I'm going to Palm Springs, CA soon, can guys give me some suggestions on bars and clubs?
mindgarden saidNever been there. It seems to be, like, the closest warm place to escape to at this time of year. However, nobody has ever been adequately able to explain to me what the fuck there is to do there.

However, nobody has ever been adequately able to explain to me what the fuck there is to do there.When I think of Palm Springs, I think of exclusive golf courses geared towards wealthy celebrities and modern, luxurious houses that have a swimming pool ranging from a decorative pool to an Olympic sized pool. Last I heard, there was a strict four story height limit in Palm Springs, keeping the community low rise and spread out. It was also a major spring break destination for college students from throughout the Western US.
GigoloAssassin saidOne of these days I gotta go out there, check the scenery.Be sure to take your speedos with you because I heard that they are required attire around all swimming pools

On Thursdays, they close down the streets downtown and have an open market. Go to the National Park.You take a tram to the top of the mountain..It's a must see..Lastly, rent a atv and ride around in the desert..I had a blast.

By now you've probably already come and gone, but... Many of the comments here are quite hysterical and rather rude. I live in PS full-time and there's lots to do- depending on what you want.
You asked for bars/clubs- we don't go out, so the lists given are what's around, plus some 'leather-ish' 'denim' type places such as the Tool Shed in PS and Digs in the next town over, Cathedral City.
Bars and clubs are the same everywhere. There is great hiking, both flat & easy and vertical and challenging, biking, tennis, (of course golf) a very good small art museum, great mid-century and Spanish architecture (and great tours) and of course relaxation which is why most people come here.
There is not a lot of exceptional food here, but the best and most consistent restaurant in town is Johannes, on Indian Canyon in downtown.
When you come, be sure to visit a great 'boutique' gay gym, WorkOUT on N Palm Canyon Drive. Friendly staff, members without attitude and nice equipment.

Fridays happy hour at Wang's in the Desert (Indian Canyon) is always packed and is also a good restaurant, as is the Sunday afternoon tea dance at Oscar's (Indian Canyon and Tahquitz). Street Bar almost always has a crowd. Hunter's on Arenas is popular on the weekends. Check out the Barracks (leather/kink bar)on Palm Canyon in Cathedral City. Trio, the Tropicale, Lulu, Spencers. Azul, and Sherman's Deli are nice places to eat.
The National Park mentioned above is Joshua Tree. Very beautiful. There is also a place for taking some shorter hikes a few miles outside of town called Thousand Palms Oasis. It's free and very beautiful, an authentic oasis in the desert out in the middle of nowhere. It kind of looks prehistoric. For shopping, go to El Paseo in Palm Desert and the designer outlets at Cabazon. A drive up Highway 74 (Palms to Pines highway) is very scenic. It starts at that bottom of the mountain in Palm Desert.
And at 47, in Palm Springs you are going to be a youngster almost every place you go.
GeekJockHybrid saidIn Palm Springs you will find a strange combination of old gay men, Chrystal meth tweekers, and nude resorts. There is a white party that happens there where you will meet even more meth users. If you into that sort of thing then you will have fun. If you have outgrown that and you like to lay around and do nothing, then you will have a relaxing time. If you are a more energetic kind of guy but also drug free then you will be bored out of your mind.

Well I flew out to visit an older friend about ten years ago and let me say I was quite the hit (to his giddiness) at the Cactus Club!
