43 Best Bars in Palm Springs

“I had the most wonderful birthday dinner at Bar Cecil! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely perfect. My sister and I loved every dish we tried, and our server, Jonathan, was so friendly and attentive—we adored him. The pacing of the meal was spot on—we were able to savor each course without ever feeling rushed yet never waiting too long. Every detail at Bar Cecil is beautifully considered, from the ambiance and décor (yes, even the bathrooms!) to the little touches that make it feel truly unique. Bar Cecil is a gem, and I can’t wait to come back. Thank you for making my birthday unforgettable!“

“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.“

“We brought our youngest son and his girlfriend. They loved it as much as my wife and I do. Enrique, our server, was excellent. We took his recommendation and started with the pan and bombas for 4. Supreme way to start. The good, drinks and ambiance were on fire.“

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

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

“Outstanding every-time we visit. Great Seafood, pasta, lobster bisque and much more. This is our favorite restaurant in Palm Springs and we recommend it as a definite not to be missed. Nothing fancy here, just great food and a comfortable welcoming environment. Enjoy!“

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

“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.“

“Beautiful view! Amazing cuisine“

“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…“

“Food was delicious. My friend said the avocado toast was the best she’s had. Seating is limited but we didn’t need to wait to be seated. It was a little confusing to know where to sit but it’s basically first come first serve. Staff was friendly and attentive.“

“V Wine Lounge & Martini Bar is such a gem!
The vibe is always fun and welcoming. The dates here are to die for, seriously a must try! I also loved the karaoke, it adds such a fun energy to the night. And the lychee martini? So good! Perfectly balanced and refreshing. Between the great drinks, delicious bites, and lively atmosphere, this place never disappoints. Definitely a go-to spot for a fun night out!“

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

“Lovely spot to unwind after work. The lighting is soft, and the playlist was a nice mix of chill indie and soul. I had a gin and tonic that was perfectly made — lots of fresh lime and just the right amount of tonic. The bartender was friendly and remembered my name by the second visit, which made me feel like a regular even though it was my first time. The bar snacks are surprisingly good too — highly recommend the truffle popcorn.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This was our third time at the Purple Room and first time catching the Judy Show. Feels like stepping back in time to the supper club era. We really enjoyed the show, but full disclosure it’s geared towards an older crowd. Michael Holmes, the creator and star of the show, is great. There’s audience engagement and lots of humor.

The cocktails are fantastic and keeping with the overall ambiance. Service staff is top notch. Our group of four felt that the food wasn’t quite up to par tho. Could be because it’s early season and the kitchen may be getting its stride. Portions are generous. We shared a carrot cake slice for dessert and polished it off!

We are lucky to live near the Purple room and look forward to visiting again to check out other entertainers. It’s a special venue that’s unique to Palm Springs.“

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

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“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!“

“Came in on a Wednesday afternoon. Trevor behind the bar was very welcoming. He talked to myself and my BF. He complimented me on my shirt. Told us about the area. The service was on point and you can't beat a beer with an amazing view price aside.“

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

“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.🙏🏻“

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

“Had a decent experience here. The drinks were good, but the place was a bit noisy for my taste. The crowd was young and lively, and the music was mostly electronic dance. If you're into clubbing, this might be your kind of spot. Service was friendly and efficient.“

“We went to Birba on an exceptionally hot night and sat at the bar. We stayed cool by the misters and had a wonderful evening. The Bartender Lugo was insightful, friendly, efficient and professional. Our food (melon/prosciutto salad and specialty pizza) was amazing and service was well timed. Although not hungry enough for dessert, the menu looked fantastic. I commend Birba for a lovely evening in a lovely al fresco setting. It was also wonderful to be slightly out of town - a little more peaceful than some of the down town settings.“

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

“Great drinks, great food, fun place!“

“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! 😋😋😋“

“Visited this bar on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The bartenders were friendly and took time to chat, recommending a few signature cocktails that were both creative and delicious. The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant, with exposed brick walls and soft lighting. I especially loved their selection of craft beers. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to!“

“Great food, great employees Great with the kids“

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

“Live entertainment. Fun night thus far! 😉“

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

“Amazing dinner of lobster ravioli and cioppino.“

“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.

“Janna is a darling! We are visiting from Victoria BC and came to the Post 519 in Palm Springs.
Janna made us feel welcome right from the get-go!
Very energetic and so polite. She makes you feel that you are a part of the Legion family. Janna is the reason we kept coming back during our stay! Thank you Janna for having us!“

“Dear Escena Management I am writing to formally request a refund for the golfing fees paid for my recent visit to Escena golf course on May 4th 2024. Upon booking, I was led to believe, based on the descriptions and images presented on your website, that your course offered premium facilities and conditions. Regrettably, my experience did not meet these expectations. The condition of both the fairways and greens was notably poor and not reflective of the high standard promoted online. Additionally, the level of noise from constant overhead airplane traffic significantly detracted from the experience, further compounded by an exceedingly slow pace of play throughout the day. I have also noticed a number of overly positive reviews on your website and various social media platforms, which seem inconsistent with my experience and potentially misleading to other customers. This disparity raises concerns regarding the authenticity of those reviews and suggests a possible deceptive practice that I believe warrants further investigation. Given these issues, I feel that the quality of the course and the overall experience did not justify the prepayment of $166 per person. Therefore, I kindly request a full refund of the fees paid. I believe this request is reasonable under the circumstances and aligns with fair trading practices. Please let me know how we can facilitate this refund. I am hopeful for a swift resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to your prompt response.“

“Very good lunch. We had the conn salad. Fresh“

“The long haired old man that is a weirdo and never stops talking... like he's on drugs! This man took my order, screwed up my order, brought it to be again, screwed it up again, he cussed and I could hear him throwing the plate in the kitchen and yell at the cook profanities. It was crazy! when he finally got my burger to the table 50 min later, I waited patiently 15 more min for the mayonnaise. at that paint, I raised my voice to get his attention because he was just goofing around with another customer... I asked for the mayonnaise and that man yelled at me, threw a fit, and was so disrespectful that I was in shock! Maybe they are prejudice there because with me being the only one person of color there seemed to be the problem because everyone else was being taken care of. I didn't enjoy my meal.“

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

“Hottest spot on the strip and the best Dj u ever heard in ur life on Saturday and Wednesday after dark.😜“
