via Stay22About this place Oscar's
Oscar's is a downtown Palm Springs gay bar and restaurant, a relaxed spot for both locals and travelers.
It’s the kind of place you go when you want to sit down, eat, and drink without a lot of fuss. The vibe is easygoing, less about a big night out and more about just having a comfortable place to hang.
There’s a restaurant alongside the bar, so you can make a full evening of it. Plus, they put on weekly events, which keeps things from getting too quiet, even on a Tuesday.
Palm Springs has always been a magnet for LGBTQ+ visitors, and Oscar's sits right in that tradition—a friendly, unpretentious spot smack in the middle of downtown. If you’re looking for a low-key local gay bar, this is it. Check their website at oscarspalmsprings.com for what’s on.

Oscar’s is a true gem and a must visit while in Palm Springs. We have done the drag brunch annually while visiting and it’s impossible not to have a good time. Staff are genuinely friendly and care that you have a great time, and of course, the queens are the best. Highly recommend! Thanks to the whole team at Oscar’s for your all around fabulousness.
We love Oscars! It’s tightly packed but always a hoot!
