Little Bar is a great find if you're in Palm Desert. This place is great for meeting up with friends for a quick drink and a meal or to come out with the family. This place is small inside, few seats at the bar and a few small tables, but they have a large patio with plenty of seating outside. They're dog friendly, which I really appreciated. The servers were all attentive and all three of the servers kept coming around asking if I need anything. My Cadillac Margaritas were great, the Burger was juicy and my Tater Tots were nice and crispy. I will be back! read more

Stopped by for a quick drink and the service was wonderful. Our server was very friendly and the vibes were immaculate. They have indoor and outdoor seating, with heaters. Will definitely come back and try their food. read more

I'm me of the only true craft cocktail bars in palm Desert .. drinks are good , find its name to be very appropriate almost a little more little then is comfortable. But still cool for palm desert read more

Great find! A spot frequented by the locals, so you know it's good! Great burgers and fries.

These drinks are STRONG. And delicious but be warned they will knock you over. The Kiwi Basil cocktail was def the winner. Even if you don't like cucumber drinks (I don't) they nailed this one, it combines cucumber, lemon, gin, kiwi, elderflower and basil. Sounds crazy but it's crazy amazing. The Bold Fashioned was also good, a nice take. But the Kiwi Basil won. read more

I've been here before and remember the filthy tots are 5 star and the drinks were very good. If I can find the photos I will upload them from my last visit near a year ago. Last night I decided to grab a quick bite on my way home. I grabbed a seat at a table as the bar was completely filled with patrons. Little bar has a nice outside (covid-era) patio and the inside is dark, lively and plays great music - great vibes. Staff is friendly, attentive and quick to refill water and bring the check once asked. I had a cheeseburger and a water. Cheeseburger: 5 stars. Solid 5 stars. At around 14 bucks the price is steep, but the burger was *perfect*. It comes with a dill pickle spear. Lovely brioche bun with slight smattering of flatgrill grease. I opted for the raw onion as opposed to the grilled onion. Burger patty is perfectly cooked, crisp romaine lettuce and delicious melted american cheese (wonderful guilty pleasure) to round out the perfect burger. small, but delicious. I would order this again. Water is ice cold, delicious. If it wasn't so late after work I would have ordered a cocktail or two and stayed longer. I look forward to coming back. read more

Little Bar - Burger: 5 stars! Water: 5 stars! Haha dill pickle spear: 5 stars. Yummy. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Palm Desert, California

First time visiting today 2-17. Unfortunately, our experience was not that pleasant. I counted 6 staff members, so there were enough employees to attend to us. We sat at the bar...two lower seats. What staff did, they walked past us at least 5x before someone acknowledged us (a good 15 minutes). Finally, one of the staff members took our drink order. Then we never got the order. Can't remember the staff's name, but he did honor the drink, as a complimentary drink. Food and drinks were great. After the BAD SERVICE, and after we got our food, staff was a bit more attentive. Not sure if I'll return, probably wouldn't matter because they never noticed us the first time. I believe in tipping when well deserved, if it wasn't for my friend being such a beautiful soul...no tip!!! gg read more

I showed up at at 9:40 hoping to get a glass of wine, keeping it easy for them, knowing that they stopped the kitchen and all and they denied me when they had a bunch of tables there they would've been there already, but they denied me a glass of wine I will not be back read more

My wife and I stumbled upon this place on our vacation and LOVED everything about it. Small and cozy. It is a place that locals hang out. The service was fast and super friendly. The drinks were generous and while we didn't eat, the food looked scrumptious. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Very small, intimate bar and food joint. Well stocked. Great burger and fried chicken sandwich. Outside seating for more patrons.

The Little Bar is a small establishment with a great atmosphere and the drinks were on point.

Its name is accurate, a tiny bar! Not true, it's small but if you get there like we did around dinner time, it was completely filled, so we sat outside and had drinks. Hubby had beer, and I tried the Hibiscus Margarita- it was on point! Although the temperature dropped slightly, it was still a bit warm so in order to keep ourselves hydrated we kept drinking water with our drinks and to cool us down along with the outdoor misting system. I imagine it's nicer as the evening progresses. Food smelled and looked good, we'll have to give it a try next time. read more

The staff was fine. The food is very average. Seems one of the managers was so busy with work that he totally ignored what was happening in his restaurant. He took the only large booth & did not pay any attention to what was happening in the restaurant. what a joke read more

Absolute best atmosphere in the valley. We spend 1 month a year in the area and visit Little Bar at least a half dozen times. Cocktails are outstanding (blueberry lemon drop) and the bartenders are the best. Quick to serve and always happy to take a photo! Always fun when Harpo stops in for a bite. read more

This is my favorite desert bar, and that's saying a lot. The cocktails and food are great and the everyone is very friendly. I love to bring out of town friends and no one is ever disappointed! read more

We've been to this bar twice now when visiting Palm Desert, and it's quickly become one of our favorite spots. The vibe is perfect - laid-back and not too loud, so it's great for grabbing a drink and hanging out. The drinks are strong and packed with flavor! The foam on the espresso martini was amazing! Last time we tried the greyhound, which was super fresh. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a chill spot with great drinks! read more

The bartenders are friendly and attentive. The setting is the best part. Inside is pretty cool and the patio has a good vibe if you're here with a group. The bar is better if you're solo. Locals are friendly. The drinks are okay. They have a good selection of beer. I had a "bold fashioned" which is on the sweeter side. Can't speak for other drinks. I wouldn't recommend the food. This isn't a restaurant, it's general bar food. The tater tots are good if you're in a group. The burgers are okay but very pricey for what they are. I do not recommend the pizza at all. Overall, this place is best if you're grabbing a couple of drinks in a friend group. If you're solo, stick to the bar for a little bit. Food isn't great and pricey. read more

The ambiance was wonderful but the food was average on my last visit several months ago. My hamburger was mediocre.

Chipotle Salad with Chicken was excellent!Server was attentive.Good house wine.Place is small outside tables are picnic tables.

We had a party of six. It was raining for only their small inside area was available. They actually moved a couple of tables to other spots as to accommodate us! Service was excellent. Food was good. Love the buffalo cauliflower bites and chicken wrap. Husband had a burger and really enjoyed it (they are known for their burgers). We will be back. Wish I knew the name of the young woman who waiting on us cuz she was great!! read more

Little Bar - These Chips and Salsa are DELICIOUS - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Perfect for what we were looking for; we wanted a casual spot with table games, good food, and craft cocktails and we found it. Our server (Elyssa?) was knowledgeable about the beer they carried (draft not available) and was able to recommend something we loved. She was attentive and made great cocktails. We also got lucky to arrive during their happy hour. read more

Showed up with my lady super hungry for dinner, and thirsty. The misses ordered a margarita and myself a whiskey on the rocks. Elexis was our bartender. Super friendly and margarita was phenomenal . Food came out super fast, and really delicious. We ordered a cheeseburger, the carne asada fries and their soup of the day was chilli. Overall food was 10/10. Service was 10/10, oh and whoever is dj??! 10/10. read more

Little Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Drink prices are pretty high and the food prices are astronomical for what you get. Stopped in on a recommendation from a friend and left pretty disappointed. I ordered a cheeseburger and a beer and it rang up to $30, despite the food being pretty generic. The bartenders weren't very welcoming and came off as passive aggressive. There isn't much of an atmosphere, it's just dark. The best part of the whole place was the bathroom because it was the only part of the bar with any personality. read more

What took us so long to discover this gem?? Nonetheless, we know now (that we've visited twice in 3 days!). Everything about this little place is great: the fun atmosphere, the locals vibe, the friendly-&-attentive staff, the impressively fabulous food, AND the delightfully strong cocktails!! We enjoyed their Little Bar Quesadillas, Wedge Salad (which they kindly attractively split for us), and the Tater Tots (hot, crispy exterior, tender interior, and so flavorful!). Great drinks, too: Bold Fashioned, Vieux Carre, and our fave, the Accidental Date! Great find!! read more

This place is understated and laid back. It was comfortable but I wasn't wowed by the atmosphere for a late lunch. We felt the same about our sandwiches. Tasty but not remarkable. What we were blown away by was the fries. They were just regular 'ole fries, but they were cooked perfectly and were served fresh and hot. We couldn't remember the last time we enjoyed fries so much. read more

Busy little bar with a fun, trendy atmosphere. We stopped in just for drinks--my husband had a skinny margarita, and I went with a blueberry martini made with curaçao. Both were tasty, though not quite as strong as we'd expected based on other reviews. Service was attentive and friendly. Overall, a cool place to relax with a cocktail or two. read more

Food and service was phenomenal! Very small but the food was quick to come out and yummy! Definitely will be back!

Such kind and friendly staff! My girlfriend forgot her purse inside and they brought it to us in the car on the way out. We are so grateful!

Don't sleep on this place. Quaint, and like family. I'm not kidding, lots of people who frequent or work there on their days off. Family. But let's not kid ourselves that this review is about food. Wow, the nachos were amazing and the bañuelitos were soft and amazing like nothing I've never tasted so we got a second. When we walked in, the place was full, but the table in the corner of regulars, offered to smush together so we could be inside. Family. With good food. (And drinks too!) read more

Such a cute bar. We were there for HH. Had a couple of drinks and Apps. Make sure to get there early since the bar is little if you wanna be indoors. read more

What can you say about the little bar?! It's little: the name does it justice. Little bar is located in a strip mall off 111. Good size outdoor space to enjoy in the winter. The interior space is small but well appointed for a good time in an unpretentious environment. Cocktails are not cheap for this causal bar: average price of a cocktail is 16 dollars. Cocktail drinks on menu look good. During happy hour they are 4 dollars off. We didn't try the food, but I heard good things about their chicken sandwich. Worth a visit if you seek a causal bar were locals go. read more

Have you ever seen a movie, where they cast a bar, and all the workers have an infectious energy that just penetrates anyone who steps in? Well, that is the beauty of coming to the little bar. Tucked off 111 is an oasis in the desert. It's not a mirage. For some reason it makes me think Kangaroo Jack is going to pop out whenever I'm there. Surprisingly good Vook-A-Ray? I'm not French and not going to pretend how to spell it. Hamburger Salad, and Chicken Sandwich is EPIC read more

Great food, stellar service, great craft cocktails! The staff were so attentive and several different members checked on our table throughout our visit to see if we needed anything. We ordered tacos and nachos and a couple drink rounds. All the cocktails that we tried were tasty & unique! read more

Fun spot to belly up to the small bar and have a burger. Outside seating option helps to augment the small space.
