    9 Best Breweries In Santa Barbara

    December 29, 2021 /

    Craft brewing in California has been on the rise in recent years with more breweries operating in California than in any other state. And there is no better place to sample some of the best California beers than in Santa Barbara that’s known for sandy beaches and endless sunshine-filled days! While Santa Barbara is famous for its fine wine, it is also home to some of the top independent breweries in California. Many of these craft brewers offer amazing food while others have fun events with live music, comedy shows, and trivia nights for a great evening out. Whenever I’m in Santa Barbara, I like to check out a few…

    Dot x Ott Review: Hip Restaurant & Mercantile In Bakersfield

    April 25, 2021 /

    If you’ve spent some time in downtown Bakersfield, the odds are that you’ve seen or heard of Dot x Ott Restaurant. This eatery & mercantile is located in the up-and-coming Eastchester part of downtown Bakersfield right off the corner of 18th and O streets. Dot x Ott is one of those places that caught our attention immediately with their simple yet modern vibe. After our first visit, we fell in love with their food and casual, hip atmosphere. This is a great spot to visit for lunch, weekend brunch, or special occasions like intimate Birthday dinners and date nights. Dot x Ott Menu With a small but well-thought-out menu Dot…

    Brewery Review: Temblor Brewing Company In Bakersfield

    April 19, 2021 /

    Temblor Brewing Company is a local brewery in Bakersfield that has been making a name for itself since its establishment in 2015. With a wide variety of beers to choose from and an extensive food menu, it’s one of the best breweries in town. If you’re not from Bakersfield, you might be surprised to find out that Bakersfield has an up-and-coming brewery scene. But in a place that’s sizzling hot half of the year, there is nothing better for cooling off at the end of the day than a refreshing, ice-cold beer. If it’s your first time heading out to Temblor Brewing Company, we cover a bit of what you…

    10 Standout Places To Eat In Bakersfield, California

    April 10, 2021 /

    Finding a place to eat can be challenging. Unless you’re a local who’s in the know, your phone’s search results for eateries typically yield fast-food drive-thru’s or your common chain restaurants. And while I love a freshly baked pizza at CPK or drinks at Yard House, sometimes I just crave something different, especially when I want to impress my hipster friends from LA when they come to visit us for the weekend.   After living in Bakersfield for over 2 years, I have been all over town in search of some of the best places to eat. The below list includes some of my favorite local joints that have quality…

    The Service Station is a wonderful restaurant in the historic Jamestown offering high-quality ingredients, craft beers, and local wines. We stumbled upon The Service Station after calling around trying to find dog-friendly restaurants near Sonora or Jamestown. While originally we were looking for a quick meal after a long day of driving, we ended up having an excellent dinner and a great time at The Service Station. The Atmosphere The Service Station restaurant is located inside an old historic building in downtown Jamestown.

    Pizza Barn Review – Budget Friendly Pizzas In Kernville

    March 11, 2020 /

    Pizza Barn is the local “go-to” pizza spot in Kernville, a small mountain town located on the outskirts of Lake Isabella. We arrived at Lake Isabella late on a Friday night for a quick weekend getaway from Bakersfield. After spending over an hour driving in our car we were tired, hungry and just wanted to find a quick bite to eat before calling it a night.   Lake Isabella is surrounded by a few very small towns so the food choices here were pretty limited. After a quick Google search, I came across Pizza Barn in Kernville, a local “mom and pop” eatery that is one of the highest-rated restaurants…

    Kern River Brewing Company Review – Kernville’s Best Brewpub

    March 10, 2020 /

    I love a good brewery! Nothing sounds better after a full day of outdoor activities and sightseeing than relaxing with a craft beer in your hand. At Lake Isabella, Kern River Brewing Company is just that place. Located in the small town of Kernville with mountains and nature as its backdrop, Kern River Brewing Company is a favorite amongst Lake Isabella locals and out of town travelers alike. Many people from my co-working space in Bakersfield travel an hour to Kernville once a month just to hang out and enjoy beers at this brewery – so that in itself speaks volumes about how dedicated its customers are about coming here.…
