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.

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.

It's a decent size bar with a nice patio seating that looks out to the street. Great for people watching. They also have a television outside if you wanted to watch sports which usually is what's on. It's located towards the end or the beginning of the festival depending on which side you enter. It's where all the food carts and truck is located. Security is usually out front checking id when you come in. He's quite nice. Inside is mainly the whole bar. You have the bar counter and a couple of hi top tables. Not fancy but it's nice. Television are also inside if you wanted to watch the game of some sort, and there's ac. I could be wrong but I think there's a back patio as well. I've never been but it somewhat looks like it while waiting at the counter to order. The bartender is alway very sweet. It's normally the gal working everytime we've been. Very friendly and knows everyone. Seem like this place has their regulars. The restrooms are located in the back. It's a decent bar, neighbors bar along the main strips. Feel like it tends to be regulars. Decent size patio out front that's great for people watching. I think you could also have food as someone had delivery drop off some yesterday.

Walked into the Yucca Bowling Alley for the first time not knowing what to expect and was…read morepleasantly surprised by the modern, tidy bar and billiards set up tucked away inside. I was one of the first patrons there for the evening and was immediately greeted by one of the women bartending for the night. She saw my interest in the pool tables and laid out the pricing: $4/30min or $8/hr. I went ahead and paid for 2hrs of play and was handed a box of billiard balls with my choice of a table. I was introduced to the full bar, the well stocked fridge filled with beers, seltzers and wines and the specials for the weekend. As the night developed, more and more groups came in, ordered drinks and sat around the bar and tables with plenty of seating and tables available for everyone to hang out comfortably without being on top of one another. My only recommendation for this place when it does get busier, is that they have a designated ordering section at the bar where people can't sit so that those wanting to order or close their tabs can easily get to the bartender without having to awkwardly cut through people that are sitting there. Otherwise, this is a solid spot to hang out and have a couple casual drinks with a divey ambience and local feel.

A girl with a nose ring dark hair clocked in and was even more rude. Was very annoyed she had to wait on us. Slammed things down and around. It was clear she was having a bad day and didn't want to be there. However another girl who was cleaning behind the bar was very nice she answered all our questions and was super friendly. I had family visiting and this was just not the vibe I was hoping for. When family visits again we will go back but not to this bar we will definitely try the restaurant instead. It was nice views though and maybe just an off day for them so hopefully they don't treat everyone like that. The wine was also good.

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.
