the weekends, but not in a bad way. Prices are decent, and if you buy a sweater from them you get discounts on Tuesdays which pay for themselves in the long run. read more

Such a fun place to have a drink and dance!! We will definitely be returning to this great place. Relaxed atmosphere and fair prices. Wonderful addition to Tehachapi! read more
