The Owner Alexandra Ireland has recently said they recently changed the menu at their Clovis location, removing some of the more risky-titled selections after community feedback. The Bakersfield location opened this last Thursday. Ireland was on hand Friday and described Bottom's Up as a combination of great customer service, great drinks and sexy women.
