My husband found Red Barn close so we walked there (we Uber'ed from our resort to the other bar). From the moment we walked in I was wow'ed!! It is a total vibe. All of the decor was fun and so different than any other bar I've been to. Even the bathrooms had their own charm and personality. They had a DJ spinning that night (Saturday). All of the guys working there were so friendly and outgoing. Great service too! I highly recommend visiting when in the area.

But why keep the reason the guys are trying to get in to spend money on.. outside? Don't really understand the bouncers mentality, girls always get right in. Forgot to mention bartenders are some of the rudest most unhappy, unsocial bunch I've ever encountered and you can hear other people hating the experience while you wait for your drinks. Great decor and music though!

The Music is a lot of mariachi music, multiple mariachi songs full blown mariachi style, with extremely loud glass tapping by the bartender with a spoon and a bottle. (If you're into that obnoxious style I guess this is your spot) It just doesn't seem very upscale to me, but the prices are thats for sure. I don't think they use the air conditioner in the summertime either, or maybe just very slightly....

We had a great time celebrating my birthday here! The restaurant was packed on a Friday night in…read moreAugust, so it was definitely loud and busy, but the service was excellent and the atmosphere was fun. We started with the Burrata with Heirloom Tomato and Beef Carpaccio, both of which were delicious. We also had the Lobster Roll, Zucchini Noodles with Shrimp, and the Grilled Skirt Steak with truffle shoestring potatoes -- the skirt steak was especially good! We also tried a sushi tuna roll, which was another great addition to the table. The drinks were fantastic, and everything came out tasting fresh and well prepared. To top it all off, they brought out a nice little lemon cake for my birthday, which was a really nice touch. Overall, even though it was crowded and loud, we had a great experience. Great service, amazing food and drinks, and a fun Friday night atmosphere. Definitely a good spot for a celebration!

My youngest loved her spaghetti and meatballs and she is usually pretty picky about pasta. I had the butternut squash ravioli and they were rich, creamy, and exactly what I wanted. My wife ordered the miso glazed seabass and she loved it. I stole her bok choy and that made me very happy. The restaurant is really clean with a laid back contemporary vibe and great music. The AC at our first table was blasting cold air right on us and the staff moved us right away with no issue at all. They were also incredibly kind to my youngest whose birthday we were celebrating. They surprised her with her favorite tiramisu and a candle which completely made her night. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We will 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.

These bars often have a no-frills atmosphere, welcoming regulars and offering a casual environment". With the exception of being shabby, I think the "Desert Fox Bar" meets this definition. It's not fancy, but it's clean--even the bathroom. My friends and I go out to the desert for golf trips, and we usually spend one evening here. The beers are cold, the mixed drinks are strong, and the prices are reasonable. The locals are friendly.

Service is always consistent and professional. Their staff is well trained and accommodating, often anticipating our needs before we do. They all work together to make things runs smoothly. We always start with the Coconut shrimp, Ahi and Mahi Mahi tacos. If they have Halibut go for it. The Blue Crab & Avocado salad is refreshing light and filling. We always order the Pina Colada Cake and Key lime pie to go. I am not a fan of waiting but in season at least you can walk around the Gardens on El Paseo. Use Open table and book a reservation to avoid the wait.

Wine bar doesn't open till 5 which was when happy hour started. For the first hour, they had wine, well drinks and draft beer. A few small plates also offered. It's a wine and tapas bar. It's along El Paseo before you hit the main shopping area, depending on which way you come. Entrance has a nice wall created by ficus trees and mister spraying to keep you cool. There's a decent patio with a good amount of seating. Inside is where the party is. The place is set with two seating area. Right when you walk in is the bar. A good amount of hi top seating and tables. Hi top seating that are along the window were actually very uncomfortable. Padded seats were so narrow that seating was so uncomfortable but oh well. There's the other room seating area which houses all the wine on shelves. I believe it's also a wine store but that sectioned was closed for a private event. We just wanted a drink before dinner so no food was had. From the looks of the dishes that were coming out, they looked really nice. Tapas style dishes made for sharing. With happy hour, there was a couple dishes that was included. Also they offered a deal with a charcuterie board and a bottle included. We just went with a glass of their house red and white. And an order of spicy margaritas. It's a full bar so that was nice. Margaritas were great and house wine was decent. The service was great with the bartender who was a doll and very sweet. Made drinks and still had time to come check out on people. It was still early but it did pick up for happy hour which is from 5-6 right when they open. The place was quite nice and well decorated. Beautiful wine bar that's great for mingling with friends over food drinks and tapas. Will definitely be back for some food.
