    It’s hard to find a place that treats cocktails as well as they do. So much detail goes into every drink and all of it is tasted.

    All the drinks were really good. We got the skull at the end which was very large and a fun show to watch with the fire. I recommend getting that first though, as it is a large drink and can be shared. Our server, Ivan gave us good recommendations as well. The cheese board was nice and I loved the popcorn. It was a perfect compliment to the drinks!

    It was rather disappointing. After seeing the velvet curtain covering the entrance from the reception area, I thought we were going into a dark, speakeasy vibe. Instead it felt like a themed tourist attraction, complete with Casablanca playing in the background. There was no discernible dress code so we had people in casual tees, shorts and running shoes. Drinks were okay but vibe was so off, I don’t think it’s worthwhile. Plus, we ordered the grilled cheese because the photo made it look so appetizing. It was plain slices of bread with such a thin layer of cheese in a panini press. No butter on the outside to brown it throughout, not enough cheese to see from the side. I don’t understand the hype at all.

    We were a party of 8 and were crammed around a small table. We were charged $20 extra because we brought a birthday cake in. The drinks were not strong and were not worth the prices we paid. The Vodkadora was 85% ice. We were unimpressed and would not recommend Roosevelt Room.

    Was a nice place to go. Had a reservation for a party of five and got sat right by the door when we got there. Even though they were not busy, there were plenty of booths available. Drinks were all good, kinda took a while to place and receive our drinks. Happy hour was definitely a deal but other drinks were around 16-20$,So added up quickly.

    We were comfortably seated in a low light booth that gave us plenty of room for our party of three. We greatly enjoyed the craft cocktails that are creatively prepared and visually pleasing. Something for everyone at this bar and a fun, broad range with period themed or type alcohol based. Definitely worth repeating to adventure around more of the menu!

    I went to check out the happy hour with my mom and the margaritas were average, salad was good however, the charcuterie board was definitely not even worth the $22 even for the happy hour cost (the salamis didn’t taste great). The service was great though and the ambience! The hostess was an absolutely sweetheart and our server who we got was good and friendly. I say go there for the speciality drinks as I decided to have a drink off the happy hour and those are MUCH better!

    I was really looking forward to a chill night with fine cocktails. Their cocktail menu is fabulous. However, the music and people were quite loud and I could barely carry on a conversation. The bench material had tears and it was crowded to where you were bumping elbows with people. I prefer midnight cowboy or living room lounge at the W for ambiance. Prohibition bar is quiet too.
