About me: Fishlips is a fantastic fusion of music, cocktails and food. Created in 2000 Andrew Wilkins and Shawna Haddad Byers reinvented this wonderful venue and have redefined Bakersfield’s standards for live entertainment. Murals featuring legendary performers, signed guitars and music memorabilia grace our walls as the perfect setting for this intimate venue. Don’t let our size or location in Bakersfield fool you, the five Grammy Winners & Eight Grammy Nominee performers have all expressed or have returned for more performances. Once you have experienced a show at Fishlips, it is difficult to see a show at any other local venue. Our extensive menu offers steak sticks, seared ahi tuna, pastas, salads, tacos and one of the best hamburgers you will ever have. 32 Martinis, 12 beers on tap, 40 different vodkas, rum, scotch & Bourbon. We proudly pour Pabst Blue Ribbon on tap to Johnny Walker Blue and everything in between. Since we are a 21 and over venue we are the perfect place for your business lunch or to enjoy a night out at one of our shows. Music, cocktails and grill…it’s what we do! We are open Tuesday through Friday 11am to 2am, and Saturday 3pm to 2am.
Shawna- Just a note to thank you for the great time Cindy and I had at Fishlips last Friday night. Winning the guitar and getting to hang out with Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women after the show -- not to mention having the guitar signed by Dave and the band-- was one of the highlights of my life. It's right up there with getting banjo tips from Bela Fleck and seeing a baseball hit over the "Green Monster" from the grandstand in Fenway Park! It was way beyond cool, and something I'll always remember.
Thanks for continuing to bring great roots music to Bakersfield. You rock!
