Dark and moody cocktail bar with an incredibly extensive menu. They have a section of their menu detailing cocktails throughout the ages— essentially a list of cocktails that were either created or popularized in different decades which was super cool. I enjoyed a unique take on an espresso martini. However I will note that it was disappointing that so many of their cocktails contain walnut liquor. I tried to order a different cocktail without this in it, but since it was pre-batched I was unable have it withheld. Docking a star for this because it should be easier to remove such a common allergen.

This is my type of bar, and the craft of bartending is what sets this one apart from others and making drinks from all eras is awesome. Had the black pearl cocktail where they smoke it in a box and at the end I just sat in peace with some smoky peated scotch drunk neat enjoying the atmosphere.

A top-tier cocktail experience! The Roosevelt Room offers a classy yet comfortable atmosphere with expertly crafted drinks.

One of the best espresso martinis in town!
Great happy hour snacks—I haven’t made it for dinner yet, but I definitely will.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. A must-visit for cocktail lovers!

Upscale cocktails with a cool ambiance!

If you like mixed drinks this is the place to go. They have a great mix of traditional cocktails and their own creations.

It’s also very educational as the drinks are arranged by era from prohibition to today and ranked by boozy-ness!

Lawerence was very friendly and patiently answered all of questions. Try the drink he created it – was sooooo good (it’s not listed on the website and I can’t remember the name)

Absolutely a must go spot in downtown for their cocktail list and other drinks. Not an extensive list of food and main dishes but the right spot if you’re looking for the ambiance, nice music and upkeep atmosphere. In the heart of downtown ATX.

Went for drinks and enjoyed our time. Expansive menu but the server was really helpful. So many great cocktails. Loved the chalkboard above the bar details time periods and drinks!

Absolutely stunning, spectacular place with cocktails that go beyond the imagination in both taste and style! I love that the menu had a photo of each drink, it made it more appealing to order. The service was stellar! And we had the pleasure of trying the Chicken Pate and their Goat Cheese Cheesecake which was such a unique and delicious dessert. I wish we lived in Austin so that we can frequent this amazing bar which is set in an elegant ambiance.

We were excited to try The Roosevelt Room since they’ve won so many awards, but honestly, it fell short of our expectations. The place is dimly lit and gives off Prohibition-era vibes, but makes it hard to see — especially if you’re trying to take photos or videos without using flash.

Service was great. Our server shared some interesting background about the bar, which added a nice touch to the experience. There is a $1 per person charge for staff benefits though. Their menu is probably the biggest drink menu I’ve ever seen, and the presentation is impressive. However, when it comes down to taste, the cocktails just didn’t live up to the hype and at these prices, it’s hard to justify.

Zombie ($32): Served in a skull with flaming cinnamon powder — very theatrical — which was cool for a second, but then our friends noticed the powder got all over their side of the table and even on their phones. The cocktail tasted good, but nothing special. It’s lighter than the Blue Blazer and not very spirit-forward. The ice also melts quickly, so drink it fast or it’ll just taste watered down.

Blue Blazer ($32): Your choice of spirit with ginger snap syrup, hot water, bitters, lemon peel, and nutmeg. Honestly, it tasted like straight alcohol and medicine. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re just trying to get hammered.

Overall, The Roosevelt Room is worth visiting for the showmanship and service, but the cocktails didn’t quite justify the price tag for us.

Cool place with good drinks and knowledgeable bar staff. It’s expensive though – for example, a standard old fashioned is basically $30 after you include their staff benefit fee, tax and tip. It was good and the atmosphere was cool, but that’s a lot for a drink. And others were considerably more.

After being out shopping on a very hot day, we walked past this place and decided to call in for a refreshing drink. It is a very cool bar with a very large selection of cocktails, all of which are responsibly priced for Austin. Our bartender Tomàs made the visit definitely worth it. He is very knowledgeable and recommended some really good cocktails but also made the time to have a chat with us and explain a bit about the bar. We are only in Austin for 4 nights but will definitely call back to this place before we go.
