Seymour's

"It wasn’t long ago that finding a great cocktail in Palm Springs required having either a dinner reservation or someone in your vacation rental with bartending experience. But that’s changed—and Seymour’s is the best proof yet. This dark, semi-secret bar (hidden inside Mr. Lyons behind a black curtain by the bathrooms) goes all-in on Old Hollywood aesthetics with hand-drawn portraits on the walls, secluded sitting areas, and a gold-tinted bar with black and white movies projected behind it. Still, the draw here is the cocktails, which are strong, straightforward, and classic. Order the Vesper. " - brant cox

"Next door to the iconic Mr. Lyons is Seymour’s cocktail bar. Like its steakhouse sister spot, it has plenty of style, with vintage decor and an outdoor fireplace lounge area. The menu offers a handful of wines, classic drinks, and more modern inventions in a glass with unique ingredients. This is the place for adventurous drinkers who trust the process of a skilled bartender." - Mona Holmes

"This speakeasy-style cocktail den occupies a hidden space inside the steakhouse, Mr. Lyons (ask the host to point you in the right direction). Once inside, it’s easy for forget what decade it is. There are vintage photographs lining the walls, antique velvet seating, and even a black-and-white tv to set the retro mood. The whole thing is wonderfully old school, and a quiet place for a nightcap—try the Oaxacan Brunch, made with Gem & Bolt mezcal, lime juice, sage-infused simple syrup, and egg white."
