Editorial Review for Joshua Tree – by Rose Martelli
The Scene
A commitment to all things collegiate makes Joshua Tree look less like the California desert it's named for and more like the basement of the Sigma Chi house. If you're ever going to find a place where people still throw out such lines as, "You wanna come back to my place and watch a movie?" this would be that place. Everyone's intelligent and polite enough, though, to make settling in over a game easy.
The Draw
There are more than 20 microbrews on tap. Drink wine at your own peril.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoIf you want to watch the Mavericks when everyone else is tuned to the Mets, don't grab the remote--you can ask the bartender for a tiny TV screen of your own.

A moderately fun place to hang out but nothing special. I visited on a Saturday night which is apparently 80s night and must admit that while campy the barrage of great old 80s videos blaring from what seem to be dozens of screens all around the joint was entertaining and refreshing. The crowd is decent enough - most patrons I encountered were just looking to have a good time and enjoying themselves like human beings unlike the swarm of meatheads and ditzy girls I usually encounter at places like Joshua Tree. The downside When I say crowd, however, I mean CROWD. I was taught in high school that the laws of physics dictate no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time but after visiting Joshua Tree I'm pretty sure the laws of physics don't apply there, because this place was PACKED - A fire hazard and a half. The drinks there were also a little on the unreasonable side in terms of price. A full night at JT will definitely clean your wallet out. Otherwise the place is adequate. Bartenders are reasonably friendly and for a place as crowded as it was the bouncers were not overbearing or rude at all. If you're the sort of person who can put up with sardine-can like crowding and pricey drinks for the sake of a fun crowd and lots of pretty girls, this place is for you.
Pros: Ambience, Music, Fellow Patrons
Cons: CROWDED, Expensive
