Palm Canyon Roadhouse
If you're cruising through Palm Springs and looking for a laid-back spot that brings together good vibes, cold drinks, and live music, Palm Canyon Roadhouse is where it's at. Tucked along 535 S Palm Canyon Dr, this local gem knows how to throw a party without losing that cozy, dive-bar charm.
From the outside, it might not scream flashy, but step inside and you’ll catch that unmistakable roadhouse energy. It’s casual, a little rugged, and full of character. What really sets it apart? The live music. Nearly every night, you’ll find bands rocking the stage—from bluesy guitar riffs to full-blown rock ‘n’ roll sessions. And if you're into dancing, the vibe here makes it almost impossible to stay in your seat.
This place is all about good times and group hangs. Whether you're catching up with friends or rolling in with a larger crew, there's plenty of space and energy to go around. It's moderately noisy, sure—but that's part of the charm. It’s the kind of spot where people cheer, laugh loud, and shout over the music just to say “cheers” with a beer in hand.
And speaking of drinks, Palm Canyon Roadhouse doesn’t mess around. The bar is fully stocked, and bartenders are quick with a pour and always ready with a recommendation. You won’t find overpriced cocktails here—just solid drinks, solid tunes, and a welcoming crowd that makes it easy to feel like a regular, even if it’s your first time through the door.
Whether you're in the mood for a spontaneous night out or just want a no-fuss spot to unwind after a long day, Palm Canyon Roadhouse keeps it real in all the best ways. It’s not trying to be trendy—it’s just authentically fun.
Reviews
A few weeks I enjoyed an all girl live band here. It was fun! The bar is roomy, and the patio is chill if you want fresh air/smoking. The bartenders El, Mel & Orion were friendly and I didn't have to wait for a drink. The crab cakes and egg rolls were a surprise, and the other pub food great. A guy named Greg handled the music & it was on point. If you're in Palm Springs, The Roadhouse is a must stop! Whiskey Blue
Got into town late and walked to this place for some takeout. We enjoyed our Caesar salad with chicken tenders and jalapeño poppers. The ladies behind the counter were so nice and even gave us recommendations for breakfast while we waited for our order. The small crowd in there was having fun dancing. We came back the next day and tried the apple pie dessert to go. Can't say anything about the bigger meals but the apps and desserts were good. I would stop by again next time we're in town :)
Fried Calamari excellent! Ribeye steak excellent. Waitress Eleanor excellent! We have been there twice and will go again!
Great food, welcoming staff. We were looking for something later in the evening, which can be hard to come by in downtown Palm Springs.
The Palm Canyon roadhouse is a fun bar in the Palm Springs area without all of the touristy, frills and gimmicks. The drinks are strong and well priced. It's definitely a local spot with a regular crowd. The music selection was also upbeat and fun. Super friendly bartenders.
