About Us

Welcome to The Roost Lounge 

Located in Cathedral City, near The Mary Pickford Theater in the Cathedral City Town Center (get directions). Join us for fine cocktails and great conversation in an exciting, cool, and comfortable atmosphere. 

Proprietors Charles Thomas and Jeff McDonald took over ownership of The Roost Lounge in the Summer of 2019., and have since designed and built a community space that folks love to frequent. “We value the look and feel of a friendly, receptive cocktail lounge,” says Jeff.

One of the definitions of “roost” is to settle oneself or to supply a place. The Roost offers just that: a beautiful, comfortable place with lots of atmosphere for all to “roost” and talk with friends and to meet other friendly folks. And with great prices, it’s affordable to all.

There is something going on every night of the week at The Roost — from drag shows to disco, karaoke to cabaret, The Roost brings you the best live entertainment, videos, and music to enjoy. Please see our EVENTS CALENDAR for details.

Through THE ROOST FOUNDATION we produce and support many fundraising events, giving back to our community!

The Roost is a member of the Cathedral City Gay Business Association, and the Desert Business Association.
