our story

One Eleven Bar is more than a place to grab a drink or catch a show—it's a place where people come to celebrate, connect, laugh, and feel like they belong. For decades, this space has been part of the Coachella Valley's LGBTQ+ community, and we're honored to help carry that legacy forward.

We believe everyone deserves access to great entertainment, which is why our weekly drag shows and live performances are always FREE. No cover. No gatekeeping. Just unforgettable nights with incredible performers, amazing cocktails, and a community that welcomes everyone exactly as they are.

Our entertainment is led by the incomparable Vanity Halston, whose decades of experience in Southern California's drag community have helped make our stage a home for extraordinary local and national talent. We're humbled that you've voted us among the best drag destinations in Southern California year after year, and we'll never stop working to earn that honor.

Behind every unforgettable night is an incredible team with deep roots in our community. Their warmth, hospitality, and passion are what transform a night out into something special.

Whether you're joining us for our daily Happy Hour, enjoying live music with the amazing Ron Pass, celebrating at one of our award-winning drag brunches, or simply catching up with friends over a cocktail, we hope One Eleven feels like your place.

For us, One Eleven is deeply personal. Long before we became owners, Palm Springs was our happy place. We spent years visiting the desert, fell in love with this community, were married here, and eventually made Palm Springs our home. Today, we're proud to be locally gay-owned and operated, and it's an incredible privilege to give back to the community that has given us so much.

To everyone who has attended a show, shared a cocktail, celebrated a milestone, brought a friend, or made One Eleven part of your week—thank you. Your support allows us to invest in our entertainers, our staff, and one of the things we believe matters most: keeping LGBTQ+ spaces vibrant, welcoming, and thriving for generations to come.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting a locally gay-owned and operated business.
