Tonga Hut
The folks from the North Hollywood bar of the same name have filled this upper-level spot with retro art, tiki pieces carved by locals, and framed menus from bars that have now gone to tiki heaven. The food menu has a Polynesian/Cantonese twist and really impresses too. tongahut.com/tonga-hut-palm-springs.html
Copa
With state-of-the-art lighting and sound, Copa is probably the only true nightclub in town. The weekly roster mixes up DJ’s and live performances from a number of genres. coparoomps.com
Bootlegger Tiki
Self-proclaimed as the best happy hour in town, Bootlegger Tiki is part speakeasy, part vintage tiki bar. Outfitted with totem poles, topless paintings of women, and dim lighting, it’s the place to be well into the night drinking a ‘False Idol’ cocktail or two. bootleggertiki.com
Dead or Alive Bar
The Dead or Alive is an independent local beer and wine bar, located down the south end of town. Open until late, this intimate establishment offers a highly curated selection of craft beer and wine. deadoralivebar.com

Tucked away in the Club Trinidad Hotel, this old school supper club has imagery of the Rat Pack adorning its walls and hosts intimate music and comedy shows nightly, accompanied by a dinner and snacks menu. purpleroompalmsprings.com
The Amigo Room
This dark, ‘70s-esque bar at the Ace Hotel is one of Palm Springs' grooviest watering holes with rotating DJs, live bands, and a drag queen-hosted popular trivia night. acehotel.com/palmsprings/dining-and-drink/amigo-room
Toucans Tiki Lounge

Melvyn’s
This retro-chic bar and restaurant at the Ingleside Inn has been around for almost a century, and was a favorite of Palm Springs mainstay Frank Sinatra. Rock into the cocktail bar that has a distinctive ‘old’ Palm Springs flavor, complete with resident piano player. inglesideinn.com/?page_id=986
