27 Best Bars near La Quinta

“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.“

“Nachos with Steak with the beans under all the chips tasted really good... Campechana was just right... Piña a la parrilla was badas.. cooked good... Nothing was burned.. 1st time at Mariachi and definitely recommend...“

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.“

“First of all, the food and our waiter were excellent! We found the music to be a bit too loud, at times it was hard to hold a conversation. Our seating was the biggest problem. We were seated at a table right where the kitchen elbows. Most every waiter/waitress walked by with their big trays, most everyone who needed to be seated walked by. That table in this restaurant needs to be totally removed. I would go back - but only if I could be seated at a different table.“

“Great service and great food! Every salad on the menu is amazing“

“friendly and welcoming staff“

“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“

“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!“

“Incredible food and wonderful service“

“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!“

“Music, tacos right outside! Everyone was chill!“

Join Neil, Tom and Joe as Brad impersonates these legendary rock stars! Holly Holy Batman!!His band mates along with his sister Sue Lynn take you back in time!C U there!“

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.“

“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! ----- ----- -----“

“Just walked in, no plan other than checking it out (never been here despite living in the desert since 2007)! I’m sorry I missed out! Happy hour from 3-6 pm, had gin and tonic(awesome) my wife had lemon drop : solid is her rating. For snacks we ordered tuna stack (lots of tuna ) and Asiago Mac and cheese (ridiculously delicious), if these are typical for them I am definitely coming back again .“

“I’m a craft beer fanatic, so when you read my review please keep that in mind. Service was great, the pizza was really good, but there were no “real” craft beers. This is despite, claiming to have a brewery onsite. They do have three or four beers brewed there, but they were not that good. All of the others came from the big, mass produced breweries. Come for the food and atmosphere, but not for the beer.“

“muy deliciosa comida y un ambiente agradable !!!!!!“
