On a recent two week trip to visit family in California, we discovered Twelve located on the top floor of Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. It was on a Sunday evening. The place was relatively quiet with several people enjoying themselves at the bar. We opted to sit in the comfy lounge chairs overlooking the breathtaking scenery of mountains and blue skies. We had eaten dinner earlier in the casino and since I had a sweet craving, I ordered an Espresso Martini. It definitely satisfied my craving. It was a TREAT! The bartender informed us that live music is showcased on Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays. We decided to return to Thursday Night Rock Show featuring HWY 111. We actually met vocalist Niki Bente in the elevator on our way to Twelve! She was very friendly and personable. Niki Bente also preforms with Twisted Gypsy whom we had the pleasure of seeing at the Rock Yard on Saturday night. Rocking Show!!! HWY 111 was very entertaining as I danced the night away! The place was lively, filled with people having a great time. It proved to be a wonderful experience! I thoroughly enjoyed two different specialty cocktails from the menu. The bartenders are attentive and offer a choice of complimentary almonds with or without salt. Whether you're looking for a quieter place to enjoy a cocktail or two and take in the beautiful views or you prefer to Rock Out with live music, Twelve is the place to choose! I will definitely return to Twelve when I visit California in the future! read more

Twelve is a great, cozy club venue with gorgeous views and a great residency band - 'Steel Rod.' Always loved Rock Yard, but Twelve is a very different, better SOUNDING experience! read more

We came to the Fantasy Springs Casino during our vacation to Palm Springs and within the casino on the 12th floor is Twelve. Twelve is a lounge. There are plenty of areas to sit and the views are amazing especially at night. There is a bar. You can sit outside or inside. There is a stage which is where they normally feature live music. No band was playing the night we visited. We ordered drinks from the bar and just enjoyed the views and lively conversation. I asked the bartender to suggest a tropical drink for me and he came up with a refreshing cocktail. Great place to come for date night or girl's night out. read more

Wowza. The views and the elegance of Twelve are amazing. My friends & I came up for a drink. I was shocked that we were the only ones there. We asked the bartender if we could take a picture on the stage. We did. I'll add that photo later. We pretended we were a band performing. The views outside were great. There is also a big view of the freeway. We ordered drinks: 1 Cadillac Margarita, 1 glass of a red blend wine, and 1 dirty martini. Visiting Twelve is worth a trip. We were allowed to bring our drinks to the buffet. read more

The band, titled Steel Rod After Dark, that plays from 10:30 PM-1:30 AM on Friday and Saturday nights is the absolute BEST!! They all sing and play all different types of music and different artists. We love to dance and go there all the time. The cocktails are delicious too and they don't scrimp on the alcohol either! The view of the Coachella Valley outside is spectacular. Definitely recommend Twelve on the 12th floor at Fantasy Springs Casino! read more

Went and checked this place out on Friday night for the first time! It was pretty packed and they also had a live band playing so the music and the vibe was very chill! The service and the drinks were awesome and they also have an outdoor deck with amazing views so you can hang out and listen to music inside from the band or you can go out on the deck and chill or smoke and enjoy 360° views! Would definitely and highly recommend checking this place out if you have never been and are looking for a chill and relaxing spot to have a good time with a date or friends! read more

Gayle, Erin, Jim, and I spent a pleasant evening up here at Twelve last Friday. Drinks were reasonably priced and the free entertainment (a keyboard/guitar vocal duo) were pleasant enough, once you looked past the occasional sharps and flats, and a longer than usual performance break. The lounge itself is handsome, stylish, and comfortable, and a nice quiet respite from the casino action on the ground floor. I struggled with their drink menu, not wanting beer or wine, but some special cocktail. I made my selection, only to be advised that they were out of a couple of the ingredients (on a Friday night)? Have you ever had an experience that once you found out they didn't have what you wanted, that was it? At least the nice wait person didn't take it personally, I didn't get pissy out it, and was happy for the bottled water while the others enjoyed their 2 rounds of adult beverages. We sat inside and then outside, which were both pleasant, albeit with a better view on the patio. Smoking is allowed outside, and unfortunately no matter where we sat, the smoke was evident. At least it was largely cigar smoke, which I find the lesser of 2 evils compared to cigarettes. And for you cigar smokers, Twelve has a small humidor available. The best part was hanging out with people we liked and having relaxed and thoughtful conversations. We'll probably be back if we're in the area again, especially considering that we're normally not ones to seek out casino-related activities. read more

It was nice to get away from the crowds downstairs. The drinks were good and the services was nice. I enjoyed a couple of drinks with my husband before a concert when it opened. So they were slow but in the late night they were crowded. So if you want a quiet place go when they open. The drinks were strong and unique. I tried the drinks from their speciality menu. read more

#CovidReview At the top the Fantasy Hotel Casino on the 12th Floor, you will find "Twelve" Lounge. A modern luxurious cocktail lounge with a expansive balcony and a beautiful view of the Coachella Valley and the mountains. There is an extensive list of wine and a variety of top shelf liquors to choose from. You can even smoke cigars on the outside balcony. I had an informal meeting with my business associates and we ordered drinks and took shots to celebrate a contract approval. Yanina was our bartender and she made our drinks to our liking. We had a great time, service was great, and the view was breathtaking. I really needed to get away and finally be able to sit down and enjoy the service and a drink. *You still must wear a mask as you enter the Casino plus your temperature will be taken as you enter. The 6 feet social distancing is still in effect! read more

Twelve is a contemporary bar situated on the 12th floor at Fantasy Springs. Often overlooked as an entertainment venue, it's a nice classy place to sit down on a sofa and enjoy a cocktail while escaping the hustle and bustle of the casino. It has an outdoor patio level with a nice view of the city lights and skyline at night. On weekdays it is very quiet and a nice place to sit and chat over drinks. On Friday and Saturday nights there is live entertainment. Early in the evening (between 7pm to 10pm) there is usually and acoustic (unplugged) duo playing rock/contemporary music. It's usually pretty quiet then with plenty of open seats. Between 10:30pm and 1:30am the house band "Steel Rod" rolls in with more of a local crowd and plays rock/contemporary music. read more

So fun!! We came up to catch a sunset and have a drink. The Rock Yard was having an outdoor concert and we enjoyed music from the rooftop. Cool skyline view! They have couches outside to imbibe in comfort. Plenty of indoor seating also. As we were leaving, a singing duo started to play inside. Great atmosphere!! We'll be back. read more

First time at Twelve @ Fantasy Springs. Had a great view and quiet atmosphere. We came early before the jazz starts. Kayla gave us very good service, found the perfect wine for me. Great service and atmosphere! Going to a concert but kind of wish I was staying up here! read more

A great view, yes, but of Indio. The gem of Fantasy Springs, this lounge is gorgeous, dark, and nearly cavernous. Kinda like Robin Givens. Best of all, twelve floors up, it has great views, with a giant L-shaped balcony (L for "Look! It's the I-10") on one side and glass wall on the other. Plus, a separate game room with shuffleboard and pool table. read more

As a local there really are not that many places to go where you can enjoy a great drink with a spectacular view. The "Sky" lounge is what I call this place and I love it!! The view is spectacular, the staff is very kind, you can smoke a cigar (if you want...I like the smell, it reminds me of grandpa ) it's also quite enough that you can just relax and talk with your friends. My girlfriends are my lifeline and so this is our hangout when we just need to getaway and giggle for a few hours! read more

WOW... absolutely the MOST AMAZING TIME OF MY LIFE. I just turned 21 today and I came to fantasy for my 21st birthday and I went to the bar with the machines in the middle of the floor on the 2nd floor it was okay and I was like let's go to the Twelve I was a little nervous at first but Emmanuel just won over my nerves he just has a home feeling like I just felt so comfortable like it was wonderful he definitely just has the best customer service I have ever seen like it's amazing I am definitely coming back when he is working absolutely the best service I have ever had plus the drinks where absolutely amazing! I wish I could give this 100+ stars but I can't just the most wonderful service I've ever received! Thank you so much! read more

Choice nighttime views, albeit of the Coachella Valley, (hey... I'm not hatin' on the Valley, either Coachella or Morongo. I love 'em both. Especially from the perspective of a city light polluted city boy). A very casual atmosphere and somewhat pricey drinks. Outdoor area for smokers too. I went up solo, just to get a quickie, (drink that is), and see what the view was like. Awesome place when the weather is right. (It was... about 75 degrees at 11:00pm). Will take the wifey up with me next time before she peters out on me. Either that or crank her up on Vodka & Red Bulls early on... read more

This place is on the top of where our hotel is and we wanted to hang out somewhere with alcohol and not gamble. It was empty when we came around 6pm on Wednesday. They don't serve any type of food here BUT I like how you can bring food up here and eat while you drink. Pretty cool view. I would come up here if I wanted to relax and be away from the casino read more

Twelve - Vodka on the rocks - Wine Bars Near Me - Indio, California

I absolutely love this lounge! My boyfriend and I went on Saturday night as a nice way to end our night and we fell in love with the space. A complete difference from the Casino floors below, the lounge was quite, romantic and upscale. Tiffany was working the bar and was absolutely great. She helped us with our wine selections as well as cigar selections and she was fun and good spirited. She also took a few great pictures of us. I would definitely recommend Twelve to couples or small groups. Larger groups might work as well as the lounge wasn't full at all but Tiffany told us on some nights depending on surrounding events going on, it fills up. We will definitely come back the next time we are in town. read more

Went there to grab a night cap. Beautiful views of the coachella valley. Drinks were moderately priced. Bar tender was friendly. Look forward to bringing friends here. read more

The Verde Margarita tasted *only* like celery and celery was not included in the description. It was surprising and really not what I wanted. Posting this more as a PSA than a complaint in case the Verde Margarita sounds good to you - which it does (as described)! Also, it may mean everything else on the menu won't be as described. read more

ZERO STARS!!! We came on a quiet night for one drink for my best friends Bachelorette party. It took them an hour and 20 minutes to get us any drinks. Several parties came in and were served before ours were made. The drinks we finally received were all incorrect and not the right quantity of drinks (8 ordered, 5 given). They tried offering a complementary cheese plate, but charging us an astronomical amount for drinks we didn't order. Terrible customer service and awful managerial customer service on top of it. We'll never be back. read more

I think this lounge is the best thing about Fantasy Springs (and I like the casino). A hidden gem. You won't see any signs for it in the casino itself, so here's what you do. Go to the hotel lobby and hop on the elevator. Take it to the top floor. They open at 5PM, but go when it's dark. You'll be rewarded with a tremendous view. Play pool. Sit outside on the deck or inside on one of the many couches. Candles everywhere. Maybe sit at the bar. Talk with Phillip... a great bartender. Nice guy. Get a glass of the Kim Crawford Pinot Noir and relax. My only complaint... the music. I'd rather hear Downtempo or Jazz in a place like this than Top 40, but... that's just me. read more

Stumbled upon Twelve while out at Fantasy Springs. What a gem of a bar. Mathew was busy but still had time for good conversation and a great Old Fashion. Highly recommend for a relaxing time. read more

First off, this low-key lounge is located in the Fantasy Springs Casino and to get to it you'll need to get to the hotel lobby and take the elevator all the way to the top! I always refer to this spot as the "Sky Lounge" because of how high up it is and has a better ring to it than the aforementioned name. Anyways, this lounge has a relaxing vibe and low lit throughout it. It has numerous couches to sit at with a group of people or by yourself, ranging from indoor to outdoor or at the bar. The restrooms are always clean and above standard! They have one pool table and a shuffle board to play at. I love coming to this place to relax and have a drink with friends. It has great views at night and just being able to sit outside and drink with friends is awesome. They don't have any food up there, so that's probably their only negative. This place is never packed which helps it to keep that low-key, chill vibe. Overall 5 stars because this is a lounge meant to lounge at. Not meant to eat at, club at, get drunk at, or expect a concert at haha read more

Despite the lackluster reviews I actually liked this place. It's perched atop the Fantasy Springs casino and resort and affords great views of the Coachella Valley. Oh, listen to me sounding like one of those real estate magazines! Just kidding. But this place does have an amazing view of the Coachella Valley. That might not sound like much if you're used to amazing skylines like SF, LA, or SD but it was pretty cool to see. The bar wasn't fully stocked with hard to find liquor so if you have an extremely discerning taste this place isn't for you. Like, you're not going to find Bols Genever or Highland Park but if you're willing to bring things down a bit you'll find something. I ordered a couple of dirty martinis and they were fine. However, I also quickly realized that I shouldn't order anything like a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned because it would probably be muddled to death. Everyone knows how to make a dirty martini. The furniture is comfy or you can sit at the bar. The patio area is nice but we went in January so that obviously wasn't an option. I definitely recommend you check out this place when the weather is nice enough to enjoy a few drinks outside. The only downside to this was that there were a few people that were probably overserved. Luckily the law was there to manage things. read more

Very quiet and relaxed place. Well hidden. Definitely come at night when it is not so obvious you are overlooking either a trailer park on one side and a water reclamation plant on the other. Bartender (Kim) was very knowledgeable about her wine list. Jazz soundtrack is a little loud, but there were only 3 other people in here. Comfy couches. Smokehouse Almonds served with drinks. Very pleasant place. read more

If I could do zero stars I would. We came here and waited an hour for drinks with only about 10 people at the bar. Then we got drinks made wrong. We had people show up after us and get served before us. I will never come back. The view wasn't even worth it! read more

We were here the night of 4/12/15. Giving 2 stars purely because of the service from the bartender. I suppose that I should cut him a little slack for it being his first night on the job, but he was downright unprofessional and had absolutely NO clue what he was doing. He barely knew how to pour a glass of wine. It was so pathetic. My aunt & uncle ordered Manhattans and he had to ask how to make them. He didn't know what the difference between shaken and stirred was. It took him over 10 minutes to make 4 drinks. When we got there, he was talking to my husband like they were best friends who just hung out together the night before. It was so bazaar!!! I even asked my husband if he knew the guy. All he talked about was how tired he was etc because of all the other stuff going on in his life. It was pretty uncomfortable. So we had 2 manhattans, 1 well vodka/soda, and a house Chardonnay and it came out to $38.00. Ridiculously expensive in my opinion. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the bartender rung the order up wrong on person and pocketed some of the money. That much money for 4 drinks at a place like this seems incredibly ridiculous. The bartender last night seemed a bit shady, and like I said, he didn't have a clue what he was doing and seemed to barely know his left hand from his right. Very disappointing. When my aunt & uncle were walking away with their drinks, he even asked them to come back so he could get a straw to taste them. We were all shocked and appalled!!!! Who does that??!!!!! Never in my entire life have I met such a dumb bartender. Harsh to say, but the whole experience with him was just unbelievable, and will definitely give us something to look back at for years to come and laugh at... read more

Place was pretty cool, chill atmosphere. They have a pool table, and couches to kick back, have a drink and admire the view of Indio. Was pretty slow on a Saturday night, maybe it was because it was still 100 degrees after 8 pm? If you just want to chill out its a good place to hang out. read more

Went here on Saturday, 1/16/16 right after the Tony Bennett concert. Sat at the bar and was totally ignored by both bartenders. Not even a look my way or something to the effect of, "I'll be right with you." Waited there for 5-7 mintues, still without acknowledgement. A man happened to come right up to the bar and sit next to me, which the bartneder says to him, "I'll be right with you sir" and still doesn't look my way. At that point I got up and walked out. Totally unprofessional and unacceptable. Maybe I didn't fit the part of their regular clientele. Whatever the case may be, they lost out on some business from me that night. read more

Love to go up here to hang out. Great views of the valley with lots of cozy spots to sit inside and out. Drinks are well priced and everyone is friendly. Beautiful inside and out to lounge the night away. read more

I loved this lounge! I like settings that have couches, a terrific view and good drinks!

Great place to hang out! Quiet, comfy place to chill, beautiful view!!! Great drinks!!! Best place that fantasy spring has created!

Best view in Indio!!!! Comfy couches...deeeelicious martinis. Bartenders are very attentive.

Came with the wife after seeing John Legend in concert. We don't drink much so didn't know what to order. Bartender was great and helped us get something. I give him props for the drink and for his funny and interesting conversation. Nothing to complain about here. If I'm ever in town, will definitely come here again. read more
