Wine Me Up!

This is another spot where the catchy name makes you want to go and check it out. This place has been through a couple of owners that i know of.  The original owners were very knowledgeable on their wines and beers. The current staff are slightly behind in knowledge but make up for it in how personable they are in particular Henry who is the face of Wine me up. That guy goes out of his way to make sure your comfortable and his service is excellent.Recently they have moved bookcases in the middle of the room totally dividing the 1000 sq ft area which doesnt make any sense to me or anyone else with a bit of interior decorating knowledge but hopefully they'll change it. They have various wines and some basic beers you can fine at any bar/restaurant. The thing that sets this place apart is customer service and from what i seen last weekend entertainment. They had an awesome band, which unfortunately cant remember the name, playing there. The other patrons there say this happens every friday and saturday. Well worth it!!!  So come check out this elegant spot, sit back and have a nice glass of wine. You'll be happy you did.

I've been to this place twice now and I have had drastically different experiences.  The first one was not the best, the lady running the place was a bit rude and stand offish.  According to the bar tender she no longer works there.  The second time was a much better experience.  I went there with a group of girls and at first the place was empty but it slowly started to get more busy.  The wine selection was very reasonably priced..some bottles of wine were as low as $17.  They had several wines by the glass options as well.  The atmosphere was good and the bar tender was super friendly.  

I will prolly be back again.

Things are looking up at Wine Me Up!  If you haven't been there since the walls were green then you need to return.  If you think they only have wine to sip on, you would be wrong.  

This is a great place to grab drinks in the NW.  They have new owners, more tables, and are now more focused on entertaining rather than selling trinkets and being a gift shop.  In fact, the only thing you can now purchase here (well, besides food and drinks on the menu) are bottles of wine.  They have an extensive wine list, but they also have beer on tap as well.  

As for entertainment they have live music every Thurs and Fri night.  They also bring in wineries from the area and beyond and host wine tastings.  They also have various BBQ and movie nights, where you pay a flat rate and get food and wine.  Check out their website:  <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.winemeupbakersfield.com%2F&s=1d0ce7f97df8d020c0c10b467624cd71ac5d7ec53877103a81a1c51ba4a5c69c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.winemeupbaker…</a>

They've done a lot with this space and it's a great place to sip on a drink and have a chill night.  I really want to check out one of their events as well!
