High Bar - a person holding a drink with a slice of lemon on top - Bars Near Me - Palm Springs, California

My bestie and I always visit Palm Springs for our annual girls getaway and we visited High Bar for the first time this past Saturday! We absolutely loved this place! Loved it so much we have officially added it to our "a must visit" spot for us! The things that immediately stood out for us was the manager RAMON! He is exceptional at hospitality!!! We hadn't sat down for but 10 seconds before he greeted us with a smile and asked how our day was and if there is anything we need to let him know. Second thing that stood out was the drinks and food! I need to get their Cosmo martini recipe because it was stellar! The fries I wanted more of because they were that good. The ambiance was poppin! Clean, fun, beautiful views. Just wow! Music was on brand with the look and feel of the place. We ended up going back to have dinner at Saints and Ramon also was there and helped me find the backing of my earring which I thought was lost forever. We were on my way out and he came chasing me down to hand me the backing of my earring. He found it and went out of his way to give it to me. We will be recommending this place and to be sure to tell everyone to say hi to Ramon. read more

2 of us arrived on a Saturday around 4:30 and took the elevator from the lobby of the Rowan Hotel to the rooftop bar. Many seating areas, mostly full at this point, however, we were able to snag a table just past the pool area with a view of the museum trail part of the mountain. FOOD: We only got the chips, salsa and guacamole, but the chips were fresh, the guacamole was fresh and the salsa had wonderful flavor and a chunky texture (which we like). BAR: The wine is a bit pricey (as is typical for a pool side type menu) at $14 a glass, served in the non breakable glassware with no stem, average pour. Limited options. The beer is a good value, $8. There was also a cocktail menu made available. SERVICE: When we first arrived, we were greeted by a friendly employee who explained the various dining/drinking locations - 4 to choose from! We chose the rooftop. Alvaro arrived shortly after we sat down to take our order. After a few minutes he came back with a question and then the drinks within 5 minutes after that. He appeared to be the only one attending to the entire section we were in, which included several high top tables along the wall, many tables for 4, lounge type seats and also a section which surrounds the fire pit. He was hustling for sure, took a bit longer to get the check but we could see him hopping from table to table, clearing off the vacated spots in addition to assisting customers with their orders. They really need one more person to help with this section. ATMOSPHERE: Can't beat the scenery! Beautiful views of the mountains no matter where you choose to sit. There are larger seating areas to accommodate 6-8 and smaller ones for just 2. 2 different bars to choose from once you get to the roof area. read more

I'm sure some would find the appeal of the pool + drink + food combo - but we stopped after hearing great things about their drinks on the rooftop. My group of 7 was sorely disappointed. All the cocktails were SO SWEET! Like.... they even messed up making an old-fashioned cocktail by making it too sweet. I won't be back here unless I'm staying at the hotel and I want to order a drink out of convenience while at the pool. They are located on top of the roof of a hotel. You'll enter through a smaller door and take the elevator to the roof. It does feel like a hotel. The service was mediocre. read more

I liked the live music here. The service and the drinks were really good. Would definitely come by again.

Great place to enjoy a drink (or two) after dinner. The place is chill with upbeat music playing in the background. Service was pleasant. No problems. Everyone is friendly, even other tables. Great place for a small celebration or night cap. read more

I stayed at the Rowan this week, so heading to the rooftop bar and pool area was inevitable. The staff was amazingly friendly, which was lovely. They have plenty of loungers of various chair and couch configurations, plus large umbrellas over most of them- a must in the desert sun. The clientele on a Wednesday at noon was exactly as I'd expected- lots of beautiful, scantily clad people doing their best to develop skin cancer. But my cocktail was cold and delicious, the music just the right volume, and the pool towels nicer than the ones in the hotel rooms. Thumbs up. read more

My husband, sister -in-law and I went here after dinner on a Sunday night. It was pretty quiet at 7:40 but began picking up. They have plum cinnamon syrup which was a first. My sister-in-law thought the music was too loud but I enjoyed it. The fire pit was pretty. I appreciated the propane heat lamps. This bar is on the top floor of the Kimpton Rowan hotel where we were staying. There are some nice views of downtown Palm Springs. We could have ordered food but didn't. read more

Can't rave enough about the Kimpton and it's fabulous rooftop - which is its claim to fame as the only rooftop in PS. Amazingly friendly servers though they are very overworked. Great drinks and array of bar food (hummus plate, fruit, nachos) all priced on par for a hotel. read more

High Bar - Bars Near Me - Palm Springs, California

A poolside bar on the rooftop of the Kimpton serving some clever cocktails and craft beers. We popped up for a drink at sunset and enjoyed the laid back vibe. Once the sun goes behind the mountains it cools off fast so you may want to snag a spot by one of the fire tables or under a heat lamp. While there was only one server, she did a nice job getting around to everyone and our drinks came out quickly. They've got some interesting specialty cocktails with fanciful names that were quite good each served in a specialty glass. read more

No, just no. It was so bad that I couldn't decide if it was even worth writing a review. I don't want to bash anyplace but, in a way, High Bar bashed me first because it's just so awful. First, the bartender was very friendly and I have no complaint about her, personally. My biggest complaint is how filthy the bar is. If you sit at the bar the tile covering the front has never been cleaned. Covered with spills and dirt. The bar too was never wiped off - we ate where the people before us had eaten and no one cleaned the bar in between. Second, the food. OMG. Ordered the burger. Fryer is broken so no fries. Stupid. Ok, burger arrives - topped with 2 slices of white cheddar that weren't melted. One sad, wilted piece of warm lettuce. And then the best (or worst) part, literally the very top slice of a tomato with the stem still attached. Served on a frozen sesame seed bun, not brioche as the menu stated. Gross, dirty and a total rip off. Tourist trap that is definitely not worth going back. read more

Breathtaking views. Knowledgeable staff. Tasty drinks and bites. This place has it all right along with a rooftop pool over looking the beautiful desert scapes and San Jacinto mountains. Loungers galore. Cozy, comfy seating in and out of the shade. Outdoor fans as well as heaters when needed [ January ] and if you look down mountain side, you'll gett to see the giant babies crawling around downtown. Need anything? Kevin their Concierge downstairs knows all sorts of things. Where to go for updos, dog sitters, and rice crispy treats the size of your head. Go meet him! read more

Fun bar to visit in the late afternoon after the sun begins its final descent behind the mountain. Cool view of the PS Museum art pieces (including Marilyn). Drinks were good, service is friendly, lots of seating options. Note- it is a pool bar so some of the cushions might be a bit wet. Check before sitting! Looking forward to our next visit to Palm Springs!! read more

Fun place, great atmosphere! We enjoyed a visit early evening and watched the sunset. Really beautiful views! The sunset and mountain views were terrific. Cocktails were pretty typical - we didn't try the food. Servers and bartenders were pretty busy, plan to have to seek someone out at the bar when you need anything and it may be a wait. I'd like to come back and try the pool as it's a great view and nice ambiance. read more

Came here on a Sunday to celebrate a birthday...there was no more than 15 people in the entire place and so we decided to make ourselves cozy under the misters and fan cabana area...the manager came over and basically kicked us out of the area. Apparently cabanas are for hotel guests who pay for them....I could understand if this was a busy Saturday night and we were drunk and belligerent but we each had just began sipping our over priced cocktails in an empty bar and he thought it was just so urgent to kick us out of the area. I won't be returning. The impression he left pretty much killed any chance of me ever wanting to be a hotel guest. read more

A fun rooftop to come checkout with great views of Palm Springs. A few notes that you need to be hotel guests to use the pool, so especially in Palm Springs think about the day that you would be going to avoid the heat. However there are some fun drinks, you are able to overlook the museum, as well as the skyline, and get a great sunset! read more

Sat outside by the fireplace and had cocktails before heading to the airport. Nice views and service. Cocktails were unique and tasty

I've been to High Bar before and had a blast. Came back for my in law's birthday to have some drinks and show him the roof top and was surprised by rude staff dictating where we could or could not seat (check the photos). I don't mind places with rules and protecting their guests but the way staff handles visitors it's just plain rude and just made me regret bringing new people to this business. Oh the restaurant side also doesn't let you just have drinks! You have to eat to sit there. If you want cunty staff that thinks they are better than you then this is your place. Make sure to be a guest in the hotel or you will be treated like you don't belong... read more

So it's my friend's 35th birthday we came to high bar to celebrate. We're very relaxed and chill people! I'm wearing a romper! We spent about $100 dollars on drinks. It's about 112 outside so we came to sit under the cabanas with the fan and misters. There are probably two other people in the entire pool area.. a manager came and told us at the cabana or for RENT and asked us if we could please leave. We asked him if we could finish our $25 cocktails and if you could give us about 20 minutes. On a Sunday they should let it go. read more

This spot is all about the awesome view!!!! We first stopped by in the middle of the afternoon to see if we could take a nice swim at the rooftop pool next to the bar but it's only open to the public after 5 pm but glad we ended up returning around sunset. We weren't sure if it was going to be packed but it was almost empty on a Saturday night, not sure if it's just low season right now. Anyway the view and drinks started off our night on the best note. The only thing that was pretty good but not amazing was the food and service. The food menu was pretty limited but we ordered guacamole and ceviche. The guacamole was tasty but served with some bland pico de Gallo. I would've preferred if they just served the guacamole with a bigger serving. The ceviche was pretty forgettable but we easily finished the small portion between 3 people. For having the place be relatively empty the service was a little slow. They also had some large windows that were a little bit dirty that partially obstructed the view. It looked like the windows might open so we asked our server if they opened and he said no that it was a safety issue because if they did people might jump out. What? Lol we were caught off guard by the strange comment. Anyway I got up from our table and walked around to snap some pics. P.S. this place photographs beautifully so make sure to take lots of photos. read more

Not open to the public! Someone mistakenly wrote that it was in a prior yelp review. It is NOT open to the public. The lobby of the hotel is quite nice and the woman who turns you away at the elevator was quite nice as well. read more

my boyfriend and I decided to try out a new bar in PS today which is how we stumbled across this place it was very cute & clean. Our bartender Marco was very nice & attentive checking up on my boyfriend and I frequently and making sure we were okay at all times. Not to mention, the drinks he made were on point! turns out he was fairly new to the bar as well! I definitely will be visiting again. Thank you again Marco for the great service & good luck! read more

Stopped by for a quick drink and will definitely be coming back...drinks, view and service were amazing!

Beautiful bar with beautiful views. Nathan, one of the bartenders, is fantastic. It's well worth the the trip.

The view is amazing!! Just stopped up here to grab a few drinks and appetizers. Drinks are just ok, but you're overlooking the pool and seeing the mountains while sipping on the drink of your choice. The house fries are pretty legit, I'd post a picture of them but the bowl is empty! Pool was crowded when I was there, but hey - to each their own! read more

What a great experience with Marco !! Amazing drinks and the most important thing is he takes care of his clients.

This place is having some management issues. I had been here many times in the past but lately the service here has been terrible. I understand things have been out of the ordinary during the past year but they might want to take a beat to regroup before opening back up. There is no host or anyone else who works here besides the servers apparently so be ware before you go. If you have any problems you will be left to deal with them on your own. They have canceled reservations on me at the last minute and when I have tried to call to inquire I was told by the hotel there is nobody there for me to speak to and I could only use open table. And the time I was able to make it inside the restaurant, our server was obviously overloaded with tables and our service was horrible. It's a pretty bad look for Kimpton which has usually been great, even during Covid. Super frustrated and I won't be going back here. read more

This place is rad! They are so friendly and welcoming, amazing customer service and environment. Sat by the fire and enjoyed a Veneno and Avocation - the drinks are unique & delish! Great guacamole too. Had a great view of the mountains and sunset. Highly recommend. B.B. was the best server! So kind & attentive. We'll be back! read more

Fun boozy popsicle drinks, specialty cocktails and appetizers were was also good (artichoke dip and poke nachos). Server was nice and friendly. It is very warm on the rooftop since it is a top floor of a hotel and bar shares the space with the hotel pool area - so bar patrons do get to look at people sunbathing at the hotel pool LOL. read more

i recently stayed at the kimpton rowan in palm springs + had a lovely time. we loved the high bar as we took our 8 month old to the pool for the first time. luckily, we found a great place to lounge in front of the pool. it was against the wall adjacent to the mountains + perfectly spaced where we felt safe with great amount of social distancing from the rest of the people at the pool. our waiter brought us waters right away + then came back to get an order in for some nibbles while we lay poolside. the food here was meh. i wouldn't come here to dine. i ordered the crispy shrimp tacos which i had to send back as the first order had boneless buffalo chicken in my tacos! they came back the second time, it was fail again. first off, the name is misleading. i was expecting shrimp in a crunchy shell taco. instead it was crunch shrimp overcooked in a tortilla with romaine lettuce thrown in! i strongly recommend staying away from this dish! it's just wrong all around! the hubs got buffalo chicken which was okay, but at the price point it would have been nice to get some fresh carrots + celery alongside the chicken. drinks were great, so if you are here to drink... do it! as i stated before, i thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the kimpton rowan. i wouldn't go out of my way to come here if you aren't staying at the hotel. read more
