50 Best Cocktail Bars near Cathedral City

“Great entertainment and fantastic service“

“I enjoyed eating here very much the food was delicious and authentic, we ordered aguachiles, authentic and flavorful and the tacos governador were delicious. I would only recommend that they put a little extra touch of decoration to give it a more relaxing atmosphere and feel, but that’s just my opinion , our server was super friendly and helped provide unbiased recommendations.“

“Fave bar in town cuz the drinks are cheap, strong, and there’s always something happening here through the week. Their drag shows are hilarious. Karaoke is a blast. It’s a must visit when you’re in town!“

“The Roost Lounge is a neighborhood bar with a nurturing family atmosphere where everyone feels welcome, from management to staff“

“Wow!! Absolutely amazing restaurant and bar! Flew in late last night and wanted a fun place with atmosphere to have appetizers and drinks. This was the perfect place!! Outdoor or indoor patio with mist kept is cool and refreshed. Loved the dim lighting and the modern decor! So inviting and relaxing. Fresh flowers on the tables and comfortable chairs. Very good service ! Excellent food! Tasty drinks that were visually appealing!! I’ll definitely go back ! Julio The manager greeted us and chatted with us and made us feel so welcome!! Our waiter was Jonathan was very friendly and attentive . This place is a gem and in the perfect location downtown!“

“Great place and awesome service and drinks“

“We had an excellent experience at The Tailor Shop on a Saturday night. It was lively, but not overly crowded. Three bartenders were making drinks, so there was never a wait for service. Water glasses were filled regularly and the staff was very attentive to our needs. We had two delicious drinks for each of us (a classic old fashion, a gin drink called Last Word, a rye whiskey drink called Ward 8, and a Woodford Reserve drink called Owner's Club) and a variety of small plates - spicey tuna, a cheese plate, and meatballs. The portions were ample and easily shared. The drinks were carefully crafted and very flavorful. Overall I highly recommend this establishment. My only complaint - the tables are too small.“

“Absolutely delicious food made with love. Portions are generous and tasty. I highly recommend for the best burgers in town and their amazing specials...you will return after you eat here!!!“

“I chanced on this place from a person I met at a bar downtown DHS. Looks kinda trashy from the outside but don't judge this book by its cover. The best Karaoke experience I've ever had and I do it a lot. A real stage, stage lighting, smoke machines and friggin A, an actual guitar player who looks like Mick Mars playing along if he knows the song and he seemed to know them all! I sang Black Keys, Deep Purple and The Who so right up his alley. Redd was impressed enough that he bought me a shot after I sang The Seeker, never had a DJ buy me a drink! Both the bartenders were super nice and drinks were really inexpensive so this place freaking rocks. Great crowd too, lots of really friendly locals. And also get this, the place has several pool tables, the longest shuffleboard I've ever seen and dog friendly too!“

“Just love the vibe, the food, the swanky cocktails and the service. Thank you for a fun experience and the Bear behind the bar 🐻“

“Jimmy and his team treated us like family. Great food, great drinks and great service. We will be back every trip!!“

“Staff is amazing, food and drinks are delicious, you can bring your fur-babies, you're not sitting on top of each other, the vibe is relaxing with great music playing in the background, but not too loudly. We had a fantastic time!“

“We came here from Canada and I just needed to write a review about Patrick, he visited our table and made sure we all ordered food that we’d like etc, but his personality was absolutely phenomenal, he is so hilarious and personable. Would absolutely recommend this place solely to see him but the food was just as good.“

“A unique, elegant sports bar that transitions to a night time, hopping dance spot with great food, Awesome staff and a Family feel. An awesome addition to Palm Canyon.“

“We came here for our first time last night and Ava was our server. She was so attentive and amazing throughout the night. She was constantly checking on us to see if we needed anything. The rest of the staff was amazing as well, including the Security Team. I don't understand all the negative reviews I read prior to coming here. I highly recommend this place and would visit again.“

“Love this place, and their new expansion is beautiful, great hang out. I'm not a lover of banquette seating, tables are to close for any kind of intimate conversation, they did try to move us but as usual the place was booked, one of the owners said hello to us on our way out. We most definitely will return, my only critique I think they should offer a different dinner mint with your check, I used to get the chocolate mints at dennys. lol“

“Our 5th year dining at The Farm for Valentine's Day. The service is wonderful and the food is beautifully presented. There are plenty of choices available and the portions are just perfect as well as the pace that the food is brought out. It is a lovely dining experience when in Palm Springs.“

“Service was great from Carlos- food delicious- used to be such a nice touch that you ended the meal with a small shot of amaretto and a small biscotti biscuit. It appeared that some tables got them and others didn't. We aren't sure why we didn't get it and we didn't ask. We were waiting for it but we didn't order dessert and quickly received our check. Won't keep us from returning but it was a nice touch that was missed.“

“I have been to the Sedona location and the Palm Desert location is even far superior. The taste, presentation and service were all exceptional... especially given that they have only been open for three weeks. The Mole Enchilada was the best I have ever had. Decor was fresh, modern, open, airy and welcoming. Nice bar to sit at as well. I will be coming back many times. Bob K Palm Desert“

“We miss the buns you used to serve. Why don't you put them on the menu and charge for them? The replacement buns on the menu are NOT nearly as good. Also why did you tae the pork and burger sliders off the menu..they were great Happy Hour/anytime items .“

“Really nice place for breakfast just off El Paseo - freshly cooked, good service, and a nice vibe. A real antidote to the major chains!“

“The atmosphere takes you to a village in Mexico. The food is authentic. Love the nachos. Pleasant wait staff.“

“Every bite was outstanding. Service was spot on (once wine glass had one sip left, was offered another) and table spacing kept conversations private. Could have been a bit more on the plate per the price, everybody's burgers are over $20 now. At least frites are included.“

“An absolutely wonderful stage with the atmosphere inclusive and beautiful!! Great venue for comedy and an unbelievable staff/hospitality.“

“Yummy food and super friendly staff.“

“This is long overdue, but I have enjoyed La Spiga for years. It is one of my favorite restaurants for celebrations and fine dining experiences. The patio is absolutely gorgeous, the entire team is so kind, welcoming and do an impeccable job elevating your dining experience. Their food is fantastic. My personal favorite is the white truffle pasta. I have gotten many of my friends and clients hooked on that pasta. Needless to say, if you’re looking for a fine dining experience with a bit of old school charm, and a team of really kind and good humored people, I highly recommend La Spiga.“

“I can't say enough about the vibe, people, space, and staff. The staff are wonderful, they won me over because a friend accidentally knocked over my martini that I literally had two sips from it. This happened right near the bar and the bar tender who made my the original martini saw this and started making me another and when I went to pay she said no. That is really amazing. And the other bartender was so nice as well. We were there because a friend reserved the back part for a party and it was the perfect space. There were about 30 people and had food catered in, such a great time. Was my first time and looking forward to going back.“

“Jimmy and his team treated us like family. Great food, great drinks and great service. We will be back every trip!!“

“We went last night for happy hour and had a delicious charcuterie tray and bottle of wine. The staff is welcoming and the place has a cool vibe. We will definitely return next time we visit.“

“Found out about this restaurant cause it’s listed on the Michelin Guide.

We had a group of 6 on a Saturday morning around 9:30, it was packed! There was a 30 minute wait so we just went shopping while we waited to get a text that our table was ready. They don’t take reservations.

We got seated on the patio. There were a few flies which kind of got annoying as we’re sitting there talking, having to swat them away. I wish they had fly fans to deflect flies away from food. The food though, delicious!! The whole group enjoyed their food. Half of us got the sourdough french toast, the other half got the fall hash. I got the hash and it did not disappoint!

Armando provided amazing service! Overall, we enjoyed our time here.“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our experience on Saturday, January 17. Our waitress was Marlene and so truly added to our evening! Kudos to Marlene! Loved the table lighting too“

“Literally a quaint Little Bar in the heart of Palm Desert. Great drinks and a welcoming atmosphere with a down home menu. A touch of the LA music scene is the desert. The burgers are awesome!“

“Food was delicious service was great. Very nice meal.“

“The food is always wonderful. I love the Viet wings. It’s a must order on every visit.“

“This restaurant is truly special. Their Thanksgiving spread and service were incredible and we could easily see that they all work as a family not just co workers. They gave my Dad’s girlfriend a wonderful spread of birthday desserts, the whole restaurant sang to her and they even had football going for the Ravens fans next to us! The chef personally came to talk with us and I’d like to give a special shout out to Gina. One of the best servers I’ve ever had at a restaurant. I hope we make it back soon!“

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“Friendly staff Fantastic fresh sushi Generous portions And a good price for the quality It will be a regular!!“

“Fantastic place rented off a really nice owner called Drew who looked after us really well. Facilities we’re great and any staff we met were helpful“

“A perfect intersection of chill/casual meets chic and tasteful, great spot to grab dinner (or breakfast) if you're in Palm Springs. Food is delicious, we loved the Branzino but the plant forward menu as a whole is perfectly curated. Gary and all the other staff are wonderful. Attentive but not overbearing, looked after us so well! Beautiful vibes - would absolutely return again.“

“Stayed here with my husband and had an amazing time! The restaurant is very nice and trendy. The rooms are very clean & modern. Could use some sprucing up of furniture and carpet but overall a great value for the room. Bed was very comfortable. Pool & drinks half the time! Cant go wrong here!“

“This is one of the coolest bars anywhere. No signs. Just a heavy dark curtain covers the entrance from the adjoining steak house. Exceptional boutique cocktail bar. Wonderful libations and super service.“

“Drove all the way from menifie out to Palm Desert for this. It was fabulous, cannot wait until the one in Temecula opens.“

“Went in for dinner. Lots of tvs everywhere even at the booths. A fun place to hang out with drinks.

The staff was nice and having fun.

Tried out the pickle fries. It was tasty but, the quantity wasn't there.

The entree's was delicious. The Chili is alright if I wasn't full.“

“Please, please, please get the French toast here! The French toast is some of the best French toast I've ever had. BUT my friend had the Christmas enchiladas and we didn't like it at all. I think that that might just be a palate thing so I don't want to talk too much about that. Excellent service also. The lady at the front desk and the waitresses were so so kind and so patient. Wilma and Frieda's is an excellent choice for brunch at Palm Springs. Also, maybe because I was a tourist, it was a bit tricky for me to locate exactly where it was but overall it was a great experience. I'll give a my visit here a very strong 4.5/5.
Please note that this review is from my visit in late September 2024.“

“Very nice service. Super yummy food. We had a great night out.“

“Great service should be tops on their list of reasons to come here. Tracy is the best!“

“This is a great place to relax and watch your favorite sports on the big screens while having a drink and a snack or a meal.
They require $30 minimum spending for every person at the table, though.
You will not be allowed to sit inside the sports bar area without buying food or drinks.
The food was decent, and prices were fair.
It’s a little noisy sometimes because the bar is open in the middle of the casino.

Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options on the menu“

“Good food with good drink options and great area to hang out and mingle with friends and love ones. 10/10“
