Now Serving Flavor<\/span><\/h3>\n

Head to Booze<\/a><\/span>hounds<\/a> for Sunday Tea n\u2019 Shade, a high-energy, diva-led drag lunch featuring local queen Sabryna Williams and her troupe, The Lunchettes. At this dog-friendly restaurant, executive chef Aric Ianni, a desert native, brings global nuance to California cuisine \u2014 try the maguro tataki salad with seared tuna, avocado, radishes, crispy shallots, and a creamy sesame dressing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitchiest Brunch, the mother of all drag brunches in Palm Springs, launched at Oscar\u2019s<\/a> in 2018, making it the longest-running in the desert. Each Sunday, Anita Rose emcees a spirited show of talented performers, while guests dig into a classic brunch menu with a Cuban twist. During Greater Palm Springs Pride<\/a> on Nov. 7, head to the Oscar\u2019s Stage to see rapper Blac Chyna followed by Grammy-winning DJ Tracy Young. <\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Straight Out of the Closet<\/span><\/h3>\n

With sequined Jennafer Grace caftans, R-rated Taschen coffee-table books, and stickers proclaiming, \u201cIf being gay was a choice, I\u2019d be gayer,\u201d Peepa\u2019s<\/a> is a go-to for women\u2019s clothing, souvenirs, and gifts.

The crowned winner receives $1,111, a nod to the bar\u2019s name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also in Cathedral City, The Roost Lounge<\/a> welcomes patrons for open-mic nights accompanied by live piano, weekly karaoke on Tuesdays, and a lineup of DJs and performers. The bar also supports local nonprofits through annual fundraising events and accepts donations to The Roost Scholarship Fund, which provides financial aid to those seeking higher education. <\/span><\/p>\n

Stay and Slay<\/span><\/h3>\n

A pink paradise dreamed up by RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race All Stars <\/i>Season 3 winner Trixie Mattel, the Trixie Motel<\/a> embodies pure femme energy. Each themed room draws fans from around the world: Buzzing hexagonal shapes light up the orange-and-yellow Oh Honeymoon Suite; a flying-saucer fixture crowns the Atomic Bombshell Room; and the Malibu Barbara Room leans full tilt into tropical fantasy. Even the exterior is painted pink. <\/span><\/p>\n

For men seeking a swimsuit-optional getaway, Descanso Resort provides a serene and social retreat amid manicured gardens and tall hedges for maximum privacy. Amenities include a daily continental breakfast, lunch, and complimentary nonalcoholic drinks from its 24-hour cantina.<\/span><\/p>\n

PRIDE GUIDE<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s a Beautiful Day in the Gayborhood<\/h3>\n

Because Pride season never ends in the Arenas District.<\/em><\/p>\n

Named the official gay district of Palm Springs in 2022, the Arenas District encompasses the stretch of Arenas Road between South Indian Canyon Drive and South Calle Encilia. Streetbar, the first gay bar in the city, opened in 1991, paving the way for the neighborhood that thrives today.<\/p>\n

On any given night, packed patios and pulsing nightclubs promise a lively place to see and be seen. By day, locally owned restaurants and boutiques keep the good times going.<\/p>\n

The Arenas District hosts community events like the Big Gay BBQ<\/a> (June), Halloween Palm Springs<\/a> (October), and Greater Palm Springs Pride<\/a> (November), closing the road to traffic and inviting food vendors and merchants to line the street instead.<\/p>\n

No matter your identity, Arenas has a place for you \u2014 just follow the music and margaritas.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
