COMING UP AT PAPPY & HARRIET’S
Photo: Pappy & Harriet’s
The legendary Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown has been luring locals, road-trippers, and rock stars to the high desert since 1982 — serving up mesquite barbecue, cold drinks, and live music in a rustic setting. Equal parts roadhouse restaurant, dance hall, and Yucca Valley mirage, it’s where outlaw country legends share the stage with indie darlings and occasionally mainstream acts, too.
