Hair of the Dog — Restaurant in Palm Springs

Hair of the Dog is a pretty cool sports bar that verges on being a billiards hall, with 6 fairly well-maintained pool tables and above average pool sticks available. I can’t comment on the food as I haven’t tried it, but the drinks are solid, and they have a good selection of beers and liquors.

The staff are friendly, it’s an easygoing atmosphere—although bordering on divey vs. elevated—and you can play pool, darts, or pinball. They also have both front and back patios for smoking, and have a cigarette vending machine. Overall a pretty good spot on Palm Canyon to hang out with friends.

Mainly filled with racist boomers making horrible comments about natives, blacks, and the LGBTQ communities. One of the bouncers/doormen is also racist (IMO). Saw him yell at a group of hispanics when they played Mexican music and were having a good time, but does nothing when alternative music is played. I’ve never tried the food, so cannot comment on that. I never post reviews, but had to this time. Taking my business elsewhere and will...
