Went to Bootlegger after a long hot day of June hiking in Joshua Tree, and a gigantic Reuben at Sherman's so was pretty dead.

Decor is dark and immersive.

We were seated in a booth and I wish we were at the bar because we were seemingly forgotten about (even though it is a small place with maybe 3 booths). When the drinks finally did come they were excellent, but the horrible service cut the visit shorter than I wanted. I would definitely try to sit at the bar at a future visit, because the bartender seemed much more engaged with customers then the table server.

Bootlegger Tiki opened in 2014, in the same spot that decades prior had housed the Palm Springs location of Don the Beachcomber. The owners also operate Ernest Coffee, right nextdoor. The walls and ceiling are lined with lauhala mats and Asian-motif graphic wallpaper, framed by bamboo. A creative slate of craft-inspired tiki cocktails are offered. There is a small covered outdoor patio.
