The 18Hundred is so great. Good food, yummy drinks and the desserts come in smart portions if you need which makes it even that much sweeter. - Ariana Rocha

We tried Gaslight Theater. Dinner and a show, entertaining and something new to try if you haven't experienced melodrama. - Julie Garcia

1933. It’s the right atmosphere to hang out and have fun! - Bianca Gutierrez

BLVD is fun when you’re not quite sure what you want to do. You can get food and have options to bowl, play games, laser tag, etc. - Cheyanne Rigsby

You can’t beat a sunset picnic out at Hart Park! - Courtney Wright

Best food in town: Sorella's. Nice ambiance for two. - Dawn Brown

Flame and Fire. The food, staff and whole atmosphere is a nice experience for a date night. - David Fuentes

Studio Movie Grill because everything is alright there; dinner , movie, drinks (and my son  works there too!). - Dianna Coryell

I would recommend getting dinner at Mama Roomba’s and walking over to catch a show at the Fox Theatre. It is so beautiful in downtown Bakersfield. - Florita Flores

We love going out to eat at a local restaurant like the Thai House or Firestone Grill and then spending some time at Imbibe. They have an amazing wine selection and live music on Friday nights. - Rachel Welch
