    Bingo playing card

    I went to play bingo with my best friend and her mom and it was so much fun!! They were also doing a fundraiser for cakes for kids and it was an amazing turn out. Everyone was so nice and fun! Since they don't serve food, they let you bring outside food in from any of the restaurants near by. Overall it was so fun being there and I would love to go back.

    Love this place! The website lists entertainment and there is Happy Hour everyday. The service and the drinks were great. Went on Sat afternoon and very busy and fun. Menu items are from Trilussa and Capizzis. The watermelon peach margarita slushie is addicting. I ordered the pesto penne with salmon and that was excellent too.

    First visit and we had a great time. Huge cocktail, beer, and wine lounge serving a mostly gay clientele, but everyone is welcome. The wait staff and bartenders are friendly and efficient. Drink orders were filled in 1-2 minutes, and the place was crowded. The cocktails we ordered (Lemon Drop, Old Fashioned, and a Madres) were well-made and very tasty. They have live music almost every night, and since they don't serve food, they allow you to order from one of the two restaurants next door and have it delivered. The crowd was very lively, and we had a great time dancing to the live performance of local singer, Karen Cobb. We were happy to discover The Roost Lounge and will most definitely be back!

    I consider myself a part time resident of the Coachella Valley and that grants me the ability and perspective to treat the area like a local and like tourist. I really love The Roost because even though it doesn't have that tourist energy that the bars on Arenas do but provides more of a local's vibe, while still being welcoming of tourists. It seems like they have some kind of evenly going on every night and although the decor seems more like a restaurant vs bar, it's still a nice place to enjoy a beverage, being served with really cool bartenders. Lastly, they don't have their own kitchen but you can order food from restaurants that are in the same complex and I've even seen people bring their own food too.

    My girlfriend and I sat at the bar and Michael the bartender helped us out . It's happy hour from 3-5pm. The people around looked like locals. People would come in and strike up conversations with each other. I had the tequila sunrise with the house tequila , and my girlfriend had the peach frozen margarita. I honestly was not a fan of the house tequila. Michael swapped out my drink when I requested for a different tequila. It tasted so much better. The margarita was good. On a Monday early evening, there were a lot of people and Michael said there'd be more people coming since it's open mic piano night from 6-9pm. We had to leave and we came back around 8pm. The people singing had amazing voices. When I left to use the restroom and came back, an older white gentleman was talking to my girlfriend. He had his hand on my seat. The minute he noticed me as I was walking back towards my chair, his whole demeanor changed, and he looked visibly upset. He said something rude to me. Then he proceeded with raising his voice and making racist and weird comments. Whenever my girlfriend tried to speak, he continued to interrupt her. She tried her best to deescalate the situation. We were instantly uncomfortable, felt unsafe, and felt targeted due to our sexual orientation and ethnic backgrounds. He got in my girlfriend's face and that's when I gestured for the server to come. My girlfriend made it clear that she already listened to him, he still would not let her speak because he kept interrupting her, and she no longer wanted to have this conversation anymore. He continued to get closer to my girlfriend and the manager stepped in between them. This was when the guy decided to change his story when the manager showed up to make himself look like the victim. Michael apologized to us, told us that he is printing out his bill, and will give it to him. We told Michael that he shouldn't be the one to apologize and it should be that guy who wanted to pick a fight for nothing. Although Michael, the server, and the manager apologized to us, the apologies did not feel sincere. We still felt very uncomfortable and unsafe. The bar still had us pay our bill. We waited for close to 30 mins before leaving because we didn't feel safe leaving the bar yet. We didn't know what this drunk person was capable of. On the way to the exit door, none of the staff asked if we needed anything or offered to walk us to our car. I was surprised of all places that this would happen was a gay bar. They're supposed to be inclusive and safe. That's not how we felt leaving that night. When we got to our car, we looked around to make sure we weren't being followed. We probably won't ever return. We are disappointed with how this bar handled this situation.

We ordered the chicken parm sandwiches and they were such a joke! Basically a bolillo roll with a fried chicken breast cutlet with a little marinara sauce and some mozzarella cheese that was thrown into the oven (to be toasted) at 13.75/ea. Shared a double order of fries which were crispy for 7 bucks. Add a couple of "tall" Tito's cocktails and you've got a tab for 64 bucks. On a positive note, our server, Elia, was a doll and asked how our food was, but I couldn't lie about it. She stated that they're basically renovating and rebranding it as a quick "grab n' go" restaurant with the resort lobby now located in the restaurant itself. Definitely won't be back.

From the moment we arrived, the service was incredibly warm and welcoming, and the food was truly unforgettable. You could immediately tell this is a beloved restaurant with many longtime regulars -- there were so many older guests dining here, which honestly says a lot about the quality and consistency of the food. Everything was flavorful without being overpowering, the kind of comforting and refined taste that everyone can enjoy. Since we mentioned it was our anniversary when making the reservation, the restaurant prepared a handwritten card for us, which was such a thoughtful and touching gesture. It really made the evening feel extra special. Because it was a holiday weekend, the food did take a little longer to come out, but once we tasted everything, it was absolutely worth the wait. The owner personally came around to check on each table, and that level of care made the experience even better. The highlight for us was the chicken breast pasta -- a recipe the chef has perfected over the last 30 years. The bright lemon flavor was incredible and unlike anything we've had before. The pork chop was also elegant and perfectly cooked, and surprisingly, the vegetable dishes completely blew us away. We especially loved the spinach dish. We cook vegetables at home often and genuinely couldn't stop talking about how they managed to create such amazing flavor. Vibe is so fancy and warm. This was one of the most memorable meals we've had in a long time, and we will absolutely come back every time we visit Palm Springs.

    Nice poolside chill experience…read more We spent the afternoon at the adult pool and loved the peaceful, quiet vibe -- perfect for relaxing under the sun. Plenty of umbrellas for every chair. Service was great, with servers coming by every 15 minutes or so to check in. Super friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Food does take a little while to come out, which makes sense since it's coming from the main pool kitchen, but it was worth the wait. The nachos were a standout -- loaded with guac, cheese sauce, beans, and melted cheese. And the portion? Massive. Easily enough to feed four hungry people. We had 2 and made a decent dent. Drinks were also solid -- pricey, as expected at a ritz, but well-made. The piña colada with a rum totally hit the spot on a 100-degree day. Refreshing, strong, and a bit of tropical bliss in a glass. Would definitely come back for the chill atmosphere, great service, and tasty poolside indulgence.
