(And the excellent food, though probably not part of the bar crawl.) And the fact that their clientele is definitely old-time Palm Springs. And the great old school piano lounge guy on weekends. And that on a lot of Saturday nights, Marvin "Mr. Electric" Roy (as seen on Ed Sullivan, Merv Griffin, etc. back in the 60s and 70s) does card tricks at the table (at least for a limited time--he's 86 or 87). The interior has had some makeovers (though hard to complain about a giant Winston Churchill in stained glass), but still has the vibe to be a worthy stop on a crawl. Caltiki Brent
