Gertie’s Salon & Bar is an LGBTQ+ Palm Springs cocktail lounge and cultural salon where community members and allies gather. It pours craft cocktails, curated wines, premium spirits, and non-alcoholic options, while a kitchen serves elevated comfort fare and shareable plates.

A Warm LGBTQ+ Gathering Place

Inspired by the literary salons of Gertrude Stein, Gertie’s is both a modern bar and a cultural hub within a 55-plus LGBTQ+ residential community. Its LGBTQ+ identity is direct and welcoming, offering a place for community members and allies to connect and belong. The lounge sits alongside its sister restaurant in Palm Springs.

Drinks and Comfort-Food Plates

The bar offers craft cocktails, curated wines, premium spirits, and thoughtfully selected non-alcoholic choices. Food is available on site in the form of elevated comfort fare and shareable plates, including biscuits with cardamom honey, shrimp cocktail, smoked gouda macaroni and cheese, and a signature burger. This is a lounge where you can comfortably make dinner part of your visit.

Live Culture and Easy Arrival

Live music and cabaret are regular fixtures, joined by cultural salons with authors, historians, and creatives, plus comedy and special events. Reservations are encouraged when entertainment is scheduled, and larger parties can call ahead to arrange availability. Complimentary valet parking is available for all guests, while walk-ins are seated when space permits.

Come for a crafted drink and a shareable plate, then make space for the conversation, cabaret, or cultural programming that gives Gertie’s its social character.
