America's last surviving Woolworth lunch counter sits in downtown Bakersfield. On the same original stools, behind the same terrazzo floors, Chef Richard Yoshimura cooks with the kind of care this place has always deserved. Classic comfort food made from scratch. Fresh ingredients, Certified Angus Beef, and a lemon icebox cheesecake that earned its own feature in Bakersfield Life. Local pours from Dionysus and Kern River Brewing. A curated wine list. One floor below, The Basement brings live music, performances, and community events to a subterranean venue built for exactly that kind of energy. Walk through the luncheonette, head down the stairs, and find yourself somewhere worth being. This building held Bakersfield's stories for decades. We restored it so it could hold more.

MoreI was looking forward to coming here but was sorely disappointed! When you enter, there is no signage about if you're meant to find a seat or order first. We waited in line to sit at the vintage...
MoreWoolworths is a nice solid place for a simple lunch if you can find parking (a nearby financial business has dozens of empty reserved spaces that rarely has more than a couple of customers)....
