It is truly hit or miss. As with most clubs/bars the amount of enjoyment can be attributed to your groups ability to have fun. Being said, my friends and I can have fun almost anywhere.
Pro's:
Big designated dance floor.
Mirrors
Dance cage
Smoking/chatting area separate from dancing area
Cons:
Cover charge is annoying
Mixed drinks aren't great
Interior could use a good cleaning
Overall, it's not bad. Not great by any means. But with what Bakersfield has to offer, one can't be too picky.
It's been several years since I was in here, but  after reading the recent postings, I feel an obligation to check in. True, this is the only gay club in Bakersfield, and THAT's why the bullying, arrogance, tacky atmosphere, overpriced diluted drinks, and usurious cover charges. And any place that still allows smoking is not only putting their victims at risk, they are also violating state law and should be reported to the proper authorities. Â
Will the predator who owns this financial sinkhole ever change? Sure - if he ever gets some serious competition.
In the meantime, here's a Black Eye on Bakersfield, California. The best thing the gay community can do is boycott this toilet until the owner cleans it up or shutters it.
Remember, just because he caters to a gay clientele doesn't mean he's gay friendly - and this cesspool is anything but gay friendly.
My 1st gay club in "Bako'. Dated decor inside,it was spacious, drinks where decent. They have TV's over the bar area with videos, fashion shows. Went on a Friday night, they had an okay Drag show. Dance floor/area is pretty large. They also have a back room lounge with smoking inside? Fun times.
