Go see this dinner show! Fantastic performers and staff. Very well done. They are stuck in the past in a very good way, and while the world is moving forward The Purple Room takes pride in honoring the past. You'll have a great time! Make a reservation and park on the street.... read more

Had such a lovely evening watching Rose Mallett and her band play last night. You could tell all of them are very passionate about what they do. As mentioned by many others, the food isn't amazing but it isn't bad either. I had the short ribs and I found them quite tender. Service is a little slow but when you have no place to rush off to, this isn't a problem. Just go in with a little patience as these servers are doing the best they can. 10/10 experience, will be returning in the future read more

My family and I went when they had the Christmas menu so not sure what's available on other days but we really enjoyed the pear salad, the jidori chicken, and the apple tart cheesecake!! We probably wouldn't order the salmon or the pork chop again. William was a fabulous waiter and kept checking in on us throughout the night to ensure we were still doing well. He also dealt with my extreme indecisiveness on white wines and helped answer like 3 rounds of questions. Thank you William!! read more

We enjoyed a classic Palm Springs experience: happy hour piano jazz at a Rat Pack hangout. Friendly, attentive service; enjoyable music, good food, nice selection & reasonable prices: For 4 of us, we had 6 small plates, 6 drinks, 2 desserts for @$200. They don't take reservations for happy hour (recommend them for dinner), and when we arrived (4:30ish) there were some tables open. On weekdays happy hour is 4-6; they clear the room then for the dinner crowd. read more

Purple Room - View from our table. Piano jazz at happy hour. - New American Near Me - Palm Springs, California

The food wasn't amazing but it was tasty. It was for Thanksgiving and we both had short rib which was tasty. The service was great. Daniel, our server was really cool and he did a great job. The atmosphere was really cool and fitting of Palm Springs... it feels a little like a trip to the past (in a good way) with the old school style and feel. It was a fun and different experience! read more

Purple room is a total mixed bag. We came for the dinner show to see Miss Peggy Lee. Figured it would be a fun and campy evening. We showed up at around 6:15 for our 6pm reservation and the place was PACKED! There was clearly a fun buzz going on as every table in the place was taken. The purple room is a traditional cabaret/dinner theater. We were greeted by our server after getting settled in and the drink orders were promptly taken. The drinks were perfect. We eventually placed our appetizer order followed by the entree. Food came out not too shortly thereafter. The only truly edible thing our entire evening was the wedge salad and the steak tartare. Once our entrees came the food was completely disgusting. Between the several dishes it honestly seemed like they were serving reconstituted slop from economy class. I honestly think the airplane food is better. The veal was bone dry and completely flavorless. The chicken roulade and pasta was equally abysmal. The "sauce" was obviously diluted to make it last for lord knows how many servings. It's obvious their pasta had been soaking in water for days. We stopped eating after a few bites. It was that bad. Once the busboy took our food away we ordered the "flavorless" chocolate cake. Thank goodness for the ice cream even though you could tell it was from those giant industrial buckets where the water ratio is just curiously too high to make it seem right. The prices are shockingly high for the complete trash they serve and call food. To her credit our server did a great job and got us everything we needed. Zero complaint on the service end of things. Shortly after our dessert plate was cleared it was time for the show. Once Miss Peggy came out we lasted maybe 10 minutes before making the hard decision of preferring to go home and watch our paint dry from the freshly painted walls. Pros: - The vibe was good. People were having a nice time and it was fun to be in a tight space with a large number of people. - cocktails were perfect - service was on point Cons: - they force you to buy the food at ridiculously inflated prices. My guess is no one would eat there if you weren't forced to pay for the food. It was honestly the worst meal I've had in years. The quality of the food is bottom tier on all levels. - the show was pretty bad. Most of the crowd was just staring at the performer without much reaction. Perhaps this is one of those places where people practice their routine before going "public" with it? - the prices are shockingly high. I would imagine the cost of the show is normally factored into the food and drink prices, but, then remembered they also have a $40 per person charge when you book the tickets. I liked the intimacy of the space and the fact that everyone was there to have a good time. I would only go back if I was invited with a group. I would stick to eating soup/salad and drinks... Also, the "lounge" seating is pretty bad all around. You will want to ensure you get a table in the main dining room. Expect to pay about $175 a person for 3 courses, plus cocktail and wine (including the ticket price). read more

Pros: Excellent service, beautiful space creates the perfect supper club atmosphere. Cons: Mediocre and VERY OVERPRICED food, ditto for the drinks. The Judy Show was fun, but alas Michael is no Jim Bailey. Summary: a pricey drag show Recommendation: Have dinner at Willie's in Rancho, then hit One Eleven bar for their weekend drag show. read more

Wow! What an amazing experience!!! The atmosphere is cozy and very "rat pack". Our server was so bubbly, fun and took great care of us. The food was delicious, but yes kind of pricey. The drinks were delicious! The Judy Show was wonderful!!! So funny and loved the audience participation. Highly recommend!!! read more

The cocktails, atmosphere, and music (Rose Mallett and the band) are good, but food and service were not great. We felt rushed by our waitress (an older lady) the whole night... it felt like she wanted us out in under an hour (which means we would have only had 30 minutes of music, since the band stopped and took a break right after we sat down at 8:30.) We were asked if we were ready to order drinks about 3 minutes after we sat down and had barely opened the menu (and we only had one cocktail menu to share.) When I asked her what was in the Stranger in the Night (the menu only lists bourbon and says it is a classic boulevardier, but I was not familiar with the boulevardier cocktail, and there is no cell phone signal there to be able to look it up), she couldn't tell me, and couldn't bother to find out (I ended up walking up to the bar to ask the bartenders.) When the drinks came, they didn't bring any bread like they did for other tables... in fact, our basket of bread never showed up until AFTER we were done with the whole meal. As for the food... the arancini starter was tasty, and my wife's crabcakes were not very meaty, but okay. The branzino dish was a real miss... the fish was kind of dry and needed a sauce or topping or side with more moisture and flavor. It came with small roasted potatoes that seemed to be in cheap canned/jarred marinara sauce (that was the worst part of all... It was a very familiar flavor like Hunts or Ragu spaghetti sauce. And not a very suitable sauce for roasted potatoes or branzino fish, anyway!) Not very hearty, and pretty lackluster for the price ($45!) As soon as we finished the meal (in a little under an hour) and opted not to have dessert, we were asked if we were going to be leaving or stick around for more music -- we still had half of our cocktails left to finish! Really, you're trying to usher us out the door when we're not even done with our drinks?? (And why? It's not like they could seat another party.) Yes, we came to a music venue to listen to music. Asking us if we are ready to leave when our drinks aren't even done and we've only heard like 3 or 4 songs was pretty off-putting. One more note: parking was difficult! You can only park on the street (not in the parking spaces), and it was hard to find a spot. read more

Purple Room - View of Rose Mallett (Tuesdays) and the band - New American Near Me - Palm Springs, California

"Ringa ding ding", a Manhattan with an orange twist, or "Old Blue Eyes", a classic Old Fashioned are 2 of my favorite cocktails at the Purple Room. Like stepping into a 50s or 60s jazz supper club, the Purple Room claims to be where the Rat Pack was launched. Might be true. It certainly has that vibe to it! The bar features a huge (90?) Selection of whiskey and bourbon in honor of Sinatra's favorite libations. All their finely crafted cocktails carry names from that era. Want a great Cosmo? Order the "Bacall". The menu offers diners a delicious selection of dishes for every taste. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. But what draws my wife and I is the show! Drink, eat, and listen to great live music. Tuesdays with Rose Mallett are our favorite. read more

Everything was absolutely amazing! The staff is so friendly and welcoming, after 5 visits in 2025 w/ a variety of performers and personalities!

Loved this place- Fun, beautiful and truly a rat pack joint from the old days Food was great !! Entertainment amazing ! read more

This place is way too cool! Friends took us here, and it was fabulous. Located in a classic old resort hotel, The Trinidad, the lounge and restaurant portion is a hot spot of popularity. It's nearly impossible to get a reservation, and sitting at the bar, which we did, is actually a fun option. This is where the 'Rat Pack' (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis & Frank Sinatra) met and stated their illustrious association. It's a perfect lounge space for truly intimate, wonderful performances. The drinks are amazing, from the truly creative to the old standards, like a classic martini, mine was with my choice of Hendricks gin. They make any cocktail to your specifics. The wine list is extensive. Ask for anything, and they most likely can make it. The meal menu is varied and appealing. I had the risotto that was beyond amazing. It was probably the best I have ever had, creamy and full of delicious flavor. The crowd is so casual and friendly. We struck up conversations with a few folks sitting around us, which added to the enjoyment and atmosphere. You sit, sip, eat, and listen to incredible music and song... like couldn't be better. Lillias White performed the night we attended, and her show was outstanding. Her voice was crystal clear with incredible range and so connected with the audience. What a fun, enjoyable night of stepping back into the old days of lounge singing. The staff is so professional and attentive and totally on their game. It can be a pricey night, but oh, so worth it! read more

I use to go here at least 6-7 times a year and it was fun.But the last few times the service and food was horrible. The waitstaff tried to rush me and my friends to eat and leave so they could seat more people.For an expensive night out it was the worst experience we have ever had.As a Palm Spring resident I can only say don't bother going to this unwelcoming place read more

I have been there at different times for different shows and I'm always amazed how efficient they are at serving meals. I have never had a less than delicious meal. I recently had the sole which was scrumptious. In the past, I've had the rack of lamb, which I really enjoyed. I highly recommend it. read more

Great food and music. Ultra slow service. We visited Thursday night to get the Date Night fixed price menu. The service was good and the jazz band was good but it's pretty loud and we had a hard time talking. Got our drinks 15 minutes after seating and ordered food. The salads arrived 1 hour after seating. Entree arrived 1.5 hours after seating. Dessert arrived about 2 hours after seating. The food was very good and plentiful. Be prepared. I assume the kitchen was backed up since the place was full. Our server did her best. read more

What could improve? Well everything !!! Especially the food,the only good thing about the Escargot's was they were not served cold like the chicken parmigiana,the escargot's had absolutely zero flavor except garlic and swimming in butter,one would expect that the chef can at least make a half decent garlic butter!!!! The food cost for six tiny snails is maybe one dollar and they have the audacity to charge $24 ???? read more

I'm giving a 5 star review with a caveat. The space: five stars The service: five stars The drinks: five stars The show: (the Judy show) ten stars...honestly i was crying i was laughing so hard. The food...oye. I see why dinner is required if you want to see the show. I assumed "supper club" meant the food was going to be amazing. Everything we ordered felt like Buffett food. The veal was so tough I could barely cut thru it...in fact they only gave me a butter knife, and i practically ended up with the veal in my lap trying to saw thru it. I think i counted 2 small potato halves on my plate with a few vegetables. The crab cake app was fine...nothing I'd ever get again tho. My partner got the Bouillabaisse...and said it was bland. The carrot cake desert was pretty amazing tho. Perhaps we ordered the wrong dishes? The experience, ambiance , drinks and service definitely made up for the subpar food. read more

The ghosts of the Rat Pack, the Scottish Salmon, the Prime Rib, and the red blend bottle of wine were reasons we enjoyed Christmas Eve at The Purple Room. The greatest gift on Christmas Eve was our server. She was absolutely the best. Funny, cute and ensured the pace of dinner was spot-on. If you want to feel like a 1960s icon while eating world-class fare, this is the spot. read more

This is a Palm Springs institution. My 1st time to go + see the Kinsey Sicks - a dragapella grouo! It felt like stepping back in time. Located in like an upscale motel! No on site parking. Frank Sinatra + his folk hung out there way back in the day! Nice room, nice service great drinks! - the Show was sort of So So still fun. Drinks great. However on food, this for me, is a 1 to 2 star. Hubby had the duck breast which tasted like sweet + sour sauce from a can... Cant even recall what I had - def not memorable. For great drinks + ambiance + service a Fun place to go! I suggest eating elsewhere. read more

Definitely a old Hollywood vibe with some great quotes from Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra on the walls. It's fairly dark and certainly purple inside giving it a real atmospheric treat... Kind of like going back in time. We were seated at a table that turned out to be about 12 inches from a great jazz band's stage and it was absolutely terrific. Recommended. read more

Amazing show amazing dinner. Pork chop was delicious . The owner was so nice he went around to every table to make sure they were well taken care of!!!!! Highly recommended!!! read more

I loved the eclectic ambience. It was a pretty cool place. If you like wine it is the perfect place for you! Ordered the steak and it was cooked perfectly. All our food was amazing. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable asking questions about the wines and items on the menu. Highly recommend! read more

This is a must visit when you're in PS. The ambience is like a step back in time and the performances are top notch.

This was my first time at this supper club but surely to not be my last. The food was good but the show was the best part of the experience. read more

Abe Lincoln once said "Most people are about as happy as they make their minds to be." This certainly applies to The Purple Room. You can pick at some of the minor flaws and turn them into a reason to complain, or you can focus on the great vibe, the good food and a caring front of the house staff and have a good time here. My wife and I went on a Thursday "Date Night" That special menu offers excellent value with three courses for $50. My wife had the watermelon salad, the Dover sole, and the berry tart. I had the branzino ($45 from the regular menu). All of the dishes were quite good. The showroom filled completely by 6:30pm so we were glad we had a reservation. The 4 piece combo was good. Yes, I've seen more compelling groups, but they definitely are pros who know their craft. read more

This was our first time at The Purple Room. We provided the name of our reservation after we were warmly greeted. Just as I was telling the guy that this was our first time here, a woman appeared from the doors that led in/out of The Purple Room. The woman greeted us then asked to follow her to the table. Wait - how did she know we were there?! I was already impressed with the warm greeting by the gentlemen and now this mysterious woman knew who we were, too?! TOTALLY IMPRESSED! We walked passed the wall of Sammy Davis Jr, kinda like he was greeting us, and upon entry into the venue it became quite clear the name and reputation of the venue was living to its name. You can feel the vibe as soon as you're inside. We were seated at a two-top just side of the bar yet with full view of the stage. Perfect to see the action throughout the whole place!! Although, I would like to try the center booth next time. Heather, our server, warmly greeted and welcomed us. We explained it was our first time there so Heather asked a couple questions about our bar and food preferences then made some suggestions before leaving us to gander the menus. Tea had the Prosecco, while I had The Marilyn (pear vodka martini) as Heather suggested. Wow - those pear vodka martini went down wayyy too easy. Yes please and thank you, Heather! We enjoyed a small basket of warm bread and creamy warmed butter while waiting for main course. THEN entertainment started. The purple curtain opened to a three piece band (wind, piano, drums). After the band played their opening warm up, Sharon Sills appeared from side stage in a beautiful red shimmering, glamour dress. She opened with a song that I've longed loved - Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey. Well, now I'm hooked. Dinner is served! For dinner, Tea had the mahi mahi. The avocado/mango salsa eased the dryness of the mahi mahi. I had the very moist and tastebud thrills of the Duck Confit, peewee potato's and some of the best green string beans ever. Again, Heather was right - the duck is fantastic! Sharon entertained us through dinner and into dessert with another The Marilyn. For dessert we shared the molten lava chocolate cake. Just perfect for two, the warm chocolate cake and very creamy vanilla ice cream was the perfect topping to a great dinner. My third big impression of the night. A BIG thing when I'm at a restaurant is that I don't want to be sitting with dirty dishes in front of me. Here came the time. We put our silverware upside down on our plates. Well, I kid you not. It wasn't even 30 seconds before Heather, our server, was table side picking up plates. But wait - there's more!! A server assistant arrived within seconds of Heather picking up my plate. He took the plates from her then Heather assisted him in clearing the remainder of table. Okay, hook line and sinker - I'm totally sold on The Purple Room. Service at The Purple Room was top notch from being greeted, being seated, greeted by server, drinks refreshed, food delivered, plates cleared, drinks refreshed, and dessert served. From the vibe in the packed house on a Thursday night, everyone else was enjoying their evening, too. The Purple Room - I love you. We'll be back! read more

The Purple Room never disappoints! The combination of delicious food, excellent service, great drinks, and top-notch live talent keeps my wife and me coming back again and again.

Great place for jazz, cocktails and fantastic food. We were surprised by the quality of all three. Great whiskey list as well.

For ease of reading, a bulleted list... *average age of the patrons is 77 *food is banquet quality but pretty good. *The prices are a bit exotic tbh. $13 for a Creme brûlée or that size and $6 sodas is a bit much. It's indeed supper club pricing. *Pick your seats wisely. The last back row will virtually be watching on tv monitors. *They require you to arrive by 6:15P latest for an 8P show start. That's a lot of sitting so I'd get there by 6:30P, have a cocktail and maybe appetizer and then place your order for dinner to pace it out. You can have dessert right before the performance and then a nice cocktail for during. The bartenders duck away during the performances to maximize viewing angles. *The performance is fun and campy featuring older veteran cabaret level performers. Think a bit better than cruise ship performer all due respect. They're very good but we are far from Broadway. * Easy street parking in front *Well worth a visit and be sure to make a reservation as the place books out well in advance especially during the season - you'll be lucky to get a seat. They usually have last minute drops so seats do open throughout. It's very historic PS. Google it. read more

Waited months for a reservation. Service was absolutely the worst experience. 20 minutes for drinks than only 3 of the 4 arrived. We had to flag down a bus boy to find our waiter. Finally got the drink. After we ordered we and for bread. The bread arrived after we were served and had finished our salad. Did was not good but our waiter never came back to check in on us so did not have the opportunity to say anything. Chicken Parm was way too salty and the short ribs and mashed potatoes were flavorless. Finally got a second round of drinks just before the show started. Tried to pay the bill before the show was over and could find nobody. Took the credit card to the register station and we're told our server would be right there. 15 minutes later he dropped the tab off as he continued to walk by. Waited another 10 minutes for him to come get the card we had our and ready to go when he dropped the bill off! To top off the was 14 dollar split charge. We said just bring another plate and the server kept asking, "dont you want us to put it on a separate plate for you?" We said no twice. The music was amazing however we were so turned off by the poor service and food that we left. read more

We discovered the Purple Room while staying at our Wyndham Timeshare in Indio, CA. We first visited in 2016 and made it a priority to visit on each subsequent visit we made to Palm Springs. And then came Covid. When Covid hit, we were very saddened to discover that Purple Room was struggling to stay afloat during those first 2 years. We were so relieved to find that they survived and we visited again on our next trip to Palm Springs, May 2022. This is such a throw-back to the fabulous age of crooners and nightclubs, think Rat-Pack. Intimate small table seating in front of a small stage where you'll be entertained by vocalists and jazz ensembles. We discovered Rose Mallet here and try to make sure to visit if she is performing during our stay. She is the quintessential female vocalist who will impress you with her personality and singing chops. I don't know if it's a quiet secret or not, but Purple Room has a wonderful happy hour with reduced pricing on appetizers. We go early, sit at the bar and enjoy drinks and appetizers until the dinner hour begins. We'll then grab a table and enjoy the show along with a meal. Reservations for seating in the dining room are a must to ensure you'll have a table available. There is street parking which can be a bit of a challenge sometimes. We've found the food to be excellent no matter what we've ordered and the appetizers were also excellent. Personable bartenders and waitstaff. read more

We celebrated my partner's birthday here last week. The service was flawless from start to finish. The food was delicious; she had the short ribs, and I had the veal. The ambience from our table was perfect, but we still had an excellent view of the dinner show. A jazz/pop violinist played with the house band. It was a memorable evening, and the Purple Room is an excellent choice. We'll be back! read more

Purple Room - This is the view from our table of the musical performers. - New American Near Me - Palm Springs, California

I've always wanted to visit this place! I was surprised that this is in a small motel in a "blink and you'll miss it" side of the street. Parking is on the curb or on the street. It's generally safe but it gets pretty dark. I love the atmosphere. It's very retro and preserves the vibe of its heyday. The aesthetics are lovely. The food is pretty good too. It's very Italian. I had the meatball pasta. It's been hours since I've had dinner there and I'm still full. The pasta is very rich and creamy. It will definitely fill you up. I can't vouch for the alcohol here. I had the mock tail (that's amore) since I was driving. It's a very citrus-y fruity drink. Love it! To end the night, I had a cappuccino which was enough to keep me caffeinated on the drive home. As a concert venue, it's very intimate. The best seats are up front. The bar area can be tricky to get a good view. Service is amazing! Highly recommend if you want to visit a historical place and have tasty food, this is it! read more

Upgrading my rating since our experience last night, after I realized I couldn't wait to come back and see their entertainment, enjoy the best chocolate martini ever (appropriately named 'My Way') and have their sole which they also serve my way, with mashed potatoes instead of rice. Make a reservation at 6:15 and you will be served your tasty cocktail by the time the music starts at 6:30 on Tuesday-Thursday. Reading the cocktail menu is a step back in time when Sinatra ruled. Our entertainment this visit was as talented as the last two times I attended. Your other option is happy hour 4 to 6 at the bar and hope to get a high top to see over diners to the stage. Very popular, with a lively fun crowd, you may have to wait in the lobby until there is an opening, but the bar food choices are as good as their signature cocktails. read more

We were late arriving at happy hour, 5PM, and the place was already crowded. A table was available but we did not stay. The noise level was so loud that we could not talk across the table.
