Boozehounds Palm Springs was established in 2020 and has served as a go-to restaurant for dog owners from LA, San Diego, Coachella Valley, and beyond. Boozehounds was started by three friends for one simple reason… they loved dogs and dreamed of owning a place where people could take their pups, enjoy an awesome cocktail or fab meal, and socialize in style. Making sure the pup was the real VIP of course! Choose from the sexy and stylish dining room and lounge facing the gorgeous San Jacinto mountains, dine in the open-air atrium, or enjoy the picturesque vacation vibes at the cabana bar and patio. Who doesn’t love a little mai tai moment?Both the Atrium and Patio are dog-friendly zones and offer water bowls and a pup-friendly menu.

The food and service were excellent as we reliably find. Our only disappointment was the seating, which felt like down a drab corridor as there wasn’t a table in the main area, bright with windows. Reportedly tables are assigned by computer but ask for the main room if you can.

It was a Friday night and the restaurant was busy. Food and service was good. The staff assisted each other and spoke wish the guests giving a more personal touch. Some of the staff were friendly and funny. It was my Spouse’s 80th birthday and the evening was festive and fun. Lot of laughter and good food. The highlight of our evening was meeting the owner Jimmy B.
