Good music, quick service drinks and great bartenders. The Gogo's are fun too!…read more It does get a rowdy "straight" crowd at times and lots of bachelorette groups. Doesn't really feel like a "gay bar" much anymore. Used to come here a lot when we would visit PS. Had a lot of fun dancing. Lately, it feels like it has changed a bit with the folks coming in and the unfriendly patrons. So probably not coming back for awhile.

First visit to this "dance bar" which is in the heart of the gay area (Arenas Rd.) in downtown Palm…read moreSprings. We stopped in during Christmas week, and it was packed. Seemed to be more of a mixed age crowd than some other places on the street. Upon arrival, we walked the premises checking out the large front bar, and then into the back area which had the dance floor and a smaller bar. The three of us opted for a table out on the patio which provided the inside music as a background, so having a conversation was possible. The drinks were good and a little more reasonably priced than at our first stop. They had male go-go dancers around the main bar area, providing a little extra visual stimulation over all of the regular customers dancing in the back. All-male bar and wait staff the night of our visit. Overall, I enjoyed myself more than at our first stop, Hunters, which was across the street. I would definitely come back here again.

Certain nights like Thursday, come early as it does get busy. This is my second time coming on a…read more Thursday which we know to come earlier. The first visit, there was a line to get in and from there, a massive line trying to get a drink at the bar. So come early to avoid that. We just wanted to lounge for a bit and grab a drink after dinner. Showed up just after 8:30 which is still early but very easy when we arrived. There was already a good amount of people inside when we walked in. The nice thing, you're able to walk up to the bar and grab a drink pretty fast. It's cash only so be prepared. Inside isn't that big, where the dj booth is. I don't even think it's a dance floor but it could potentially be. They have two bars on either side. But the patio area is where the party happens. It's massive with a good amount of hi top tables with chairs. Also nice to have the fans and mister going in with the heat that's starting to greet us in the desert. Within us arriving, half an hour or so, the place was pretty busy. The line did start to form at the bar which we now are aware. They have different event held different nights during the week. Some are busier than others. I've been with friends where give or take there was a dozen or so of people. Different night have different crowds depending on the events. Of all the times I've been, it's alway been fun. They should have a bar on the patio which will make a huge difference.

The vibe is super laid-back but still has that classic Palm Springs energy where everyone just seems genuinely happy to be there. It's one of those places where you can show up not knowing what to expect and somehow end up staying way longer than planned. The crowd felt really welcoming, not cliquey at all, which I always appreciate because it makes it easy to relax and actually enjoy yourself. What stood out to me most was how unpretentious everything felt. The bartenders were friendly and quick without making you feel rushed, and the drinks were solid and reasonably priced for the area. There's a nice mix of people, from locals who clearly love the place to visitors just passing through, and it all blends together in a way that feels effortless. The music hit that perfect balance where it keeps the energy up without being overwhelming, so you can still talk and laugh without yelling over it. Overall, this is definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for something a little more low-key but still fun and memorable. It has personality, it doesn't try too hard, and it delivers exactly what you want out of a Palm Springs night. I'd absolutely come back next time I'm in town and honestly wish I had discovered it sooner.

I stopped by Sunday which karaoke was happening. It's one of the fun spot that I love along the…read morestrip of bars. Not your typical club but more of a lounge with fun show tunes and music videos. Depending on what night you visit, it does get busy. Drinks are cheap and reasonable. The vibe tends to be more of the mellow crowds, older but fun. Everyone there is for the same things, the show tunes. Also depending on the nights, there's different things going on. I know one night they show musicals which I've never been. I've been normally during the weekend as a start before hitting the other bars. It's always a fun spot to start the night. Everyone is there for fun and singing. A nice patio that looks out to the strip so it's good for people watching. The bar isn't that big so trying to get a drink can be a little of a hassle as they tend to only have two bartenders working. Seemed like that each time I've been. The line situation is also a cluster issue as people are just standing wherever and then trying to work their way in. You'll get a drink but it maybe a while if the place is packed. Regardless it's a fun spot to start the night or end the night. There's no dance floor as it's mainly hi top tables.

I've lived in Palm Springs for 15 years, and at some point you're going to end up in a gay bar…read more It's part of the culture here. They're everywhere, and they're a big reason the city feels as fun and open as it does. Quadz, right off Arenas Road, is one of those places that clearly has its crowd. One of my closest friends is gay and proudly so, and he brings me here often. I can see why. It's easy, relaxed, and doesn't try too hard. This is not a dance club. It's more of a starting point for the night. You come here first, have a few drinks, settle into the vibe, and then decide where to go next. The drinks are affordable, which never hurts, and people are actually social instead of just staring at their phones. They do karaoke, and it's a mix of everything. Some nights it's locals getting up there, other nights there are hired performers singing throwback 80s songs. In the background, old MTV-style music videos are always playing, which gives the whole place a nostalgic, slightly chaotic charm. I had to laugh when I saw my Yelp bestie, Alex K. from Los Angeles, has written six reviews for Quadz. That alone tells you something. For a lot of people, this is the spot. After spending time here, I get it. It's not about being flashy. It's about being consistent, welcoming, and just plain fun.

The Roost! Live and…read morevivacious in every sense is a Cathedral City must located next to the Mary Pickford Theater with a lot of other great favs. This very welcoming of any and all gay bar on Palm Canyon Drive has a bustling patio, inside, great music, tons of seating (though it goes quick), and a lot to offer. From happy hour specials to actual food by partnering up with Capizzi's Cheesecake-Pizza and then some as well as Trilussa Ristorante, both nextdoor. Join folks at the Roost for Karaoke Nights, Live Performances, Drag, Bingo, Club themed nights #RoostAfterDark and more. Plenty of parking if you go early in front, but it can go quick on weekends, especially weekends with events like we often seem to attend. You'll find something, however a rideshare and carpooling absolutely help with this. There is a parking garage that a lot of us seem to forget about because it isn't as conveniently located as all those spots directly next to the Roost. Free Wi-Fi. Good lighting, even at night. Tall tables only, some chairs with back support. Cool neon signs and art. Nice large TVs. Not always a place we gravitate to as much, but hoping to change that over time. Some of the best drinks in Coachella Valley!

It's turning out to be a place that we can just pop in for a cold one. The crowds are always nice…read moreand welcoming. Stopped by just after it open which was around 3 but noticed there was a good amount of guest already inside. Spoke with the bartender which he mentioned that they do open a little early hence people already there. It's alway nice to stop by as you know that it'll be nice and welcoming. The locals have their spots throughout the valley and this is one of them. Another place where everyone seems to know each other. Of course happy hours offer some deals on cocktails, beer and spirits. I'm not sure if it changes or it's a regular but it's great. The place itself is pretty massive inside with loads of tables. When we arrived everyone was gathered at the bar counter but gradually the tables were being utilized. I believe each night had a different event going on so it can get pretty busy. Drinks are good and well priced. All the staffs are very sweet and friendly. A nice place for a drink and lounging.

I've heard so much about this place for drag night. Seems to be the happening night. We stopped by…read moreagain for a drink as it was still happy hour. You can't beat a place that offered happy hour from 2-7. The last time we stopped by was a Thursday and it was pretty packed when we left. This visit, a Monday which wasn't too busy when we arrived. More of a mellow crowd. We left just before the main event which I believe was a piano player. Depending on what night you come, they have different themes with shows. I believe with drag night, it's highly recommended to reserve a table or seats as it gets pretty packed and wild. Not only that, you can check the website for the calendar of events. The drinks specials are always nice. For the Bloody Mary, 7.50 for happy hour. Cant beat that and they also offer free pretzels to munch on. All the bartenders are sweet and friendly. Both times we've been, you could tell that it's mainly frequently visited by their regulars. Everyone seems to know each other whenever someone walks in. A nice fun little neighborhood bar. Great for drinks and lounging both indoor and on the patio. The crowd is a little more mature when we arrived but I'm sure during whatever event is happening, it's a mix bunch. Plenty of parking.
