Jerry's Pizza & Pub, Bakersfield

Jerry’s Pizza & Pub has been a mainstay in Bakersfield’s dining and live music scene since 1992. Originally founded with the aim of making the best pizza in town, the venue has grown into more than just a pizza place-it’s a well-loved neighborhood spot where food and music meet. Located on Chester Avenue, the pub has served generations of locals with specialty pizzas, calzones, burgers, and sandwiches, alongside a rotating list of domestic and imported beers, ales, and wines.

The atmosphere at Jerry’s is casual and welcoming, with live music playing a central role in its identity. Weekly concerts by local alternative bands have made it a cultural fixture for Bakersfield’s music fans. The space doubles as a restaurant and performance venue, creating a lively blend of flavors and sound. Regular weekend shows keep the stage busy, while seasonal events and lunch specials keep the menu fresh.

Though under new ownership, Jerry’s continues to deliver the same familiar flavors that earned it a loyal following, now paired with new items that reflect evolving tastes. Online ordering and pickup services offer convenience, but many still choose to dine in and experience the venue’s original charm. The staff maintains a commitment to inclusivity and community, aiming to keep Jerry’s a safe and relaxed space for all guests.

After more than three decades, Jerry’s Pizza & Pub remains a cornerstone of local dining and entertainment. It’s a place where you can grab a slice, enjoy a beer, and catch live music-all under the same roof.
