19 Best Bars near Indian Wells

“This was my first time at Diego’s. I have tried many Mexican restaurants in the 8 years I have lived in Palm Desert and I truly must say the food was excellent, the service from Javier at the bar was welcoming and friendly and the environment was awesome so far as not crazy loud but a nice hum of other guests. I will be back for sure. ❤️“

“Great food, Great music and so much fun!“

“10 out of 10. For real. Lola was our server and she was fantastic. Both my husband and I had the 8oz filet with the garlic green beans and red mashed potatoes. And the espresso martinis we so yummy! Just wow! Thank you so much for the amazing experience! We will definitely be back and tell all of our SoCal friends, too!“

“Eight Desert Divas dined at Sí Bon Restaurant in Rancho Mirage on Thursday. We were celebrating one of our own lovely Diva's birthday. We made reservations ahead of time (thankfully) because they were VERY busy. It is a popular place. The service was excellent. The menu was great. They offer a summer menu which includes a three course dinner for $32. They also have a happy hour menu. I ordered the meat loaf dinner and it was delicious and plentiful. Others selected steak with fries, tacos, mussels, and a few other items. There were no complaints at all. They even brought out a birthday chocolate mousse with a candle and 8 individual spoons to honor our birthday girl. Our server was wonderful and he gave us separate checks (which we always appreciate). It was definitely a special night and we highly recommend Sí Bon. Be sure to make reservations ahead of time. You won't be disappointed.“

“friendly and welcoming staff“

“Food is Good. Any chance you could replace The American Flag out front. It's ragged ripped abd torn. Thank You“

“This place is my all time favorite restaurant to eat in the Coachella Valley. Buzz always has the best recommendations for beer, the cocktails are fantastic, and the food is always fresh and tasty. We lived in Palm Desert for about 11 years and every time we’re back in town we make sure to come by here to grab a drink and some snacks. We love getting to see Buzz, he makes it the best place to eat!“

“We come to the Westin every year for Memorial Day Weekend and have had the pleasure of having Trey + Angel as our bartenders every single year that we go. They are the absolute BEST and we are always so happy to see their friendly faces when we are there. Keep it up guys! Thanks for always giving us top notch service!“

“The environment is AWESOME! Not to mention the music is 🔥🙌DJ LF GETS IT 🔥“

“Sitting at the bar was so perfect! We had apps and cocktails. Double date and the service was great. Took recommendations from the bartenders and everything was perfectly paired. The atmosphere is insane if you love desert modern. A lot of Lucille Ball memorabilia. And the design of everything was very inviting. We got there to closing time. And we didn’t feel rushed nor did we stay very late.“

“Come for the casino, stay for some drinks. With over 50 types of agave-based spirits, Agave Caliente Tequila Bar is the perfect destination for tequila and mezcal fans. Their hand-crafted cocktails are paired with a tapas-style menu…our favorite were the short rib tacos.“

“Concise Review Great poolside food, drinks, & staff ----- Longer Review We have visited Marriott’s Shadow Ridge in Palm Desert since 2002, and afternoons at the pool, with food and drinks from Chuckwalla Bar & Grill, are a bit part of every trip. One of my all time favorite photos is from a nice afternoon, poolside, several years ago when the kids were little... it was one of our most fun and peaceful afternoons as a family anywhere... the photos is of our daughter, asleep on my wonderful wife, my wonderful wife smiling at me, and our son was on the chair in between us, smiling as he was drinking a strawberry smoothie from Chuckwalla’s... such a blessing. We visited Southern California - Palm Desert, Yucaipa, and Malibu - for Spring Break 2021. This trip we had more activities off-property than usual, so we only got one nice long afternoon at the pool, and RebekahM made it a little extra special. The sun, the water, fun in the pool... and smoothies... such a joy. Before I had a chance to think about it, smoothies were en route from Chuckwalla... strawberry, banana, and alcohol-free pina colada. Rebekah delivered them to us with a big smile and infectiously positive attitude. Rebekah turned the fun up a notch with her dancing and smiling and laughing as she took our orders and delivered to the families around the pool... everyone was extra happy when she was around. Thank you, Rebekah and Chuckwalla, for another memorable trip! ----- ----- -----“

Stopped in for drinks and sushi while at the Marriott. Our serving staff and support were Gerardo, another Veronica, David, Ricky and Jennifer all amazing individuals. We have known Gerardo for years and he a terrific individual. The ambiance was upbeat and positive and the sushi quite good.
I often state that people and relationship far exceed the location or event and here at JW you get the best of both worlds. The music duo was good and the food, service and staff were simply amazing. Highly recommended.

What an amazing place to chill, enjoy a few drinks, grab some fresh sushi and listen to live music. Ricky was our server on Saturday night and was very efficient, professional and kind. We have been going to this spot for about 8 years and just thoroughly enjoy the vibe and ambiance. We started with Don Julio Blanco, club soda, 3 limes muddled and mint and then ordered the crunchy roll and jw roll. I also had a ceasar salad. The two entertainers were fantastic and played a wide range of rock and roll and country hits. The customer service and overall experience were simply therapeutic. Highly recommended.“

“Mira Bar serves up “Polanco “ Restaurant bites all day !

Located in the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Golf Resort Palm Springs.

We opted for some fresh lighter bites .
Surprisingly vegan friendly & easily modified menu items . I ordered the watermelon salad omit the mozzarella.
Delicious ! I’m an iced tea junkie and the tea here was refreshing .

What stood out here was the service ——- the staff was on it and we had plenty of smiles checking in on us .

Just a warning ..The place stays busy nearly 7days a week .“

“Great place all around! The food is AWESOME and the atmosphere is top notch. A must if you're in the area!“

“We were here in Palm Desert for a competition and one of our parents recommended we try this spot. Great margaritas and absolutely the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. I don't remember the name of the dishes we tried but the pin wheel shrimp and the pork Fajitas are just incredible. If you're in Palm Desert you have to try Guillmores!!! Definitely worth the trip“

“We lived here for 9 years,last night was our first time at Neil's dive bar
You can call it what you like
But we have to say if you are close to Indio you should stop in. It is very loud not a exactly a conversation place.“
