Palms is a local favorite with retro themed music and decor. The bar has a low-key, working-class-style club with large weekend night crowds.

This is a place you either love or hate
I fall into the latter category. It's dark and free for a reason: there is an uncomfortable desperation emanating from a very large percentage of its patrons. I don't want to suggest that is true of everyone who goes there, but there is enough creepiness here to make me prefer almost any other venue on the strip. And the tackiness that one poster lauds is just, well, tacky. Some might like it; I don't. Aloha...
love it
guaranteed good night, retro music, cheap drinks, very friendly people.. One thing is you've gotta get there early, otherwise you'll have to line up for a while. G
The best WORST gay bar EVER
Absolutely tacky, and RSA-esque decor, with limited drinking options (cheap white wine) It is AWESOME. Music: From the Spice Girls to The Clash. A gazillion times better than the stock standard cookie cutter gay bar across the road. Slightly alternative crowd. OH HOW I MISS IT. Many a wine glass smashed.
Relaxed and casual
This bar is exceedingly casual and relaxed in its demeanor - quite a bit different from the generally trendy vibe along Oxford Street. Very friendly and a perfect place to chill with a cold beer on a hot day.
