Who doesn't appreciate a rooftop bar overlooking the pool, mountains, and blue sky?! Even if you don't consume alcohol, High Bar offers food, mocktails, and soft drinks. I had a $7 Iced Tea, so the main downside is the price tag. However, given the view, it's worth a visit and I think the key is to come around sunset to embrace the full effect. The waiter was very cool and friendly making service another reason to check it out.
My favorite spot in Palm Springs. What's not to love about a rooftop bar? Overlooking the town, mountains and sunset. I'm so happy we stumbled upon this spot for a drink on my birthday, it truly was such a relaxing spot to enjoy the evening and snap some photos. The bartender was above and beyond nice and had plenty of great recommendations for dinner spots!
High Bar never fails me. Beautiful views, you can great photos from the bar with a fantastic cocktail and Palm Springs as your back drop. You can even spy Marilyn down below. Beautiful decor, and landscape, with umbrellas, awnings, outdoor ceiling fans and comfy bar seating as well as high chairs and tables with a gorgeous view! All the servers are super attentive and offer complimentary ice water. Occasionally they have a DJ which adds to having a great soundtrack and new memories!! The bar is full stocked with so many options! And lots of specialty cocktails, my favorite is their espresso martini! Do yourself a favor come here!!!
Love to be "high" on life...So, sitting at this rooftop bar located at the Rowan Hotel in Palm Springs on a sunny afternoon was fabulous! There is a pool a few feet away which looked very inviting...Instead I sipped on a refreshing Hugo Spritzer which was perfect in the desert heat. I shared some hot crunchy shoes string fries and chicken tenders while enjoying the view! They were tasty! *Plenty of tables, great view of the mountains, and lots of sunshine so make sure you put on your spf. Our server Fatema was very sweet and helpful. *No Happy Hour here
No food. Just drinks. Cool rooftop bar. Specialty drinks run $20 or so. Beer is &12. Staff friendly.
Love coming to this place! The service is always good and the vibes are amazing. Such a hidden gem I love that it is never busy when I come here. You can choose where you sit. The drinks are always top notch. Thank you high bar!
First time here. Great experience! Best views in Palm Springs. Excellent friendly service. They have a small bar food menu and the food was hot and tasty. They have happy hour during the week. Very extensive bar list. Be back soon!
Came on a Monday night. They had the game playing on the couple TVs they had. Nice menu with late night bites. Drinks were tasty. Felt like the peppers could have maybe cooked more or charred more. This is on the roof where the pool is at the kimpton rowan. There was barely anyone there. Good service. It was dark so couldn't see the nice views
High above downtown Palm Springs is truly a bar with a VIEW! Take an escalator to the roof of the Kimpton Rowan and discover a pool bar to remember. The menu is cute and to be honest i would never come for food, but this is the place to stop and have a drink. Best for reconnecting with friends in an elevated (pun intended) pool bar experience. I appreciate how kind and helpful all of the staff have been every time i have visited. It's not too noisy and a great for a small group where you would rather enjoy a view and conversation that doesn't require you to yell. I haven't been here too much during the day but definitely stop by at night or for sunset drinks! Escape the strip and enjoy the view at one of my favorite little spots. Bonus! They can do mocktail versions of all their cocktails!
My friends came to visit from LA, and on a walk We stumbled upon this bar. You take an elevator to get to it. Right after the elevator you're greeted by security. One side is a pool!! The other side is a bar and seating area w/ a gorgeous view! There were kids at the pool. I thought that was kind of odd, kids at a pool/bar.. okay. The restroom was clean, but the sink set up was awkward. While washing your hands water got everywhere, unintentionally. The drinks were pricey, like $17+ we didn't get anything. Shortly after we arrived they had someone come to do live music. I told my friends if he was good, we would get a drink! Because I didn't want to get a drink and then he sucked and now I have to listen to finish my drink. Well he wasn't our cup of tea at all. So after he started we left, and so did a lot of other people, because we were all packed in the elevator.
This place is perfect for a nice cocktail and just relaxing at a rooftop bar/pool area. Part of the Rowan hotel, it's the top floor where it's part of the pool. The back area is where this bar sit. It overlooks the mountain which is a beautiful view. Also of the Marilyn statue. Plenty of table seating as well as the bar counter. We tend to just hand out at the bar area as it's always great chatting with everyone. Service is always great, staff and bartender are always fun and friendly. Drinks are great. They serve food as well but we normally just come for a drink and enjoy the view. It's always a nice stop for us when we're in town.
I remembered to look up and said,"Let's go the high bar" and enjoyed the sunset view while sipping a scarlet blossom concocted with vodka, ancho Reyes chile liquer, lime juice and hibiscus syrup. It is a winner and pretty, too. Located on the 7th floor, the outdoor bar overlooks the PS mountains and looks toward the pass, opposite the rooftop pool. The menu includes snacks and desserts, wine, and 12 dollar beers on tap, plus some inventive cocktails. Open from 10 am to 10:30 pm, there is a happy hour from 8:30 pm to 10:30. I need to remember to look up more often. It's definitely a nice vibe, a great view, with friendly service.
High Bar sits on the top of Kimpton Rowen Palm Springs Hotel. Wonderful views of the mountains and valley. Access (by non-guests) is by an elevator off the walkway near Il Corso. The rooftop bar is on the side of the hotel pool. Staff are friendly, professional, and attentive. The seating is varied, the high tops give the best views, but after dark, the couches have firepit warmth! The food menu is spare but adequate. A late night Happy Hour (0830p-1030p Tu-Thur) is of interest for late night revelers!

Excellent service & great cocktails ! Highly recommend. Comfy area by the pool. Relaxing atmosphere read more
Came here for a night cap on a Friday night. Maybe it was near the end of the night but it was hard to flag staff down to place an order. Amount of alcohol that was provided for the price of what they're charging was straight robbery, taste of the drink itself however was good. read more
Rooftops are pretty rare in Palm Springs, so finding this one was a nice surprise. The view is definitely the highlight -- wide open, sunny, and exactly what you want from a rooftop bar in the desert. Service was good, and we grabbed seats in the lounge area with open bar seating. It was a hot, sunny day so we stopped in just for drinks. The mocktail selection was very limited -- mostly classic cocktails made without alcohol, so more juice than crafted mocktail. I was hoping for something a bit more creative. Prices were on the higher side, but that's expected for a rooftop pool bar at a nice hotel. They are dog friendly, which is always a huge plus and makes the space feel even more relaxed and welcoming. Didn't try the food, but the menu looked pretty standard. Overall, if you're coming for the views, it's great. Everything else was just okay, but still a solid stop if you're already in the area and want a rooftop moment with your pup. read more

Came here for mid day drinks, they honored our requests to make something off menu and it came out fantastic. Frozen Rosé!!! On a hot summer day, perfect and refreshing. Mid day crowd is also light and intimate. read more
Good food. Good service. Crazy prices. Who gets their kid a $30 grilled cheese with a soda? They are super vigilant you don't bring in any outside food and it's not surprising given the prices. You are not permitted to even bring food from elsewhere in the hotel. They have security scouring the pool area to make sure you don't have any contraband: nuts, chips. Oh, and there is a kitchen service fee on the bill. As if, at their prices, they cannot afford to properly pay kitchen staff... read more

Came here on a Friday evening around 725 to hopefully catch the sunset. Entered the hotel and ventured to the elevators to ride up to the rooftop. I went up, and a beautiful restaurant was on the way yo the rooftop. Since it was the end of July, it was hot out. There was plenty of seating, so I took a high top and sat. I ordered a lemon drop martini. The service was fast and courteous. My drink was really good. read more
It's been a year and I still disagree with the negative reviews of High Bar. I finally tried their food menu, so I'm dropping an updated review here! This spot has the best view in Palm Springs. High Bar is a rooftop bar at the Kimpton Rowan in downtown. This is the highest building in the city, so you get undisturbed views of the strip and the desert. Our crew recently stopped by for a round of cocktails and some appetizers. We grabbed their watermelon salad, the Market Meza Plate with baba gonnush and hummus platter. The dishes were made with the freshest and brightest ingredients. Everything tasted wonderful and was presented so beautifully. read more

Staff were very friendly and helpful. asked for Tajin on the rim and it paired with the paradiso (highly recommend!). The shrimp tacos had super nicely grilled shrimp. Rowan Rita was solid too but liked the paradiso more. Seating is first come first serve. You can access the bar either through the main hotel lobby and taking the elevator or there's a side elevator in the alleyway with signs. read more

This place clearly used to be very nice... It's honestly sad how neglected it looked because it could easily have a line to get in with some small changes. The building it is located in and the elevator ride up feel very premium and exclusive, but as soon as we went to sit down we noticed how very dusty and neglected the space was. Dirty menus, stained seating and cobwebs covered up what could've been a beautiful spot. The gorgeous view had to be viewed through dusty streaked windows. It was August and above 100 degrees, but not all the ceiling fans were on and there were no misters.... I ordered a guava daiquiri and it was nice but nothing special especially for the price tag of $18. There was live music that was fine, not bad and not great. I wouldn't return unless they cleaned up tremendously to make their space match their prices... Or I wanted to witness the final chapter of Charlotte's Web again read more

The reason I'm giving four stars instead of three is because the view is beautiful. I wish they had a good vegan option on the menu. That was a little disappointing. To be honest even though the drinks looked good cause I was in a big group with lots of people ordering them nothing on the menu particularly interested me. This is a great spot to come in a small or large group they have lots of patio furniture that's comfortable to sit on and chat and socialize with your friends. The bar is also connected to the pool and if you're a hotel guest you can go on the pool. Please add some vegan options to your menu that are a little more substantial. read more
We visited High Bar for some afternoon drinks and lite bites. Between the delicious drinks, hummus, and views we weren't disappointed. High Bar is on the top floor of The Kimpton Rowan. You don't need a reservation and can walk right in. The bar is seated behind the pool area and pool seating. Our waitress was very sweet and checked on us often. This is a great afternoon spot so you can observe and take in the gorgeous views, but wouldn't be bad in the at sunset or evening either. There was a lite breeze and plenty of sun so we were happy, but likely on very windy days I wouldn't recommend. Wouldn't be ideal for a large party, *comfortable* wheelchair access, or any group that doesn't mind to be pretty close to one another, however. read more
Located on the rooftop of the Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel, High Bar is a great place to enjoy a sunny afternoon! While staying at the hotel, my wife and I came here to relax after a day of hiking. The Saturday atmosphere was lively but not overly crowded, with upbeat music playing and friendly servers pouring endless pitchers of ice water which we greatly appreciated. We hung out in lounge chairs while drinking Tom Collins Cocktails (a summertime classic if you've never tried one) and took frequent dips in the pool to cool off. Overall, it was a lot of fun and we'll definitely consider returning! Tip: The bar is open to the public even if you're not a hotel guest. read more

Located on top of the roof of a hotel, high bar can be a little difficult to find. You enter through a smaller door and take the elevator to the roof There's a large pool and cabana seating for hotel guests only. However, non guests can still come for food and drinks We had 8 people in our party and it felt like drinks took forever to come out. I also ordered tequila shots for the table and unfortunately the tequila was super warm. They also don't bring salt unless you request it, which was kind of weird. I get that it's over 100 degrees in Palm Springs but I think that chilling it should have been a standard to give a better experience. The cocktails were great and beautifully prepared read more
Super cute spot located at The Rowan. High Bar is their rooftop spot where you can have drinks and bites even if you're not staying at the hotel. Make sure to take a look of the views because they're some of the best in town. They do have a separate elevator entrance on the side of the building just FYI! Really enjoyed their beer offerings and the team here is pretty friendly. Make sure to grab some Parmesan truffle fries! read more

Such a fun spot! Julian, our bartender, was awesome and made great drinks. We ordered our faves and luckily he was able to make them. I hear the menu is vast with different drink options, we didn't even peak at it, but lots of choices. read more
Take the elevator to the top and relax by the pool with a handmade cocktail. You feel like you're sitting in the mountains. Super cool views and vibes! Music is thumping and overtly loud by the bar, so we moved to the pool. read more
