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.

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.

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

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!

It does get lively and busy during the weekend especially when the show tunes are on. I believe it's Friday, Saturday and Monday but I could be wrong. More of a layback crowd. Not your club scene type. Drinks are cheap which is always a plus which the locals tend to be here. A place where you start the night off before hitting the other bars/club. Getting a drink can be a little of a hassle as there's normally two bartenders working. Sometimes three but normally I see two. I love that when some of the videos come on, it also becomes audience participation. The crowd joins along with the singing. A decent size patio that looks out to the street perfect for people watching. There's also a couple of television outside as well. Certain night is also karaoke which is pretty fun too. This place is always a must whenever we're here and wanted a good place to start the nights. Music, show tunes and cheap drinks. Cant go wrong with that at the start of the night.

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.

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.

Everyone is also so sweet and friendly. Also the music is always good. There's different event happening nightly depending on what day you visits. Tonight was a sing along with a band that pays tribute to the 80's. We didn't stay that late as we just wanted a drink and then leave. From what I've heard, it's alway a fun event each time something goes on. And it does get quite busy. A fun neighborhood bar/restaurant that's quite fun.

This visit, Friday night and just wanted to stop somewhere for a cocktail. As we enjoyed our last visit, it was nice to stop by again. But this time it was in the evening and happened to be drag night. We didn't know what was going on until we walked in. It was pretty lively so I recommend coming early. I think earlier they have drag race on and then starting at 9pm is when the drag show starts. You can reserve seating and a table but they also have first come seating in i believe. We got lucky as there were two seat open at the bar counter. Drinks are good and affordable. The crowd was a mix which was fun. There was plenty of dollar bills in hand. Show did start a little after 9 but it was so much fun and worth it. It was our first time and let me say, we will be telling people about it and bringing them with us. The showgirls were all amazing and excellent song choices. Costumes were quite nice and very elaborated. The hostess was a major doll and it happened to be her birthday that night. Even after performing, she still mange to come and chat with people which was nice getting to know her. The show was so fun and I highly recommend it. It's free to get in but make sure to have your cash ready for the entertainment. RSVP seats and table are also available.
