Gay Palm Springs · Restaurants & Cafes

Oscar's is a gay-popular restaurant in Palm Springs. It hosts regular drag dinners. You can opt for a 3-course prix fixe meal.

You'll often find long queues for the Sunday Tea Dance. It's quite camp and something of a staple on the Palm Springs gay scene. You'll find lots of gays drinking in the courtyards and drag queens performing.

It attracts a mixed although mostly older gay crowd.

Melvyn's is a classic Palm Springs restaurant serving hearty American and European cuisine. The bar is covered in photos of the celebrities who used to wine and dine here. Although it has an old school Palm Springs feel, it's very much a contemporary establishment.

This place is a must if you're looking for some fine dining in Palm Springs. The chicken pot pie is something of a staple. Melvyn's was one of Frank Sinatra's favorite restaurants. The Steak Diane is still served exactly the way he liked it. There's live jazz every night at the Casablanca Lounge.

Advanced booking recommended.
