Playoffs
Welcome to Playoffs, a vibrant sports bar nestled in the heart of Desert Hot Springs, California. Located at 12105 Palm Dr, this establishment is not just a place to grab a bite; it’s a community hub where locals gather for good food, drinks, and unforgettable experiences, especially during major sports events.
As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I can confidently say that Playoffs excels in delivering a mouthwatering menu that caters to all appetites. Their Boneless Wings are a must-try, featuring crispy pieces tossed in a variety of housemade sauces. Whether you prefer the fiery Desert Hot Wings or the regional twist of Cabot's BBQ Wings with prickly pear cactus barbecue sauce, each option is bursting with flavor, bringing a unique spin to traditional wing offerings. The Asian Sticky Wings are another standout, pairing beautifully with the crunch of fried wontons and a hint of sesame seeds, creating a delightful contrast of textures.
Small bites are equally enticing, with options like Swee Potato Fries paired with your choice of ranch or spicy ranch, and Veggie Spring Rolls served with sweet and sour sauce. You cannot go wrong with the Crispy Pork Egg Rolls and the classic Mozzarella Sticks, both of which come with their own dipping sauces that amplify their deliciousness.
But Playoffs is more than just food; it’s about the experience. Customers rave about the welcoming atmosphere, where everyone feels at home. The establishment features pool tables and big screens, making it an ideal spot for game nights or casual hangouts. Reviewers have noted the friendly staff, with bartenders who take the time to get to know their customers, adding a personal touch to each visit. It's a place where you'll find bikers, suits, and everyone in between, creating a diverse and inclusive crowd that truly enhances the experience.
As one customer described, the cleanliness of the venue, even the restrooms, is impressive, adding to the overall positive vibe. With regular events like trivia nights and karaoke, there’s always something happening at Playoffs, making it a fantastic place to unwind and connect with others.
If you're in the area or seeking a great spot to catch the game, sip on affordable drinks, and enjoy delectable food, I highly recommend heading to Playoffs. You won’t just leave satisfied; you’ll feel a part of something special, a tight-knit community centered around great food and camaraderie.

“ Great experience watching the Worldcup Final. Thank you to the owner for opening at 7am and welcome us with great drinks, donuts and their own smoked bacon! ”
“ This is a Fantastic Establishment!!! This place has it all, Pool tables, big screens, security cameras for everyone's safety, but here's what's not obvious or advertised, their drink prices are rock bottom cheap, especially for California!! The bartenders have genuine personality, and never to busy to chat or say Hi. Go a few times and they'll even remember your name!!! The bathrooms, normally I won't use public facilities, but when ya gotta go... I was very impressed!! They do a great job keeping them clean, I had to look under the sink to make sure they didn't have Mr. Clean with his magic eraser chained up to clean after every patron!! The patrons: Sports bars can be a bit intimidating, especially for women, relax ladies, there's about as many women in the bar as there are guys. Best part, Everyone's welcome, Bikers, Suits, Jocks, Hippies, Gays, Straights, and I'm not quite sure what that was, but whatever, it's all cool. I'm disabled and have a mobility scooter, they have never told me to park it outside, or gave me any dirty looks!! During Big Events they employ Security to help keep the peace, and abide by code enforcement, and those rent a cops, are Really Nice Guys!! Okay, I think I covered most everything, all this writing made me thirsty, perhaps I'll see you at Playoffs Bar in Desert Hot Springs Californication (I'll be the guy on a little red scooter) My name is Steve & I approve this message cuz I wrote it. ”
“ We enjoyed a fun evening of trivia at Playoffs (Tuesday nights). The bar is clean, staff is friendly and the patrons are very welcoming. Would definitely recommend to everyone looking for a bar with TVs and wanting to have a good time. ”
“ Well ther are only two full bars in town. And this one has to be the better one, all the bartenders are Amazing!!! Karen,Letty, Cisco are all super nice and friendly. The atmosphere is mostly relaxed depending on which night you go. The bar seems to be always hosting some type of event or gathering. Just this last week they held a raffle for the Coachella Valley DerbyGirls. This bar is definitely supporting the community. They also have a pool table, foose ball,and darts. One more thing this bar has that I think is Amazing, is their own private reserve of whine & liquor. Karaoke night Thursdays. Again in town feeling like have a drink, you won't be disappointed. ”
“ It was great. I enjoyed seeing everyone there again. Service was ok. Waitress forgot about us and didn't come by until we were getting ready to leave then asked if we needed anything else. ”
“ The bar tender was cute. Very approachable. Very tentative to his customers, awesome music, and just fun to talk with. ”
