Food and service was phenomenal! Very small but the food was quick to come out and yummy! Definitely will be back!

Don't sleep on this place. Quaint, and like family. I'm not kidding, lots of people who frequent or work there on their days off. Family. But let's not kid ourselves that this review is about food. Wow, the nachos were amazing and the bañuelitos were soft and amazing like nothing I've never tasted so we got a second. When we walked in, the place was full, but the table in the corner of regulars, offered to smush together so we could be inside. Family. With good food. (And drinks too!) read more

Such a cute bar. We were there for HH. Had a couple of drinks and Apps. Make sure to get there early since the bar is little if you wanna be indoors. read more

FIL~ FELL IN LOVE with Little Bar this had actually been on my "Places to Go" in the dessert for quite a while, which i didn't realize till i saw the wall with the concert tix wallpaper! I had read about Little Bar a couple years ago & added it to my list for our yearly visit to Palm Desert for Easter . We were on the hunt for burgers and my hubby found "Little Bar" it might be little, but it's "BIG" in welcoming you in and the staff was sooo very friendly too Inside offers a bar top that seats 8-10 maybe & 3 tables inside that could seat 15? maybe, and this is really where you want to sit as the inside VIBE is just dark, cool & the BEST experience to garner the true "Little Bar" personality Don't be put off b the smallness as outdoor seating is a plenty, accessible and covered to avoid the sun exposure during those late spring summer months. The food or rather the burgers brought us in!!! Basic in style offering Hamburgers $8 or Cheeseburgers $9.... and they are quite DEEELISSSH!!!!! If burgers aren't your thing (WHO ARE YOU !!) a full menu will expand your options chicken sandwiches, wedge salad and lots of options The BIG surprise at Little Bar are the craft cocktails, there were 6 of us and each ordered something different and all were thirst quenching refreshing deliciousness in a glass Located just alongside off HWY 111, plenty of FREE parking make "Little Bar" your new GO-2 place to hang you will be a happy happy person read more

Have you ever seen a movie, where they cast a bar, and all the workers have an infectious energy that just penetrates anyone who steps in? Well, that is the beauty of coming to the little bar. Tucked off 111 is an oasis in the desert. It's not a mirage. For some reason it makes me think Kangaroo Jack is going to pop out whenever I'm there. Surprisingly good Vook-A-Ray? I'm not French and not going to pretend how to spell it. Hamburger Salad, and Chicken Sandwich is EPIC read more

Great food, stellar service, great craft cocktails! The staff were so attentive and several different members checked on our table throughout our visit to see if we needed anything. We ordered tacos and nachos and a couple drink rounds. All the cocktails that we tried were tasty & unique! read more

They are a little bar so be patient and relax you are going out for a drink -don't rush it- sit back and enjoy your cocktails, food, conversation and the people around you. read more

Fun spot to belly up to the small bar and have a burger. Outside seating option helps to augment the small space.

Great burgers, but as the name suggests it is very small. I like it best for lunch. They have a full bar and plenty of god beers. A fun spot to try. read more

While in the area my group was looking for place to grab some drinks before dinner. This place surpassed our expectations. There's a variety of beers and cocktails. The only awkward thing was when someone asked for a chilled glass for their beer. Just know if you want a chilled glass, you will be getting the glass on the counter top of the bar that is filled with ice water. The bartender will dump the ice water out and bam, there's your chilled glass. We were encouraged by a couple of regulars to try the cheeseburger. So we ordered one and it was cut into chunks for us there was a large group of us. You need to try their food as it's definitely worth it! read more

Great little bar! Bartender were very friendly. I had the chicken burger and it was very tasty.

Okay but not as good as we'd hoped. Nachos were oddly fashioned by deep frying flour tortillas cut into wedges and coated with a fake thin 'cheese'. Crumped spicy cheetoes adorned this mess with a sparse smattering of canned jalapeño slices. Oh, and a smear of canned refried beans. Best to stay home, cook up some natural wholesome food .. quesadillas, nachos, or fresh jalapeño poppers. The Bold Fashioned was delicious. The service good. The staff t-shirts funny. The gender neutral restroom is ginormous and in itself is a tribute to gender studies. Such a large room .. with a sink at the far corner ( just past the large porcelain urinal. read more

Upon a recommendation from a friend they said to give the Little Bar a try. So we did just that arrived approximately 5:00 there was no wait and we were able to get a very nice comfortable seat outside. Enjoying the wonderful View off the 111. All of the service staff were very helpful Pleasant and polite. We had heard so much about their burgers and we were both in the mood for one so we both ordered a burger and we split one order of french fries. The burgers did not let us down they were cooked perfectly served hot with a delicious flavor of fresh ground beef onions and cheese. The french fries were also quite tasty crispy tasty and hot. I really enjoyed our lunch at the Little Bar we'll be going back there more often when in the mood for a good burger. They have quite an extensive drink menu and I did notice some pretty fancy cocktails coming out I believe we may have got there during happy hour which I would highly recommend thank you for the wonderful service and thank you for the wonderful burgers can't wait to see you again Little Bar read more

John was such an amazing host. He was very attentive and got everything we ordered for. We had a group of 9 and for one of our friends waited for a drink for too long so he compensated us with a free jelo shot for them as we waited because they were very busy. Thank you John for making this such a great and memorable night. Good vibes here and great ambiance! Will ALWAYS come back to here :) read more

Cute spot, great drinks, really really awesome service. John was the best! We will be back next trip.

The first two times we visited, the service was top notch. This time around it was spotty as the server that had helped us before must have been off. The staff seemed really interested in talking to their friends and amongst themselves at the bar. Our server was okay but when she announced a shift change, I elected to keep the tab open. That second drink my wife ordered was the last real check in we received for the last 30 minutes we remained. I just might've ordered another cocktail but I wasn't given the chance. The new bartender didn't even look our way once but I did appreciate the country music they were playing. We went home disappointed where we erased the negative thoughts with a bottle of Skrewball. The tacos, Buffalo Chicken and the Filthy Fries were on point though. read more

Cute little bar! We were invited by the soon to be (now officially) bride and groom the night before their wedding with a few other close friends. We had already eaten and had drinks prior so I ended up just eating some chips and salsa while everyone else had food. Everything looked delicious and wish I had room but maybe next time! They have a cute outdoor lounge area with couches and nice heat lamps. We sat inside and the place was poppin! Loud music and even had one of the new Star Wars movies playing on their tv. I immediately had to use the restroom as soon as we got there so I got in line, surprisingly there was a constant line for the single unisex restroom. I am one of those people who refuse to use public restrooms and will wait till I get home (if possible) but this was one of the times I couldn't so I forced myself. But I was surprised at how clean it was AND how large it was! There's a single toilet and even urinals. There was some kind of storage cabinet and a ton of Febreeze on top. Glad they had it though! Most places don't and it's god awful. The sink was weird though. It might've been broken but it just shoots out water at one pressure which ended up getting on my hoodie. Sitting back down, we were there for a few hours, service was really good and a few workers came by and checked on us a few times to make sure we were good on food and drinks. Definitely a vibe! Upon leaving, I did however notice a stream of vomit right by the door which was disgusting and wish someone washed it down or something. :( I get it's a bar but it's definitely not a nice thing to see right by the entrance.. still a nice spot to hang out with friends and grab some food and drinks!

THE BEST bar around and my favorite spot to hang when I feel like going out. Little Bar has it all: - the most awesome bartenders who know us AND what we drink every time we go - friendly regulars - great drinks (jello shots, even!) - GREAT food. Bar food at its best. Fantastic burger, perfect tots, even the daily soup is always a win. - not overpriced* - always a fun but chill vibe - games! - one large TV which they keep on silent (essential), either showing whatever game is important or fun background stuff - patio with misters and a fantastic view This is the bar where you feel like a local. *if we spend $100+ per visit it's because we stayed there for hours We live a mile away so it's easily walkable most of the year (not in summer; for some dumb reason we once walked there on a 118° day and I'm fairly certain we legit got heat exhaustian) which is great because driving drunk is something we don't do but getting drunk at Little Bar is our favorite. read more

I want businesses to succeed but I want to protect consumers more. Ratings/reviews inflated on this one. Friendly staff and cocktail "ok " but the experience/value fell below the expectation that the ratings might engender. Found a lot of that from Yelp on this California road trip. More evidence of California's statewide decline??? Yelp lists this as a "top happy hour" in PD. Taco Tuesday mediocre at best. Tiny and dry... read more

If you're looking for a new place to have a nice drink I highly recommend this place. Now if you're looking to a nice meal with your drink I highly recommend getting food elsewhere and then making your way back here. The drinks were classic and strong. They had a little desert flair and theme going on with their drinks. The drink presentation was Instagram worthy. As for the food, it was no bueno. We got the buffalo chicken wings and the house nachos. The nachos we barely touched. We added chicken and it was canned chicken on top. The nachos were also loaded with beans. Enough to get you to space. The place is cute. It's a great place to hang out, chill, and have a drink. It really takes after it's name, a little bar. Enjoy! read more

Cute little spot. Came in for a drink and was pleasantly surprised by the drinks and food. I had a Hibiscus sour but I opted for Whiskey instead of Gin. It was delicious, with egg whites and topped with sprinkles of dried hibiscus, yum. I then took a chance on the nachos and was like whoa. Their nacho sauce is really good, has a nice kick to it. The nachos have tortilla chips that are made fresh for each order. They have beans, nacho cheese, onions, sour cream and jalapenos and that's all they need. I mean they have cilantro but who likes soap. I didn't need to eat, I had a full dinner, but it seemed to tempting to pass up as I saw the order pass me by for another table and I'm so glad I did. They also have nacho fries and I know I'll be back for those, as they have the same sauce. The staff is great, attentive and orders come out quick. They have a great selection of whiskeys . Menu is small but it seems like everything is really good. If I lived nearby this would be my hangout. The prices are a little steep, but I think its worth it, when the drinks are on point and the food is good. They have a cute patio seating or a small seating inside. Stop by, you won't regret it. read more

As the name imparts, it's a tiny LITTLE BAR, which allows for a feeling of being in somebody's (read proprietor Skip's) comfy den. The food is "pub-grubbish" with cute menu names and not expensive, actually pretty wallet friendly for its yum factor. The drinks are also yum, but strike me as pricey. The service is quite good, in particular the bartenders. Inside, the atmosphere feels very intimate. Note the wallpaper created from Skip's personal collection of epic concert tickets. Carefully curated books and original art with a desert deco vibe. The patio out front is mostly a hold-over from the Covid days, but again, comfy particularly for an afternoon beverage. I like it here. I mostly like the whole experience. I just don't especially love it when the time rolls around to pay the check. read more

Little Bar is a cool little spot right off el paseo in Palm Desert . Great vibes, quick service (and GOOD service) We did not get food, but solid menu great prices, it all looked good. Shoutout to John! (And Adriana) Very welcoming, and they stay on top of the crowd. I'd say good for casual family outing with the dog, fun date night, or just a night cap. Highly recommend.

This bar is very small but you have indoor seating and a patio outside. I came to check it out on this particular day because my business partner came out to the desert to see me but there was a private event going on. I asked Nick, the security if we can get drinks and sit outside the patio. He went inside and asked the owner and they accommodated us. Great service, great vibes you guys! Allison then came from inside and introduced herself and got our drinks very quickly. They made us feel right at home. Great service, great staff, great drinks! Thank you for making our experience here great. We will definitely be back. read more
