About this place 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.

Toucans was the absolute highlight of our bachelorette trip! We went for a drag show and drinks, and the energy in the room was amazing from start to finish. The performers were incredibly talented, funny, and engaging, keeping everyone in our group entertained the entire time. The drinks were well-made, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively without ever feeling chaotic. The crowd was fun and welcoming, which made the night feel even more special. Our whole group had an unforgettable time, and we’d definitely recommend Toucans to anyone visiting Palm Springs looking for a high-energy, fun night out!

Had the absolute time of my life at Toucans this past Saturday night! The drag show was phenomenal and had me laughing non stop. Highly recommend for Bachelorette parties and all others! Thank you for the great night.
