Cousins night out. They may not have the individual room karaokes so we went to the one that had a…read moresolid vibe. This stood out, here was our experience. AMBIANCE Parking: Street parking. We didn't have any issues around 10pm. Seating: An intimate lounge for the most part, bar seating, group seating, room for about 50 people total. Vibes: Downtown Palm Springs is an eventful place. Small enough that it's close to the type of vibe you need. As for the space itself, it has a dim lighting, a tv for sports or popular shows if you just want to zone out. You have your usual singers and a good ebb and flow of people trying to catch a song. Karaoke is definitely the heart of this place. Whether someone is absolutely crushing it or having fun with friends, it's a supportive place with good vibes all around. DRINKS Vodka Soda with Lime (Recommend) A simple drink that gets the job done. Cold, refreshing, and well balanced. Just a solid cocktail to help you relax and enjoy the vibes. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly, attentive, and easygoing. DJ is great and same as the servers. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good drinks, welcoming people, and one of those neighborhood bars that doesn't have to be expensive and flashy. Great space where people can laugh, sing, meet new friends, and enjoy a night out. Enjoy! TIPS * Karaoke is the main attraction--don't be afraid to sign up for a song. * Vibes will come in waves, sometimes it's poppin and sometimes its chill.

I loved that there are different dining rooms, each with its own art and design. Every space feels unique, and walking through the restaurant is an experience on its own. For brunch, I ordered the chilaquiles, and the Negra Modelo ranchera salsa was delicious and very unique. The flavors really stood out, and I loved the addition of the Spanish chorizo Bilbao. My wife ordered the poblano chile relleno, and everything on the plate was delicious. The refried pinto beans were especially good, and the corn pudding was amazing--like a little piece of corn tamal! Then came the carrot cake sandwich... and honestly, it looked like they saved the best for last. This might be the best carrot cake we have ever tried! The layers of cream cheese semifreddo, carrot ribbon cream, candied pecans, orange crisps, and salted caramel were absolutely incredible. I would honestly come back to Eight4Nine just for the carrot cake. Everything we had was delicious, but the dessert stole the show without a doubt. A big thank you to Sandy, our waitress, for the great recommendations and wonderful service. We loved celebrating our anniversary here and definitely want to come back!

They were super accommodating with our large party even though we arrived late due to our dinner running over. Service was friendly and attentive. I tried two of their themed cocktails: the TSA, which was Aperol-based and refreshing, and the Stewardess, a lychee rum cocktail that was way stronger than I expected and not as sweet as I was hoping for. Overall it was a fun experience but I wish the music was louder and the lights were dimmer to make it a more party vibe. They also close at 12, which is kinda early for a bar and caught us by surprise.

It was our last night at Palm Springs and wanted to go dancing at this club. The original plan was…read moreto go to Zaldas, long gone and Purple Room was closed for renovation. I have been to Zaldas nightclub years ago and it was a fun place. Anyway, looked up on Yelp and found this gem and my friend and I got excited, took an Uber and went straight to the club. We didn't have this much fun in a long time. David was very nice, kind and attentive. Since we had already eaten, we only ordered drinks. We both opted for Coconut Margarita (blended) didn't want to cross the line and get drunk. That is why we took the Uber down there. Smart idea right? Right! They have a dance floor, DJ, and live music. Also a cover charge for entrance. $10.00 which is not bad at all. Other places charge way more..Can't comment on the food, since we didn't eat there. The minute I came back from the restroom to my seat, this lovely elderly gentlemen invited me to dance. Since he was more like my friend's age, she thought that he was about to ask her to dance.. Place was very clean, David checked on us twice, and the feeling/vibe along with the atmosphere was just PERFECT!! The song that the band was playing was "Besame Mucho". I am sure most of you have heard of that song, if you haven't, it's never too late. If I happen to be in Palm Springs again, I will definitely go back to this club. You are never too old to have fun. You can also hold events for your special occasions. Thank you David, Copa Night Club and management.Established back in 2013, restrooms for both men and women, street and metered parking only..business hours are from 9pm till 2am. Closed on certain dates and holidays! I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

He was incredibly kind and personally made sure we were taken care of throughout the night. We especially appreciated that he kept us informed on how we were doing against our minimum spend and made sure we were well served the entire evening. That level of attentiveness made the night feel easy and well managed from our side. The music and overall energy were great, and the club was packed well beyond the 50 plus guests we brought into the reserved section. It felt lively, celebratory, and like exactly the kind of place you want for a wedding after party. The staff was welcoming, service was strong, and the atmosphere carried the night forward in a really fun way. We would absolutely recommend Copa for anyone looking for an upbeat Palm Springs after party venue.

All were good, but we couldn't stop thinking about the excellent drinks and experience we had at Bootlegger. A few weekends ago, we were just about to head to Tiki Oasis in San Diego, but we called an audible and decided to make an impromptu trip back to Palm Springs just to visit Bootlegger again. As luck would have it, the same bartenders from our first visit (John and Dave) were there. Our first experience was not a fluke. Again, we had a series of delicious cocktails -- five in total, and none dipped in quality. Plus, John and Dave were welcoming, fun, and friendly. Out of the 30+ tiki bars we've visited, we'd rank Bootlegger in our top three. Highly recommend. We're already planning our next trip back.

The atmosphere hits the perfect balance between cozy, retro, and vibrant. From the moment you walk in, the moody lighting, detailed tropical decor, and intimate setting set an incredible vibe that instantly makes you feel like you've escaped to a secret oasis. It is ideal for catching up with friends, starting off a night out, or enjoying a relaxed evening drink. Beyond the fantastic ambiance, the service is top-notch. The staff and bartenders are incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They are always happy to recommend options based on your taste, and the attention to detail in every cocktail really shows. The drinks themselves are expertly crafted, balanced, and beautifully presented--you can tell real thought goes into the menu. Whether you are looking for classic tiki flavors or unique craft creations, everything served is flavorful and high quality. The small bites are equally impressive and pair wonderfully with the drink selection. Having gone twice now, Bootlegger Tiki has officially earned a permanent spot on my go-to list whenever I'm looking for great drinks, wonderful service, and an unforgettable atmosphere. I already cannot wait to go back for round three--highly recommended to anyone looking for a fantastic night out on Palm Canyon Drive!

The other week we were here for a private event hosted during happy hour. By then the place was…read moreclosed for the public and only open for the event. It was quite lively when we walked in. Prior visit has been for food which the last time it was quite nice. We've sat at the covered patio which was great as we had our little fur baby with us. Oh, the place is pet friendly which is very nice. Anyways, for dinner menu is somewhat limited but they do have some good options. As this event was held during happy hour times, and the place closed for the event so there was no food served. Parking is great as there's plenty of spots in the lot. Street parking is also available if needed. The place is quite cute with their decors. There were maybe three bartenders working the event. They had their regular cocktails menu as well as specials. Not sure if that's a main thing or if it was just for the event. The main bar and dining area was utilized where people can mingle and get to know each other. Event hosted by The Palm Springs Guys where they host monthly cocktails hours at different businesses. A nice way to meet new people in the area, friends gathered together for drinks and to try new places out. A good concept and great way to try new businesses in the valley. As for this place, I've been to brunch the first time. Last time was for dinner which we did have a great time. The layout is beautiful right when you walk in. The decor is beautiful with their mix of mid century modern. The lobby itself is a cool spot for drinks. They have the main dining area as you walk in. Two different patio outside which are both covered. One main bar as you walk in. This place is quite cool and a great stop for a drink with the fur babies.

We waited and repeatedly tried to get someone's attention while watching staff standing around talking amongst themselves and answering phone calls. What made it especially frustrating was that a couple who arrived after us had their drink order taken and were already being served while no one had even come over to take our order. After waiting and trying to get someone's attention with no luck, we finally decided to get up and leave. We came excited to enjoy the rooftop, have dinner, and spend our evening there, but unfortunately we never even got the opportunity to order. Really disappointing service and definitely not the experience we expected.

I went to Bar Cecil to celebrate a double birthday with my bestie last night. First off, you have…read moreto make reservations two weeks in advance online-- not more, not less. They don't pick up the phone at all, so don't bother calling. They do, however, take walk-ins if you're willing to wait. All part of the optics and over hype. We brought our own bottle of Veuve and they were great about putting it on ice for us and opened it for us so we could sip while we waited for a table. All excellent, but it came at a $49 corkage fee before tip! Geez! When we were seated, the host made a big deal about our birthdays gave us BOTH handwritten birthday cards and told the waiter to take good care of us because we were celebrating a double birthday and seated us at a center spot at the bar, which we loved! A hit! Overall, the service and ALL the staff were great, but to be honest. some of the food was hit and miss. The menu is somewhat underwhelming. They seem to be mostly known for their deviled eggs. Okay, I love a deviled egg, but so what? Every time I'd ask anyone about Bar Cecil, they'd say, "Well. their deviled eggs are good." We should have known then, but we wanted to see for ourselves what the hype was about. It's French because they serve, escargot, steak frites, and caviar service, but it's really a bunch of different food items that aren't really cohesive -- deviled eggs with dates and sage, Thai curry muscles, smoke pork chop, cacio e pepe. WTF? The best things we had were the oysters, grilled artichokes and the Bernaise sauce on the steak frites was spot on, but the steak itself was chewy and difficult to cut with a steak knife -- a miss that could have been a hit. Not worth the price point. We also ordered the Thai curry muscles, which were really good until the last six muscles, which were sandy and gritty. Again another miss, that could have been a hit. The waiter did take them off the bill, but then at the very end of our "double birthday celebration," the waiter asked, "Are you ready for desert?" My friend responded, "Well, I'm pretty full. Is it complimentary?" And he responded, "It is, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise." So we both ordered desert -- I ordered a "special" desert that wasn't on the menu. A cookie ice cream thing and she ordered the pavlova. Mine was okay. She loved hers. Again it could have been a massive hit-- instead it was a massive miss! We were charged $27 for our two "complimentary" deserts before tax and tip! Oh well, we didn't haggle and paid our bill, but only tipped 20%. We would have tipped an extra $50-$100 because it was our birthdays and we would have tipped all the comped amounts to the wait staff, figuring we would have paid those costs plus tax and tip on top of that. Too bad. Overall, I wouldn't wait in long lines any time soon for this experience. It's was just a meh for us.

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.
