AMBIANCE Parking: Street parking and plaza parking. You really shouldn't have any issues unless there's a major festival or something. Seating: Plenty of seating! I mainly saw inside seating from groups to bars. Vibes: You're pretty much in Downtown Palm Springs but also prime location for LGBTQ+ nightlife. The spot itself can be chill and not so chill depending on the events. Regardless, I felt welcomed and enjoyed the vibrant and fun energy. The drag brunch was great! The performers brought charisma, comedy, incredible costumes, with plenty of audience interaction. Whether it was your first drag brunch or your fiftieth, the energy made you feel included. DRINKS Mimosa (Recommend) Simple, refreshing, and exactly what you want during brunch. Light, bubbly, and easy to sip while cheering on the performers. CUSTOMER SERVICE Ongina was served as the MC and was great! The servers were pretty cool too. Good banter, pretty friendly and a good flow. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good flavors, great entertainment, and good energy! Whether you're visiting Palm Springs or you're a local looking for a fun Sunday outing or some fun LGBTQIA+ drag brunch entertainment, check this spot out. TIPS * Make reservations for drag brunch--they fill up quickly. * Bring cash to tip the performers.

Certain nights like Thursday, come early as it does get busy. This is my second time coming on a…read more Thursday which we know to come earlier. The first visit, there was a line to get in and from there, a massive line trying to get a drink at the bar. So come early to avoid that. We just wanted to lounge for a bit and grab a drink after dinner. Showed up just after 8:30 which is still early but very easy when we arrived. There was already a good amount of people inside when we walked in. The nice thing, you're able to walk up to the bar and grab a drink pretty fast. It's cash only so be prepared. Inside isn't that big, where the dj booth is. I don't even think it's a dance floor but it could potentially be. They have two bars on either side. But the patio area is where the party happens. It's massive with a good amount of hi top tables with chairs. Also nice to have the fans and mister going in with the heat that's starting to greet us in the desert. Within us arriving, half an hour or so, the place was pretty busy. The line did start to form at the bar which we now are aware. They have different event held different nights during the week. Some are busier than others. I've been with friends where give or take there was a dozen or so of people. Different night have different crowds depending on the events. Of all the times I've been, it's alway been fun. They should have a bar on the patio which will make a huge difference.

I stopped by Tool Shed while in Palm Springs and honestly, it ended up being one of the most…read moreunexpectedly fun nights of the trip. The vibe is super laid-back but still has that classic Palm Springs energy where everyone just seems genuinely happy to be there. It's one of those places where you can show up not knowing what to expect and somehow end up staying way longer than planned. The crowd felt really welcoming, not cliquey at all, which I always appreciate because it makes it easy to relax and actually enjoy yourself. What stood out to me most was how unpretentious everything felt. The bartenders were friendly and quick without making you feel rushed, and the drinks were solid and reasonably priced for the area. There's a nice mix of people, from locals who clearly love the place to visitors just passing through, and it all blends together in a way that feels effortless. The music hit that perfect balance where it keeps the energy up without being overwhelming, so you can still talk and laugh without yelling over it. Overall, this is definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for something a little more low-key but still fun and memorable. It has personality, it doesn't try too hard, and it delivers exactly what you want out of a Palm Springs night. I'd absolutely come back next time I'm in town and honestly wish I had discovered it sooner.

I'm by no means a drag show expert, but I've been to three different shows in SoCal (Long Beach,…read moreSan Diego, and now Palm Springs), and this one really stood out. I really enjoyed the intimate venue. Everything felt up close and personal, and you could tell the performers were genuinely having fun and going all out on stage. What stood out the most was the friendly staff and the overall atmosphere. It didn't feel corporate or like you were being price gouged, which made the experience much more enjoyable. The Kickxy Vixen "Stars of the Desert" show was amazing. So much talent throughout the night, and Violetta and Kickxy were definitely my favorites . Highly recommend going with friends. There were also a lot of locals there, which added to the vibe. I'd absolutely come back again

We went for a bachelorette tonight and the experience was the worse drag show I've been to. One of…read morethe bridesmaids had been in contact with an employee that took her credit card number over the phone and told her we'd have a great bottle service and be seated in the booths. However none of that's was true and no one knew about the bottle service and it was clear it was thrown together quickly. The drag show was not impressive. The queens did subpar dances and mostly just walked around collecting money with very little performance. It was just a huge money grab for the queens and they put no effort in.

The long weekend is here and it definitely showed. After dinner, a wander through Arena area and…read moredrinks was on the itinerary. Literally everyone was out tonight which is good to see. I think the last time it was packed with lines trying to get into all the bars had to have been pride back in November. Or whenever there's an event or king weekend. The area does get pretty busy during the weekend but add a long weekend, it's on. There was a line when we arrived which was just about 9. Compared to all the other bars in the area, this is a video bar versus your clubbing and sort. There's no dance floor. They do have a little stage when karaoke night is going on but daily, it's just a a fun video bar showing all the classics and fun showtunes and musicals. I feel like it could be the start for people for the night with a drink here before heading to the other bars where dancing is available. Line didn't take long, maybe five minutes or so. But once you got inside, it was packed. The only downfall about this establishment, there's not enough bartenders. Usually it's 2/3 working at a time. But when it's packed, you know it can get a little cramped in line...lol... they do have high top towards the back and along the side which they were all utilized. Bar seating is also available but personally for me, it's a bit too cramped as people are literally behind you waiting to order. A nice patio that looks out to the strip so it's perfect for people watching. Also tv are outside as well for the show tunes. Decent amount of cushion seats there as well as some high top tables. The place is fun, not a party scene but if you're into showtunes and musical, it your party scenes. Plus, I love the crowd participation whenever a certain video comes on. A fun bar that's worth checking out. Downfall, restroom line tends to take a while. There's two room but just like any other bar, there's always a wait.

I've lived in Palm Springs for 15 years, and at some point you're going to end up in a gay bar…read more It's part of the culture here. They're everywhere, and they're a big reason the city feels as fun and open as it does. Quadz, right off Arenas Road, is one of those places that clearly has its crowd. One of my closest friends is gay and proudly so, and he brings me here often. I can see why. It's easy, relaxed, and doesn't try too hard. This is not a dance club. It's more of a starting point for the night. You come here first, have a few drinks, settle into the vibe, and then decide where to go next. The drinks are affordable, which never hurts, and people are actually social instead of just staring at their phones. They do karaoke, and it's a mix of everything. Some nights it's locals getting up there, other nights there are hired performers singing throwback 80s songs. In the background, old MTV-style music videos are always playing, which gives the whole place a nostalgic, slightly chaotic charm. I had to laugh when I saw my Yelp bestie, Alex K. from Los Angeles, has written six reviews for Quadz. That alone tells you something. For a lot of people, this is the spot. After spending time here, I get it. It's not about being flashy. It's about being consistent, welcoming, and just plain fun.

I think they've updated the outdoor area which was nice. But inside, it's basically one big room with the bar right in the middle as you walk in. They do have a stage to the side for karaoke just like another bar nearby. It's more of an older crowd compared to Chill bar and Hunters as those are more of a club since they offer dance floors. Here, it just a mingle and drink place where a good amount are locals and then add the holiday makers in when there's a long weekend or event weekend. The crowds are alway fun as everyone is there for the same reason. Inside can get pretty cramped when you walk in as bar seating is utilized and then add the line of people waiting to order. A good selection of music is alway in. Compared to the other place, it's more chill. Either you're starting or ending the night here. But you also have the ones that just comes here as it's more of a lowkey vibe compared to the clubs nearby. It's a fun spot along the strip.

Always the perfect spot for having an afternoon cocktail on Arenas…read more The bartender was a charming man that has been there for years, as a mater of fact everyone has been there for years. The 3pm mid-day found almost every barstool full as well as just a few outer tables. The vibe is subtle and I highly recommend bringing someone to talk too. The bartender was chatty enough but the patrons not so much. I would bet it's the same crowd everyday yet nobody seemed to know each other, just quiet men all looking gayly forward towards the center of the bar. Drinks are delicious and poured generously and if you like the houses favorite brands (all top shelf) then its a pretty good deal. They keep the place tidy, with everything in good working order, the staff is proud and my favorite reason to return.

It's a pretty big bar space. Not your typical bar club scene, but more of a chill bar restaurant vibe. Minus the restaurant as they don't serve food but food can be ordered and delivered to enjoyed from the surrounding businesses next door. All the staffs are so friendly and sweet. I've been coming for a while now and it's like popping into to see a friend behind the counter. The crowd is way more chill and relax versus the bar scene in downtown Palm Springs. It's tends to be more locals that frequent but you do get the out of towner stopping by. Depending on day, they do offered events. Reserved tables are recommended for whatever the event tends to be. Happy hour deals are alway good daily which tends to draw in the crowd. We tend to pop in while happy hour is going on or a night cap after dinner before heading back. It's alway been mellow whenever we stop by which I didn't mind. It's a nice chill bar in Cathedral City.

Of course this place never disappoints. I didn't know that they had a drag show Sunday night. Drag brunch on the weekend they have. We would usually go to the one Friday night. Unless it's for the long weekend or we just didn't know. Anyways it was amazing. It was crowded but not overly packed which was great for getting a seat. I've been where it was standing room only. Still fun but better to have a seat while the show is going on. Vanity Halston, and her dolls are the best. I haven't been to much drag show in the desert but let me say, it's AMAZING here. Friday night is alway a good time and now Sunday, it was a night of fun and fabulousnesses. The dolls were outstanding with their looks and music choices. They all can get the crowd going. Make sure to have the bills ready for the ladies. Also drinks are alway great here. Depending on the night, drinks specials are offered. Plus their happy hour is fantastic as it goes on for a couple hours versus two or three at other places. They do have different events for the week but Friday is normally when we stop by for drinks and a show. Also Monday is great as it's martini Monday. If your here for the show, reservations is recommended if you wanted a table or hi top seating. It does get pretty crowded so open seating is very limited at the bar counter. It's always a fun time had here. Vanity is amazing and the dolls, it just a fun night out. I need to check out drag brunch with them soon. The best in Cathedral City.

Plus the drinks were solid and not crazy expensive like LA prices! We joined this venue for my birthday- My friend made reservation to secure us a seat. We received seats at a bar like seating environment, but there were also tables for larger parties. For those who do not have reservation, if space is available you can curl up to the official bar. Customers seem to pour in about 15 minutes before performances. Mostly parties and/or groups of individuals. The performers were very lively and enjoyable. Especially the MC! From experiencing other places, what I like to see is more performances on stage before they circle the room and take money. The performance from the dance teacher in San Diego was amazing- very artistic. Was happy to see three performances from her! If coming, prepared to have fun and bring some money to show your appreciation for the talented performers. Having a pocket full of dollar bills will get you far!

We didn't have any issues around 10pm. Seating: An intimate lounge for the most part, bar seating, group seating, room for about 50 people total. Vibes: Downtown Palm Springs is an eventful place. Small enough that it's close to the type of vibe you need. As for the space itself, it has a dim lighting, a tv for sports or popular shows if you just want to zone out. You have your usual singers and a good ebb and flow of people trying to catch a song. Karaoke is definitely the heart of this place. Whether someone is absolutely crushing it or having fun with friends, it's a supportive place with good vibes all around. DRINKS Vodka Soda with Lime (Recommend) A simple drink that gets the job done. Cold, refreshing, and well balanced. Just a solid cocktail to help you relax and enjoy the vibes. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly, attentive, and easygoing. DJ is great and same as the servers. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good drinks, welcoming people, and one of those neighborhood bars that doesn't have to be expensive and flashy. Great space where people can laugh, sing, meet new friends, and enjoy a night out. Enjoy! TIPS * Karaoke is the main attraction--don't be afraid to sign up for a song. * Vibes will come in waves, sometimes it's poppin and sometimes its chill.
