I’ve been going to the Desert Room for over 30 years. Much more fun, better food than the fictional TV bar “Cheers”. I’ve met many great friends and haven’t many fond memories at The desert Room. My late Mother, Irene, loved this great dive bar too. Shout out to Carol and the crowd. ~ All Thompson.

Fun bar with live music much of the time. My partner played a gig there and it was a good crowd and mix of people from all walks of life. Sunday nights are jam nights for anyone who wants to play. All around fun spot!

My husband and I really dig this place, came here at least twice for a date night. But for some reason the bartenders always seem too busy for us, takes forever to get a drink. It’s also a surprise to me that people got food at this place cause every time we’ve come they got no munchies, not even chips

I had been going to the Desert Room for some time when I moved to Gardena in 2017. However, last May, I had a very horrific incident happen in which one of their bartenders named Amber, refused to serve me because I had come with a person she had a personal vendetta against and I told her off. The issue is that she did not refuse to serve me right away (she served me one drink when I arrived), but she arbitrarily decided not to serve me another drink after the first one. When I asked her why, she merely stated, “You know why” as she glared at me across the bar. After I told her that she would regret that, she came from around the bar and shoved me on the shoulder, causing me to stagger back. When I returned the next day to speak to the elderly lady that manages the bar, she listened to my account, but basically backed up her bartender and refused to do anything about it, stating that she would speak with her. To my knowledge, she is still employed there. While in some cases I think that it would be warranted to back up the people you manage behind your bar, had I gone to the cops or got hurt, it could have been a potential lawsuit on their hands. The way they handled the whole incident was appalling, completely unacceptable, and unprofessional. I wanted to end the review by saying that overall, the other bartenders are really great, and the drinks are good and moderately priced. It also has a quaint little atmosphere with a pool table and another room for antiques and books, which is quite charming. Occasionally they offer free popcorn and finger foods, which is also nice. It’s too bad I will not be returning. I would also like to recommend that anyone who would like to avoid potentially getting physically assaulted stay far and away. Donna’s, Froggys, and Party on Western are all better alternatives and don’t hire temperamental criminals.
