Good value for money spent. Bar team is friendly, space is small with a little patio. Street parking available and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Pin ball machines and pool tables inside, very very casual. read more

They do not welcome service dogs . My boy is a registered service dog and was not allowed to enter . I let the staff know I needed him near me and I was allowed to place him on the patio, and by patio I mean outside patio lines. I proceeded to move my service dog close to the back entrance as that was the other limit I was allowed. We were both respectful and well behaved . The ADA , Americans with Disabilities Act clearly outlines That this type of action is an act of discrimination. I understand that the staff were unsure and do not want to allow "pets" to enter. I communicated clearly that this was a service animal I needed near me for emergency medical reasons and I was directed to speak to the owner ... the following morning . I sincerely hope Scott Wilson reaches out to me . read more

Tryst Bar & Lounge - a man playing pool - Lounges Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Stop by kind of late on a Saturday night after leaving another establishment. Kind of quiet when we got in there. Small selection of pinball games, which are fun. Good jukebox for music. Plenty of seating for a Larger gathering. I would go there again. Staff were pleasant. He'll even got. Free shot. read more

Stopped in while barhopping with some friends. I was so excited to find a bar that was 1) not pretentious 2) not pricy 3) had Ohio State decor 4) had great bartenders A WIN all around! Go Bucks! read more

The bartenders serve the knuckle sandwiches and attitude. If you need a break from all the happiness in Palm Springs for your vacation cum here and the staff will serve you cheap drinks and they are good for a laugh. People watching on the patio is a must. Best dive bar in the Valley as far as I'm concerned. No food but they let you eat take out just don't make a mess. Animals. read more

No food but hello shots on command! Services was fast! The bartender had my michelada done before I finished my sentence. Delicious and spicy! Much needed after a long pool day. Ambiance was vibing. Nice people sitting at the bar. read more

Tryst Bar & Lounge - Play pinball while you drink - Lounges Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Stellar local lounge with heavy pours and games to play, including pinball and billiards. Came here with a group of friends when it was relatively empty. Bartenders were great. Drinks were basic, but it's apparently a classic spot for hanging out until 2am in Downtown Palm Springs. Excellent people watching. No complaints here! read more

My partner and I have been here multiple times. Loved the chill and intimate vibe, and the affordable drinks. Unfortunately, tonight was a disappointing experience. After walking our dog Chloe, a small Maltipoo, we decided to stop by since it's the closest bar to our hotel, and my partner, who works in hospitality, loves supporting local businesses. I sat with Chloe on the patio, being mindful of the fact that many places don't allow dogs indoors. However, the bartender requested to see my ID in person for the order, so I went inside, carrying Chloe. Two staff members immediately informed me that dogs weren't allowed, but I assumed they were only referring to the indoor area because we've seen people with dogs on the patio before. I explained, had my ID checked by the bartender, then returned to the patio. Then I was told that dogs weren't allowed in the patio either, which caught us off guard. Even though our drinks were ready, security canceled the order. To be clear, this review is directed at the owners and managers, not the staff who were simply following orders. Please consider putting up a "No Pets/Dogs" sign and ensure the policy is enforced consistently--not selectively or based on feelings towards specific customers. Lastly, please train security to communicate kindly with returning customers instead of abruptly. read more

Great place for food and drinks great atmosphere and vibe. Highly recommend this place for drinks and dinner.

This was the worst experience we had in Palm Springs. We were there to get a quick night cap at the end of the night and were treated with extreme hostility by a member of the staff. Unless you are a regular here, this place is not for you. We were in the middle of a darts game when last-call was called, and as it was called and the staff member immediately shut off the machine. We didn't complain, but just remained at our table. The bar was still open for another 30 minutes after that point. The staff member who turned off the machine came over to us and hostilely kicked us out of the bar, when we had done nothing offensive. We are visiting from out of town, which seems to be our only offense, as none of the other people at the bar were treated in that way. I have never been so disappointed in a vacation experience. read more

Fun little local dive bar... Bartenders are friendly and they have pinball machines, one pool table, and AMI (another version of touch tunes).... Happy hour from 12pm-8pm Jell-O shots $2 and you can taste the alcohol... The crowd varies but it's still fun. I enjoyed my time here. read more

Super unprofessional front door security. We Came here to visit with my clients and take them out for a drink and a dance. My partner has a service 13lb dog that the security didn't let in at all. We showed him his service vest but no love. No understanding as the dog is trained. I will Not come back here ever as they discriminate against us mainly cause I feel I am Mexican with a shaved head and gold on my neck however I am super nice. I'll take my cash elsewhere read more

We came in for a fun batch party for my girl. We instantly were greeted by the rudest human alive. I have worked as a bartender for 20 years and it's not an easy job but it isn't hard to serve drinks ... The bartender made all of us so uncomfortable . She made us feel like we were a burden to order drinks and shots. Thank god Scott came in so we could actually get service.. I would highly recommend teaching the bartender with black lipstick a course on customer service. Fake it till you make it girl you would make more money... Thank god we dont live here and dont have to come back to this bar... read more

I stumbled onto Tryst Bar and had a great time. The HH specials are the best & the vibe very cool. Bartenders Mia, Esteban, Tim, Stormy & Gabby are fun & engaging. The music is always bumping, and there are friendly people to shoot pool with, play darts or pinball. One of my favorite go to spots:) read more

This is my favorite bar in ps. Everyone is welcome. The staff is always great, especially Abby and Stormy. They always have a welcoming smile when I come in and are beautiful inside and out. The bar is super fun, between the variety of people, the pinball machines and even a pool table. Oh! And I love my piano man even though I never see him any more . Thank you tryst for being my favorite. read more

Discovered this bar off the beaten path. Had moved from San Francisco and the moment we walked in, it was the locals bar we wanted. The bartenders are exactly what you love from a local dive bar. A bit intimidating at first, but by the end of the night, they are your best friends. This is always the first place we go when we get back into town. All of our friends that come to visit head to Tryst for the stiff drinks, no attitude locals, JELLO SHOTS and fun. There's always a dance party ready to happen. Abby was one of our first friends we made after moving there. She has always taken care of me and my friends at Tryst. read more

This dive bar at least needs some paint to cover up the holes in the floor, it's perfect for young people 21 to about oh35-ish not paying attention to their surroundings, playing dancing, running in and out and having a great time. Not an attractive place for someone that's maybe a little older notices everything in environment. One young women was at the bar with 1 back for supply! Televisions were high, but only in the back of the bar so it was purely a dive bar for the front, and zero entertainment. Like I said, this is a dive bar in need of repair in the floors and walls, but a great place for young people to run around and play, I had a good time that night. The physical plant was not good. read more

Getting there: Located on Arenas and Indian Canyon, I usually walk here so not too sure about the parking situation, but it looked like they had parking around back. You can enter through the front or back. Experience: This was a cool dive bar. The bartenders were nice, the drinks were cheap and the vibes were fun. It's pretty small inside so I feel like it's more of a spot if you're a local. Local or not, I would say this place is worth the visit. read more

Went last week first time. More of a dive bar atmosphere, good crowd, liked so much went back next day. On my list whenever in PS.

Love this bar!!!! Staff and managers are always friendly and helpful!!! Some of my fave ladies work the bar in a great way!!! Pool table , darts, jukebox!!! Def a place to check out if in town !!! read more

I used to like going to this bar, but Hair of the Dog is way better. Not only do they have AC, somewhat, but the bartenders are so much more nicer. I wish they would retrain their staff or replace if they act like unprofessional read more

Had a fantastic night. Abby was very attentive to everyone and had a great attitude. The place had great music and a welcoming vibe will definitely return! read more

Cheapest Happy Hour around! Don't miss out on this spot! Bartender was sweet and small front patio to enjoy the people watching!

Left my card here. Called. Emailed. No answer. No response. Finally they said they didnt have it. Ended up with a Doordash charge on it. Cancelled it. read more

Memorial weekend spent in palm springs and I have to say the most fun I had was here. The staff working was amazing! For as busy as the bar was they definitely knew how to make sure everyone had a good time. The bartender, i believe Abby is her name, was amazing! Very attentive to our group, and definitely brought a good vibe to the establishment. They have a pool table and a jukebox and we were able to play some of our own favorite music, who doesn't love that! And the jello shots , let me tell you definitely tied the night all together. read more

My new favorite Palm Springs bar. Everyone is friendly... pAtrons and staff... felt very inclusive and welcoming. Great drink specials too. Will Repeat. read more

Staff doesn't make you feel welcome, security staff doesn't make you feel safe. Completely unprofessional security. This is a service industry that relies on patrons. They singled us out. Until they find a staff who cares about their customers they need to close down. I will never be going back. read more

Friendly and clean place to shoot pool or have a drink. Will definitely come back soon!

Best dive bar in town! Friendly bartenders great happy hour prices $4 we'll drinks $2.50 bud light drafts! Not to mention $2 Jell-O shots 2pm-8pm daily! Plus darts pool and pinball! It's a fun time always at tryst bar! read more

Just popped in on a whim. Great music, good drinks, ample seating, excellent service, nice crowd. Seems like a cool neighborhood hang out. Thanks! We'll be back! read more

Being a first timer here tonight I'm rating Tryst a seven 3 star ! I need subsequent trips to get a more valid feel for this place. So far I like it. Low Key and unpretentious. It has a dark chilled ambiance: black or dark blue walls and ceiling, polished cement floor, dark stools and bench seats against the wall. Casual, strong pours and good prices. Bumpin' jukebox, a single pool table, no food but eateries nearby. Clients: from gay to straight. Mellow place. Am I coming back ? Definitely. read more
