Good time
Vanessa G.

Such a cool experience!!! Ive been coming to Palm Springs every year and have never been here. Try the captains nuts they were also delish. The drinks were good the service was excellent. I would recommend this to everyone. We had reservations around 7pm by 9pm it started to get very full. I heard they have a show on Saturday nights ill have to come back and see.

We were in the Palm Springs area for a few days and made a list of bars to visit and PS Air was on the list. It is located in a strip mall in the back of the Bouschet wine shop. Although it is advertised as a speakeasy, there is a sandwich board in front of the shop advertising the location. I would say it is more of a themed bar as they have shows and entertainment also. There was plenty of parking available right in front of the shop early on a weeknight. I would definitely recommend calling and making a reservation ahead of time. We walked into Bouschet and were steered to the back of the store where there is a little ramp up to the entrance of PS Air. We were initially seated towards the back in a set of slightly elevated economy airplane seats right in the middle of the aisle with a regular table. We were looking for a more immersive experience from a unique place like this and asked to be moved to some seats more inside the airplane body with windows and a wing segment as the table. Even though there were several empty four seat and six seat areas, we were told that they were reserved. We ended up settling on sharing a six seat area with another group of three people. Sitting here definitely gave more of an "in an airplane" vibe. It feels like PS Air is more of a place for groups. If you are going just as a couple or are looking for an intimate evening, expect to share a group of seats or sit at the bar which kind of defeats the point of coming here. The seats are real airplane seats with most of them being economy seats in groups of six, but there are also a few groups of four first class seats near the entrance. In between each pair of seats is a segment of an airplane wing with glass on top which is your table. All of the windows have various pictures in them. One of our windows had a picture of a gorilla on the wing which was a scene from an old episode of Twilight Zone. There are also various large airline inspired posters overhead and some luggage above some of the seats. There are also a few fluffy clouds overhead. Even the restroom door is painted to look like an airplane lavatory door and there are more airplane themed things inside. This was our first stop of the night so we decided to order some appetizers with our first round of drinks. I usually don't expect much from bar food but it was definitely subpar. We started with the hummus plate. The veggies were fresh, but that was about it. The hummus was solid like it had been in the refrigerator all day and it didn't have much taste. The pita bread also tasted like it had been in the refrigerator as well. We also ordered the BBQ chicken pizza. The dough, cheese, and BBQ sauce were good, but the cubes of chicken were totally dried out and the jalapeño pepper slices were nuclear hot. I tried the Aviation cocktail which was ok. It had a nice violet color but it was extremely gin forward. My girlfriend had the Red Eye which she enjoyed. It was grapefruit forward which she liked and it was balanced, but she could have done without the Taijin rim. Some of the drinks have airplane shaped ice cubes which is a nice touch. The drinks were ok and the food was subpar. The group of three people we sat with were friendly and they left about fifteen minutes later so we had the space to ourselves for the rest of our visit. The few servers we interacted with were friendly and service was fine. The environment is what killed it for us. When we first sat down "in the plane", there was a group of six sitting across from us and they had two young children that were running all over the place most of the time. When we were deciding on whether or not to get another round of drinks, another group came in with a dog. We love kids and animals, but this isn't the place for that in what I would expect to be an adults only no animals establishment so we decided to leave. The bottom of the white airplane body under the windows was also dusty and had stains that looked like they had been there a long time. Fun concept, especially if you are with a group of people, but it didn't work for us due to the other guests on that particular night. They also need to step up the food.

SUCH a unique experience! Would 100% recommend it, we even almost missed it since it's a speakeasy. Good: - The staff are all dressed like airplane staff, and they commit to the bit - The drinks are all themed, I got a chocolate rum drink that tasted like hot chocolate, and the others got drinks with little airplane shaped ice in them. - The seats are airplane seats, and the bathroom is an airplane stall, but better - The waiter we had was from France, and he was really entertaining - There are even fake clouds in the ceiling Bad: - We wish we spent longer here! Overall would come here, it's a hidden gem in a sleepy shopping mall.

Gourmet flat bread (comes with truffle oil drizzle and arugula, but I ordered without)

This is a cool little place! It is actually kind of a speakeasy - - you walk through a wine bar/store to get to the door to PS Air. When you walk in there is a lighted aisle, just like on a plane. There are airplane seats on either side of the aisle, the groups of two first class seats or three coach seats face each other with a table made from an airplane wing in the middle. The seats even have seat belts and a flotation vest underneath!! There are clouds hanging from the ceiling that change colors, and vintage airline photos and enlarged posters on the wall. Running along the side of each while our airline windows with lit photos in each one. There's disco ball and a DJ booth and a blue lip bar in the back. The bathroom door looks like the push doors on a real airplane bathroom, but, fortunately, The bathroom is nice and large. The bartender wears a pilot's uniform, and it looks like they have a boozy brunch served by uniformed "flight attendants." The other two ordered beer, but I ordered a cocktail - - The chocolate cloud. It was delicious and pretty boozy! The food menu is small, but the food was good. We got the flatbread pizza, which was like a margarita pizza; the gourmet pizza, a white pizza with mushrooms; and the sliders with onion jam and macaroni salad. What a fun place to come when you're in Palm Springs! I would like to go back in the evening and see one of the shows, or even more, attend a boozy brunch!

Great experience and very entertaining. Surprisingly for bar food it was excellent. The service is exceptional and the entertainment is interactive with patrons. Great concept and well executed

Entrance to PS Air is through the Bouschet Wine Shop.

We finally made it into PS Air and were not disappointed. It was super busy (admittedly, we went during Modernism Week, without a reservation), but they were still able to seat us in short order. If you haven't been here yet or heard about it, the bar is whimsically themed like an airplane, and it feels like you're inside headed to some far off destination. The decor is amazing, with various views out of each window, vintage luggage stored overhead, service staff in uniform, and clouds above your head. Speaking of heads, even the bathroom sticks to this theme, being a slightly larger version of what you'll find on a plane. The menu is quite creative, again with the aeronautical theme. Off of the "Wines Around the World" menu, my wife ordered a glass of South African Merlot ($12), while I had one of their signature cocktails, the Warm Nuts ($16). Since we had eaten earlier, we just shared an order of the Mixed Olives ($10), but all of the food that came out to the tables around us looked very good. We did order a second round of drinks. I tried a Turbulence ($16) and my wife had the Chocolate Cloud ($16). All cocktails were well made, and delicious! Service was very good on our visit, even though there was a little bit of a wait due to the larger crowds and them being one person short. Overall, a fun experience, and I'm sure we'll be back to give more food and cocktails a try.

Come fly with me. PS Air Bar & Grill. A hidden gem in Palm Springs. Cool atmosphere, friendly staff and great drinks. A great find if you're in Palm Springs.

This is the best speakeasy I've ever been to! The decorations are on point to the theme. We went for karaoke night and had an absolute blast. The service is impeccable as well. They made sure that our experience was the best. I really would recommend going here to anyone who asks. And the drinks, they were strong! Loved it.

Cute airline seats!
Andrew T.

10/10 experience! A few of our friends or aviation nerd, and this could not have been a more fun experience. The service and drinks are incredible. We came at our reservation time, and unfortunately, they were packed with a party. They apologized and accommodated us in a separate area until our table was ready. Definitely would love to come back. The ambiance here is very warm and charming, especially for those who have an appreciation for airplanes.

Cute ice cube in my lychee martini

Lovely live music on a Monday night. We had the place almost to ourselves but enjoyed the fun decor and ambience. Food menu looked great but we didn't try it. Next time!

I'll take a flight any day of the week here! Walked in and was greeted right away. Music was jammin and the atmosphere is just super cool! They upgraded our seats to 1st class which was neat to see the different areas similar to on a real airplane. Drinks were delicious and perfectly chilled. Host was social and professional. Loved the overall theme of this space. Went later in the evening so didn't take advantage of the food options but definitely will be coming back with my passport haha!

Me and my boyfriend booked a last minute trip to Palm Springs with zero plans and somehow stumbled into one of the best surprises of the weekend. I called PS Air on a whim and the guy who answered was so friendly and welcoming. It set the tone right away. When we arrived, they seated us next to a random person in true airplane fashion and honestly, we vibed. Chill convo, strong drinks, and good energy all around. Speaking of drinks, the pear martini was strong in the best way. This is why I love gay bars. They do not play around with their pours.The whole vibe was immersive and fun. Real airplane seats that actually recline and are super comfy, nostalgic aviation decor, and a crew that really delivers the experience.The DJ playlist was so random in the most iconic way. It felt like all my Spotify playlists hit shuffle at once and I was weirdly obsessed. Next time I'm definitely coming back for their drag Sunday brunch or a murder mystery night. PS Air isn't just a bar, it's a whole experience. 10/10, highly recommend.

How cute is the airplane ice cube :h)
Hallett L.

Fun atmosphere - like six rows on an aircraft. Highly recommend reservations as we were seated in First Class which most are real coach seats. We had a cocktail and the pilots warm nuts - lol - which were amazing and actually worth the $15. Bartender made a perfect martini. Service was great and we had a fun time.

Im curious about the Mid-Mod Boozy Brunch? Any one wanna give me a review?😉

Not sure about mid boozy brunch , I'd give them a call they would be more than happy to answer !

Is this place 18 and up?

Yep. It's based on the Speakeasys of the 1920's. Alcohol is served, so I'm going with Adults only atmosphere.… 

Do you have to get ticket for a Friday or only if there is a show?

If you want to see the show, reservations are a must. If you come in before the show starts, you could get a seat, but you'll be asked to leave once the show starts.

Can you go there on Saturday or Sunday can you just go for a drink on the plane without doing the show?

Yes, just get there a little early since I believe the show starts at 7.

It says naughty flight attendants on their website... is this a strip club?

As Jim said, it's a drag show.... But an Excellent Drag Show. We went for their 11:00 am Sunday show…

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. And I believe they're expanding. Chad took over after our sweet waitress and he was great as well. The service was great the whole time we were there. Drinks were good and the experience was nice.

We wandered around for a bit looking completely confused until someone finally took pity on us and pointed out the unmarked dark door. Apparently, if you know, you know! Once inside, it has such a fun Prohibition-era speakeasy feel. The atmosphere is dark, intimate, and very cool, and our bartender was fabulous and completely played along with the vibe. When I pulled out my phone to take a picture, he looked at me very seriously and said, "No pictures, please." I immediately put my phone away! 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!" We had just come from a slightly odd service experience at Workshop Kitchen (see that review!), so for a second I thought, "Oh no, here we go again!" Thankfully, not at all. The drinks were great, the atmosphere was fun, and the bartender made the experience even better. Such a fun hidden little speakeasy and definitely a place I would recommend. We'll absolutely be back!

The drink menu was well put together and had a wide variety of tiki cocktails from the standard tiki drinks to unique house made creations. We ordered the painkiller and a virgin painkiller. They were both very delicious and well crafted. We did have a little mishap with our drinks being forgotten. We arrived at 8:35pm, we were greeted promptly and had our order taken with 10 minutes but we didn't receive our drinks until 9:10.

Glowing red & decked out in typical tiki bar decor, Bootlegger Tiki's drink menu, like many of its kind, is rum heavy. The two drinks I tried -- Blackbeard's Booty with coconut cream & citrus notes, as well as Donn Beach 1934 Zombie with warming spices -- felt like they were lighting my esophagus on fire. Not enjoyable to drink, but perhaps I've always been biased against cocktails that are both too sweet & too strong on the liquor taste. Chill bartenders who did their best to recommend things we would like, but in the end, this spot is one-and-done in my book.

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!

My partner took me here for my birthday weekend, and the evening started off wonderfully. We ordered an appetizer and drinks, enjoyed the atmosphere, and were looking forward to a great dinner. Unfortunately, the service took a noticeable turn after we ordered our entrees. After finishing my first drink, approximately 20 minutes passed without anyone checking on our table. We were seated outside, and there wasn't a server nearby to flag down. When our entrees finally arrived, they were quickly dropped off by someone other than our server, without anyone checking whether we needed anything else. I specifically asked that person to send our server over because I wanted another drink, and another five minutes passed before someone, possibly a manager or lead, finally approached us. By that point, I had been waiting approximately 25-30 minutes just to order another drink. There were two cocktails on the menu I wanted to try, so I asked for both. His response was curt and surprisingly uncomfortable: "We don't usually do two drinks because it looks like we're overserving." I completely understand and respect a restaurant's responsibility to serve alcohol responsibly. My issue wasn't necessarily with the policy itself, but with how it was communicated. His tone felt dismissive and almost reprimanding, as though I'd done something inappropriate simply by asking to order two cocktails. I'd only had one drink up to that point, was enjoying a full meal, and had given no indication that I was intoxicated. What made the interaction particularly frustrating was that the restaurant's lack of attentiveness had created the situation in the first place. Had someone checked on our table regularly, I likely would have ordered another cocktail much earlier. Instead, after nearly half an hour of waiting, I was made to feel uncomfortable for requesting two drinks when someone finally appeared. It was also a little confusing considering the restaurant offers a margarita flight on its own menu. While I understand that's not necessarily equivalent to two full cocktails, it does make the response feel somewhat inconsistent with the experience the restaurant promotes. A more hospitality-focused response could have been as simple as, "Absolutely, let's start with one and I'll check back shortly to see if you're ready for the second." That would have respected the restaurant's policy while still making me feel like a valued guest. We spent approximately 2.5 hours at the restaurant, and I don't think wanting to enjoy two or three cocktails over the course of a birthday dinner is particularly unreasonable. Ultimately, this was disappointing because the evening started so positively. The food and atmosphere were enjoyable, and I genuinely wanted to love this restaurant. Unfortunately, the extended gaps in service and the unnecessarily uncomfortable interaction overshadowed what should have been a special occasion. Hospitality is about more than serving good food. It's also about making guests feel welcomed, comfortable, and taken care of. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience, and I don't see us returning.
