About this place Hunters Palm Springs

Hunters Palm Springs is the busiest and most comprehensive gay bar on Arenas Road — a multi-area venue with an interior bar, outdoor patio, additional outdoor bar, and the programming density that makes it the default destination for gay nightlife in Palm Springs. The weekly event schedule covers the full range of gay bar night formats: drag shows, karaoke, themed underwear nights, DJ nights, bear nights, and the recurring events that keep a regular clientele returning. The crowd is the full breadth of Palm Springs gay male life across the seasons: circuit party visitors during White Party and Palm Springs Pride, winter season snowbirds from colder states and Canada, Warm Sands guesthouse guests, and the permanent resident population that gives Palm Springs gay nightlife its unusual daytime and early-evening density. Hunters is distinguished from comparable bars in other cities by the specific Palm Springs characteristic: even the busy nights have a relaxed quality, the outdoor spaces are used year-round, and the service is efficient in the manner of a venue that is used to handling large crowds without rushing them. Hunters is the correct answer to the question of where to go on any given night in Palm Springs.
