Trunks Bar

Über diesen Ort Trunks Bar

Trunks Bar occupies a prominent position at the entrance to the Arenas Road gay district — La Plaza, where Palm Canyon Drive meets the beginning of the gay strip — making it the natural first stop and last stop for evenings in Palm Springs. The large outdoor patio is the venue's defining feature: in a city with 350 days of sunshine per year and nights that stay warm enough for outdoor drinking from October through May, a well-designed patio is a serious competitive advantage. Trunks's patio has the crowd energy of a venue at a natural gathering point and the relaxed atmosphere of a desert resort bar. The clientele includes the full range of Palm Springs gay male life — the Warm Sands guesthouse crowd, the Arenas Road regulars, the White Party weekend visitors, the retiree residents who make up a substantial part of the city's gay population, and the younger visitors who come for Pride or the circuit events. Trunks is not trying to be a nightclub; it is a bar, in the best sense — a place where people gather, drink, talk, and move on to the next venue or stay until close. For visitors to Palm Springs, Trunks is where the night begins.
