Mic Drop, Bestie: Where to Karaoke in Palm Springs

Every girls' trip starts with good intentions.

"We're just having one cocktail."

"We're getting to bed early."

"We're definitely not singing in public."

Fast forward three hours and your entire SQUAD is screaming the lyrics to "Pink Pony Club" while a stranger records your performance for TikTok.

Welcome to karaoke night in Palm Springs.

If your bachelorette weekend or girls' getaway needs a little extra chaos (the fun kind), Palm Springs has entered the chat.

First stop? RetroRoom Lounge.

This downtown favorite is basically the karaoke queen of Palm Springs and is celebrating its 10th anniversary on July 1, 2026. Female-owned and full of retro desert vibes, RetroRoom is where locals, visitors, brides-to-be, and besties unite under one mission: absolutely crushing a karaoke set.

The vibe? Think dive bar meets vintage Palm Springs cool. One minute you're sipping a cocktail, the next you're channeling your inner Whitney Houston in front of a crowd that's cheering like you're headlining Coachella.

Whether you're serving Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, or a little throwback Britney, RetroRoom delivers the kind of night you'll still be talking about at brunch.

But if your SQUAD likes to keep things extra, allow us to introduce your newest obsession:

The Mic Bike.

Imagine a pedal-powered karaoke party rolling down Palm Canyon while your group belts out hits at maximum volume. Iconic. Slightly unhinged. Completely unforgettable.

The Mic Bike is the only karaoke bike of its kind in the United States, making it a must-do for bachelorettes and girls' trips looking for something beyond the typical bar crawl. Hosted by local legend Tim, the experience often includes fun pit stops, including Tryst Bar for a round of jello shots. Sometimes you'll even find drag queen karaoke making an appearance. Honestly? It's giving mobile concert tour.

And then there's Jimmy B's.

If brunch and karaoke had a baby, this would be it.

On select weekends, you might catch former Real Housewives of Orange County husband Jim Bellino grabbing the mic while guests join in for a little spontaneous entertainment. Order the chilaquiles, grab a mimosa, and prepare for a brunch experience that's equal parts delicious and delightfully random.

Here's the thing about karaoke in Palm Springs: nobody cares if you can actually sing.

It's about the memories, the laughter, the inside jokes, and that one friend who somehow knows every single word to every Taylor Swift song.

SQUAD Tip: Start with dinner downtown, head to RetroRoom for karaoke, and finish the night dancing in the Arenas District. It starts as "one drink" and somehow ends with your entire group performing an encore nobody asked for.

And honestly?

That's the Palm Springs way.
