I have to say... the standout of the night was the TJ's Forbidden Flame…read more It's one of those drinks that hits you in layers--smooth, a little bold, just the right amount of tropical without being overly sweet. You take one sip and immediately get it. By the second, you're already planning to order another. There's something about it that feels intentional... like it wasn't just made, it was crafted. Balanced, elevated, and honestly unforgettable. If you go, this is the drink. No question. It's not just good--it's the one you'll be talking about after you leave. Thank You Bootlegger Tiki the number one spot to go and

The margarita flight is a must--so much fun and easily one of the highlights of the meal. We also loved the beer tempura avocado bites, which were crispy, creamy, and absolutely delicious. I ordered the trio of quesadillas with carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas. The carne asada and al pastor were packed with flavor, while the carnitas was good but not quite as memorable. My friends had the Mexican ossobuco and enmoladas, and both were big hits. Friendly service, great food, amazing cocktails, and easy parking with the free downtown Palm Springs parking structure nearby. We'll definitely be back!

SHORT ANSWER: Yes in many ways…read more LOCATION: on the corner next to FARM, so a fall back if you do not have FARM reservations and hate disappointment of being turned away. FACILITY: Small, limited seating indoors with very nice, fun, outdoor seating areas. Love this place. MENU: Simple, easy to understand, great photos online if you have any questions. FOOD PREP: Very well done, like professional in just how it looks. FOOD QUALITY: Professional in how it also tastes... Watermelon Gazpacho was perfect with drinks prior to main. LIBATIONS: drinks and bartender were excellent, fun, and the photo print was very cool. WAITSTAFF: just so nice, and fun making the experience all that much better. We have been enjoying The Plaza Theater so spending a little more time in Palm Springs and this will be one of our favorites places to relax prior to an event. OVERALL VALUE: Good, but it is Palm Springs, outdoors, great locations, classy.. no, not inexpensive but well worth it. TIP: I'd say be nice, be patient, and you will get a table. Don't be an angry rude touron, we don't need that vibe and we see some of that in PS.. You can try for reservations, not sure if they take off season.

There aren't many rooftop options in Palm Springs, but this one is a solid choice. Located right on…read morethe downtown strip with beautiful views of the Mt. San Jacinto mountains, this bar and grill offers a fun atmosphere and great scenery. The food is classic bar fare -- nothing groundbreaking, but reliable and exactly what you'd expect. You won't be disappointed, just don't go in expecting the best meal of your life. They also have a wide selection of big, fun cocktails, and the music is loud and upbeat, which adds to the energy. They offer happy hour, they're dog‑friendly, and the vibe is very casual. By night, the space turns into more of a dance‑club atmosphere, so it definitely shifts depending on when you go. A solid rooftop option if you're looking for views, drinks, and a lively scene in Palm Springs.

We live in the area and wanted to give Rooftop 262 a try. The service was very good and our…read morewaitress was sweet. We ordered the shrimp tacos and the 12 inch hot dog with fries. The tacos were decent, however, they were smothered in Chipotle sauce ( too much). Overall, they were good. When the 12 inch hot dog came we laughed because it was no more than 8 inches. It kinda got lost in the longer bun. While it tasted good, we missed out on 4 inches. If you say the hot dod is 12 inches, you should provide 12 inches. Just saying!! Overall our experience was good the food was ok. Not memorable and I'm sure Rooftop 262 will not be on our repeat restaurant list.

It's always a fun spot in Palm Springs. I tend to just hand out along arena district wherever I'm…read morehere for a drink and bar hopping. And I think there's only two places that's somewhat a club. This place and Hunters as they have a dance floor. I could be wrong with the others nearby but they seemed more like bars. The last few times I've been here, sometimes the back bar area is either open or closed. Could be that they're only open during the weekend for dancing and special event. Regardless, it's a fun little spot for a drink. Obviously, depending on when you visit determines the crowd. Mid week is mellow with locals there's for a drink. Weekend tends to bring loads of weekender out for a night of drinking and dancing. Bachelorette party's having the time of their lives. That's when the back bar area is open which they also have another bar there. Dancers are normally on stages shaking their money maker as well. They have two patio with the main one being right along the side of the bar. Back bar patio is smaller and I feel like it's where you would smoke. Decent size bar right when you walk in. Sometimes it's slow grabbing a drink but it's still a nice place. It's always a night out whenever we're here.

Good music, quick service drinks and great bartenders. The Gogo's are fun too!…read more It does get a rowdy "straight" crowd at times and lots of bachelorette groups. Doesn't really feel like a "gay bar" much anymore. Used to come here a lot when we would visit PS. Had a lot of fun dancing. Lately, it feels like it has changed a bit with the folks coming in and the unfriendly patrons. So probably not coming back for awhile.

Dark Cocktail lounge on the verge of thinking themselves a Speakeasy, but would never call…read morethemsevles that, but just classic Palm Springs lounging. If you didn't know better you'd think you were in LA in the summer, excepty for the bocce ball. They have an excellent selection of spirits, cocktails. Maybe a little varied, but decently creative. The only thing that gets me is pricing. Sure you pay for everything for decor, glassware and not just spritis, but I recall wondering how they price their drinks becuase not everything is equal or standard mark up when some things aren't house made it's easy to cost out becuase you stop paying for creativity after a certain point. It feels like they took alot of Mr. Lyons business model and use that for pricing rather than a sole entity with their own margins. The service makes up for it, the ambiance makes up for it. The crowd makes up for it. Far less wrinkled and aging snowbirds and retirees circling the drain in their waning days. People dressing up and celebrating, genuine convivialness abounds with most guests. It's not somewhere else trying bring that vibe here, it's pretty authentic. It's separate from nextdoor other than shared bathrooms, so don't be surprised when you feel like your in a different world. Most people who wander between the 2 take pause and awe for a few seconds before their mood shifts to match the room. Not a place to get sloppy and party that way unless it's a closed event. It's a great, classic PS lounge for when you have 2 groups of friends who you can entertain, the steakhouse crowd for dinner and the loungers beforehand. Sunsets on the patio under the string lights and couches is rich backyard summertime vibez.

Do not let the location detour you at all…read more This review comes from somebody that grew up in the San Francisco area and has gone on food trips all over New York, Louisiana, Texas, Illinois, Florida, Hawaii, N/S Carolina, Arizona and Iowa, from Michelin rated restaurants to funky little places that we hear about from locals.. we try it all. 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! Paul the owner who is very sweet is always there and oversees everything in his own quiet way to make sure everything is running smoothly and that his guests are happy, Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is the place to go for really great food, a fun time and an immersive experience and I promise you'll come back

The combination of great food, creative tropical drinks, and an outstanding staff keeps us coming back time and time again. One of our absolute favorites is the Pupu Platter (shown below) It's perfect for sharing and gives you a delicious variety of appetizers all in one fun presentation. Every dish is consistently flavorful, and the cocktails are always expertly crafted. What really sets Tonga Hut apart is the atmosphere. Palm Springs has a vibe unlike anywhere else, and Tonga Hut captures it perfectly. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and genuinely seems happy to be there, which makes every visit feel special. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a longtime regular, you're treated like family. If you're visiting Palm Springs and looking for a place with great food, fantastic drinks, and an unforgettable tiki experience, Tonga Hut should be at the top of your list. We'll definitely keep coming back for years to come!

Man, what happened to this place? It used to be a great spot to soak in the tropical atmosphere,…read moresuck down a couple classic tiki drinks, and nosh on the ever-popular pu pu platter. While the first two points are still valid, the food has gone downhill in a big way. It's now $27 for the pu pu platter and it tastes like they bought everything from Costco. Cheap quality frozen garbage. My "beef skewer" looked like a stray flap of rubber from a discarded tire. The chicken was a fat, ugly blob. Coconut shrimp is clearly of the frozen variety. Same for the egg roll. Look, I get it, some foods just come frozen. But this place also has a kitchen, this is a signature appetizer, and there's no reason you can make this stuff fresh, on hand, on the day. I'm fed up with places that raise prices and lower quality and the only way they listen is by doing this.
