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. Please note all indoor spaces are human only.Michelin Guide Restauarant 3 years in a row, and recently nominated best drag show 2023 by GED

We tried the 1501 burger, which was decent, although a bit dry. The tomato onion jam was overly sweet, but the horseradish slaw was a great addition. The real star, though, was the side of onion rings - they were absolutely amazing!

The Sandfish staff did a heroic job of taking care of outside diners last night during the rains. We were comfortable, warm, dry, and very well fed. Kudos!

Everything was splendid. Best schnitzel we’ve had in a long time. We didn’t care for our apple strudel but that could be just personal taste. But all in all, we will be back again.

Interesting food, delicious and unusual. My favorites were the mezzes rather than the kebabs. The celebration bread was outstanding. The restaurant and bar areas are beautiful. For a relatively new venue, the service and overall ambience felt self assured - no stumbles. Look forward to visiting agian.
