OLD-FASHIONED FUN FROM ACROSS THE ERAS
Desert air and clear skies make Jake’s (664 N
Palm Canyon Dr) patio a go-to for dreamy al fresco
dining. It’s no wonder their charming courtyard has
been a favourite amongst locals for 10 years. Our
preferred pairing? Two glasses of Whispering Angel
rosé and an hour of eavesdropping. The rough, raw
aesthetics of Truss and Twine gives off serious New
York vibes, rather than SoCal cool. An open kitchen
lets you bear witness to the tasty miracles of Chef
Michael Beckman’s hyper-local, desert-inspired
menu. The Drake Farm’s goat cheese, Temecula
Valley honeycomb and cactus confit is a stunning
taste of the Coachella Valley (without getting
S y l v a n u s - Ur b a n . c o m
hipster stuck between your teeth). The drinks list
features iconic cocktails, riding the mixology wave
from the Golden Ages to Prohibition. Bootlegger
Tiki (1101 N Palm Canyon Dr) has eagerly taken on
the tiki torch from the king of kitsch, proudly located
in the same space as the original 1953 Don the
Beachcomber restaurant. If first call is your last call
order my personal favourite, the rum-fueled Zombie.
Bear in mind that it comes with fine print – you’re
only allowed to order one more cocktail after that,
to avoid an apocalypse.
