    🍸Roosevelt Room 🍸 Came here for their birthday celebration and had a great time! The cocktails are made with several ingredients and the bartenders have done such a great job making many in a short time. Can’t wait to come back and try more! Classic downtown cocktail bar. Great place for a date night too.

    For my first time in Austin Texas I have to say this place is a must!, the atmosphere is that of the 80s cabaret, low lighting with phenomenal touches. The bartenders don’t just serve drinks, they make art and seem to be very in love with what they do (hard to find nowadays). Perfect place to relax and unwind while you chat with colleagues or a date. Overall I give this place a 10/10.

    Nice atmosphere, dark and cozy, with nice ambient lighting. Required masks while walking thru bar, but seating was very close together without masks. Definitely not a place for people worried about Covid. Drinks were very unique, and for the most part, reasonably priced. Comparable to a hotel bar, but much fancier. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. I would recommend making a reservation.

    Came here with family last night and soaked in the atmosphere. Loved the classic movies playing on the projector and the massive drink list posted on the wall. The ambient lighting was perfect and the servers were friendly. I'm not a drinker myself so I was happy to see a list of non-alcoholic options on menu. Had the glitter & marigold which tasted like an orange creamsicle. The rest of my party was very pleased with their drinks and we loved this place!

    Exceptional service! Every encounter was kind and thoughtful. Their menu is well thought out, with a variety for every taste. Their cocktail list is very expansive and will make custom drinks if asked. If you enjoy a fine cocktail or just a nice environment for a drink this is great relaxing spot!

    This is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion with innovative cocktails. The Too Little, Too Late cocktail was my favorite. It has a unique blend of flavors that come together perfectly to create a delicious drink. I also really enjoyed the chicken liver mousse crostini. Impressive bar, cool atmosphere, knowledgeable bartenders, and great service. This place proves that bartending is an art.

    Super fun cocktail bar that has a great menu with all kinds of creative new cocktails and delicious classics. Our bar tender was super fun and outgoing we enjoyed watching him make drinks for a couple hours. Love the volume level as well, it’s quiet enough to talk to your date and loud enough to be alive and fun. Will definitely be back.

    Very cozy atmosphere. 87 different cocktails to choose from. My Caipirinha was just okay and nothing to write home about. I found it odd that they add a "staff benefits" charge to the receipt. The drinks are a bit pricey for my taste. All in all I would probably visit again to try some of the other hand crafted cocktails. Cheers!

    Totally forgot to post my visit a few months ago and felt it is definitely well deserved. Absolutely fantastic cocktail bar. At the time I visited I was lucky to get a reservation as this is certainly the cocktail bar to be at. Excellent table service. Ordered a Martinez which was absolutely perfectly crafted. A true early era cocktail. All of our drinks were on point. Will definitely be back on my next visit to ATX! Cheers.

    One of the best places to have a nice craft cocktail to perfection! We started with the Happy Hour menu but quickly move to the most elaborate drinks. I would definitely comeback for another drink :)

    went for the holiday party and it was incredibly well done and highly detailed. the drinks were good but not mind-blowing given the price abuse reputation. we still enjoyed ourselves and would definitely go back

    Pricey but beautiful and well thought of crafted drinks. The ambiance is beautiful and cozy for a date! The hostesses and servers were great and attentive. For the price the drinks should have been stronger. The bathrooms were clean which is great for a downtown location. We didn't have reservations but were still able to walk in as a party of 4.

    This is the second visit to this bar. It's best to have reservations so you can guarantee a spot. The drinks are delicious and you can order drinks from different eras. They also have some great classics.

    I liked everything about this bar. The drink menu is sorted by time period with each cocktail and ingredients harkening back to its origins. Both boozy and sweet drinks were easy to find and were well prepared. Highest marks for garnish, glassware choices, and presentation. The milk and cookies presentation of the Milk Punch cocktail is inspired. I will go again for sure.

    This place is a must for cocktail enthusiasts. Super creative and intricate drinks. We had the sweet and spicy nuts which were great, and we had a variety of drinks. Not a single drink was anything less than great. Service was great and the ambiance was really cool. I'll definitely be coming back each time I'm in Austin. The happy hour specials were a nice touch too. Half price classic cocktails and discounted snacks.

    The Roosevelt Room is a great little speakeasy with delicious craft cocktails! It’s a great date night spot or also someplace you can go with your girlfriends, or anyone! The ambiance is wonderful. It’s very dark and sexy inside. They play great music as well. I would suggest sitting at the bar so you can see the bartenders make all of the cool drinks! It’s a work of art! You do need to make a reservation before you go! It’s not a very big place inside. If you haven’t been yet, I would definitely suggest you try it!

    A classy cocktail bar experience. Loved the dark and moody atmosphere. For a show, sit at the bar and watch the bartenders work their magic. It is a great place to try 50 plus different cocktails. Reservations are highly recommended.

    The Roosevelt Room was a great experience! Upon entering it immediately gives a dark secret vibe. Reservations are encouraged, and we were seated right away. We chose to sit downstairs on the reservation and we were seated at the bar. Having and up front view of the magic was awesome. The drink menu is large and extremely diverse, listed by era of drinks. The bar staff was so kind, extremely talented, and made great recommendations. Watching each drink be made truly was entertaining and gave such an appreciation of the drinks! We happened to have our reservation overlap with the later half if happy hour, and I highly recommend that if possible! The happy hour drinks are $8. There is a food menu also of charcuterie boards and light snacks.

    This cocktail bar is a hoot and a half! We booked reservations early and we’re lucky enough to sit at the bar. It was a delight to discuss the different drinks with Johnny and it shows that he truly enjoys his work. Ordering off of their unique cocktail menu was our favorite, the drinks were delicious, fun and unexpected. I also highly recommend the pickle plate (pickled fruit is amazing, who knew?!) and the Chicken Liver Pate with gluten free bread is a top order!!

    This place is definitely one of a kind. Amazing decor, ambiance and aesthetics. The service was exceptional, everyone was very friendly and attentive. They literally have a menu of cocktails with drinks for days. It’s hard to believe anyone couldn’t find what they want. Every cocktail I had was perfectly crafted. The prices are affordable as well.

    This is an upscale cocktail bar in downtown Austin. I visited for the first time the other night. I went on a Tuesday, so it wasn't so crowded, but sill had a decent amount of people there. I loved the décor of the place. My drink was delicious. I had The Buck to the Future - it was a recommendation from our waiter. I would definitely come here again for a special occasion.

    The Roosevelt Room is a must do in Austin for any cocktail lover. The selection of drinks is amazing and I love all the house made options as well. Our bartender Armando was so knowledgeable and friendly, he chatted with us while making drinks and happily explained everything he was doing as we questioned him on different spirits. We not only got to try many delicious drinks, but learned so much about spirits. Thank you Armando for your fabulous service! I’d recommend the Roosevelt Room for any cocktail enthusiast, date night spot or someone looking for a tasty drink! We will be back next time we visit Austin!

    The Roosevelt Room is THE place if you are in Austin and want to check out some really well made cocktails. So far I have been here 3 times and already planning my 4th visit this weekend. The amount of options they have in terms of cocktails is unbelievable. The bartenders really know what they are doing. The place is dimly lit but well decorated. If you are at the bar then watching the cocktail mixing process is not less than a show that you get for free. I would say the most ordered drink at this place is the Zombie which is served in a metal skull. If you can then definitely get the bar seats to watch the bartenders in action. The bar section has such a variety of liquor bottles, glasses, the decorative items and whatnot. They do have limited food options. I didn't get a chance to look if they have vegan options but for vegetarians they do have grilled cheese. I would highly recommend this place for the vibe, well-mixed drinks and good time!

    Extremely helpful and friendly servers. Delicious and creative cocktails at unpretentious prices. I had the buck to the future, it was a really well done flavor combination.
