20 Best Bars in Palm Desert

“Watched the Budweiser Clydesdale horses and had a fabulous lunch.“

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

“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!“

“My husband and I love sushi. The Venue is a beautifully designed, moody restaurant on the El Paseo shopping strip. We have been to Venue numerous times, but last night was our favourite. From the moment we were greeted at the door, to our server being attentive and charming, we agree our meal was the best sushi we have ever had. Well done.“

“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! ----- ----- -----“

“Had a fantastic time at Libations Room in Palm Desert! Met up with a couple of friends on a Saturday night around 10:30, and the vibe was just right. We grabbed some drinks and headed to the back lounge, where the atmosphere was lively, the music was on point, and the energy was great. Perfect spot for a fun night out—will definitely be back!“

“We got the buffalo wings and French fries! They were delicious! I highly recommend them and would order them again! It’s a nice area to enjoy the game and appetizer food. It gets kinda loud and crowded but we were able to enjoy their meal. Sadly they only have Pepsi products here.“

“Great food, nice presentation, attentive service, we’ll be back.“

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

“My husband and I love Guillermo 's . Family run business that knows how to make the customer feel special. We bring everyone we know here! The food is fantastic and high quality! It's an upscale Mexican restaurant , we love the ribeye tacos and the 2 different pork dishes offered, the margaritas are out of this world!! We go at least 2x a month when staying out in Palm Desert. A special thank you to Guillermo who stops and chats with the patrons and to Melissa who serves us and treats us as friends. The whole staff is wonderful and hard working !“

“Incredible food and wonderful service“

“Great food and service. Wine overpriced.“

Parking: Stuff pizza is at the mall?So there's plenty of park

Kid-friendliness: We've taken my granddaughter there. I've seen other people take their kids there, so definitely friendly“

“Great food & fun atmosphere! Staff is friendly & they make the very best Margaritas!“

“Had a fantastic experience at the Hideout yesterday. We couldn’t get a table at another restaurant for an hour so while we were waiting we walked around and saw a guitarist setting up at that Hideaway. They let us know that they opened at 11:00, but the waiter arranged for us to sit in the patio and got us drinks while we waited for a few minutes. The food was very good, my burger was the best burger I have ever had and it came out as ordered (no bun/no cheese). I chose a drink off the menu (Strawberry Mule) and ordered it as a mocktail, refreshing and delicious. The service was delightful and the music lovely. Definitely going back.“

“Atmosphere, servers and food were great! The setting was somewhat cramped, but overall this is a good place to grab a bite and and a drink while relaxing at a table or at the bar and watching sports. When I came in with my party, the bartender, Jeremiah, promptly gave us the option of moving to the bar after a group that included children came in and sat down right next to us.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome.“

“The food was excellent, and our server worked very hard at making a memorable experience for us. There is no doubt that the music was a bit on the loud side and therefore resulted in it being very difficult to talk at the table. I would certainly recommend sitting out on the patio on nights. They have music“

“My boyfriend (a competitive pool player) and I are in town visiting and needed a place to practice. This place has 3 nice pool tables and everyone is super nice. We talked to the owner for a bit and he is such a nice, down to earth guy. Some of these reviews state otherwise but from my experience those people just need something to complain about. Great atmosphere and people. Will be coming here everytime we visit.“

“We were immediately captivated by the aesthetics of the restaurant, which embraced a charming Japanese style. The diverse selection of sushi options was particularly appealing, offering a unique fusion of Mexican and Japanese flavors. However, while we were excited to try the miso soup, it was somewhat of a letdown; it was overloaded with green onions, which masked the traditional flavors, and the broth turned out to be saltier than we expected. On the positive side, the sushi itself was excellent, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Unfortunately, our dining experience was somewhat spoiled by the presence of fruit flies that flew around the table. On a brighter note, the service was impeccable. The servers were attentive and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout our meal.“
