Palm Springs

Palm Springs has been a celebrity desert getaway since the Rat Pack era, known for its mid-century modern architecture and a nightlife scene with a strong, long-standing LGBTQ+-friendly reputation. BarFinder lists 100 venues here, led by bars, sports bars, and a real cocktail bar and nightclub presence, with real local spots like ONYX Bar and Bar Chingona reflecting a scene that spans classic desert dive bars, drag brunches, and genuine nightclub energy. It's one of the more distinctly nightlife-driven towns in the Coachella Valley.
