Brimstone Bar at Padre Hotel - Bakersfield (CA)

4 /5 John Haberkern: I came in for lunch today with my friend. This is the restaurant at the Padre Hotel. Our waitress introduced herself and told me her name was Kimberly. Kimberly did an outstanding job, she deserves praise. I ordered their basic cheeseburger with fries. It was pretty good. It is small and way overpriced at $18 but nevertheless it was good, just not worth $18. My friend ordered the sliders, and he said they were very good. Lunch and the service were exceptional. Downtown is filled with restaurants everywhere. I hope management takes note and realizes that their cheeseburger is overpriced .

4 /5 Leslie Iacono: We had a very decent experience. You walk into the hotel and the bar is on your left. Big bar with comfy leather chairs. Tons of high top tables with servers to help you. Open seating. The menu does not have the vegetarian stuff clearly labeled. They have 3 items that are labeled vegetarian but then they also have other veggie items not labeled…. Like the pretzel bites and margarita pizza. We even double checked with the kitchen, items have cheese and butter which for a vegetarian is fine, nothing is vegan on the menu. Decent service, good margs, good happy hour

5 /5 Matt Blanco: We had a nice time at this small restaurant. Its located directly at the bar in The Padre Hotel. We had the Burger and Truffle Mushroom Carbonara. The pasta was very good and something that i never had before, the Burger was good as well. My only note is the patty itself needs to be alittle bit bigger, the bun and condiments over take the pattys size. Overall had a good time would recommend.

1 /5 Jessica: Went here yesterday with my mother, it took FOREVER for someone to help us out, when they finally did, the waitress was very tense and uptight. Very self absorbed, no apologies or remorse for neglecting us. She was combative and defensive, she could have at least apologized but she was self absorbed and emotionally weak, getting her feather ruffled up quick. The food was mediocre. The presentation is beautiful but the food taste is sub par. The decorations and presentation are great but the speed of service and actual interaction with staff is atrocious. The server said the sauce of our spicy sandwiches was supposed to be on the side, it wasn’t. She said she would come and refill our waters, she never did. She gave me the wrong wine glass and never allowed us to speak to her about it because she was closed off and uptight. Really difficult interactions. Difficult unreasonable staff. Go to the botanist instead. I undertipped because the service was awful. My mother wanted to tip something, if it was up to me, I wouldn’t have tipped at all.

5 /5 AJ Marinaccio: This place looks amazing! The staff was helpful and kind. The food was delicious. I love finding places like this when I travel. When I come through this area again, I will have to come back and try the New York steak. On this night I ordered a side salad with blue cheese, the Wago burger with truffle fries.
