Front Bar
Gregory Michael C.

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.

Entrance

My friend and I were spending the weekend in Palm Springs for an event and I wanted to check out a drag show, as I have seen amazing drag shows in Palm Springs in the past. I found One Eleven Bar on Yelp with some fantastic reviews. I reserved two seats for Vanity's Dollhouse, one of the many drag productions featured at the bar, on a Friday night. We took a rideshare from downtown Palm Springs, and found it odd when we were taken to a random strip mall in what appeared to be suburbia. When we walked into One Eleven Bar, it was a bit odd as they were between shows/events and the bar was pretty quiet. We noticed a sign with my name that reserved our seats. We were a bit early for the show, so we decided to take a seat at the bar and order drinks. My friend pointed out that people were staring at us. We looked around to realize that we were two of four women in the bar. It was then quite apparent that we had walked into a men's bar. We were surprised, as any drag show we had been to had a more balanced audience, but we figured that we would enjoy the show regardless. The bartender welcomed us and gave us a drink menu. I saw that they had a pumpkin bourbon smash, which is a perfect drink for me. We both ordered it, and really enjoyed it, as it was tasty, had pumpkin spice flavor, but wasn't too sweet. We then moved to our seats. We felt welcomed, as we sat next to a husband of one of the drag queens. He told us how the bar is open 363 days per year, and how they have several different shows each day. I enjoyed the fact that they showed fun music videos leading up to the show. The MC was hilarious. The drag queens were great. I will say that some did more of a performance on stage than others. Some sang rather than lip sync'd, and one was an excellent dancer. I did wish that they performed a bit more on the stage, rather than heading directly out to the audience, as they were a lot easier to watch on the stage, That said, it was a long show and a really fun night. Everyone was really nice to us. Service was excellent and the server brought me pumpkin bourbon smashes throughout the evening. Drink prices were really reasonable. The show, itself, was free, but we paid around $25 per person for reserved seating. They had a men's restroom, and an all gender restroom. The all gender restroom was pretty clean until the end of the evening.... and there was almost never a wait. All in all, we had a great night. I would recommend One Eleven Bar for drinks, service, and entertainment without hesitation.

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.

Always something fun going on at one eleven bar!!! Love Vanity's Doll Haus, Ron Pass and so much more! Entertainment every night of the week. Wonderful staff! And the brunch food is delicious! Been enjoying laughs and fun here for years!

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!

Last time we were here it was towards the end of happy hour and the place was packed. Well this visits, we came around 3 pm and it was pretty lively. Every seating along the bar counter was occupied and a lot of the hi tops tables had reservations assigned to them. First off, we did not know that you could reserve a table for happy hour. We asked the bartender what the reservation was for thinking if something was going on tonight but found out that people tend to reserve tables for it. Within half an hour or so, the place was pretty packed. Everyone was coming in for their reserved tables. There was only a couple of the hi tops tables around the sides and back area that was open for walk in. Besides that everything else was reserved.

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.

AMBIANCE Parking: Street parking and plaza parking. You really shouldn't have any issues unless there's a major festival or something. Seating: Plenty of seating! I mainly saw inside seating from groups to bars. Vibes: You're pretty much in Downtown Palm Springs but also prime location for LGBTQ+ nightlife. The spot itself can be chill and not so chill depending on the events. Regardless, I felt welcomed and enjoyed the vibrant and fun energy. The drag brunch was great! The performers brought charisma, comedy, incredible costumes, with plenty of audience interaction. Whether it was your first drag brunch or your fiftieth, the energy made you feel included. DRINKS Mimosa (Recommend) Simple, refreshing, and exactly what you want during brunch. Light, bubbly, and easy to sip while cheering on the performers. CUSTOMER SERVICE Ongina was served as the MC and was great! The servers were pretty cool too. Good banter, pretty friendly and a good flow. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good flavors, great entertainment, and good energy! Whether you're visiting Palm Springs or you're a local looking for a fun Sunday outing or some fun LGBTQIA+ drag brunch entertainment, check this spot out. TIPS * Make reservations for drag brunch--they fill up quickly. * Bring cash to tip the performers.

I really enjoyed the intimate venue. Everything felt up close and personal, and you could tell the performers were genuinely having fun and going all out on stage.

The Kickxy Vixen "Stars of the Desert" show was amazing. So much talent throughout the night, and Violetta and Kickxy were definitely my favorites . Highly recommend going with friends.

The queens did subpar dances and mostly just walked around collecting money with very little performance. It was just a huge money grab for the queens and they put no effort in.

Paul greeted us himself when we arrived and gave us a realistic idea of the wait, which we really appreciated. It felt less like being processed through a host stand and more like being welcomed in. While we waited, one of the servers came over to see if we wanted to start with drinks. Naturally, we said yes. Once we were seated, everyone at the table had the same reaction to the portions: pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Steak Frites, and my steak was cooked exactly how I asked for it. One friend had the rack of lamb, while another ordered the clams, which came in a generous bowl with toasted bread for soaking up the broth. For the quality and portion sizes, the prices felt pretty reasonable for Palm Springs. Then there were the cocktails. We ordered a round. Then another. At some point, all of us quietly abandoned the idea that we were only having one or two drinks. They were that good. Paul came by later to check on us, and somehow we ended up hearing stories from his Studio 54 days. His sense of humor is sharp, and he has a way of making conversation feel effortless. Dinner basically turned into story time, and none of us wanted him to leave. He even checked in with us again after dinner. We seriously could have listened to him all night. That was what made the evening for me. The food was excellent, the cocktails were good enough to convince us into a few extra rounds, and the room has plenty of personality on its own. Paul's warmth and humor made the whole experience feel personal in a way you don't come across very often. My friend may have been the one campaigning to come here, but by the end of dinner, he had successfully converted the entire table. We're definitely coming back!

Paul Bar is a fabulous experience, I've been here many times and the food as well as the service are always excellent! One of the many really interesting parts is there is a line to get in that starts well before the place opens up at 4 pm and it's like that most of the night HOWEVER the line moves quickly and once you get inside....OMG, you are transported into a really cool, dimly lit, swanky NY supper club with leather booths, tall bar tables plus there's seating at the bar (with many colorful locals that you'll probably end up making friends with) and the selection of food & drinks are so diverse, everything that my friends and I have ordered have been outstanding! Paul the owner who is very sweet is always there and oversees everything in his own quiet way to make sure everything is running smoothly and that his guests are happy, Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is the place to go for really great food, a fun time and an immersive experience and I promise you'll come back

This time, we brought some friends that couldn't find it when they had visited a while back. Of course they enjoyed it. Also with the rainy weather that was happening in the desert, the moody vibe and the dark lighting inside was the perfect combo. It was pretty busy when we walked in. Really wanted the bar seating but the place was pretty busy and it was occupied. They actually had a table left for four which was great. The gal working Saturday night was the sweatiest. Didn't get her name but she was a doll. Menu, they had a really nice selection of specialty cocktails. As it's a full bar, I'm sure whatever you're craving they could create. The selections of cocktails that was coming out was quite impressive. The place is very moody with the dim lighting and dark wallpaper. A nice long bar along one side with hi top tables along the side and back. The cool speakeasy feel. I believe with the construction that's going on, small bites will be offered soon.

Later, when our drinks arrived, I cautiously asked, "Am I allowed to take a picture of these?" He laughed and said, "Of course! I was just giving you the vibe!"
