Social House Kitchen & Bar - Bakersfield, California

The food was pretty good, sign up for a table as soon as you can, rather than waiting to get up front and finding out the hard way when it's busy. Good music, lots of tvs ,good drink selections. Lots of food options as well. Tried the smothered steak fries and substituted for sweet potato fries, as well as the wagyu mini corn dogs.

Nice place to eat, great drink, the sprout skillet, shrimp skewers, street tacos: delicious and good portion. The wings were delicious too.. great ambiance and the service was amazing. Our waitress was super friendly, patient and helpful. She did a great job.
Definitely a place we want to visit again.

I had a Cesar crispy chicken wrap 🌯 one by far the best wrap I've had. My server Nelson who is amazing btw get him a raise!! He recommended some tweaks on the wrap and 😲 wow !!!!

Took over thirty minutes to get our food AND to see our waitress again. She was clearly interested in tables that were drinking alcohol for the tips. I am a stickler for leaving tips for servers. But, I felt NO guilt not leaving one today. Surprisingly the pizza I ordered was decent. All and all, I will NOT come here for lunch again. This place is better suited for if you're planning on drinking or watching a game and don't mind obnoxiously loud people screaming in your ear or waitresses who won't pay attention to your table if you're not ordering alcohol.

What a fun place to meet with friends! Our Bunco group had not seen each other in 4 years due to Covid, and we finally did.

Social house did not disappoint! The music was on spot, the drinks were great and the food and service was spot on.

We ordered several different salads, a burger, nachos- everyone enjoyed their order. I had the crispy chicken Cobb salad ( subbed the blue cheese for feta and chose spicy ranch)- literally came home and told my husband it was probably the best salad I’ve ever had at a restaurant- well done!

Also, the vanilla pineapple margarita was delicious, and white wine and sangria were also enjoyed by our group.

We will be returning. 😊

Update:
Been back several times for lunch, it’s been pretty good.
Waiter/bartender Daniel, did outstanding job and deserves praise.
Nice, cute, clean, neighborhood bar and grill that has excellent food, not just bar food, but really good restaurant food, including lamb, steak, chicken and duck.
I had a few minutes to spare, stopped in for a drink and appetizers.
I ordered a shrimp skewer, it comes on a bed of cold saw, it was excellent and hit the spot of a light meal. The nice lady sitting next to me was quite loquacious, she was saying how good her pastrami cheeseburger was, she was quite happy about it, will have to try it next time.

Nice place to grab a drink with friends!

This place is called the Social House for a reason. It’s a great place to meet up with friends and grab a good drink.

We had the Smothered Tots as an appetizer and I have to say these were excellent.

The burgers were pretty good. Solid burgers I don’t have any complaints about them.

The drinks were exceptional!

Blood Orange Cosmo - ordered it because my server recommended it. It was good.

Then I ordered a Long Island. Finally got a decent Long Island in this town.

I am knocking a star off because our friend wanted to come here here because of their unique specials that they post on their social media. But there were no specials that day. Sad.

Overall. I would recommend this place!

Everything I had here was so tasty. We had the nachos to start off with and they have their own cheese sauce and what was particularly good TO ME, was that they added pickled red onions. Before you say, "ew" give them a fair chance. Then my friends got the salmon salad and she was happy with it. Another friend got the apricot salmon and it was Amazing! And if you're into burgers, get one here.
