Reviews Summary

Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar offers a vibrant atmosphere with great live music and a lively patio. Diners rave about the outstanding food, particularly the blackened mahi tacos and coconut shrimp, and enjoy the unique cocktails. While some find the menu limited, the friendly service and overall experience make it a popular spot.

"Nice vibe. Good food. Great happy hour coconut cloud martinis! Could feel those. Nice big patio with live two piece band playing guitar and singing beautiful music. Only thing that could be better would be not having to go up to a counter to order food and first round of drinks. After that you get table service. Friendly staff. Centrally located
Would recommend."

Jane Scott

"I had a day to myself in Palm Springs before meeting up with friends. I ate here twice and had a great experience both times. I like that you order the counter and then pick your seat. When you’re seated, you can order more from the server. They also have live music. Great food, drinks, and atmosphere."

Julie Harrison-Polivka

"Great experience sitting outside. The waiter walked by every 2 minutes helping and serving other customers so I was able to easily flag him down when I needed something. He was kind and very attentive. I tipped him $20 for a $60 check. Was glad to do it. We'll definitely be back."
