Azul Tapas Lounge

369 N Palm Canyon Dr., Palm Springs
Phone: (760) 325-5533

Upscale and trendy, but more of a bar with food than a restaurant, “Happy Hour” is strong here. Azul has a “2 for 1 or 2 Happy Hour Daily from 4-9 pm and midnight until 2 am.” Since one can’t consume that much alcohol without a bit of food, Azul has adopted the “tapas” concept. The tapas are good, the flatbreads are a decent value.
