This place is 'Da Bomb" !…read more Kinda disappointed to see this on Yelp, cuz it has long been a local's secret...but hey, its a great experience... Pros: the creator is known out here as "Radio Mike" cuz he is the Mix Master! He finds the most unusual and rocking music... and plays it using only Solar power charged batteries! Yes, Really! This is an Off the Grid Fri night Party happening! Local Musicians show up and take turns playing their music around a campfire...peeps hang out by the Tiki Bar with their own booze that they bring and share with friends...(BYOB) Head Hunter's Lounge is Friendly, Lively and Really Hip! Cons: If you set up camp right next to him and want peace and quiet on Fri nights to watch your satellite TV, it will be a little noisy...so plan on camping somewhere else if that is your thing...or plan on joining the party every Fri night! Here is a short article that tells you more about this cool cat: http://www.slab-city.com/slab_city_artist_mike/ PS...This happens from about end of Oct or early Nov to April/May depending on when he comes out here to set up camp. Closed during the Hot Summers, cuz, ya know, its the desert!

East Jesus is an extraordinary art installation and off-grid community located in the remote desert…read moreof California's Slab City. Born out of the spirit of creativity and self-expression, it has evolved into a unique testament to human imagination and resourcefulness. The origins of East Jesus can be traced back to the late 1990s when Charlie Russell, an artist and visionary, first settled in Slab City. Slab City, a former military base, became a haven for individuals seeking an alternative lifestyle away from the constraints of mainstream society. Inspired by the countercultural movement and the concept of repurposing discarded materials, Russell envisioned a place where art and sustainability could coexist. Over time, East Jesus grew organically, attracting like-minded artists, activists, and individuals seeking a communal space for creativity. The community's name is a playful nod to the phrase "middle of nowhere," reflecting its remote location and eccentric nature. The artists of East Jesus repurpose salvaged materials to create whimsical and thought-provoking sculptures that dot the landscape. These installations often address social, political, and environmental themes, challenging visitors to question the world around them. The people of East Jesus embrace a DIY ethos, relying on solar power, rainwater harvesting, and composting systems for their basic needs. The community values self-reliance, sustainability, and artistic freedom, fostering an environment that encourages experimentation and collaboration. The only last thing I want to mention is that I don't believe that East Jesus is the right place for a woman to travel to ... alone. (just a word to the wise) I will be back .. to experience more ... with a friend of course.

It's the kind of place the locals all know about. The beer is always cold and the food is amazing…read more The music is usually a live band, but the last time I was there a DJ was spinning. The bar is long and roomy with tables along the wall if you would rather face your friends or date. It was hot and sticky in Mexicali when I was there, but when the weather starts to cool down I will definitely sit in the patio and enjoy an ice cold beer and maybe a smoke. Stop by and say hi Wesley. He will take good care of you and maybe teach you a little French.

So why only four out of five stars then? It is mandatory in my rating scheme that I would be willing to do a 30+ min detour just to dine or drink here, and as much as I loved the place: that would be a tad too much to ask. So if in the area and have a craving for a great burger, fries and a beer: you will be very very happy here.

Ingress!!!! Coming…read morein off the main road, the entrance to this big saloon was a tough find. Walking back along the building we almost found the entry...amost. it felt like a bum steer so we made our way back to the front. An exception was made and entry allowed. The place is cool, the bar is long and the food and service was great. Egress, a long walk around the bar and way towards the back was the exit. Outside I saw I was this close, perhaps one more arrow might have convinced me to keep going.

When I know Laura, the chief chef, is going to have one of her creations on offer, the wife and I would drive the 175 mile round trip or so just to enjoy her creation.

There aren't many options when dining in Joshua Tree. We chose this restaurant because they had…read moregood reviews and we wanted steak. When we arrived, staff was running all around us and I mean literally avoiding eye contact to not help us. We got one of their attentions and were able to get our names down, they apparently only do pen and paper for their list. During the wait we walked around pioneer town and took some pictures then made our way back just in time. Didn't matter much because as soon as we sat down, all the staff ignored us again. We were able to put in our orders and that was the last time we saw our waitress until the bill came. Other people brought our food, I had over cooked steak with cold mashed potatoes. The table had the strangest Mac and cheese and loaded fries that tasted microwaved. The decor was okay, the lights were very low and it made it hard to see the menu. I would overall skip this restaurant if I had the chance.

We visited this bar on a Friday night. The service was friendly but there wasn't a large crowd (not…read morealways a bad thing). There wasn't plenty of space to sit at the bar or at tables. They didn't charge any cover but the security were checking ID's and patting down for weapons. They take cash and credit card here, as some bars are cash only in the area. Overall, this was an average place but definitely work a visit.
