What an experience to kick back and have some fun! What made it a wonderful experience was the great attentive staff, the kind patrons and the great performers. Plus the drinks were solid and not crazy expensive like LA prices! We joined this venue for my birthday- My friend made reservation to secure us a seat. We received seats at a bar like seating environment, but there were also tables for larger parties. For those who do not have reservation, if space is available you can curl up to the official bar. Customers seem to pour in about 15 minutes before performances. Mostly parties and/or groups of individuals. The performers were very lively and enjoyable. Especially the MC! From experiencing other places, what I like to see is more performances on stage before they circle the room and take money. The performance from the dance teacher in San Diego was amazing- very artistic. Was happy to see three performances from her! If coming, prepared to have fun and bring some money to show your appreciation for the talented performers. Having a pocket full of dollar bills will get you far!

One Eleven Bar is in Cathedral City, which is really nice for Cat City people to enjoy a local bar vs going downtown to Arenas. The bar is spotless, as are the restrooms and offers a variety of everything from Drag Bingo, Drag Shows and Karaoke. The bartenders are a really nice group of guys and very attentive. We have gone here on many, many occasions and each and every time it has been really nice. So if you are in Cat City, drop in, drink specials are 2:00 to 7:00 daily and the drinks are always made properly.

Host for Monday trivia night
Tracy K.

We came here on a Monday night for trivia night. The trivia questions were by randomly themed like for example : "Missing ingredient " and "I've seen that movie". The host was really funny. We had a good time with him. It was a busy night with at least 14 teams/people playing. We signed onto a website and were able to play. Server was nice. She checked in on us every once in a while. We were there during happy hour so got $5 for domestic beers, and $7.50 for a margarita. They charge 3% for credit cards. I saw that they had charged my credit card another time but was removed and got my money back. This gay bar had so many rainbow decorations, which we liked. There were two gender neutral restrooms. Happy that this bar was in a large lot with a lot of parking: same plaza as goodwill.

Elton John tunes with Ron Pass!
Kramer D.

If I could give this place six stars I would! We absolutely love this place. We originally came to see The legendary Ron Pass. We're lovers of show tunes and had been searching for a truly fun piano bar. Ron did not disappoint. A true key-whisperer, every note he played had us grinning ear to ear. He didn't just play songs--he told stories, created moments, and somehow made the entire room feel like one big musical family. The vibe was so fun and easy going. You couldn't help but make new friends--it was that kind of night. At one point, an attractive couple sat next to my husband and me... with the cutest little puppy I've ever seen. I was instantly smitten. Naturally, I had to order the pup a "Puppaccino." (Zero regrets.) The drinks were amazing - Flawless. We kept the Mai Tais flowing and agreed they were hands-down the best we've ever had. I asked about the bartender and was told his name is Terry. If he's there every Wednesday, then so are we. And then there's Rick. Imagine if Clark Kent decided to moonlight as a server--that's Rick. His energy was magnetic, and it was clear he was having just as much fun as the guests. I was genuinely thrilled to see him again on our second visit. That's when I realized: Rick was the only server working the whole room--and absolutely crushing it. Talk about talent, grace under pressure, and serious passion for what he does. If heaven has a lobby, it definitely looks and sounds like this piano bar. Go. Bask. Order the Mai Tai. Tip generously. Clap like no one's watching. We already can't wait to go back!

Drag Brunch Menu
Stefanie C.

I had the best time at One Eleven with my friends when we came here for Drag Brunch, hosted by the incredibly talented Vanity Halston. The hosts did a great job seating everyone to maximize the experience. It was an easy process to buy tickets and follow instructions. Cocktails were tasty. Overall, it's a super cute spot I would visit again!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Totally worth the wait. Only open 5 nights a week, with seating for under 45 people, and frequented by locals in the know as well as savvy travelers, your dining experience begins with Paul escorting you to either your table or a seat at the bar. Strap in to enjoy great cocktails and a delicious dinner. There are, as I recall, daily specials. From its humble roots ( 30-40 years back), this strip mall location is anything but a mall resturant. The aproned and bow-tied bartenders and waitstaff are REALLY good at their assignments. The back bar is ornate and old. Set your expectations high for the quality and presentation of the food. if you're a party of two, the bar is THE best option (perhaps only) and your wait time to order will likely be shorter there. If you're eating at the bar, ask your neighbors what they recommend or what they ordered, and you won't go wrong. Paul Bar is a one-off, not to be missed dining experience in Palm Springs.

Our Lyft driver drops us off on a Friday evening in front of Dicks, which was packed full of.. well dicks. lol Our Lyft driver said, "good luck, it's around here some where," and left. The area was GREAT!!! We love the LGBTQ community. The secret door was around the corner, without a sign. We just kept trying to open doors until we found one that was unlocked. We entered a super dark, velvet wall papered room with a huge bar and tables. We didn't have a reservation and we were thankful that they let us in to enjoy the drinks, ambiance, and general atmosphere. The service was great! We tried to sell our waiter to rename water to glacier bombs and he just loved it! The menus were set in a newspaper that was interesting to read. I loved everything about this place.

Neil was welcoming, accommodating, and personally secured a table for our party of six when we returned after 9pm. His hospitality and the venue concept itself are excellent. Unfortunately, the service we received afterward from another staff member, Billy, did not match that standard. The venue is extremely dark, so we used the small table lamp to read the menu. Billy instructed us not to use it because it "wasn't the vibe of the establishment," and told us to use our phone lights instead. The tone was abrupt and dismissive. Around 9:50pm he announced last call. When one guest ordered, his response was, "I guess if you must." Others asked for a moment to decide and were repeatedly rushed. We explained we weren't aware they closed as 10, as Neil had told us it would be open seating after 10. He replied, "Yeah, well I'm closing tonight and I'm closing at 10." When drinks were delivered, they were set down forcefully. As we were leaving, a member of our group overheard Billy speaking negatively about us to another employee, including mocking someone in our group for needing glasses to read the menu and implying she was intoxicated (she wasn't). When this was addressed directly, he did not apologize and instead insisted we had overstayed, which is inaccurate. We ordered promptly after being told last call and left after finishing our drinks. We are locals who intentionally brought out-of-town guests here because we wanted them to have a great experience. It's disappointing that one staff member's conduct overshadowed what should have been a highlight of their visit. I won't assign motives, but I will note that Billy's demeanor noticeably shifted after the final member of our group, who happens to be Black, arrived. I cannot determine why, only that the change in tone was clear. Neil has created something special here. However, a venue's reputation ultimately depends on how guests are treated when ownership is not present. Based on this visit, there is a significant gap between the hospitality the owner provides and the service delivered in his absence. I hope Neil takes a close look at what happens when he's not present, because with the right staff, this could easily be a place we'd want to return to.
