About the restaurant
Tacos. Tequila. Whiskey.
Serving up authentic, Mexican street fare, and a selection of over 100 tequilas and American whiskeys. Bakersfield is a spot where the food is simple, the service is warm, and the atmosphere is alive.

About the restaurant
Humbly innovative. Fueled by a passion to draw deeper connections between food and spirits, Service Bar delivers an experience that is refreshingly innovative, much of that due to carefully placed hints of nostalgic flavors and techniques. Housed in Middle West Spirits, one of Ohio’s first craft distilleries, the stunning main dining room is both intimate in size and lively in energy.

Full dinner service is available first-come first-serve at the main bar, and by reservation at a variety of smaller individual tables that accommodate 2-6 guests.

I have come three times and each time I have had a good experience. I am happy with the level of service. The last time I was there a service manager was courteous enough to ask everyone if they minded if he split the screens instead of just doing it. The food came out fast for the amount of volume there was and it was actually hot. I would recommend the Philly.

We were seated at our table and waited 15 minutes for a server. Asked one waiter he said it wasn't his table so I went to the hostess and she apologized and said she would take care of it. Here comes Trish (a sweet young lady) and apologized and said she would be taking care of us. And YES she did !! She was amazing (even though we were not in her section) and was absolutely a great waitress. She smiled and was so very pleasant. She made up for what started to be a bad experience. Thanks Trish for making our night better.

About the restaurant
Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

Loved the Avocado Egg Rolls. We went on a Thursday and had the daily special. Everything was prepared perfectly and our service was outstanding.
