Bootlegger Tiki

Downtown

2 editorial illustrations

Bootlegger Tiki is a compact, red-lit cocktail room hidden behind Ernest Coffee in Palm Springs' Uptown Design District. The bar's focus is rum: layered tropical drinks, fresh citrus and house combinations served in a room that feels closer to a private hideaway than a resort lounge. Its small footprint is part of the appeal, but it also means a spontaneous late-night visit can involve a wait. Come for a focused round rather than a full evening—there is no kitchen, and the entrance is deliberately easy to miss.

Hours
Sun, Mon & Thu 3–11pm; Fri–Sat 3pm–midnight; closed Tue–Wed during the posted summer schedule. Check the official site for seasonal changes.

Before you go

  • Reserve ahead on weekend evenings; the room has very limited seating.
  • Eat before arriving—the bar does not operate a kitchen.
  • Look behind Ernest Coffee for the entrance rather than expecting a large street sign.
