Brunch at Norma's

Cocktails at Melvyn’s
For those looking to step back in time, Melvyn’s Restaurant & Lounge at the Ingleside Inn is a Palm Springs classic, loved by Frank Sinatra himself. Known for its vintage charm, this iconic spot serves up classic cocktails in true Old Hollywood style. Try Sinatra’s signature Jack Daniel’s on the rocks or savor a classic gin martini crafted just the way Ol' Blue Eyes liked it. With its timeless ambiance and legendary cocktails, Melvyn’s is a must-visit for anyone wanting a taste of Palm Springs' glamorous past.
We grabbed a celebratory drink at Melvyn’s after we first toured the Avalon Hotel as a wedding venue!
