Let’s say it’s 4 or 5 on any afternoon (the day of the week is inconsequential) and you’re looking for a drink. The Hair of the Dog is a small English pub that, well, still has the lingering smell of all those years of cigarette smoke. We’ll start our tour with Sonny Bono’s hangout when he was in town. Locals wear jeans and long shirts (guys) or casual skirts and blouses (gals). The dress code is shorts and sandals for visitors. Granted, there are other places placed throughout the Valley – the s ushi bar at the Palm Desert Marriott and for sports the Yard House in “The River” in Rancho Mirage, for example, but Palm Springs has a great stretch of bars all within 5-6 blocks along its main drag (oops, maybe we shouldn’t call it that here!), Palm Canyon Drive. approaches this review as if it’s a pub crawl. A few hours out in the downtown bars and the places may change but not necessarily the faces.Īnd quite frankly, that’s not a bad thing. Okay, just to set the record straight, Palm Springs isn’t exactly Mykonos in the Greek Islands. And it’s a small town.
