Venue Detail
OneEleven Bar
About this venue
OneEleven Bar is a vibrant, locally gay-owned cocktail lounge and entertainment hub that serves as a premier destination for the Greater Palm Springs LGBTQ+ community.Located just minutes down the road from downtown Palm Springs in Cathedral City (situated directly across from Trader Joe's), this spotless and stylish venue was formerly known as Studio One 11. It has masterfully carved out a reputation as an intimate, less chaotic alternative to the crowded Arenas Road bar crawl. It seamlessly shifts gears throughout the week, offering a cozy, conversational piano lounge setting with live vocals by day, before exploding into high-energy karaoke, cabaret, and spectacular, high-production drag showcases by night
