A History of Crest Bar & Grill

Crest Bar & Grill was originally a drive-in movie theater. The business opened in 1963, and for 35 years, guests enjoyed delicious food and feature films. In 1998, the theater closed. 

Five years later, in 2003, it was dismantled, and Bakersfield KOA Journey brought it back to the community as Crest Bar & Grill.
