ABOUT GERTIE’S

The Art of

Gathering

Where art, entertainment, sips, nibbles, and splendid company all share the same table

Long before social media, there were salons. In early 20th-century Paris, Gertrude Stein transformed her living room into one of the world’s most influential salons where artists, writers, and musicians came together to share ideas, challenge conventions, and build community. That spirit lives on at Gertie’s.

Nestled beneath the desert sky, Gertie’s Salon & Bar brings the timeless art of gathering to Palm Springs

It’s a place where strangers become friends, conversations become connections, and every evening offers the possibility of something unexpected. Here, everyone has a seat at the table. You’ll find warm hospitality, engaging entertainment, delicious food and drink options, and a community that celebrates authenticity, creativity, and inclusion. Whether you're a longtime local, a seasonal resident, or visiting Palm Springs for the first time, Gertie's welcomes you exactly as you are.

Come for the atmosphere. Stay for the people. Return for the feeling.
