    The Fifth Tally
    Hassan H.

    The ambiance here is awesome in the evening, we strolled in after eating dinner a few blocks away. The bar was empty which nice because it was six of us and they only have 7 seats. Our bartender was really cool, she just moved to Palm Springs from Santa Monica about six months and didn't like the heat so much haha. The drinks here are excellent, I mean really good! It's take about 5 minutes to make one of the specialty cocktails so be prepared to a wait a second. I was a bit surprised at the amount of dogs that we saw at the hotel for a second I thought we had stopped at a doozie day care. We are dog lovers and have a pup ourselves but it was a bit odd to see so many dogs in such a nice hotel. I loved the drinks here though and most definitely will come back next time we are in the area. back again.

    Great place to have a nice drink . If you are staying at the hotel or just passing through, this bar is a relaxing place for a pit stop . Wet your whistle with one of their cocktails or enjoy a nice Chardonnay like I tend to do . The hotel is dog friendly which means Yes! I went and got a drink with my dog ! They brought him a water bowl and he got petted by some of the other patrons . This was absolutely a huge win for me and my canine . If nothing more than just to people watch and sit with my dog I would return here for another drink on a night out in Palm Springs .

    James the best bar tender around!

    We weren't even staying at the Rowan and we had the best time with James the bar tender we never left! Our next trip out to PS will definitely be at the Rowan. We had the best drinks masterfully crafted by James - and that is saying a lot because my husband is a bit of a "mixologist" himself. Instead of eating at the restaurant we decided to order our dinner at the bar where James kept our drinks flowing!

    we have been coming to palm springs for years and absolutely LOVED window bar, a relative newcomer to the cocktail scene. the bartender (forget his name, he was from brazil and amazing) made the BEST cocktails we've had in the region and was incredibly knowledgeable about all the spirits, on top of that he took the time to answer our questions and really went above and beyond to make our experience special. window bar is now on our list of just visits when in town.

    The Window Bar is in the corner of the living room (lobby to people who don't frequent Kimpton hotels) at the Kimpton Rowan Hotel. Our bartender, Bryan made some amazing drinks. You can grab a seat at the bar or one of the many comfortable chairs or couches near by. If you are chilly, pull up a seat next to the fireplace. I highly recommend you come here for a drink then spend the night at the Rowan.

    Spacious but cozy

Cannot recommend it enough!! PS Every aspect of the bar is also photographable !!

The drinks were strong and well-made, and even though the place was packed, our waitress stayed attentive and checked in with us consistently. It's clear they specialize in more elaborate cocktails, so a bit of a wait is understandable. The ambiance is also a highlight--dark, intimate, and really leans into the tiki vibe. **Night two** was the complete opposite. We accidentally mixed up our reservation time, but since the place was nearly empty, we were seated right away, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. We had a different waitress, and despite being one of only a few parties there when we arrived, we waited **45 minutes** without seeing our drinks--while other groups seated after us were already being served (and even getting second rounds). We eventually had to flag down our waitress, who had hardly checked on us at all. When we asked about the delay, she said they were "very busy,". After mentioning how long we'd been waiting, there wasn't any real apology--just visible annoyance. She told us our drinks were "up next," but after another 20 minutes passed with nothing, we decided to leave after over an hour of waiting. It was disappointing, especially after such a positive first experience. A simple apology or some communication would have gone a long way. Sadly, the inconsistency makes it hard to know which version of this place you're going to get.

    SHORT ANSWER: Yes in many ways…read more LOCATION: on the corner next to FARM, so a fall back if you do not have FARM reservations and hate disappointment of being turned away. FACILITY: Small, limited seating indoors with very nice, fun, outdoor seating areas. Love this place. MENU: Simple, easy to understand, great photos online if you have any questions. FOOD PREP: Very well done, like professional in just how it looks. FOOD QUALITY: Professional in how it also tastes... Watermelon Gazpacho was perfect with drinks prior to main. LIBATIONS: drinks and bartender were excellent, fun, and the photo print was very cool. WAITSTAFF: just so nice, and fun making the experience all that much better. We have been enjoying The Plaza Theater so spending a little more time in Palm Springs and this will be one of our favorites places to relax prior to an event. OVERALL VALUE: Good, but it is Palm Springs, outdoors, great locations, classy.. no, not inexpensive but well worth it. TIP: I'd say be nice, be patient, and you will get a table. Don't be an angry rude touron, we don't need that vibe and we see some of that in PS.. You can try for reservations, not sure if they take off season.

Seemed to be more of a mixed age crowd than some other places on the street. Upon arrival, we walked the premises checking out the large front bar, and then into the back area which had the dance floor and a smaller bar. The three of us opted for a table out on the patio which provided the inside music as a background, so having a conversation was possible. The drinks were good and a little more reasonably priced than at our first stop. They had male go-go dancers around the main bar area, providing a little extra visual stimulation over all of the regular customers dancing in the back. All-male bar and wait staff the night of our visit. Overall, I enjoyed myself more than at our first stop, Hunters, which was across the street. I would definitely come back here again.

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.

Tiki bars make my favorite drinks because they're built from layers of flavor, history, and pure tropical fantasy.

Step inside and the world shifts: dim with warm lantern lighting, vintage exotica in the background, and instantly my mini vacation begins. The drinks are strong and sneaky. There's a kitchen serving Cantonese-inspired plates, which I fully intend to try next time because of course we showed up already full like amateurs.
