    Such a great show with Steve Furey, and others! It was well organized, as we were escorted to our seats and met our waitress right away. It truly felt like a comedy club, with the stand and dim lighting. Everything was great, will definitely attend more shows!

    Came opening night at their new location and my friend and I had so much fun!!! We caught the late show, and it was still a packed house. I thought the server was great, and the place had a nice flow with great/ fun energy. Rob Schneider stopped by for a few minutes, and that was cool! All normal rules apply and stated no heckling or you'd get kicked out.To no surprise there were a few ladies who forgot they were at a comedy club and couldn't keep quiet! They didn't ruin our time but must've been quite embarrassing for them as they had to leave. Lol. The drinks and food were good, the only small issue is that the bathrooms seemed to be easily clogged. But I figure that's a downtown issue not necessarily the establishment. We will be back for sure!! Thanks for a fun night

    I won tickets from Precious 95.7 FM radio station yesterday, and had my first visit last night! The Well has a really nice space; it's been remolded inside since previous businesses, and has ample seating. Most of the comics were funny (headliner Feather Da'Wyz killed it), the waitresses were on point, and my food was good (got fried mushrooms & a Cadillac margarita)! Only thing I didn't care for was the 20% gratuity, but hey- it is what it is, and again, luckily the staff did a great job, overall!

    Mmm, how shall I utter it... This house is most worthy of thy hours. A hearth-like warmth dwells within its walls, where calm spirits gather and laughter breathes easy. Upon crossing its threshold, I am as a moth drawn to a tender flame...Not one that scorches, but one that soothes and beckons, casting a golden glow upon all who enter. Here, time loosens its grip, and your troubles fall gently off your shoulders. I sense, in the weaving threads of fate, many untold shenanigans awaiting me... Here.. at this very Club. Thank you God, thank you Bakersfield, and thank you... The Gracious... Well Comedy Club.

    We went yesterday to go see Russell peters and let me tell ya, this was bonkers! We got drinks, but no food. The service staff were phenomenal and would check up pretty regularly. We ended up getting VIP and sat literally as close to the performer as you could, if you could pay the vip cost do so. Enough about that let's talk about the reason we went, I took my buddy he just wanted to hangout he didn't know who was there or nothing. He said he came out with his head hurting from laughing so much! All in all perfect venue, very much upgraded from the last location, we will definitely go again!

    Caroline Rhea show on Valentine's Day 2025!

    1st time experience at a comedy club in Bakersfield & it was good. The venue is small but nice. They had 2 entrance lines, VIP or regular. We actually waited in our car because it was a cool evening, thinking we have a VIP front row table reserved, but advise for future VIP ticket holders, VIP could have you in the far corner yet " but since it's against the stage it's "front row" seating. We got lucky & still ended up in the front row at the corner. We had friends who were 1st in line VIP who weren't in the front row. TBH save your extra $$ & get a regular priced seat cause all the seats have a good view. I really like how they set up the bar line. BTW they card everyone all ages, kind of feels nice lol. They don't wait on you, you do have to wait in a line to get to the bar. A hostest tells you which of the bar lines is open next. I really liked it because you're told which bar tender to go to & no one is cutting in front of you or ignoring you like a regular bar. We don't drink alcohol, but the Mock-tails were great & very reasonably priced. Not sure why, but the people sitting next of us got moved to a different table, in the back, weird since they were vip, so we moved to front center. The host comedian Andrew something wasn't that great, could have done without him, but Cj & Caroline were hilarious! I laughed so hard. Cj made a joke about a neighboring building & I about lost it lol All & all it was a great evening & we'll gladly be back!

    we had such a great time. Everything was so much more organized than we thought. It was their second night open they seated us in a great seat bring the food and drinks to you. Everything was great. The nachos were a little burnt, but honestly didn't mind cause we had such a great time. The show was amazing. Sad we missed Rob Schneider.

    If it makes you giggle, laugh, smile..........do it again!

    From the atmosphere to the staff to the food, all mixed with laughs, being here is guaranteed a great time! There is lots of parking available. There are more than a dozen tables, the staff are the ones who sit you. So, depending on where you are at sat, you may sit with strangers, just fyi. The chairs are not very comfortable. My husband said the chair was hurting his back, but the chairs were hurting my bum. The menu is simple but still has lots of options to choose from. The cooks last night were a bit over generous on the garlic salt for my liking. The turkey sliders and the fries had a pungent garlic taste. The staff was great, from the door man to the bartenders to the hype men. Dan was hilarious. His material was relatable, so I was busting up! The main man of the night, Erik Escobar, was great! He was so animated and gave out such a great vibe like he knew you. Seeing how funny everyone was last night makes me want to see more funny people! This was our second time coming to The Well, and with the complimentary comedy shows every Tuesday and Wednesday, with specials on food and drinks, why not make The Well Comedy Club a weekly date event!!

    Came out with the beautiful wifey for Thursday comedy nights ( free entry). There was a variety of comics, all with different styles. Drinks were tasty, jokes were funny. Definitely not for someone who gets easily offended. Great way to spend a Thursday night.

    I've been here twice! I love this venue, it's not too small but very intimate. They play all different types of music, so everyone can take a listen. We were first in the GA line for a comedy show and as a token of gratitude they placed us right next to the stage. I was taken back by how sweet that action was. They have a full bar and keep about 3-4 lines open, and they also have a kitchen! I'm obsessed with their fried pickles and house sauce, spicy and just perfect. I tried their pesto sandwich, and it was good but I wish they put less Mayo as it was over powering. It does come with a decent amount of fries . Their drinks are good and decently priced. The parking is shared but there's plenty! To more laughs ~~

    Nobody plans to spend an evening in Bakersfield. You pass through it on the way to somewhere else…read more-- Mammoth, the Sequoias, the long flat grind up the 99 to Sacramento -- and if you stop at all, it's for gas or a bathroom or because your BMW's brakes have decided, somewhere around the Grapevine, that they'd rather not. Thank you, Weatherford BMW of Berkeley, for the near-death experience and, inadvertently, for one of the best nights out I've had in years. Stranded and waiting on repairs, we checked into The Padre, the only hotel in Bakersfield that feels like someone with a subscription to Dwell had a hand in it, and set out walking through a downtown that time has treated with more kindness than reputation suggests. There's a Woolworth's luncheonette still hanging on. There are old brick facades and wide sidewalks and the particular quiet of a Central Valley evening when the heat finally breaks. And then, on 18th Street, there is Tiki-Ko, and suddenly you are no longer in Bakersfield at all. You are, instead, inside someone's magnificent obsession. Tiki-Ko is a proper tiki bar -- not a tiki-themed cocktail lounge, not a place that bought some bamboo at a craft store and called it atmosphere, but a genuine, committed, floor-to-ceiling shrine to mid-century Polynesian fantasy. The carvings are real. The lighting is correct -- which is to say, barely there. The mugs are serious. There are pufferfish lamps and carved totems and the whole glorious taxonomy of tiki ephemera, accented here and there with a skate-culture edge that keeps it from feeling like a museum. It's reverent without being precious. The drinks are the real thing. Mai Tais built with actual orgeat. Zombies that earn the name. The bartenders make them with the kind of care and enthusiasm that tells you this isn't a gig -- it's a calling. They want you to be here. They want to talk about rum. They want you to try the Painkiller. In a city that most Angelenos regard as a punch line, somebody built a world-class cocktail bar and filled it with joy, and the regulars clearly know it. You will not plan a trip to Bakersfield. But if you find yourself there -- by mechanical failure, by accident, by the peculiar mercy of a bad brake job -- walk downtown. Find the tiki bar. Order a second round. Stay longer than you intended. Bakersfield has been underestimated, and Tiki-Ko is the proof.

    Haven't been in here for probably 15 years. It's changed- a bit. I love Tiki bars and I go to every…read moreTiki bar I can find. It's tiny- like a lot of tiki spots. Decor is nice. Little hidden gems. Lighting is dark with bits color and neon popping through. The Bar Top curves around the bar- there are two booths that seat 5-6 and two short tables next to them- one seats 4- the other will comfortably seat two. There are a few bench style seating areas at the front with some short coffee tables. Think- skater tiki bar. The drinks were good- small menu if you're not sure what you want or are new to tiki. Both sides of the menu are the same menu. There are some nice mocktail options as well- you don't see that often. The service for me is mixed- it wasn't busy- steady but not busy- 1/4 full. I ordered two drinks to start for our table- (no cocktail servers here/not unusual for a small Tiki bar) I asked for a soda water- the bartender looked at me without a word- popped open a can of soda water and walked away. When he walked back by, I asked for a glass of ice- he said nothing and I got an eye-roll huff. I almost left. I don't think providing a glass with ice to pour your canned room temp soda water in, is too wacky an idea to be perturbed by the request. The female who took the order was friendly, smiled and was professional. We got a third cocktail- the Mai Tai. The grumpy bartender was friendlier this time. So, that helped. Maybe he felt overwhelmed and I threw off his groove by asking for water- then a glass... either way- being annoyed wasn't cool. The music.... Wasn't Tiki- it threw off the "Tiki Vibe" and made it feel typical small local bar that serves only Tiki drinks with some Tiki decor. It didn't take you to the land of Tiki- disappointed. Drinks were good.

    Had no idea this place has been open for four years, and I'd never tried it…read more Went on a Thursday night, we ended up being the only ones there. I understand weekends has live music. It's rustic and clean, it's very clean. There's a very large side room for events etc. the main bar area is small with some nice chairs to sit in and the large tv was set to a fireplace. The floors are covered in various beef/farm brands, adds to the rustic western vibe. Bartender was friendly and attentive. She kept busy cleaning and dusting bottles- like I said- it's clean. Drinks for a "speakeasy" were not special. Very typical bar drinks- no special menu etc. I visit a lot of speakeasy's- this is, speakeasy-ish. Our two drinks & a club soda were nearly $40. They were made well. Unfortunately, they didn't have the ingredients to make the drink I had asked for. Overall, I'd like to see this place on a weekend night with music. The drinks were over priced for what they were- IMO. That said, I'll likely return, at least once. Still bummed KC doesn't have a nice speakeasy.

    Our favorite local spot with THE BEST ambiance. I have never had a bad experience here…read more Haley is a delight and is very knowledgeable as both a bartender and server. We love coming here just to see her. This is a great spot for a quiet date night. It can get pretty pricey, but half of what you pay for is the location and the service, which is second to none. This is a great spot to host a private party as well and does require a password to get in. A great way to ensure your party stays private!
