Recently stayed at Ace for a wedding and while I love the atmosphere and drink's however the bartender with the beard (I believe his name was Elias) was far too drunk to be bothered by anyone besides giving out his number to women. While I love the free shots he was giving out it just came off as ... messy. Every thing else was great! Clean pool, nice rooms, cool dj's would stay again! Just hope Ace gets rid of the bad apples read more

Omg this spot is popping !!!! It's a hidden gem , come for the afternoon pool party or late night music at the amigo room , ask for my boy Elias who for sure will hook you up !!!!! Great vibes for sure !!!! read more

Excellent service. Cutie-pa-tu-tie. Weekend vibe is emaculant. Highly recommend. Thanks for the delicious drinks Elias

We came in for a drink and no one could be bothered to come out and help us. Bar was empty - except for a DJ. He even went back to grab someone and they literally came out, looked at us, shrugged their shoulders, and left. Clearly we weren't blessed as being cool enough for them to be motivated to help. read more

I love the remodel and decor. The bartender was helpful with suggestions. It was a very calm night, I'd like to come back when it's more lively. read more

Nice cool & dark bar to escape the heat! They definitely have their AC on more than other places. Good amount of seating, good music, fun photobooth. I ordered a gummy flavored sour beer and onion rings. Both super good! Overall would recommend looking for a bar in the area. read more

What a loss. Why, why would you replace such a historic bar with what looks like a Courtyard Marriott. The long bar is replaced with a corner bar and 4 stools. It's awkward sitting there. Now everyone's just kinda sitting in a room. It feels exposed and stuffy. At least keep the long bar and the table booths for conversational privacy or something! What the heck happened? We were heartbroken. Heartbroken. The era of the Ace Hotel that once was, is no longer. Shame. read more

Jared took care of us during our stay at The Amigo Room! Great cocktails, great atmosphere, and excellent service. He's the man! Love the Ace Hotel. We'll definitely be back. read more

Still in disbelief they tore down one of the coolest bars in Palm Springs to make THIS. The lighting is oddly fluorescent, the drinks are overpriced, and the decor looks thrown together with random target furniture. Amigo room used to rock read more

Lame spot. Amigo should be replaced with Apathy. Apathy Room. Yes, that's it! Bartender was super unenthusiastic and was mostly concerned about happy hour ending in 15 minutes and not taking drinks outside. The lightning was weird too. You know when you're at a dance club and at the end of the night they turn on the bright lights to clear everyone out? That was it, that lighting, ya know? I thought the place was lame. Probably two stars, but I'm feeling magnanimous today, maybe 2.5 stars? Time to do a refresh and breath some life back into the Apathy Room, my friend. 2 stars read more

Upgrade central such a beautiful rebrand. The space feels huge. Can't wait to go back.

Idk why, or what monster decided this was okay, but ruining the most unique, dark, fun and exciting looking bar this desert had to offer, with something that looks like it belongs at a Hyatt, NO. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! Lost all its charm and character, FOR A BLAND ASS LOUNGE? Yuck. Even Kings Highway looks like a dennys now with a shitty ass door out of nowhere, and no connection to the bar and outside area. Way to destroy a cool open concept. read more

Walked in and managed to meet several others from our hometown. The vibe was pretty chill despite the DJ on a Sunday evening. Bartender was fantastic and attentive. Great beverages and everyone just looked happy to be there. Will absolutely return when we come back to Palm Springs. read more

Scuttled in just my luck to trivia night! Occupied a corner booth with my orange wine by myself. Could not participate due to my unfortunate thin breadth of data on earlier American pop culture but happily observed the festivities. Orange wine was tasty. The food was unnervingly overpriced. Bartender was friendly. Atmosphere was lively. Queen hostess really brought the roof down. Was accused of espionage by my suspicious booth neighbors due to my single company but that only delighted me. Noticeably older and queer crowd but that's what I assumed Ace Hotel was known for hosting. Great night :) read more

This place used to be the hangout spot, not sure what happened... I won't be coming back here though. Unless there's some kind of amazing event or DJ but for any regular weekend I certainly won't be here. Their drinks are not tasty, I tried their Paloma and it was awful, I try their margarita that was also awful it tasted so cheap, thought I would grab a beer only to find out they don't carry mango cart anymore like they used to what the hell? They also don't carry Stella what the hell? All around it was just not vibing. And whatever DJs they have here have been pretty whack the last DJ I saw was this recent Saturday, October 15 & he was super whack. They need to bring back DJ day and DJ ODC though I know that will never happen; they're too good for this place now lol. read more

This used to be a go to spot for me but they have changed all of their signature cocktails. Didn't love what we got. Stick to your go to drink instead of trying their signature cocktails--they've changed from years past and just don't hit the mark. Cute bar and nice staff but now it's way too bright in there! Used to be a dark bar with candlelight. Photobooth is still worth a stop in. read more

Such a great little local hot spot. We came here with a couple local folks. What an amazing spot to hang out with throw back ambiance and great tasting drinks. The staff are right there to offer drinks, but leave you alone to have good conversations. We had a great crescent booth which just added to the charm of this tuck away bar. They have great craft beer selections, along with great inspired cocktails. We will definitely be back to this location the next time we come back to Palm Springs. read more

We did a lot of drinking and hanging out here when we were waiting around or after the wedding. And one thing we all noticed: Full of weird people There's no ventilation Smells like fart Let's just say there were a lot of weird hippie people or people on drugs at the Ace hotel and ventured their way into the bar. It was quite packed on Friday and Saturday. They had a band play and took up half the space. Place was extremely crowded/stuffy with bad ventilation and smelled like someone farted a lot. We were turned off at getting a mixed drink since it cost about $12-15, so we stuck with beer. read more

NOTE: Bingo and trivia are no longer held here since COVID. Nice quiet spot with a good atmosphere and great service.

Speaking as a guest staying at the Ace Hotel, this place was a ton of fun and a good time. However, I don't know if I would go out of my way for this bar if I weren't staying just a few feet away. I came here with a group on a crowded Saturday night and the best part was seeing the DJ playing some vinyl records. The music was right in my alley, complete with disco, 80's hair metal, and some other funk that got people moving. Fit right in with that desert, "stuck in a different time period" feel of Palm Springs. Definitely fun to people watch! That being said, the service wasn't that great and the drinks weren't particularly special. For the atmosphere and a quick drink though, it might be worth stopping by. read more

Linda Bingo! Yeah that's right...Monday night bingo with Linda. She was amazingly funny and entertaining. She hosts free bingo night on Mondays at the Amigo Room and the prizes were things such as koozies, boxed wine, champagne, chips, and pies. What fun! Waiters and bartenders were super nice. They have a unique bar menu, but we were so focused on bingo, we stuck with the basics...fries and bean dip, both of which were really delicious. They have a few beers on tap and a few more bottled varieties. Dive bar diner in the desert. It's decor reminds me of El Dorado in SD. Sure, maybe I didn't feel hipster enough for this place, but it was still a great time. read more

Where else in the desert would you find: A) not only strong and good cocktails and B) a strong play list? No where! I am a music nerd and pretty much a music snob on top of that. I'll snub off any crap music and that is why one of the main reasons I loathe venturing out to bars in the desert! NOT ANY MORE! While chatting it up with some friends here we heard Dungen!! I was shocked!! Where else could one get Bjork, Beta Band, Dungen, Neil Diamond and Hercules and Love Affair in the desert? That is just to name a few... Best part came when we danced our arses off to a DJ set done by Susan in Accounting!! My only regret was that I didn't try the Jack and Lavender. The bf said no to Jack because I turn into "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde".. I think not but whatever. I was on a Tinto de Verano kick and didn't want to mix! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4TTXYKViIc read more

Earlier this month, I spent the weekend with girlfriends at The Ace Hotel. We economized by doing a lot of our drinking in the room, but we stopped by the bar on our way out our second night. We had one round of cocktails and one round of tequila shots before we got our cab. I liked the bar's dark, intimate atmosphere, its cozy lighting and comfortable booths. It was small and easy to access, right by the lobby, and I can imagine stopping by for a drink any time of day. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday night, and the bartender was nice. I wasn't quite sold, though, on any of the drinks. I went straight for the Figa, a cocktail of fig-infused vodka with Earl Grey tea, orange juice, and muddled orange and fig. It was okay, but not as good as it sounded. The drink was very sweet, like liquid Fig Newton, without much balance. It was also garnished with a couple dried figs, which was a good idea until the figs got hard and bitter and inedible. The Blood Orange Caipirinha was on the other side of the spectrum. It was pretty decent, cachaca mixed with blood orange and lime, but it was very strong. Don't get it if you don't like the taste of cachaca. The best of our drinks was the Cool Hand Luke. This had gin and St. Germaine elderflower liqueur with muddled mint and cucumber and a splash of soda. It was cool indeed, smooth and refreshing, made like the $10 cocktail it was. On the whole the drinks were unimpressive, and to underline this, our round of shots came out very lukewarm. They were big shots, which was nice, but drinking room temperature tequila is a little like shaving with a rusty dull blade. Just, why? Anyway, it was still a fun place with pleasant atmosphere, and it was a worthwhile stepping stone between dinner and Zelda's. If you're staying at The Ace, you might as well check it out. read more

When my friend told me that we were heading for drink at the Ace Hotel, the amount of prompting she gave me about how hipster this location was not NEARLY enough. Off the charts! As someone who is not into crowds, and prefers my bar scene to quiet and conversational, I am really glad that my first experience at the Amigo Room was in the dead of a SoCal winter. Even for a random Saturday in January, the bar was pretty full with another 20 or so people sitting outside, crowded around heaters. In the summer, I can only imagine what the bar looks like (and it terrifies me). I agree with Glen N. There definitely was a sewer-y smell here, like an overly dank basement. Since I paid a hefiter price for a well drink and a beer, I would like my drinking experience to not be marred by the smell of old pool. We arrived here earlier, around 8:30, but before we had officially left around 10, the people started streaming in. If there is an event at the hotel, the crowds usually end up here and fast. I enjoy the hipster ambiance of antlers, old lamps, weird statues, and "mixology" just as much as the average Angeleno. But this was not a place that i would come back to. I know that Palm Springs can be a haven for the young and carefree to escape Los Angeles for a weekend, but I personally subscribe to the lifestyle of Palm Springs retirees: quiet, quant, and preferably pool side. This is not it. read more

This was an interesting place some good singing, not to bad of singers when we were there, fun place to people watch. Drinks were not good, when you went to the bar to order drinks they were quick to attend to you, but def needs help in making better drinks. Overall not a bad place, could be fun if you were with a group and liked singing. read more

I wanted to really like this place. Dark, dungeony, basement like, the DJ spun some good soul, RnB, lounge house, but the drinks and appetizers killed it bad. The raw? Drinks sucked royally. Either the recipes are whack or the bartenders need to return to school. Chips (not complimentary), tacos (one bite wonders with hardly any filling), salsa and ceviche (in tiny tins the size of hot sauce you'd get from a hole in the wall 24hr Mexican food restaurant) were only tolerable. Maybe... just maybe, on a different night with different bartenders and only drinking bottled beer it would be better. But that kinda defeats the purpose of the place having a happy hour with food and their own mixed drink recipes. read more

Hipster, dark, and cozy with interesting menu, but every once in a while there was a sewage smell. My wife insisted that the smell was coming from the garnish station beside me, but that could not have been it, unless they put poo in drinks, unless they're serving poodrivers or Maker's Make. I want to give it two stars (for the number two smell), but I settled on three because it is otherwise great. As for drinks, the first one was stiff, the second one was not (Excuse me, where's that Asian bartender? He left? Dang.) read more

Although I Love the Ace hotel, I can't say the same about it's bar. Its super small which is fine but even the energy of it is really weird. We came 2 different nights and didn't really care much for it either night. One night had an awful Dj that played "experimental" music, whatever the hell that is, and the other night was some stand up comedy which was only funny to the comedians friends. If your staying at the hotel I guess it's a place to grab a drink but recommend moving elsewhere after. Coming here for a night out wouldn't be a good idea. read more

This is a cool little spot. Second trip to the Ace and a friend recommended we try this bar. It was empty! I kid you not! But they insisted that it's a hopping spot every night, especially during karaoke. I trust them and didn't mind that it was empty when I came. I really just wanted a beer and to catch up with my friend. I will have to say that I can't wait to come back to visit and see what this place is like at night. It has small quarters, so wondering how so many people can squeeze into this joint? Only one way to find out. Next trip! read more

A little bit of a hippster bar. Staff is descent and prices are a little high. Cool dark vibe. Went last week and heard some talented karaoke singers who all seemed like regulars. I would like to see the Karaoke again. Small lot with free parking. No cover charge. read more

As CV bars go, they have ingredients other bars don't have. They have a hipper look than most bars. But it's still a hotel bar--which is great on Trivia Night. Vacationers like to drink, so if you stay (relatively) sober you can win a hefty bar tab on Monday nights! Staff are friendly some days, indifferent on others. Some nights everyone gets their drinks served in plastic cups (perhaps they don't want glass by the pool if we decide to go outside); other nights my companion and I have been the only ones drinking out of plastic cups. Those other nights are frustrating, especially when we see young folks in swim trunks drinking beer in a pint glass while the bf drinks his fancy whiskey from a plastic cup. The events they host can be pretty cool. The aforementioned Trivia Night with Bella de Ball is a blast. Coachella-related events sound fun but get a little too crowded and too cool for me. DJ nights skew young, but there are always a few older hotel guests who stop in to keep the room interesting (and make me feel less self-conscious). read more

Stopped by the Amigo Room after a visit to Joshua Tree in the middle of the day on a Monday. It had a great vibe, a friendly mixologist, and the cocktail menu was full of fun and innovative cocktails, and each one that we tried was delicious. We also ordered the baked date appetizer to nibble on, and it was pretty good. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in PS, and recommend to others passing through. read more

A solidly hip bar in the Ace Hotel. We went during the end of modernism week and the small indoor room was filled. Loved that they had live music, and the singer was really great -- not too loud, super talented, actually contributed to the experience rather than detracting. The only thing is that she was unfortunately shoved into a corner. Spacing is limited here, but I wish they could have given her more room, poor thing. If it's too crowded inside, venture outside and enjoy your drink by the pool -- there's plenty of bench seating and heaters. The cocktail menu is interesting, but I found the service bizarrely cold. It didn't seem like they were very busy (most clientele seemed to already have their drinks and were chatting), but it was a little hard to get someone's attention and they seemed pretty dismissive. I do love the taxidermied bear a lot. read more

Checked out Amigo Room again last night and it was a much better experience! They had a DJ spinning disco mixes throughout the night which I enjoyed! They had tables in the middle of the bar, but moved them out as more people started to arrive, and as more people started to dance lol. We had an awesome bartender for the night, which was Daved, who I happened to know! He mixed the drinks very well, and I would highly suggest ordering The Gold Digger. That's his own concoction, and it's actually very good. I was eyeing that drink on the menu, but since I saw Scotch..I avoided it. Daved ended up making it, which I'm glad he did! Probably the best drink I had (out of 3). Hopefully whenever you decide to check out Amigo Room..you'll have Daved as your bartender. If you go at night, I would suggest going a bit earlier to get some seats. Not the biggest bar in the world. read more

The Glass Menagerie. We headed into this darken cavern of a bar after having dinner next door at King's Highway. It was Karaoke night, and things were about to get crazy up in here. Looking around at the clientele, it was like the island of misfit toys. I felt at home immediately. We snagged a corner table, stage left, as others exited, and ordered drinks. My friends put in their song requests. The drinks were perfectly made with a heavy hand. The crowd was super fun and energetic. We felt comfortable enough to bring out our traveling dolls, and people even sang to them! I loved this place. We ordered a second round and enjoyed singing and performances. At one point I tried balancing my doll on a pint of beer, and all went south. Beer everywhere!!! As the beer dripped off the end of the table, another customer at the table next to us threw a pile of his napkins at us. We'd already used up the ones at our table. The DJ refused to try to help, and spent all her time playing with her glass menagerie and her old phonograph records. read more
