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.

Walked in feeling great, walked out with duct tape residue on my shorts. Bold choice, Chill Bar…read more The good stuff first & there are many good things: strong drinks, a genuinely fun and friendly crowd, and a patio that's beautiful under the string lights at night. No complaints on vibe or service. But we need to talk about the furniture. I sat down on a booth that crackled like it was held together by a single roll of duct tape and sheer optimism. The patio chairs are in the same boat; wobbly stools held together by a prayer, and what looks like clearance-rack lawn furniture. This is Palm Springs, a town famous for its mid-century modern design, and the seating currently looks like it lost a fight with a garage sale. I'll absolutely keep coming back and recommending this place. The atmosphere and people are worth it, but the furniture needs an upgrade to match everything else this place has going for it. Would come back, might bring a cushion just in case.

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.

I can honestly say that many of the negative comments seem more likely to come from competitors or people with an agenda than from actual patrons. We love the DJs, the drinks, and the overall atmosphere. The staff and customers are kind, approachable, and respectful. I'm also happy to see so many women enjoying themselves and feeling welcome there. It's always a fun, inclusive place to spend an evening. Cheers!

One of my favorite place along the Arena district in Palm Springs. It could be my favorite. The…read morecrowd is alway lively and fun. Everyone is all there for the same reason, the showtunes and music videos. The weekend does tend to be the busiest as it seems like this is the starting point for a lot of people and then work their way bar hopping. They normally have a security out front checking bags if you bring one in. The line for the drinks does get pretty busy as there normally 2 bartenders working. I don't even think that 3 work the same time. Also, there's the two section where you order drinks. It takes a while as they wait for you to complete the transaction before another order is taking place. Some places can do two things at once but here, I feel like they have to complete an order before proceeding to the next. Drinks are pretty affordable which I feel like that's why people start the night off here. There's a decent amount of seating along the wall as well as hi top tables to the side. If you're lucky enough to get the bar counter, it's also helpful with getting drinks faster. I think they do showtunes a couple of nights throughout the week. I've been other days and they're ok but when it show tunes, it's pretty packed. Hence we like coming here.

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.

Depends on what night you visit, karaoke happens. It could also be a slow night where's it's pretty mellow. The last few times we popped in, the place was packed. It's not overly big so it does get crowded. The vibe is mellow and everyone is all there for the same reason, to have a good time. Theres normally only two bartenders working so getting a drink can be a hassle if it's packed. Seating is limited as well with majority of them are hi top tables along the wall area. Decent size patio out front for smoker and if you want fresh air. It's alway a fun place if you want to start your night off before hitting the bars nearby.

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 still a place that nice to just stop by and grab a drink. Depending on the day/night it can get pretty busy if something is going on. Different events tends to have all the tables reserved. Sunday afternoon we walked in after an early dinner which there was a good amount of people already. Not overly busy but a good crowd. Bartenders are alway sweet and fun. Lively and friendly. Guest, a lot tends to be locals and regular as they pretty much know each other. The crowd is mixed. It was a little surprise but also nice to see Christmas in July. They had the place hanging with holiday wreaths which I believe is part of a contest and charity. Also, a backpack drive for kids before school. It's good to see that places like this would host events for charity. Roost lounge isn't a wild party place but they have fun their way and the people love it.

The gentlemen I spoke with were very kind and welcoming. If it wasn't for their professionalism and eagerness to ensure we could still get a seat for an almost fully booked appearance with Jay Rodriguez, we wouldn't have drove that far. Upon arrival Demetrius seated us. He was so welcoming and nice. Their drinks are on par, and quickly served. There is a lot of seating here. They have a stage as well with a really nice bar. Jay was great as well. Would love to see him again. Thanks

This place has been visited frequently lately. All started with walking in one day which happened…read moreto be happy hour to finding out about drag night. It's been very fun. Monday night was another thing. We just wanted to stop in for a drink which we found out it was martini Monday and show tunes. Kind of a match made in heaven...lol... And I believe it was happy hour all night as well. Martinis special starts at 8.00 I think, depending on what you want. It wasn't crazy busy but a good amount of people. A fairly good amount of tables occupied and the bar area was very much utilized. One person's bartending while another was out on the floor taking orders. Dirty martini extra olives for the win. Quite tasty with either vodka or gin. I mean for the price, it was nice. The service was great and everyone was pretty friendly. Bar area is well maintained as well as both inside and the outside patio. Only downfall, the show tunes being shown was a little underwhelming. There's other bars not far that is a little better but the drink special that night was great. We're slowing checking out the entertainment schedule and each night that we've been has been fun. So far, LOVE Friday night with the queens. If you want a fun and amazing night with a fantastic show, come Friday night. Seats can be reserved for groups or individuals or open seating along the bar if you can find one. Some nights are quiet but lively during happy hour. It's also a place that has a long happy hour compared to 2 hours at most places. They like to have fun and entertain. It seems more of the locals and regulars that frequent this place. Not crazy wild but fun. Plus nice happy hour.

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!
