Bootlegger Tiki Bar in Palm Springs, CA

Tiki bars in Palm Springs just make sense. When the weather is warm and the sun is shining bright, something about a dark bar with tropical drinks sounds just perfect.

Bootlegger Tiki checks all the boxes—read on to learn why.

The lighting inside Bootlegger’s is a neon red color. There are just a few booths on one side with a bar on the other. It’s a small, intimate space.

There’s also an outdoor space that might just work in the cooler months, but to get the full experience, we recommend an indoor table.

The drinks here are fantastic.
