50 Best Bars near Thousand Palms

“I chanced on this place from a person I met at a bar downtown DHS. Looks kinda trashy from the outside but don't judge this book by its cover. The best Karaoke experience I've ever had and I do it a lot. A real stage, stage lighting, smoke machines and friggin A, an actual guitar player who looks like Mick Mars playing along if he knows the song and he seemed to know them all! I sang Black Keys, Deep Purple and The Who so right up his alley. Redd was impressed enough that he bought me a shot after I sang The Seeker, never had a DJ buy me a drink! Both the bartenders were super nice and drinks were really inexpensive so this place freaking rocks. Great crowd too, lots of really friendly locals. And also get this, the place has several pool tables, the longest shuffleboard I've ever seen and dog friendly too!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I can definitely tell how cool this place is, but go ahead and drop by to see it for yourself!
It's a great time every time- your bartenders make you feel like family, drinks are fabulous fun, and delicious!! When they have the setup area for some grub, it ALWAYS smacks!♡♡
Thank you Barts for being the best!!!!“

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

“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!“

“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! ----- ----- -----“

“The summer time 3 course $36 menu provides enough choice for everyone and is delicious! Our party of 4 relished every bite. And even in the heat, we were able to dine on the patio with fans providing cooling air. Thanks Si Bon for being a great neighborhood dining spot!“

“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!“

“The sushi is great. We throughly enjoyed our food . The portion size were small compared to other sushi place but flavor is there. Went for valentines and they had special menu. But the items from their regular menu were great . We made reservation and still had to wait for little bit but given that it was valentine I did not care much. I wish they had more seats or space in waiting area since space is kinda cramped. I will definitely go there for food though“

“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.“

“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!“

“The Red Barn is THE place to grab a cocktail with clients, friends or anybody. The Barn is chic and sophisticated with great spots to take photos, enjoy the live music or people watch. The drink list is extensive and thoughtful. We haven't had a concoction we did not enjoy, Troy especially enjoys the Marcie's Magic with his favorite mezcal.“

“Come for the casino, stay for some drinks. With over 50 types of agave-based spirits, Agave Caliente Tequila Bar is the perfect destination for tequila and mezcal fans. Their hand-crafted cocktails are paired with a tapas-style menu…our favorite were the short rib tacos.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Always enjoy everything about Guillermo's. The food, ambience and visiting with Guillermo himself. As regulars there, we truly appreciate the warm welcome when we arrive. Highly recommended Guillermo's as one of the best restaurants in the valley.“

“Good Food, Great Service, Lots of Dishes to Pick From.“

“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...“

“I usually go to the Palm Desert location, which I love, but decided to try the La Quinta location. It was awesome and the atmosphere was a little more cozy. I love their Napa Valley pizza and the green beans for an appy are always a good choice.

We have to give credit to Rick (who works there) that we unexpectedly met at a local grocery store the night before, who encouraged us to try the La Quinta location! ?“

“Just attended their annual October Halloween Roundup Rally! Camping area is nice, but not extravagant, mostly power and water sites with a dump station on your way out! But their people are awesome and fun! We had corn hole, and shuffleboard tournaments, Bunko and cribbage games! Feed us every night with great food, open no host bar and the best French fries you will ever eat! Love this facility and the people, will definitely go back next year!“

“Went to a 5pm fundraiser. Clearly they let an entire restaurant in early. There was not one seat available at 5. It was already maxed out with people wolfing down appetizers and wine with not one seat open. Not Cool. Clearly the good Ole boys got the we will let you in early memo. Too much competition around El Paseo to ever go back.“

“I went to a lunch here with my work crew. There were around 15 of us and the service was excellent. The server did not mess anything up and everything came out pretty quickly. I got the shrimp tacos which were great. It seems like the menu is pretty focused on seafood and they had a pretty extensive selection of drinks.“

“We eat here frequently. We love it.“

“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.“

“This place was absolutely great. Steve our server was super friendly and the food was spot on. Will definitely come back again.“

“My family and I had dinner there on Saturday night the food was great the prices were reasonable and our waitress Michelle was above and beyond a great waitress“

“Wonderful ambience and service- and fresh, fresh, fresh sushi!! Erin and staff were excellent! Can’t wait to go back- highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“We had an excellent experience. We played bridge in The Masters Lounge prior to our dinner. We were thrilled a sever came into the lounge to get drinks for us and our dinner order ready for us. It was perfectly timed as we finished our game we went directly into the dining room and our dinners had just been place on the table! It was perfectly timed. The food was delicious!“

“Have the Jalapeño Margarita….in fact have 2 or 3. They are great.“

“Great service, awesome atmosphere the food was the best I’ve had in years . I had the shrimp chili relleno . The Margaritas were the best part of our adventure . Didn’t know they had a Regular, Medium and a Large size !!!!! We went medium …… omg glad I’m on vacation . lol“

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

“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.“

“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.“
