Came across Roosevelt while trying to find a spot to enjoy some drinks. It did not disappoint, especially with some of their library/book theming with my wife being an avid reader. Due to the night we visited it was minimally busy and we snagged two bar seats. Bartenders were friendly enough and let us have time to figure out what we wanted. Ambiance was nice with dim lighting and an overall chill vibe. Music playing but at the right volume during our visit. The bathrooms are hidden behind bookshelf doors giving it a speakeasy vibe. That library vibe continues with their wall of typewriters. Close to that wall they also had an adjacent wall with a giant mirror. Could definitely picture this place being popular/busy during the weekend. Drink wise I got their Soufflé Espresso Martini while my wife got the Skinny Dipper. The espresso martini was tasty and sweet enough that my wife even liked it. The highlight of it was honestly the presentation with a foam built up taller than the glass. My wife's drink was unique and interesting with the addition of carrot being in it. That led to the bright orange color but it did pair well with the other flavors used too. Overall not our favorite drinks of our trip and while service was good it wasn't as outstanding as we received elsewhere. With that said though a bar worth visiting and checking out! read more

First time here, and all of the servers were SO nice. And it was pretty busy in there-- it was Saturday night. We sat at a table for at least an hour, tried several drinks, and honestly, they were all very good. And they have many options on the menu. I can't wait to go back and try some more drinks. The Soufflé espresso martini was good! But it wasn't my favorite drink I had of the night, I think my favorite was the Lemon Drop Meringue martini-- GOTTA get that one. Oh, and whoever was in control of the playlist was doing a GREAT job, ha. The vibes were (are) RIGHT at this place. Thank & Cheers! read more

Laid back , good cocktails, chill music. Espresso martini Soufflé was great for pre- baseball game drink. Came back after game to finish up. Very pleasant chill experience. Will be back when back in Denver. read more

Always a 10/10 experience the bartenders are super kind and friendly I don't like any other bars in Denver besides this one! The atmosphere is fun, but it doesn't feel like a club, which I really appreciate!! It's the perfect place to grab drinks and have a conversation with someone I recommend their lemon drop and espresso martinis the best ever!! read more

Came for the soufflé espresso martinis & was not disappointed. However, I suggest you order a double to get a better drink to soufflé ratio. You're welcome. Great music. Awesome bartenders. Speakeasy meets library vibe. Great spot to meet up with the gal pals for a cocktail & yap session! read more

Roosevelt - Double espresso soufflé martini - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Drinks were great! Environment great! The first time we entered the security had physically pushed us to the side when we checked in with our IDs. She had a weird attitude from the beginning, being very rude when my friend's MyColoradoID app was loading and said "you ain't showing me nothing". Proceeded to tell us we couldn't get in (the 2nd time) after I told her she was being unnecessarily rude. Female with dreads and thick glasses. I have many family members that work in the club scene and I have never been treated so poorly and disrespectfully by security. That was the only thing that threw me off and didn't let me spend my money where I planned. Beautiful environment, poor employees. read more

Bartender extremely rude on a Wednesday night at 8pm acted as if we were an extreme inconvenience. Will never be back here again and recommended any of the other bars on this strip. read more

Tried this place while on vacation, great vibe and great drinks! The atmosphere was casual but nice read more

I forgot what number spot this was on our bar hopping night in LoDo. I loved the vibe and the decor in here. The dimmed lights were all dandy, until I had to read the menu. Haha. We sat at the bar and were graciously greeted by both bartenders were very friendly. My martini espresso soufflé was a 10 out of 10. We had a one drink rule for each spot that night, but that drink almoooost had me break that rule. Would definitely recommend this spot for a nice cocktail: read more

I've walked by this place numerous times, but could not partake for one reason or another, until my recent birthday. After Ocean Prime dinner we had some time to kill before a comedy show at Comedy Works, so we finally made the stop. I love this place, the drinks are handcrafted and delicious. The interior decor is sophisticated, but not pompous. The bartender was super sweet and made crafted and stiff drinks for us. She was all about taking care of the patrons, even though she was the only one there and everyone decided to arrive at the same time. I didn't mind the wait, as I watched her bustling the bar; it was quite entertaining to me. I would definitely recommend it, a great bar with one of the best decors in town. Its location with proximity to Larimer Square restaurants and Comedy Works, is perfect to visit before or after. Good luck figuring out the entry to the restrooms :) read more

Great spot for pre-show cocktails! I dropped in early evening on a date night before seeing a musical at DCPA. It is a sunken lounge cocktail bar with edgy yet refined characteristics- cozy and intimate vibes. Talented bartender. Fair prices. Only had time to enjoy one cocktail- the espresso martini! One of a kind espresso martini since it has a soufflé floating top! read more

Had to check out this place after seeing the soufflé espresso martini online! My sister and I went for a sister date and it had such a chill yet aesthetically pleasing vibe. The espresso martinis were some of the best I've ever had - if you love a creamy espresso martini vs a stronger coffee tasting espresso martini, this is the spot for you! read more

Roosevelt was the last bar that I went to in Downtown Denver and I was pleasantly surprised at how fun this place is! I ordered the Skinny Dipper, which came highly recommended by the bartender. He mentioned that his wife always gets this cocktail whenever she visits the bar. I had minimal expectations for Skinny Dipper since there's carrot juice in there, but it ended up being one of the better cocktails I've had. I would describe it as creative and refreshing. Overall, I was glad I ended my night out at Roosevelt. Great music and vibe! read more

Extremely disappointed with my wife and I's experience at Roosevelt. The ambiance and location is great. However, the staff who helped us was not. Our bartender Ally, was extremely drunk. She forgot my wife and I's orders multiple times and was outright rude to us at some point. Luckily one of the bar backs recognized what was going on and was able to help us get our orders in. When we did get our cocktails, we had little to no time to enjoy them because our bartender kept hounding us to get another round. Overall, the place has great potential but needs to figure out this staffing issue. read more

Roosevelt is a super cool classy casual spot on 15th street. I've walked by a hundred times and finally stopped in for a quick drink with a friend. The menu was kick ass but since my eyes were a bit heavy I opted for the classic espresso martini. In my opinion one of the best in Denver! It was thick and creamy and served its purpose of propping us up before dinner and drinks with some friends. When we came in it was pretty empty (given it was fairly early) but they had awesome tunes & even better service. Neatly hidden bathroom doors behind huge library-style bookshelves and all-around sweet decor and vibe. read more

I like the low lighting atmosphere good vibes great music great drinks it kind of has a speakeasy vibe.

We were waiting for a table at a restaurant down the street so we decided to stop at Roosevelt to grab a drink or two in the meantime. I had read some reviews about it and had done some research and had decided not to make any effort to come in before getting to Denver. However, since we had to wait and it was close by, we decided to go ahead and give it a go. I would say that I should have made this place a destination to go to on it's own. I was worried about how other reviewers were saying it was dark, loud and cheap with their unoriginal cocktails. I found my experience to be quite the opposite. It may have been because it was during daylight, but the place was lit nicely (when we walked by when it was dark already after dinner it was still lit nicely) and the garage doors were open. It was funny seeing people come through the window vs the actual door. The overhead music wasn't too loud for us to speak to each other or the bartenders. We liked the eclectic mix of music that was playing, as we both like multiple genres of music. The décor is super cute with the bathrooms behind bookcases and printers on the wall. The service was great. It was a bit slow getting our drinks but I was watching him make them and that added to the fun experience. The guys behind the bar the night we came were hilarious, friendly and just plain fun. They are also pretty organized and clean AF! I was impressed by the cleanliness of their bar. And now to the best part... the cocktails. I didn't find them to taste like they had cheap alcohol in them. I didn't see them using cheap alcohol either (although I know you can refill a bottle with cheaper stuff, I don't think they do this.) We ordered off the house specialties menu and not one drink we had wasn't delicious or was watered down. I would actually probably say the dirty blonde was one of the best cocktails using grapefruit I've ever had. I was sad I had to gulp it down when our table was ready. Definitely coming back when in town again!!! read more

I was on a girls trip and we had all been dying to try an Espresso Martini together. We looked up where the best place to get one was and all the reviews said Roosevelt's so we had to go! The reviews were spot on and not only were the drinks delicious, the ambiance was amazing and the music was perfect! (It was basically these 4 millennial moms high school hip hop playlists lol) I definitely will go back when in town next time! read more

I made a reservation Wednesday night for Saturday, we had a group of 12 people for my husband's 40th. We got there right on time, if not a little earlier and the GM ends telling me that they don't really make reservations or hold tables. I was so confused as I had a whole text string showing my reservation was confirmed for the two booths in the back of the bar. After talking to him for a few minutes, he said we can sit in one booth after the group that was already there left. By that time, the rest of my group was pretty upset too and agreed to go to the bar next door--The Front Porch. We ended up enjoying ourselves there and the bartenders were also great at The Front Porch. Be cautious if you decide to make a reservation with Roosevelt. read more

Awesome espresso martinis and very cool atmosphere! Will definitely be back. Bartenders were great and fun to talk to.

Tyler is the best bartender, dude knows what's up and keeps track of what we need! He's great and checks in with everyone very consistently.

Very cool spot to spend an evening. All of the cocktails were clearly thought out and tasted great. The inside gets very dark at night but it works. Very intimate feel even though it can get crowded fast. The bathrooms hidden behind bookshelves threw me for a loop, good cocktails, dark in a good way! Again it just adds to the atmosphere. I would recommend giving Roosevelt a try. read more

Found this bar visiting from out on town, went on a whim with some people I met at another bar and I'm super glad I did. This place is fantastic. From the drinks to the ambience to the bartenders, Roosevelt delivers more than just a wide variety of drinks, they deliver a great experience as well. I tried the White Rhino (pictured), Dirty Blonde, Margherita, French 75, Autumn Nurse, and Vieux Carre -- not all at once of course, but throughout the course of the week. All of them were affordable, delicious, and prepared excellently. Also, small detail, but I absolutely love the fact the bookshelves in the back are not only doors to the bathrooms, but real bookshelves as well. Pick up something random and read it at the bar if you wanna look studious. Shout-out to Jeremy for going above and beyond and helping me choose what to drink and to Kristy for bearing with me and making sure I was safe. I'll definitely come back again when I'm in Denver! read more

Great place to visit! Cocktails and staff were amazing. Tyler was our bartender, and he made some great "iff the menu" cocktails.

Very much enjoyed the vibe of Roosevelt. Bartenders were great and friendly and drinks were fantastic. Music was good as well. Only down side was no food. We probably would have stayed for another round had we been able to have an app or snack. read more

Came here after being re-guided by the doorman at Canopy to a classier mixology type lounge and not the college party we had accidentally attended at Canopy. The place is great, beautiful setting, music was amazing, some people were dancing downstairs by the bar area but it is mostly a lounge. They closed down at 2 am but the highlight was Sterling who created the most amazing drinks for us with just us picking our liquor (gin) and mentioning the lighter the better. He is a genius. Will have to go back when we are in town again! read more

Roosevelt - Lounge area above bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Word of advice, don't come to this bar. We got into Denver late and found this bar not too far from the hotel. 1) The music was so loud I had to scream at my friends in order to talk to them. The playlist also sucked. 2) I tried two different cocktails and both were awful. One of them I didn't even try to finish. 3) they needed a card on file to start a tab and what do you know....the next morning my friend got a call from her bank saying her card information was stolen and she only used her card at this bar. The only good thing about this place was the cocktail waitress who was really nice and attentive. read more

This is one of my favorite bars in Denver. As a writer, the typewriters on the wall and the secret doors behind the bookshelves are one insanely awesome. Ordering drinks like "The Poet" out of a hard cover book is fun and unique. The last time I was there we had great conversations with the attentive bartender. I do know he was working as fast as possible trying to keep up with the growing crowd while his manager offered up no help. That business practice could use some revision. Overall this place has an incredible vibe and great location. I only get to visit when traveling there for work. I definitely recommend stopping by. Just try to find the bathrooms without asking for help. Part of the experience! read more

You should update your hours online. It's inconsiderate and disrespectful for folks to take ubers ALL the way to your establishment just so you can be closed. Honestly it is unacceptable.
