Dark Cocktail lounge on the verge of thinking themselves a Speakeasy, but would never call themsevles that, but just classic Palm Springs lounging. If you didn't know better you'd think you were in LA in the summer, excepty for the bocce ball. They have an excellent selection of spirits, cocktails. Maybe a little varied, but decently creative. The only thing that gets me is pricing. Sure you pay for everything for decor, glassware and not just spritis, but I recall wondering how they price their drinks becuase not everything is equal or standard mark up when some things aren't house made it's easy to cost out becuase you stop paying for creativity after a certain point. It feels like they took alot of Mr. Lyons business model and use that for pricing rather than a sole entity with their own margins. The service makes up for it, the ambiance makes up for it. The crowd makes up for it. Far less wrinkled and aging snowbirds and retirees circling the drain in their waning days. People dressing up and celebrating, genuine convivialness abounds with most guests. It's not somewhere else trying bring that vibe here, it's pretty authentic. It's separate from nextdoor other than shared bathrooms, so don't be surprised when you feel like your in a different world. Most people who wander between the 2 take pause and awe for a few seconds before their mood shifts to match the room. Not a place to get sloppy and party that way unless it's a closed event. It's a great, classic PS lounge for when you have 2 groups of friends who you can entertain, the steakhouse crowd for dinner and the loungers beforehand. Sunsets on the patio under the string lights and couches is rich backyard summertime vibez. read more

Seymour is located inside of Lyons. It's small, intimate, and cozy. There is a small outside area as well. We got here around 9pm and it got crowded very quickly soon after. Joshua took care of our party and he made personal recommendations based on what we like. 4 out of 4 drinks were AMAZING. My group and I don't usually enjoy drinking that much but these cocktails converted us! Highly recommended. read more

This is a cool bar - ahem, "speakeasy" - inside Mr. Lyon's. The drinks are strong - as they should be for a $17+ cocktail, and the boys behind the bar were very friendly, happy to engage on in conversation about the libations they prepared. I had a Penicilin - not on the menu - and the gentleman made it with a ginger liquer that was both boozy and delicious. Would recommend. They also have a nice selection of peaty whiskys, including Hakushu 12, Ardbeg Uigeidall, and Compass Box Peat Monster, among others. Nice options if you're an Islay lover that likes it neat. Cool back patio, but the main room is TINY. Not a knock, just an FYI. I'd go back again for sure. read more

Had read about this place so we decided to check it out. When you walk in the front door, you make an immediate right and go through the curtain. Found a couple of seats at the bar. Ordered a beer and an espresso martini. They only have one unique brewery beer in a IPA and Pilsner. It was ok but would have expected maybe a few more choices. Espresso Martini looked ok but it was very bland. There are a lot of places that really make a good espresso, this was not one of them. Between the martini and beer, the tab was $33. Always surprised at charging so much for a can of beer. The place might be a ok to bring a few friends but it's really pricy and doesn't really offer any vibe. It's a quiet dark bar. The only thing to me that makes it a speakeasy was the hidden behind the curtains entrance. Based on cost, I wouldn't go again, also the drinks were not great. If you want quiet conversation or sit in the dark and drink, this might be the place. read more

Seymour's is legendary in our family! You can't get drinks anywhere after going here, cause they will be a step down! The atmosphere is an amazing speak-easy-type bar, and the bartenders are total pros!!! Their drinks are a work of art, so I recommend sitting at the bar so you can enjoy their craft! When anybody comes into town to visit, Seymour's is tops on the list!!! Whomever doesn't give them a 5 out of 5 doesn't like or appreciate cocktails, so trust me this is a 6 out of 5!!! read more

Speakeasy in a classic steakhouse. Seems to be a spot great for locals or tourists. Drinks were amazing, and the bartenders were very knowledgeable. There's outdoor space for larger parties, but the indoor space is very intimate and just what you're looking for in a Speakeasy bar. read more

Very nice speakeasy spot in the Mr. Lyons steakhouse. Stopped by after dinner at Mr. Lyons as it was my last night from out of town. There was seating at the bar and additional seating inside and outside patio. The scenery was dark with dimmed lighting. The bartenders (2 that night) were busy but very courteous. I ordered a lemon drop martini and it was really good. read more

Seymour's - "The square root" of a good drink is lamp light . - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Popped in after dinner in a Friday hoping it wouldn't be too busy. Luckily our group of 4 was able to get a table with just a few minutes wait. The interior was very intimate - definitely a good date night spot. The outdoor patio looked nice as well, but that's for another time when it's not so hot out. Everyone got something different - wine, beer, and an old fashioned, and I got the Northern Elixir off their cocktail menu. My husband said the old fashioned was good, and I enjoyed my drink as well. Service was good, but not great. She didn't check on us until we were about done; however, she was friendly. Overall, a great after dinner experience, and I would return! read more

Seymour's has been on my list for a while; how extremely fortunate we visited when we did, as (who I'll describe as) "Master Mixologist" Erica was behind the bar (with assistant, Jade)! Erica is perhaps the most passionate and skilled bartender we've experienced; her enthusiasm in creating custom cocktails is infectious... and we delighted in being able to sample her creations, which were both attractive and tasty! As first-timers, Erica knows how to make one feel valued and special -- even as the crowd grew in this dimly-lit, intimate bar. Thinking that we'd be in for just a drink or two, can't believe we stayed as long as we did, enjoying more drinks than planned as well as the fun energy among the other guests that evening! Definitely a favorite spot; we're now going to be regulars when in the desert. My concern (as Yelpers who gave low ratings have reported) is highly anticipating a visit only to find it closed. Fun and wonderful find! read more

Super cute speakeasy vibe. Martinis were amazing but also a pretty penny. The bartenders were great though and we had a good night cap after dinner. Would come here again read more

This speakeasy inside of Mr. Lyons is a great spot to start your evening. The cocktails are good and the dark vibe makes it special. We had great service, too. It's tiny so expect to wait for a spot if you come at prime time. Ask the hostess at Mr. Lyons where to go so you don't end up just at the ordinary bar and can instead experience this hidden treasure. read more

Delicious drinks ! Bartenders were amazing , this place has a great vibe and beautiful decor

Came by this cool spot after a long day. Had a great experience. The bar tender was so awesome! I think her name is Erica. Super cool person and made the experience a memorable one. Drinks were really good and the conversation was awesome! She made everyone sitting at the bar feel comfortable, even got us talking to one another. Didn't think I'd come out of there having made new friends, definitely will be read more

Great atmosphere and drinks. Super friendly bar tender. One of my fav speakeasy establishments in town

This place is amazing! The bartenders are experienced and solid, the drinks are tasty. Come here and enjoy! BUT, avoid the restaurant here (Mr Lyons). Sketchy, pretentious, and not really that good. Special shout out to Parker, our mixologist. He's professional, talented, and on point. We will be back specifically because of him! read more

Deeply disappointed my Old Cuban was apparently made with Myers white rum. I've enjoyed this drink many times at different craft cocktail bars, as it calls for aged rum and a splash of champagne. Instead, I got an over pour of cheap Prosecco on bland unaged rum. The bartender checked in, I asked what rum he used, told him it was disappointing. He mentioned they have a Ron Zacapa rum but didn't offer to remake my drink. Well nevermind on staying and enjoying a couple more cocktails. We left. read more

Cocktails are fantastic! Pretty small but a very cool vibe! If you like speakeasy's it's a must when in Palm Springs!!

Visited Seymour's on a quick weekend getaway to Palm Springs. Had high hopes for this place, as it looked like a cozy little hidden speakeasy style bar. We called ahead to see what the wait would be and told we could be seated right away. However, when we showed up and talked to someone else, they said it would be at least a half hour. So we waited in the waiting area and after 15 minutes another hostess asked what we were waiting for and said we could just go ahead into Seymour's. Sort of a confusing way to start, but not a big deal, as we were in no rush. The bar area was quite crowded, but we found a little spot in the corner to hang. It was easy to get the attention of a bartender and order drinks. I tried a cocktail called a Scarlet Simian, which sounded like a take on the flavors or a negroni and maybe a last word. It certainly wasn't that and had a much more spirit forward ethanol flavor than expected. My partner had a Oaxcan Hemingway, which was tasty, even for a mezcal drink. It was a little noisy and crowded inside so we sat outside next to the fire pit, which was nice, but didn't have a ton of ambiance. Overall, it didn't live up to the expectations we had that night. I could see on a quieter weeknight and maybe a more classic cocktail order, it could be a great cozy spot for a drink. read more

Chose to plan a surprise trip for my husband in Palm Springs because we love Seymour's. Nothing on the site earlier this week about it being closed tonight. Beyond upset and disappointed to find out it's closed for a private event tonight upon arrival. You need to allow reservations to avoid things like this from happening. So upsetting. read more

We were pleasantly surprised to find Seymour's, what a gem. Javier, the bartender was awesome! Great music, great cocktails, great vibe!

Lovely, small but top notch service. Hidden behind heavy velvet curtains is this intimate space with beautiful seating. Enjoyed some nice bourbon after a delicious meal in Mr Lyons. Worth a visit! read more

Loved the speakeasy vibe going on here and it's very cute. As a former cocktail columnist, I've had my share of drinks. So my friend and I were very surprised that the drinks we ordered were so strong, we were not able to finish them! I'm looking forward to going back and trying something else on the menu. read more

We visited Seymour's twice during our COVID getaway in Palm Springs. Both times for just cocktails and a snack. We are pescatarian/vegetarian so the appetizer menu was perfect for us. We have tried the hamachi crudo, and shrimp cocktail, the Sidecar, Vodka Martini, a New York Sour and a Little Owl. The hamachi crudo and shrimp cocktail were amazing. The shrimp were massive and so well seasoned! And the sidecar was the best I have ever had. And the New York Sour and the Little Owl were perfect. Keep in mind we are big cocktail drinkers. We make them at home and make it a point to visit the best cocktail places in any town in visit. You will not be disappointed. This place was sensational. read more

It wasn't a speakeasy but more of a back room behind a curtain. We didn't stay. It was crowded and not particularly special.

Cool location and atmosphere, but the service is slow and the drinks are nasty! If you like drinks that taste like the smell of an outhouse, the "Drink Differently" drink is perfect! The earthy / yogurt-like texture was off-putting. There was a group of us, and out of all drinks, we sent 2 of them back. Unfortunately they still charged us for them. Not good service. read more

This was an amazing experience. The bar is a great speak-easy type with a hidden door on the side of the restaurant - or you can enter through Mr Lyons. The dark interior was great for a luxury night out - it was very cozy with knowledgable bartenders. The quality of the drinks was top notch, and one of the best restaurants in Palm Springs. The night we went, it was rainy outside, so the patio was closed. We are excited to go back when it's better weather so we can sit outside. read more

Alright...such a cool place! The bar and the bartenders are just so cool.

Seymour's - Delicious! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Palm Springs, California

We were very excited to get to Seymour's. We had been trying on several occasion, but they've been closed for private events or just not open, and their phone has been disconnected, so we've had to go there to see if we could get in. On a positive note, the decor is great, but now that we finally had the chance, it ended up being one of the worst experiences at a bar in Palm Springs over the last year. It didn't help that the bar then got crowded, apparently being used as a waiting spot for Mr Lyons. Our waitress barely made eye contact with us, and 20 minutes after finishing our drink we finally had to shout as her back was turned to us for the check. We were hoping to give another shot at classic cocktails after our first round weren't great, but no chance we'll be coming back for another round. read more

Erica was stellar on eve of 2/13 especially considering she was the only person on staff w/a full bar that had a constant flow of people coming in. She never stopped working and entertaining. We were more stressed for her than she ever let on. Answering the "what's that drink" many times w/patience and humor. We were thrilled with how great the drinks were. She deserves a raise (and some backup staff) We will be back for some Erica love very soon. read more

If you try hard enough, you can tease s good cocktail out of the bartender. Fun to try to stump the bartender with a drink he or she has no idea how to make. You can have fun by pulling a cocktail name out of the air and see whar happens.worth trying. read more

Mixed feelings writing this review. Seymour's is so great, and seems like a secret(which would be great to stay that way), but ultimately, the staff is so nice and the cocktails are so excellent that it would be wrong for me not to post. Bartender Josh is hands down on of the best cocktail makers I have crossed, and is just a super nice dude. I asked for a cocktail that was not on the menu, and rather than pushing me to one of their cocktails on the menu(which are also delicious), he built it for me and made sure I liked it. I worked in the service industry for 6 years or so and it is rare that you come across someone who is kind and super knowledge/skilled. Outdoor area is great, fire pit is cozy. Always a pleasure walking in when we are in town. Will probably visit on every upcoming trip. Thank you Seymour's! read more
