Our first trip to Palm Springs. Had a list of places we wanted to check out, and since our VRBO wasn’t ready yet, we headed over to the Reef, which was on our list. What we found was a fun little bar, with a friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled bartender. The food was really good, and so were the drinks. My wife had the Coconut Shrimp, and I had the Chicken Fingers. Both had great flavor and were delivered piping hot. For drinks, my wife had the Classic Mai Tai and I had the Painkiller. Both were well mixed and plenty boozy. We meant to get back there before we left, but ran out of time. Palm Springs is now in our destinations rotation so we will be back at the Reef again in the future.

Solo female traveler who felt welcomed. Old school tiki bar with great servers and bartenders. Especially nice on its patio overlooking the pool at night.

Was recommended to visit this place by someone in my area and I’m so glad we went. This was a memorable experience and everything we ordered was delicious.

Cool vibes, great food and service. We ordered the Reef pupu platter which was plenty for two. My husband ordered a zombie drink and I ordered the Palm Springs punch. We requested a spot with nice cool ac and it sure was chilly it was a nice escape from the heat.

The happy hour drinks and spam musubi tacos were awesome and our server was so kind (I believe his name was Richard?)! Very cute but casual tiki vibe in an indoor/poolside setting, will return next time I’m in Palm Springs

Before Haystack this was the place for burgers and if non descript Tiki isn’t your thing over at Bootlegger this is your spot because it’s vacation epitomized.
It doesn’t havea the SE Pacific Tiki aesthetic, but more the island vibez. It’s far more Carribbean mixed with Hawaiian which to me is more authentic. Think DIstant Shores, which could be anywhere that’s warm and sandy.
HH here is roughly everything is $10 or less and they don’t skimp on glassware, garmish, ice, etc.
The burgers are all hefty, juicy, well thoughtout flavors and worthy of visits just for the burgers. The Blue Cheese is super creamy with large crumbles that seep into all the nooks and crannies though it’s not a smash burger they use a medium grind. THe Hawaiian Cowboy or as I like to call it “Aloha Cowboy” has texture for days, crispy onion bits, gooey cheese, frings and both a pineapple and smokey bbq sauce. Chef’s burger is pretty standard bacon, cheese, grilled onions (though I wish they were truely carmelized).
Fish and Chips are good, but I wish they had malt vinegar becuase it’s the one thing the Brits do well for food and they should emulate them instead of the non traditional LJS style. Tartar and cole are basic. Coconut Shrimp, but jumbo’s. Super crunchy, think Chili’s 1990’s. The Loco Moco is where it’s at though, I went beef and pork pattys with an extra egg and gravy becuase I kinda like to eat it like a stew of yolk, gravy and rice with chunks of patty.
I could go on and on about the drinks, but they are all solid and well priced. Service is better when it’s busier, they run more efficient when the kitchen and bar are humming. When it’s slow they don’t make their rounds as often. Decor is tropical, but not dark and that usual tiki “controlled environment”, remember it’s still Palm Springs, so it’s plenty of retirees and snowbirds along with Coastal Californians looking for a getaway and not as many Tikiphiles as you’d expect.

This is a cute little tiki bar tucked away at the Caliente at the south end of the strip. If you’re staying in the hotels down there like the V the Ace or Saguaro it’s the perfect spot to start off your night because the drinks are strong tiki drinks. The staff is really nice and the atmosphere is chill, very cool and tiki.

This place is unlike any tiki place I have been. Stopped in just to see the place on a road trip since we love tiki and history and ended up booking at the Caliente and going to the Reef for dinner. Place is off the hook! Great food and drinks just steps from the pool. They have a stage and heard they do live music, though, no one was playing when we were there. Family-friendly as we had our 5 year old with us. If you haven’t been here, you are DEFINITELY missing out. No question, we’ll be back. Just not soon enough!

Went to this place for the first time with my tiki loving mom. The history and atmosphere are unbelievable, the drinks were delicious and fairly priced for tiki and the fish and chips were some of the best I’ve ever had. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was the service wasn’t the best, we did a lot of waiting while there and our waitress seemed to not really want to deal with us, could have just been a rough day though. Will definitely be back in the future!

The young lady that greeted us on the afternoon of 10/5 was so kind and pleasant. We were chose to seat ourselves. We chose a table we wanted that had been cleared but not wiped. It never got wiped during our visit. Then our server showed up. She never smiled. Even when she dropped the food off she never even said anything. I was more excited to leave than I was to arrive. I expected good food with a side of fun. That’s what I thought they sold. The food was good. Also the pool area was littered with cups and trash and it looked like the aftermath of a pool party that no one cleaned during our entire visit. This was a one and done and I would not recommend it.
