We show that the \(p-\) Bergman kernel \(K_p(z)\) on a bounded domain \(\Omega \) is of locally \(C^{1,1}\) for \(p\ge 1\) .The proof is based on the locally Lipschitz continuity of the off-diagonal \(p-\) Bergman kernel \(K_p(\zeta ,z)\) for fixed \(\zeta \in \Omega \) . Global irregularity of \(K_p(\zeta ,z)\) is presented for some smooth strongly pseudoconvex domains when \(p\gg 1\) . As an application of the local \(C^{1,1}-\) regularity, an upper estimate for the Levi form of \(\log K_p(z)\) for \(1<p<2\) is provided. Under the condition that the hyperconvexity index of \(\Omega \) is positive, we obtain the log-Lipschitz continuity of \(p\mapsto {K_p(z)}\) for \(1\le {p}\le 2\) .
