Sharktooth Hill is famous for million year-old fossils, and many of them are on display at the Buena Vista Museum in Bakersfield. The highlight of the collection is a five star skeletal fossil that is the 10,000,000-year-old ancestor of today's flipper-footed marine mammal friends, the seal, sea lions, and walruses.
Step inside McMurphy's Irish Pub to enjoy the nightlife of a watering hole that's been around for 40 years. This bar boasts genuine Irish fun with, for sure, the coldest Guinness, of course, Hefenweizen, Heineken, and Newcastle beer on tap, along with six domestic beers and thirty different bottled beers from all over the world. Cheers!
