What a fun place. We came for the evening drag show and Mayhem Miller was the MC. A great show! The waiters were fun and very attentive to our group.The show was pretty consistently entertaining. There were a couple of performers that really stood out from the pack and they made the show so much fun!The crowd was very engaged and made it even more entertaining. We had a birthday celebration going on in our group and were escorted on stage for some Q&A and shots. Birthday girl had a great time!! I would say that a great time was had by all. A fun place and a great show.We stayed after for a while as we heard there would be a DJ and music with dancing. It was awkward as the dancing was just around the bar area, no real dance floor. We ended up leaving and moving to there bars in the area. Chill did have the best music by far.

My favorite place to chill out from stress. Nice patio seating and the ambiance is good. Loved their selection of drinks too.

The place has a fundamental problem in that it was designed poorly from the get-go. The bar is in the center of the room and the interior space for the bar staff was created so generously that theres hardly any room for the patrons around the exterior. Everybody is rather shoved up against the walls or the windows, and it feels unnecessarily crowded even when its not. I agree with those who find the standards of cleanliness rather off-putting.

Chill is poorly designed, unclean and extremely unfriendly. This place is just as bad as hunters. It’s filled with rude gossiping queens and people ready to pick your pockets if your not careful. Not to mention, the music was so loud you couldn’t even have a conversation

I wen there last friday and saturday when i was visiting palm springs. In my opinion this is the best place that i found for dancing with a great music and vibe. I wish there were more oldies though but apart from all fun.

Nice place. My bartender was Brandon and he was great. I was there Sunday afternoon so it might have been happy hour. Drinks were cheap. After that decided to try the bar across the street and the same drink was twice the price.

I work in the food and beverage industry and love coming here after shift. This is a great neighborhood bar. Theres a great selection of spirits, the bartenders are friendly and drinks come out quick. Ali is one of the most hospitable bartenders Ive met and always makes it a point to set the mood with the music he plays. If youre in the neighborhood, make it point to stop by for a cocktail. You wont be disappointed.

Not the friendliest staff, more on the arrogant side (this was Tuesday night)Do expect to see cockroaches at the bar (WTF). The one on the pic next to my beer is the smallest one, the big ones ran too fast. Lol

Large gay bar. Front and side patios, large main bar, faker bask bar with dance floor and, on Sundays, go-go men (not boys). One or two of the stars are for featuring the areas hottest go-go Rick. Decent prices for their tasty cocktails.

Chill bar is a fun upbeat place with a good pour. They host events weekly from bingo to game day to drag shows. Good size patio, 2 main rooms each with their own bar.

Great space. Well dri ks are weak and cost 9 dollars. Maybe go to streetbar first to drink. Here after to dance, but you can go back across the street for drinks if you chug...lol, why would anyone come here for LA drink prices I wonder

Dj Tony was stuck up and rude and the drink weren’t cheap but the space is nice.

Very hard for me to understand why anyone would go to this bar. The service is slow, slow, slow, the bartenders act like they couldnt care less, and the staff doesnt even look you in the face. I ordered a cocktail and a Pepsi and gave the bartender a $20. and when I asked about my change he shrugged and walked away. Almost any other bar in the Valley is a better option.

Returned to Chill ( after a month) this evening Wednesday January 15, great music, good value.Sadly bar tender inattentive, unfriendly .slow to serve, did not make change, dismissive altitude....unable to make eye contact...overcharged people next to me...Unlike the new bartender, who was about service!No Wifi anymore?Very disappointed.

My favorite bar in boystown.. the drinks are great, bartenders fast, outdoor patio is always clean and the music is great.. They have really nice televisions all throughout the club playing happy videos its very up beat here and its always happy. The pool tables are great in the back and its always busy but never crowded. I highly recommend this bar over all of the others on arenas

Update... September 3rdStopped by on September 3rd.. had a beverage at the main bar. A mess...Please... City of Palm Springs and Riverside County Health Department inspect and culture this bar. The public is going to get sick. The bar is FILTHY.________________________Sunday: July 15, 2018:Bar.. Is DIRTY. Not that many people were at the place.. But the bar was filthy. We sat down at the main bar. BAR TOP WAS GROSS. SOMEONE PLEASE.... GET SOME CLEAN RAGS.. DISINFECTANT.. AND WIPE DOWN THE ENTIRE PLACE..There is no reason for a bar of this caliber to be filthy. The city of Palm Springs and Riverside County Health Department needs to inspect and test Chill Bar for contamination.WATCHING the staff handle the glasses, not cleaning the bar tops, and NOT washing their hands (AT ALL) is beyond SCARY.WHY ARE THE STANDARDS SO LOW?HOW ABOUT:*Hand SANITIZER behind the bar for the STAFF...*WIPE DOWN THE BAR TOPS AND TABLES between guest... Thats a basic standard in any restaurant and bar.. Why is it not a standard at Chill Bar.?*****CLEAN THE BATHROOM..... GROSS..

Good drinks and food. I stopped here on a Friday night and it was a little crowded but you have to expect that on a weekend.

I usually like to come a have a few drinks and dance a couple of songs. Sometimes I like to support fundraisers. I won a prize at a fundraiser so finally I decided to cash in my voucher. To my suprise they changed management. And the current person in charge (Shawn) called me a liar that my voucher was fake. The embarrassment that this caused me in front of my guest and friends was unbearable. I might be thinking twice now if I might like to return.

They have a Yelp checkin offer to get free hummus. It seems like they ran out of hummus while we were there but the servers were nice enough to switch it up for a plate of bruschetta.

Always have a great time there, happy hour is great chill beer is $1.75 a pint during happy hours and always ice cool. All bartenders are great and friendly. Music is never to load til the young people start coming in for the late night fun and dance. Stright and gay men and women, very clean games to play and meet new friends.

When I was young, this was the type of place Id frequent. In todays world though the gay nightclubs (vs bars) are a lot different than in my day. More straights (women and men), bigger prices, and more windows...haha...All in all, a good place for the young crowd to gather.

Its the best (cheapest) happy hour on arenas, but when they get busy its impossible to get a drink. And they do get busy, its very popular.Im a tuff critical reviewer, my 3 is everybody else 4. Check it out, and open till 4pm its the best price in this town.

A medium sized gay bar that is hetero-friendly. There is an outside terrace with seating. Attracts a mix of ages. Mid price drinks.

Review №44

This was my favorite of the group of bars on this street. The name says its all, its chill. The music was on point all night. Old school hip hop, RNB, Pop, just a little bit of everything. They have a dance room then a bar room with a terrace. You can just keep walking back and forth. We left here and went over to another club across the road it felt like a real club scene and wasnt as relaxed. This place also gets all ages, all types, and all people. Was a nice group of people there.

Worst experience ever, Ken the manager is the worst, now i know why they let him go from Toucans, cause he doesnt know what hes doing, would never go back, used to spend 100rds per night, horrible night, noticed that staff was high on weed, so they called the cops, but customer is wrong, officer Larson from Palm Springs PD, stated it was legal for an employee to be high, that it is up to the owner whether try allowed it

Avoid this bar at all cost. Bartender with the accent was awfully rude, 32 dollars for a beer and a drink. Ask for a receipt. Dont even dare ask for a cup of water, its probably 20 dollars anyway.
