QUADZ

I went here for the first time on a Monday night. They were showing musicals on the televisions. It was a great vibe. I was here with a friend, we ordered blue moons. The service was good. The security up front was also very helpful.

I used to frequent this place Friday thru Sunday. Learned Kareoke here when it was Spurline. Bartenders performed Jason, Terry, Jeff. View from Quadz patio

We really had fun at this bar. They know how to do their sing along show tunes! Nice patio. Fun environment. Friendly staff.

Do not go to this bar. Ordered bottled waters. Two of us received them. Four of us received cups of water. Street festival is outside. Was told by the doorman we couldn’t leave with water as it was “an open container.” Complete BS. Rude as hell. Threw our waters in the trash. Will NEVER be back.

FUN BAR WITH SING-ALONGS . POPULAR VIDEO BAR WITH A GREAT CROWD . FRIENDLY BARTENDERS .

A fun bar in Palm Springs where we came to enjoy a drink in a relatively chill environment. We came back the next day to see the comedy show there too! The staff is friendly and locals seem to come there to hang out in the evening.

My favorite spot in Palm Springs. Showtunes nights are an absolute must if you’re visiting PS. Drinks are well priced, can’t beat the atmosphere. 10/10.

Big event for golden girls 40th anniversary and only had one bartender?? First drink took nearly 25 minutes to get… crazy

Great atmosphere for before dinner drinks at reasonable prices. Staff is very friendly. There is usually about 10 of us on friday nights and the music is low enough so you can carry on a decent conversation without yelling at each other.

Quadz is a long bar nightclub with good well price drinks, great bartenders, super doorperson/security and an endless supply of showtunes, nostalgia and entertainment. Typically one of the busiest bars on the Arenas Rd block of businesses in Downtown Palm Springs between Indian Canyon Drive and Calle Encilla. It's a very all inclusive gay bar with good music throughout the day and night... Open from 2PM to 2AM... 7 days a week! They have a sibling location in Las Vegas... A little more sports bar (Gym Bar like), but just a fun and inviting as the original Quadz in PS. You can enjoy trivia nights, comedy shows, karaoke and fun themes throughout the month as well as seriously crazy cool happy hour specials through the week... Say Tito's (Vodka)!!! $4 for a well drink O.O I'll take three!!! The drinks are all perfection, though that special Tiki menu (available on Tuesday)... Is a savory yes please! When there's a major event, convention or gathering like Palm Springs Pride you'll find parking nearby to be challenging, plus rideshare is always recommended #DrinkResponsibly Multiple huge free parking structures closeby make for some light walking, but if you know Palm Springs, you know parking is free and with few limits or restrictions just about anywhere in the entire Coachella Valley. There is a small shared parking lot for Quadz that is available most times of the year (not for pride) as well as parking directly on Arenas Rd (again not for pride), throughout most of the year. Some bars are cash only, especially during major weekends... However Quadz stays consistent... Which is why people enjoy it... Not to mention that gorgeous patio overlooking the Downtown Area with tables, couches and stationary seating. The inside has a good amount of space, but places to kick back or even grab a chair around/near the bar fill up first. The restroom line can get pretty long at night especially, however they're unisex which makes it go a bit faster (usually kept up). Was glad I could stop in without a wait during the tail end of the weekend and enjoy their signature video bar vibes with more monitors/flat screens than you can count (on the the patio as well)... Liza homage tribute + showtunes were a great nightcap with my nightcap on Sunday Funday. Whether you're queer, gay, bi, trans, lesbian, pan, apart of the lgbtqia+ or an ally... Quadz is for you!! And Quadz is for sure for Q ;)

I love the campy and friendly atmosphere and cool video offerings! It's a great vibe and the bartenders are great!

I am so disappointed in the way the host conducted himself. He was running a karaoke night and he was allowing some people to sing and saying no to others. He was very exclusive. As a matter of fact it was the only time this weekend I felt excluded or like I didn't belong. Our community has enough of that. Shame on him. And shame on Quadz for giving this jerk any kind of platform in our community. I would never go back.

Not sure about the new ownership. Been there three times to see if there's a pattern and there is! The cute bartenders are gone. The drinks are so weak they're laughable. But the prices are still on the upper end for PS. Go figure. Great that he kept the old vids but I can dial those up at home and without attitude. Ten bucks says this will be on the market again shortly. Bummer.

After reading both the glowing and not-so-glowing reviews, I have to agree with the latter. This place feels terribly outdated and lifeless. It's clear they cater exclusively to an older white male crowd. Honestly, I'm thrilled to see Palm Springs evolving, and places like this becoming relics of the past. Can't wait for even more fabulous changes!

Soo much fun, great vibe with the show-tunes and all the guys letting loose and singing along!

I was in Palm Springs for the first time ever last weekend. I had a lot of fun and when I come back will be going to Quads for sure. One of the funnest bars I've been at in year. I love showtunes and broadway so this bar was right up my alley. Was fun going to a gay bar on a Saturday and hearing showtunes instead of the typical bar music. And the music was at a level where you could talk to your friends. Drinks were very strong and good and reaosnably price and bartenders were great. We did Uber since we were staying at CCBC and didn't want to drive but was told there is plenty of free parking. No problems finding a ride share. The only complaint is they have only have two single stall bathrooms, so be prepared to wait if you have to go. They need to more bathrooms or make one with a stall and then turn the other one into a bathroom with multiple urinals.

Always like coming to Quadz for the variety of things offered on different nights. I join with a lot of my friends to come for Karaoke on Thursdays because we like the bartender & the usual KJ. Tonight was very disappointing because they had a substitute KJ that had no idea what he was doing. People who came in after he got started were not only put behind multiple songs of the people who got there earlier but I put my first song in at 9:30 and a friend who came in at 10:00 was called before me. Meanwhile, other singers were called several times before me and my friend. When this was brought to the KJ's attention he was verbally abusive OVER THE MICROPHONE. There are plenty of better KJs available. He should be replaced. We will not come in to sing again if he is there. Sorry to do that because I really like this bar.

Overall, Quadz is probably my favorite bar in Palm Springs. I spent my last birthday here with friends (a large group of all gay men who came in town to celebrate it with me). As part-time locals, we often come here randomly and also when friends visit us. Quadz is one of three main bars we go to in PS (all on Arenas). The customer base tends to be 30s-60s gay men that are into show tunes. It is WONDERFUL. Friday through Monday are the main Showtune nights (Friday being the best). I think they do have Karaoke on Thursday nights and a Filmaker themes night on Wednesdays, but this might have recently changed. They play a rotating set of various Broadway video music clips from classics such as Hello Dolly, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mommies Dearest, Xanadu, Chorus Line, etc. It is a GREAT place for someone like myself who loves the old musicals to be able to have a drink and sing along with everyone else to the music clips. This is not a place to come if you are 23 looking to club/dance/get some for the night (go next door to Chill Bar for that). It is also not a place for Bachelorette parties...everyone is trying to song along to the videos...you will not be welcomed as the center of attention...at all. The bartenders have always been overly welcoming to my husband (straight) and myself (pan), even though not all the clientele has. When we walk in the door, I always am prepared to take on a dirty look from that type of queen we all know who doesn't think women should exist or thinks I'm part of an annoying bridal party that's going to squeal all night. They eventually calm down* when they see I know all the words to more songs than they do. (*except that one guy who called me a See You Next Tuesday for coming into "his club" and slapped my husband for trying to defend me. Thankfully, the doormen saw what happened, sided with us, and kicked the little twerp out for good...86ed permanently due to his misogynistic behavior!) BRAVO Quadz...every one (except loud bridal parties) should feel welcome! There are two unisex bathrooms (single roomed stalls) towards the front, an outdoor area, a center bar and plenty of TVs for easy viewing from any seat in the house. They always have two different flavored sweet slushy drinks (cherry and blueberry lemonade) on tap (not normally my thing, but I admit they are both delicious)! We miss Jose and Luca serving us, but Brian is an excellent manager, the other bartenders are all fast and friendly, and Giuseppe does a great job prebussing throughout the night. We are big fans and regulars, bring them lots of business, and will continue to support them! REQUEST: PLEASE get ANY seltzer other than White Claw or Bud. Flavored Truly or Topo Chicos would be HUGE!!!! Bathrooms could use a little more help keeping clean, but we manage. It would also be really helpful if someone kept an online events calendar updated for when showtunes/karake/filmmakers nights are or are not happening. I'd be inclined to go even more on midweek "off nights" if I knew I could trust what I was expecting to experience when I get there. We always take an uber (no drinking and driving!) and have been let down when the old info posted was not up to date. I don't think there's even a website, which I understand, but social media is free to update. Otherwise, keep up the great work!

Understaffed owners should be ashamed. Nice place but if you can't get a drink then what's the point? Please work on getting staffing up to the volume of patrons. I hate to be Tell ng folks to stay away.

So we got to the bar at 6:05pm. Got in line, one bartender and there was 4 people in front of us. Then a whole bunch of people walked in and went to the other walk up area. The bartender then went to help those people. The tall bar back came in clearly overwhelmed. But my partner said something because the bartender was not helping the original line. We we questioned it the tall kid had a major drama Queen attitude and decided that he was not going to be questioned and pointed to the line that had now formed all the way to the door. Because his demeanor my partner told him to F off and he proceeded to kick him out. Then walked over to us and walked both of us out. I went back in and asked for his name and the mart ass bartender said that he didn't know, he was new! This bar has just gone down hill fast, we had high hopes. This was our last time being there.

This bar is reminds me why I love being queer! I visited two days in a row to indulge in reasonably priced drinks, served by charming bartenders, with musical theater goddesses singing on the tv screens- its bay heaven. Everyone was friendly, chatting with one another-very different than the clique culture from the gay bars in LA and SF. Can't wait to be back. Please don't ever change.

Super friendly. Great crowd. Great place to meet people. Friday and Saturday is best

On July 2 at 5:45pm, there was only one bartender at the time. I'm fully able to understand that people get overwhelmed and busy, but you should be able to keep track of who is in line, in order. However. This gentlemen's ignored me, despite asking him to come over. I'm also aware that I'm asian and look younger than I present to be. (I'm 30). But he didn't not even acknowledge my presence until my husband sat down next to me after smoking. Only makes me assume that he didn't believe I was old enough. Even so, he could've asked for my ID. This experience makes me miss Timothy. He was my favorite and never made me feel like I did today. Am I supposed to knock over glasses to grab his attention or something else? I'd be better off working here. This was a stupid experience.

Went here after I called at a 11pm with party of 4 to have some fun. Specifically asked if we would be able to do karaoke and was 15 min away they said yes. We get there and the DJ looked like he should retire told us we were too late to sign up. Granted there were only about 10 people in there and ot was only about 1115 or so. I guess it's only for their particular guest. I told the DJ they said we would be able to and he said sorry too late. This place is a joke!!!! Thanks for wasting my gas and time. I know now why it was so empty

Non-drinking introverts don't exactly thrive in bars to begin with, yet there I was - thanks to my boyfriend, who thought I might enjoy the broadway showtunes vibe. And I did. But it's small, and there's no dance floor. Yes, I want to dance to showtunes! I mean, when "One" from A Chorus Line came on, how was every man in that room not line kicking? I was so RETT to go and noone else did it. I'm like - you guys are a bunch of pansies. Anyway - I had a nice time, mostly thanks to my man. I'd probably enjoy it more on a night with Karaoke - both to watch and maybe to participate in.

Went here because chill bar had horrible service. Dan was an amazing bar tender and they have great prices good vibe and great drinks! We will definitely be back!

We have been this business most loyal customer since day 1 . Owners don't deserve us, but we go back. why? Entertainment is not the same as others. However I would never tell anyone they are good gay owners. Because for many reasons there not. I hope they find a buyer that can bring the quality they started.

New Year's Eve weekend and two bar tenders with no bar back. Everyone is complaining. Not a good look or experience.

I went to the Leslie Jordan Gone Too Soon event and had a nice time. I put it on my calendar right after it was announced and it didn't disappoint. It was the first time I had been to QUADZ. Very cool video put together by Paul Belsito and Steven Roche. Planning to keep up with their calendar for future events!

A few times I've requested they play "Everybody Loves a Lover" by Dick van Dyke and his wife Arlene & TheVantastix. Youtube is one place you can find it, it's very popular and even been in the news. Very cute - Dick is in his 90s but still singing and dancing. He and his wife have been married over 10 years. They have a wonderful chemistry in the video. Both times Quadz would not play it, with no explanation. It's interesting that a community says it's not age-ist, but often their actions don't match their words.

Cute neighborhood bar right in the heart of Palm Springs. More of a homey neighborhood bar that caters to a lot of regulars. The night we showed up happened to be showtune night. All the tv in the bar was showing musicals. The vibe was pretty chilled as it was on a Monday night. Cool crowd, a bit older but still a lot of fun. I've been when it was karaoke night and that night was blast. Over, it was fun.

Quit place. Karaoke. Showtunes. Huge patio with great sitting. Best place to people watch from patio. Friendly bartenders. Mixed crowd.

This bar is a great neighborhood bar, definitely an asset to the locals. It's mainly known for the show tunes they play several nights a week. I don't actually know most show tunes, I know, I should have my gay card revoked, but man do I have so much fun seeing folks sing every word and enjoying themselves like they were on stage on Broadway. Oh and there's this scene from an old show called "Designing Women," that they regularly play and I don't even know the context but I laugh every time! Drinks are strong and affordable, which is the sign of any good bar and staff here are friendly. Keep in mind that they're definitely more than a show tunes bar but it's definitely what they're popular for. I feel like they should change the name... it doesn't really make any sense, from what I'm told, the owners have a Quadz bar in Vegas too and wanted uniformity but it just doesn't fit the vibe. Friday night are poppin' and the best night to go!

love the bartender BAM he deserves 5 stars but please let the bartender change the music video when customers ask them too. not all of us wants to fall asleep to boring music or boring cover music. thank you!

I have been to Quadz a number of times on a number of different nights and always had a pleasant time. However, I attended the karaoke night this week and had a TERRIBLE experience. My group and I showed up with about an hour left of karaoke, and when I went to sign up for a song to sing, I was rudely told that the sign-up was closed. A few minutes later, someone was called up to sing, but they had left the bar, and so their song was skipped. Then another person was called who had also left. And another. With 3 people skipped, I hoped that maybe there might be room to squeeze me in. I walked up to the karaoke dj to ask if there was room for me given the no-shows and all he said, rudely, was "SIT DOWN". I was not sure if this was just his demeanor, or if I was being targeted (because I am black) and so I sent my white friend to see if they could sign up. Sure enough, they were able to get a sign up sheet, submit it, and have their song be called soon after. WHAT THE F***? What kind of racist nonsense is this? While this bar can be fun, the racist karaoke dj has completely turned me off and I will not be returning until they get a new one.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon, and Dan the bartender was AMAZING. Very friendly and made very yummy specialty drinks. Decided to come back later in the evening and it was a fun "showtunes night" but terrible service. My buddy couldn't get drinks or any of the two bartenders attention for 30 mins. So we ended up just having one round.

Quadz, Eagle 501, and Hunters have the most consistently friendly, approachable clientele. Quadz and Eagle have the cheapest drinks although, since I only ever order from Luka, I can't vouch for the consistency of Quadz' bartenders (Eagle's, I can). Quadz, in particular, seems to be very consistent in its pricing. If I'm not mistaken, I think wells are basically $4 at virtually any time you go. Their "sandwich board" sign never seems to change--unlike, say, Chillbar, whose prices are always changing, unlike their atrocious speed of service. Quadz and Stacy's, while being VERY different bars, seem to be your best bet on Arenas if you don't like being surrounded by hordes of people at all times. The flow of business shifts a lot more at Quadz, though -- during the day, it can be positively ghostly except for the perennial alcoholic presence of Brian. Whereas on Mondays and Thursdays, it picks up more and gets a little livelier. Karaoke on Thursday nights is very, very fun here. Michael manages it very well, the flow (and sobriety) of participants is always reasonable, and the mix of karaoke regulars and PS tourists is always fairly consistent. It never gets so slow that it feels too sparse for shy people to sing. And it also never gets so busy that the rotation is too long to get your turn or two at the mic. Overall, Quadz is a fairly inoffensive and likable-enough presence in the hood although it's rare to see anyone but the alcoholics park themselves here all night; the flow of customers is too irregular.

The music videos could be so much more effective if they were shorter segments and more about comedy. I thought the bar service was very slow. Otherwise, great place!

We went to this bar today for a few drinks. We have been there many times before. Today we walked in...there were ZERO other patrons there and we had a group of six. We proceeded to sit at a table three feet from the bar. When I went to move ONE of the chairs with a back on it from the bar to the table (again...a total of three feet) the bartender threw a hissey fit and told me under no circumstances could I move the chair from the side of the bar. I needed the chair with the back on it due to personal back issues. Given the bartender's attitude we all got up and left and took the $200+ we were planning to spend with us. We talked about the incident with others at other bars and they told us they were surprised we walked into Quadz to begin with. It makes you wonder why nobody was in there. :-/

I went here to enjoy the ac during a 118 degree day so I could cool down but the server felt not like a very welcome person. I have asked in many bars about a michelada and many or the bartenders have told me they don't know how to make one but I could tell them how to make one. This bartender gave a cold response instead of saying sorry I don't know how to make one. He directly said "no!" With some unfriendly attitude. Anyways, I like going to Quads because I know it is chill but some of the bartenders need to work in hospitality. You are not only going to serve white folks but folks from all walks of life.

Unorganized. Terrible food. They got my order wrong 3X. Service was bad. Music was bad. You get the picture. I had a long days work. I wanted to relax have a drink and some food. I left the place more stressed and upset than before I got there.

Im not very impressed with the service. The karaoke host could have been more lively.

Quadz one of my favorite hangouts when in Palm Springs, which is 4-5 times a year. Was there over Memorial Day weekend. While I appreciate the mask rule, that went out the door once inside. Service was very poor this time around. No walk up bar service, you had to wait for table service which was lacking. Entered establishment at 7:00pm order one drink and was not served again until almost 08:40pm. Unacceptable. Being a holiday they should have anticipated staffing a little better. What can i say, I am a sucker for show tunes but the service has got to get better. Will be back in August and will write another review to see if things improved.

Could you please ask the DJ to not play political videos? To some people this can be very upsetting and with all that we are going through to escape in showtunes is a luxury.

I have always loved Quads and the staff. Kind and professional. As a gay man, I work tirelessly to dispel hate. I embrace tolerance and all peoples. Yet, whenever I visit Quads during showtunes, I must endure celebrities, videos, and a negative media presentation that repeatedly says F#%K to a former president. Let's show respect, tolerance, and graciousness to our fellow man. Its egregious that the staff continues to spread this vile hate. Practice what you preach boys. Stand up. Set an example. Stop the Hate. I love you guys. We all need to be more responsible.

Please no more Hello Dolly. And what happened to the stiff drinks. I've been coming to Spurline now Quadz for many years. We love the videos and the fun atmosphere. Last week at Pride we had a great time with the new patio. We were only drinking beer. This weekend we ordered mixed drinks. Might as well have been water. Sent one back because is was all juice. So sad to see this super fun bar slide down hill. Not sure if I'm coming back. I miss Spurline. I should say that the waiter was working really hard. The bar was very slow.

Completely disappointed in what the bar has become. SpurLine was so much fun, friendly and the atmosphere was always happy which is why I chose to begin a birthday celebration here. First off, the show-tunes are only a few nights and not the night we were there which was ok but the biggest disappointment is in the staff and the drinks. I ordered a Vodka Tonic, a Mai Tai and a Stella for my party and the drinks were god awful. How do you mess up a vodka tonic?? The bartender who was blonde clearly was bothered I said there was not a drop of vodka in the drink, he poured some of the drink out topping off with whatever well and walked away without eye contact. After a couple of sips it was still very bad, my friends Mai Tai was awful bad as well and I returned them back to the bar and said these are the worst drinks ever. He scoffed and just walked away. I did not ask for my money back we just left. As we did he rudely grabbed them from the bar telling a manager we refused the drinks. I have been to Quadz in Las Vegas and that bar is god awful in service as well. Rebranding Spurline was a mistake. Perhaps the bad service transferred over....

Has been one of my fav bars in the past, however last couple times I've been there it's been awful. The guy with the cut off shirt and cleavage is terrible. No customer service skills and super rude.

Love this place Awesome videos Amazing karaoke Everyone,including the bartenders are always friendly Drinks are always made GREAT "strong" This is the place to be when u want some friendly bartenders who have karaoke & awesome drinks

I went to this bar to grab a beer the other day and have to say out of all the gay bars I've been to in Palm Springs, they have the most friendly bartenders. I went back the next day and 2 different bartenders were working who were great! Their drink prices are also reasonable and they have a nice crowd, it's definitely my new favorite bar. Also they play great videos too!

Great local bar. Good drinks, good bartenders, and good atmosphere. Can never go wrong here. A great place to come have have a relaxing afternoon or early evening cocktail. Not party central but a nice place to hang out.

Gay bar + musical sing-a-longs + stiff drinks = a rather interesting evening. While I can't say it's my favorite combo, it's definitely a unique one to see in the flesh. Since the musical mashup videos take center stage, all eyes are fixated on the screens, so there's a lack of energy you'd expect from such a Birdcage charade, and even when everyone's singing and hand gesturing like Italian drag queens, there's no "we're all in this together" group vibe to boost the mood. Also, vanilla vodka and pineapple juice should never touch ones lips at the same time.

Hey -- this was a fun gay bar. Older crowd, but very friendly. They have video screens and have some fun traditions during certain songs (mostly Broadway or classic Hollywood scenes). For example, during the song "Be Italian" from Nine, they pass out tamborines. Strong drinks and even as a visitor, they remembered what I ordered.

Great karaoke selections, amazing staff, cheap drinks? Yeah Thursdays are the days to go. Sure youre more than welcome to visit on a Friday or Saturday but nothing beats live music and an intimate crowd you can be buds with by the end of the night. It was my 1st time in palm springs and I know this will forever be a go to spot when i visit. If youre not here then youre stupid and clearly love sweaty over crowded bars and cheap cover bands.... get a life and chill at Spurline. Plus you can request your own music videos, stfu.

Wednesday Happy Hours are fun with specially made videos for the venue. I shoot for this day . Very fun .

Recently moved here to ride out quarantine in Cathedral City. Tired of being cooped up at home, I decided to check boys town (street, really) and heard the familiar strains of a show tune! Went on over to Quadz, where they had Broadway and other musical numbers on a bunch of TV monitors. Patio seating only, understandably since we went back a notch on the Covid color wheel. It was a festive crowd but lots of distancing and some good space. I went up to the door person to get in (it wasn't quite clear where the entrance was since the inside bar was off limits). He proceeded to tell me he didn't have a table/seat/place for one. After I repeated my request, since I couldn't believe what he was saying, he reiterated that there was no room for me. Hurt and frustrated I walked away only to see him let in a pretty person party of 8 right behind me. So the new gay in town, because he's single and a little older gets snubbed for a bunch of young partiers. Shame on you Quadz for treating anyone like they are less than. I came out here to find a new neighborhood and a new safe place to land. What better place, so I thought, than one that shows musicals! There's enough hate in this world. Thanks for showing me the real Quadz. Never. Again.

Great video bar to sit back and relax and enjoy a cocktail watching videos lighting could be better it's a little too dark but that could be due to the fact that it's a video bar.
