Chill Bar

We like this little bar in downtown Palm Springs. It is a popular gay bar with great music (mostly DJ music), sometimes dancers for entertainment, and a small dance floor. They have a private room for parties, too. We like the inexpensive rail drinks (only $5- always…) as well as their great selection of liquors and other cocktails. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a great place to hang out with friends!

One of my favorite bars in PS! Always nice and CHILLy and great drink prices. Small patio but still great to step outside and socialize. During some weekends and Pride the dance floor is opened up and it becomes a HUGE club/bar with additional patio space in the back!

Probably one of the better bars to go to in Palm Springs on Arenas Street. Fun for locals and tourists. Drinks are reasonably priced. It gets crowded on weekends but the music is good, bar staff is quick and over all its a fun vibe.

Love this bar at night, always a fun night out. However I went to their Schitts Creek Brunch, awful, the drag queens didn't have the slightest of clues about the TV show. Great idea, but no one put any effort into this. They shouldn't be charging $25 each for such an abysmal show.

We booked a table through Eventbrite for the drag brunch. The promoter is "Andy Santiago Presents." The staff and the show were amazing! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quality drag show. The staff was super friendly, accommodating and made our group’s experience 5 stars. Thank you for a great time!

I came with my gaggle of Seattle gays. As a woman, sometimes gay bars can be unwelcoming. This is not that place. I felt welcome, safe and I had am amazing Bloody Mary or 9 (which is also hars to come by). The food was incredible. Birria heaven. The drink deals were coma inducing, (drink responsibly, kids) This will be my go to spot anytime I am in town. Not to leave out, the music was incredible.

Formal Complaint Regarding Incident at Chill Bar Palm Springs - October 25, 2025 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report a deeply disturbing incident that occurred at Chill Bar Palm Springs on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at approximately 11:00 PM. After spending some time at Bunker, I arrived at Chill Bar and was on the dance floor. Due to back pain, I decided to sit on a platform/stage near the front of the dance floor, a location where I have routinely sat during my ten years of patronage without issue. A security personnel member approached me and demanded I move. Although confused, as this usually only occurs for scheduled entertainment, I complied. The individual offered no explanation and departed. A short while later, still experiencing back pain, I sat down in the same area to rest. The same security personnel member returned and began yelling at me to move. I attempted to explain that I was resting due to back pain and that I had always been permitted to sit there. However, as soon as I stated "no," the security guard became aggressive, yelling, "You are leaving now!!" He then forcibly removed my beer from my hand, throwing it to the floor. Subsequently, he physically grabbed me, placed me in a wrestling headlock, and dragged me through the entire bar before forcibly removing me from the premises. I was not intoxicated or disorderly, nor was I obstructing anyone. I was simply seeking a brief moment of rest due to a physical discomfort. The unprovoked physical assault and verbal abuse I experienced were entirely unacceptable. This incident has left me deeply shaken and questioning my safety and ability to return to an establishment I have frequented and enjoyed for over a decade. I am unsure if this was an isolated act by an employee with anger management issues or if it reflects a new policy at Chill Bar Palm Springs. I believe it is important to bring this matter to your attention so that others may be spared similar treatment.
