After a long (hot) day on the road, Pete's Hideaway was medicine: a cool, dark bar for grownups in need of a straightforward cocktail or bottle of beer. We had a great conversation with the bartender (whose advice proved impeccable as we continued north the next day), a delicious meal that tasted like home cooked in all the best ways, and a total tab that made us feel like we'd stepped back at least a few years in time. Five stars all around.

Pete’s is like drinking in your living room with friends. It’s a REAL neighborhood bar on steroids. You’ll meet so many great people, the drinks are amazing and damn.. the spaghetti is so good (homemade sauce). Go here for the great food, new friends, cocktails, live music… you’ll be happy.Parking: Plenty of free parking

Service was good, maybe we hit it at the wrong time but definitely felt that this is a locals place, not so much if you are from out of town.

Local spot to just chill and relax. Just remember the kitchen closes before the bar, so be there before 7pm if you want some food for sure (the waitress said the kitchen closes at various times). Very intimate and friendly vibes, live music when I went was excellent. You can drink, eat, dance, chitchat, hangout, all in your tshirt and shorts. Pete is so cool ????

Solo at the bar a couple times over the years. A long term PS establishment well kept secret among locals, somewhat off the beaten path but not too far south of the main action. Lots of Hollywood 20th Century memorabilia photos decorate the walls behind the bar and throughout. Last visit I had a grilled chicken Caesar salad & tonic water for under $20. I have had their fish and chips too.Live entertainment some nights. Always visited too early to catch the entertainment.

Me and my girlfriend down for the weekend house hunting here and around palm springs just happened to drive by and saw Pete's so we pull in and my girlfriend run in while I wanted in the care with our dog and she came back out all smiles and said come on in and meet Pete so I did Pete was great he let us eat on the patio because of our dog and the waitress ask if our dog needed any water and did she like bacon and when she brought our food made sure our dog got a couple slices of bacon and bowl of water naver had such great service in our life plus really good food at nice prices we highly recommend Pete's, can't get better food or service anywhere for the price!!!!!!!
Over priced and slow service.Was charged $25 plus tax for a rib lunch special that was a 1/4 Rack with a small portion of mashed potatoes and half a piece of toast.Crazy !!!Was really taken advantage of.Had been there a few times in the past.Definitely will not be back and will not recommend to my friends.There are much better choices

For our last day/night on a trip to Palm Springs, we (four 60ish women) chose to enjoy a 5:30 PM Drag Queen show at Pete’s Hideaway. The show was really really fun, and the whole crowd loved every minute. It is not fancy (at all), but rather a small, well-worn, intimate spot that recalls clubs of yore: low ceilings, tight quarters, tacky but cool wallpaper, funky celebrity posters, and an amazingly friendly staff. Picture a neighborhood bar from the 1950s or 1960s and you’ll get the vibe. We absolutely adored the show and the fact that it was at Pete’s Hideaway just added to the charm of it all. What a FAB place!!!

Pete's is our Go-To place in Palm Springs for a quick meal, quick drink, great talk and a friendly vibe. The Kitchen is great. The Bartenders are the best. the Owner's care and make you know it. This is how it should be done. It's a tough business to be in just now. They've hung tough and will make it. They should. They've earned it. They have our respect and love. This is our home town place.

A warm and welcoming environment, the food was delicious! I highly recommend Wendy's meat loaf sandwich?! Wendy spent time talking with us and gave us a big hug when we left. Outstanding business!

There's a whiff of stale when you enter the premises..so I chose the table closest to the door.Menu thrown my way..so were the utensils when the dinner salad was served.Bartender who took care of me was nice, offered a refill.My pasta was delicious. Usually Alfredo sauce is basically cream with some cheese added..no flavor.Plenty of flavor in their version.
