a man standing at a bar
Quintin E.

Quadz is a long bar nightclub with good well price drinks, great bartenders, super doorperson/security and an endless supply of showtunes, nostalgia and entertainment. Typically one of the busiest bars on the Arenas Rd block of businesses in Downtown Palm Springs between Indian Canyon Drive and Calle Encilla. It's a very all inclusive gay bar with good music throughout the day and night... Open from 2PM to 2AM... 7 days a week! They have a sibling location in Las Vegas... A little more sports bar (Gym Bar like), but just a fun and inviting as the original Quadz in PS. You can enjoy trivia nights, comedy shows, karaoke and fun themes throughout the month as well as seriously crazy cool happy hour specials through the week... Say Tito's (Vodka)!!! $4 for a well drink O.O I'll take three!!! The drinks are all perfection, though that special Tiki menu (available on Tuesday)... Is a savory yes please! When there's a major event, convention or gathering like Palm Springs Pride you'll find parking nearby to be challenging, plus rideshare is always recommended #DrinkResponsibly Multiple huge free parking structures closeby make for some light walking, but if you know Palm Springs, you know parking is free and with few limits or restrictions just about anywhere in the entire Coachella Valley. There is a small shared parking lot for Quadz that is available most times of the year (not for pride) as well as parking directly on Arenas Rd (again not for pride), throughout most of the year. Some bars are cash only, especially during major weekends... However Quadz stays consistent... Which is why people enjoy it... Not to mention that gorgeous patio overlooking the Downtown Area with tables, couches and stationary seating. The inside has a good amount of space, but places to kick back or even grab a chair around/near the bar fill up first. The restroom line can get pretty long at night especially, however they're unisex which makes it go a bit faster (usually kept up). Was glad I could stop in without a wait during the tail end of the weekend and enjoy their signature video bar vibes with more monitors/flat screens than you can count (on the the patio as well)... Liza homage tribute + showtunes were a great nightcap with my nightcap on Sunday Funday. Whether you're queer, gay, bi, trans, lesbian, pan, apart of the lgbtqia+ or an ally... Quadz is for you!! And Quadz is for sure for Q ;)

This place is on Arena is my favorite one. It's very social and it has great videos, camaraderie, friendly, social crowd, good drinks, and really good seating. Very eclectic crowd and they do have sing-along and music videos which can be quite entertaining. This is not a dancing location per se but a good social for people go back over and over again to socialize and have good drinks..

Assaulted by bar staff. Door slammed into face and foot.

Yaaaaaas! Took my cuzzos here as they wanted to experience an American Dragshow. Being the ally…read morethat I was, I went along with them. Here was my experience. AMBIANCE Parking: Street parking and plaza parking. You really shouldn't have any issues unless there's a major festival or something. Seating: Plenty of seating! I mainly saw inside seating from groups to bars. Vibes: You're pretty much in Downtown Palm Springs but also prime location for LGBTQ+ nightlife. The spot itself can be chill and not so chill depending on the events. Regardless, I felt welcomed and enjoyed the vibrant and fun energy. The drag brunch was great! The performers brought charisma, comedy, incredible costumes, with plenty of audience interaction. Whether it was your first drag brunch or your fiftieth, the energy made you feel included. DRINKS Mimosa (Recommend) Simple, refreshing, and exactly what you want during brunch. Light, bubbly, and easy to sip while cheering on the performers. CUSTOMER SERVICE Ongina was served as the MC and was great! The servers were pretty cool too. Good banter, pretty friendly and a good flow. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good flavors, great entertainment, and good energy! Whether you're visiting Palm Springs or you're a local looking for a fun Sunday outing or some fun LGBTQIA+ drag brunch entertainment, check this spot out. TIPS * Make reservations for drag brunch--they fill up quickly. * Bring cash to tip the performers.

Walked in feeling great, walked out with duct tape residue on my shorts. Bold choice, Chill Bar…read more The good stuff first & there are many good things: strong drinks, a genuinely fun and friendly crowd, and a patio that's beautiful under the string lights at night. No complaints on vibe or service. But we need to talk about the furniture. I sat down on a booth that crackled like it was held together by a single roll of duct tape and sheer optimism. The patio chairs are in the same boat; wobbly stools held together by a prayer, and what looks like clearance-rack lawn furniture. This is Palm Springs, a town famous for its mid-century modern design, and the seating currently looks like it lost a fight with a garage sale. I'll absolutely keep coming back and recommending this place. The atmosphere and people are worth it, but the furniture needs an upgrade to match everything else this place has going for it. Would come back, might bring a cushion just in case.

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.

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

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.

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.

We've been once before, which we also happened to stop in for a drink and found out it was drag night. Well that was amazing so of course whenever friends are un town, we had to bring them. Before the show from 7-8:30, they have drag race. You can come and enjoy the show with everyone else. Afterwards starting at 9pm, or a little after is when the show starts. Seats can be reserved, hi top or tables for groups. Then the other seating are first come first serve. The show is alway amazing and entertaining. Of course the hostess with the mostess is a a major hoot and holler. She is AMAZING. Just the liveliness of her and the positive attitude. It makes you all feel so welcomed. I think each week the showgirls rotate so it changes. This week, they were amazing. Of course both the last time and this time, we had a blast. And our guest was having the time of her life. She loved every second of it. The girls not only perform but work the floor as well. Working it up and down and just keeping the crowd entertained. Don't forget to bring your dollar bills because we have to show them some love during and after each performance. Their music choice is alway amazing and to top it off, their whole performance to go with it is a must see if you haven't been. Plus we just found out they also do drag brunch on Saturday. May need to give it a try next time. If you're wanting a fun night out with a fun crowd and entertaining show, one eleven on a Friday night.

Customers seem to pour in about 15 minutes before performances. Mostly parties and/or groups of individuals. The performers were very lively and enjoyable. Especially the MC! From experiencing other places, what I like to see is more performances on stage before they circle the room and take money. The performance from the dance teacher in San Diego was amazing- very artistic. Was happy to see three performances from her! If coming, prepared to have fun and bring some money to show your appreciation for the talented performers. Having a pocket full of dollar bills will get you far!
