Let's face it, there's nothing quite like sipping a drink with an awesome view. And in Greater Palm Springs, we've got some pretty sweet spots to do just that! Here's a rundown of six rooftop bars that'll give you those picture-perfect moments (and Instagram-worthy shots!).
262 Rooftop Bar and Grill
262 is a cool rooftop bar in the heart of downtown Palm Springs that mixes old-school Palm Springs vibes with modern touches. Grab a craft cocktail, snack on some appetizers, and soak in the mountain views. When the sun goes down, an upscale nightclub experience will have you dancing the night away.
Pacifica Seafood Restaurant
Sure, we're in the desert, but who says we can't enjoy some great seafood too? Head over to Palm Desert and check out Pacifica's rooftop restaurant at the Gardens on El Paseo. Its upscale ambiance is perfect for date nights or special celebrations, offering killer views of the Santa Rosa Mountains. The seafood selection is top-notch (options range from chilled oysters on the half-shell to baked scallops), and the wine list is nothing short of exceptional!
Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar at The Gardens
Also located on the second floor of The Gardens on El Paseo, Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar combines scenic mountain views with island-inspired bites and drinks. Find a table on the wrap-around balcony and take it all in while enjoying a tropical cocktail (frozen mai tai, anyone?) and some ahi tuna tacos.
High Bar at Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel
If you're after the cream of the crop of Greater Palm Springs rooftop bars, High Bar at the Kimpton Rowan is your jam. It's the highest rooftop bar in town, which means you get jaw-dropping views in every direction. They've got a pool, comfy lounges, and craft cocktails that'll make you say “wow!” Whether you're sunbathing or stargazing, this place has you covered.
4 Saints at The Rowan Palm Springs
While part of the same hotel as High Bar, 4 Saints deserves its own mention. This upscale restaurant and bar offers a more refined rooftop experience. With its innovative cocktail program and chef-driven menu offering Mediterranean-inspired small plates, 4 Saints is ideal for those looking to combine upscale dining with stunning views—because, why not?
