50 Best Bars near North Palm Springs

“DELICIOUS! Don't just drive by this place. Stop in for delicious food. Breakfast is excellent! We can't wait to try some of their lunch and dinner options. Owners are really nice and are trying hard to serve you the best. Don't drive by! You won't regret it!“

“We were traveling and this was first time at a Tommy Bahamas (honestly didn’t know they existed except for their clothing line)… we were pleasantly surprised and reminded us a lot of a Kona Grill but better tasting and less expensive!… even sought out the manager to tell him so… service was also on par… we do highly recommend it…“

“There is good food, there is great food, and once in a great while you hit that place that not only has great food, but amazing service, owner and staff. Those moments really hit, and this was one of those moments. Hint, they open at 4, get in line at least by 3:30.“

“Although Michelin rated and very difficult to reserve, this restaurant has a laid-back casual vibe, a reasonably priced menu, and our server was so friendly and fun, doing a birthday shot with our celebrant and shared stories about celebrities who have eaten in the restaurant. I had the steak frites which was immaculately prepared, and their famous rolls lived up to their reputation.“

“Great lil cafe in front of Farm that served a limited menu of the brunch hits indoors and outdoors. Service was lovely! Everything came out quick and we were checked on regularly. The food was fresh and vibrant and played well with reasonable portions. The coffee was fabulous!! Seating is first come, first served (no rezzies) but you’ll need to check in w a server before getting seated.“

“I’ve been to this place before the remodel
And now I visited after and was so impressed

Get the bombas and shrimp gamb
I also heard the empanadas take 2 days to make so get those too

All in all a very positive and yummy experience and would highly recommend this spot for tapas, cocktails and shared plates“

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

“great dbl cheeseburger and fries. unlike other places they leave you alone while you're eating. unless of course they see you putting ketchup on your burger ( right cory!) been a resident of the desert for 48 years, never been to George's before yesterday. I will be back.“

“I've been to V lounge only a few times but it has always been one of the best experiences all around. Their food is delicious and they have a good amount of items in their menu, and their drinks have a good amount of alcohol and the right price. The environment is always happy and friendly, the bartenders are very nice, kareoke nights are a blast, and the owner James is always there working as hard as every one else and making sure you are having a great time... plus he is soo good in the eyes 😊. Highly recommended.“

“This place is awesome!!! So much fun!“

“Drinks are on point the views are on point. The food is good but not a lot of options“

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“An upstairs bar & nightclub with a rapp around balcony that allows you to smoke while you're enjoying the night sky. They got a great friendly staff, and they also have one of the best Dj's in the valley mixing up on sunday nights for Latin night.“

“Big thank you to our valet Ryan and front desk Darren. Both were very friendly and accommodating. We also loved Robert and Tony at the bar…we were not in the mood for any more alcohol and they made us a lovely mock-tail. Thank you! Can’t wait to come back!“

“Bartender Billy is amazing. If you tell him what you like, he will create a masterpiece. He's very entertaining as he flips this and spins that. I'm not sure what type of establishment this is, but I was with a group, and it was fun.“

“Owners are amazing, staff always present and wonderful atmosphere. Best Neighborhood Barcaround.“

“A wonderful wonderful evening - Chris helped us make a reservation that could work for our party and Ethan, our server was so amazing with his recommendations, delicious cocktails and his lovely demeanour. We had the best time at this beautiful spot.“

“All residents of the Morongo Basin know that our home doesn't have much of a bar scene, which is fine for the granola munching rock climbers, ganja purists, and christian conservatives that prolly make up 90% of the population, but for those of us who love downing beer and belting along with the jukebox, making new best friends whose names you won't remember, or need a place to kill time before returning home up or down the hill, then the Monument Bar might be your home-away-from-groan! I'm always surprised that none of my acquaintances have heard of it, but then again, it IS the kind of place you'd miss even if you were looking for it. if you're headed there from Yucca, when you get to Cactus Mart, keep looking left and DON'T BLINK. When I lived in Morongo Valley I would try to go in at least once a week, because if I've learned one thing in 47 years of gypsy wandering it's that there's nothing like a good locals bar. It's a melting pot to be sure, the place could be full of scary bikers one day, and full of pronoun-defying LGBT's the next, but this, of course, is exactly what makes the place so great, and if you've been going there long enough, you can always take refuge with the regulars.

I could write the next Great American Novel describing the place if I hunch over my keyboard long enough, but I'll try to wrap this up with some "things done right" bullet points:
- daily drink specials
- taco Tuesday, and usually some kind of special on Hallmark Holidays
- outdoor patios (equipped w/ fire pit in the winter)
- a bewildering number of menu items for such a small place, if you're the indecisive type, just get the signature monument burger...and the food is also bewilderingly good for pub fare, and if judged in that context, bump my 3-star rating up to 4.5
- Chad is a great bartender. Treat him well, and he'll return the compliment.

That should do it. I should've made a review years ago, and a recent visit reminded me how remiss I've been, even under new ownership, it was exactly liked i'd hoped it would be...as if a month had gone by and not a year. I <3 this bar!

Vegetarian options: not many, but theres salad, fries, pizza options

Parking: limited paved spaces out front, large dirt lot in back“

“Stopped in with some friends for lunch on a Friday and was warmly greeted by the hostess upon walking in. We were sat right away and had drinks on the table in no time! Clyde was bartending and was so attentive and made sure everything we had was just right. The burger I had was great and the medallions fries were a better than I was expecting! Will definitely come back for the attentive and friendly service and good food!“

“The overall experience was fun and exciting. We loved the drag show and it's cause. Food was delicious but slightly over priced. Trish the waiter could of had a bit of a better attitude she seemed moody and didn't give the best of service. We drove from far and would of expected a better service.“

“We came as a group of 12 and had a great experience. Josiah, our server, was so attentive and did an amazing job ?. The food was great, I had the Quesadilla and the rire roasted salsa was delicious. And the atmosphere was easy, breezy and as expected from a hotel called Margarita Ville! We will be back and hopefully get Josiah again.“

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

“They have a very large selection of spirits. A nice selection of beers on tap but really great service.
I didn’t wait more than a minute for someone to come say “hi”, Carlos was the first to help me. Andre was the next to help. Both were super nice and made my day.
Carlos has been bartending for 17 years and it shows. He has great suggestions on the food menu, and made a perfect cocktail exactly the way it should be.
I’m really excited to stop by on my next stay here. Made my night.“

“Beautiful bar, nice view, Pool is nice too“

“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.“

“Beautiful view! Amazing cuisine“

“Outstanding food Outstanding Service.“

“Such an iconic piece of Palm Springs history, and the service and show were terrific--our first time here, but we will be back!

Taking off a star as we have gone back since, but food is just not as quality as the shows or the service.“

“People from every walk come here. Locals, snow birds, vacationers, and once in a while your Hollywood type…if you care about “star gazing.” Pretty bartenders and strong drinks make a nice combo.🙏🏻“

“Great service, great food, our bartender Ilda was amazing! highly recommend“

“in the heart of palm springs. Nice Patio and restaurant. Very good food. Nice and friendly server. very friendly owner.“

“My favorite watering hole downtown. Friendly vibes, unbeatable prices, awesome video jukebox, cute bartenders, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend as a place to stop in and get a couple beers and 2$ jello shots while bar hopping in Palm Springs.“

“Friendly and Welcoming small town atmosphere bar and grill. Great service, food and drinks. Due to both the bartenders who also take your order and serve you. And, their great cook!“

“Came here for the first time and didn’t know what to expect. Walking in, there is bar seating to the right and dining tables on the left. The whole place has a dive bar vibe, but in an awesome way. My husband ordered the everything burger and I ordered the brisket cheese burger. we both absolutely loved our burgers as they were cooked to perfection. Also, the condiments were fresh and tasty. We also ordered a couple beers on tap. The marshmallow stout was delicious. I can’t wait to come back here again for more!! For people considering bringing in the whole family: I would say it is not a rowdy bar but it is more oriented towards adults.

Kid-friendliness: It depends how mature your kids are.“

“While there are a variety of one off karaoke nights in Palm Springs, this is the only true karaoke bar in town and it's a good one. Despite rolling up at 11pm on a packed Friday night, I still managed to get a song in. The KJ was kind and gracious and frankly has to put up with a lot, as it's a bedlam on a weekend in there - and I mean that in a good way. It's slammed. I liked the vibe and venue and I'm glad it's there. Fun and recommended.“

“Mostly, we sit at the bar and enjoy their pizza, unless we're with a group of friends (which they'll happily accommodate). The food is great, the staff is lovely and the garden setting is a delight.

Vegetarian options: Lots of pasta and pizza options without meat!“

“Absolutely delicious! We went to Bongo Johnny’s for the first time, and we will definitely be going back! The staff was extremely friendly, and the food was so tasty! It is funny but the atmosphere seems very casual, but the food is something you would expect from a fine dining experience. Thankfully the prices were pretty reasonable! And to top it all off, the music was the best! When we were there they were playing 80s music and we just loved it! Bongo Johnny’s is a must if you haven’t been there yet. You won’t be disappointed! 😋😋😋“

“great music and great food and stuff was really friendly and helpful five stars“

“Had a great experience. Service and food were very good and the entertainment was terrific - Back Beats was the duo. Great music!“

“Live entertainment. Fun night thus far! 😉“

“It is a nice place for eating early in a quiet setting. They open at 3:00. We are finished before the entertainment and crowd arrives .“

“Great food, great employees Great with the kids“

“We eat here frequently. We love it.“

“The sandwiches are way delicious the French fries are fresh and hot“

“Randy was truly outstanding! I couldn’t have felt safer in this environment. This American Legion Post felt like a home away from home. Thank you for the hospitality and friendship. My yorkie and I hope to cross paths with you and your staff again soon.“

“Great drinks, great food, fun place!“

“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.
