The Roger Room is one of my all time favorite bars. Phenomenal bartenders, classy atmosphere, pleasant crowd, great music. They have the best espresso martini I have ever had (Black Dahlia). Their twist on a screwdriver (Spring Street) is also amazing. It gets busy but there is a reason why! read more

This place is gross. Decided to go here on a random night and it was grungy. Smelled like beer/vomit inside, stuffy and stale air. Sticky and unkept.

I took a chance reaching out to this bar for our engagement photoshoot, even though I had never been there before--just heard nothing but amazing things. From the start, management was absolutely immaculate. The general manager was beyond sweet, so generous, and made the entire experience effortless and welcoming. The environment itself is insanely cool--from the artwork and paintings, to the moody lighting, to the bar setup... every detail is a vibe. Our photos came out better than I could've imagined, and I'm so grateful we chose this spot. If you're ever in the LA area, this place is a must-visit.

Cruised in here for a late night cocktail when we were in the area. I have a soft spot for speakeasies, and the interior is certainly retro and clubby, but the entrance is just like any other bar/club. Cocktails are interesting with lots of creativity if you want to go that way, as well as options for the more conventional cocktails. It is far to distant for me to make this a regular haunt, but it is a fun, somewhat offbeat option if you are in the area. read more

This is such a cool bar, I stopped by for the first time before a show at Largo and you might miss it if you don't pay attention! Usually the line getting into Largo cuts in front of the entrance to the Roger Room so once you squeeze by and walk through the open door, you're in a pretty neat space! There were two bartenders working this night, super cool guys and offered good suggestions. I went with the Japanese Maple and El Gordo, both unique and bold drinks with subtle sweetness on the Maple and more tang on the Gordo. And they know how to pour, you can actually taste the alcohol along with the other flavor combinations so you know the bartenders know their stuff. read more

It's a cute spot to bring someone who is visiting. If you want seating, be ready to get there on the early side or be willing to wait another group out.

Friendly and knowledgeable bartenders you can trust to craft a balanced cocktail. The atmosphere is refreshing, slightly grunge, order at the bar and no cover. Parking is right out front on the street and is usually readily available. I recommend sitting at the bar for the best experience. Admittedly, we've been here twice before when they've been randomly closed for the evening or it's been unbelievably packed, making us decide to go elsewhere. So, it's a good idea to have a backup plan just in case. read more

We popped into the Roger room on our way back from dinner because we were really wanting to go to a speakeasy. This place is very easy to find no trouble at all it's very small it was incredibly packed standing room only. Very difficult to get the attention of the bartender to get a drink , once we got his attention. His attitude was very stiff and basically quickly made our cocktail and shoved it in front of us. We asked for an extra jalapeño in the cocktail and he said "you don't need it. " We both laughed and thought is this an LA thing!!! The drinks we're tasty. But we would never come back to this particular speakeasy... not a cool vibe.... read more

I've been to Roger Room multiple times over the years and have always had a fabulous experience. The drinks are divine, the bartenders are conscientious, the space is chic and inviting. Honestly, what's not to love? It does tend to get pretty busy, so going early is your best bet if you want to snag a booth. But that's a small price to pay for such a fun night out! On my most recent visit I got The Black Dahlia (their version of an espresso martini) and it was rich and delicious. Definitely one of my favorite spots in LA! read more

Was a little concerned about finding the entrance and parking, but I was easily able to find street parking and the door was open. I loved walking through the heavy red curtains and being transported into another time. The decor inside is engaging to look at and I loved that they already have Christmas decorations up. I ordered an espresso martini and it had a great balance of flavor and wasn't too thin. I was pleasantly surprised! I also ordered the old sport, which was served me in a Santa mug, which I greatly appreciated. The servers were attentive and helpful. I've gone by myself and wasn't in a super talkative mood, and I appreciated that they engaged with me, but did not encroach on my alone time. Would definitely love to go back! read more

The space is cute and the bartenders are attentive. I'll give it that much. But they axed their sole affordable gluten-free option (a hard kombucha), while keeping several canned beers. When I asked, there are no plans to replace it. One of the bartenders suggested this decision may have been to support cocktail sales. If so, I really think that logic is flawed. It doesn't disincentivize beer drinkers at all, and making hard liquor the only gluten-free option doesn't seem wise. But who knows - maybe the $25 cocktail is having a moment right now, and I'm just not clued in. read more

Dark bar with a vast menu of drinks. Came here after EP&LP to get away from the scene-iness, and this was a very different environment. There's indoor and outdoor seating (smoking allowed). There is one restroom stall available for women and it's a pretty small space, but it also makes it easier to make bathroom friends. They even have absinthe here. There are waiters that come around to take orders. The vibe is more of a sit down space. read more

Really nice place however the drinks were not up to par. Two stars for how nice the place is but the drinks were a letdown. I dont mind paying for an expensive drink as long as its good but that was not the case here. Tried 3 different drinks and all were less than savory. Its unfortunate since the bartender was nice and the place is cool. Maybe it was a new bartender? In any case they should be trained to make drinks as this did not seem to be the case here. read more

Made a reservation here for a Thursday night at 9. Easy to find as someone on the street as us if we were looking for the bar and pointed to the black door. When we arrived, no one seemed to be checking anyone in so we grabbed a table. It was a little cold and the bartender pointed us to a table where the AC wasn't blowing directly on you. The bartender went over the menu, answered our questions and then we didn't see him again to take our drink order. Or we did see him, behind the bar working and chatting. So we went up to the bar to order from there- which I recommend. They get busy. So don't expect table service. All of the cocktails were delicious. The people that worked there were very personable. Fun drink names and decor. Pretty cool place. read more

From the Business

Specialties

Best West Hollywood Bar, LA Weekly, 2013 "The Roger Room probably isn't what pops to mind when you think of a WeHo bar. There's no velvet rope, no half-dressed hotties, no hordes of beautiful people texting that they'd rather be somewhere else. Instead, it is nearly the perfect place to drink. Behind that barely marked doorway -- thick red curtains, with a gentle breeze suggesting hidden wonders beyond -- is a dark, slightly tatty saloon with an excellent list of craft cocktails, solicitous bartenders and the happy buzz of real conversation. There are murals on the walls, cozy booths if you're lucky and a few shadowy corners for canoodling. And those cocktails! Try the Flim Flam, an intoxicating mix of gin, Cynar artichoke liqueur and maraschino, washed down with a swish of Sambuca, and just try not to ogle the attractive young man in old-timey garb delivering it. This may be West Hollywood, but this is not a meat market." *Open all holidays

And even then one had to be sent back because it was wrong. When it did finally arrive the eggs were lukewarm and the waffle was undercooked. Staff was apologetic but otherwise did nothing to rectify the situation. Would give one star but the food that came out on time was good.

The cutest hole in the wall bar that I have found. Stumbled upon it by accident and fell in love…read morewith the ambiance. It's dark but has warm lighting and really cool decor such as upside down stools and fireplaces on the ceiling. My bartenders Matt & Kelsey were super friendly & made some fire drinks. The menus are aesthetic to look at because drinks are categorized by type of liquor, each drink described in detail and each description is accompanied by a picture of what the drink is supposed to look like. However, there is no food menu just alcoholic drinks. I found parking across the street where the CVS & WholeFoods are located. I didn't have any issues, but I only parked there for about 2 hours. Right before I left, the bartenders helped me discover a secret entrance to the bar next door. When you walk in you'll notice a bookshelf, if you slide that bookshelf to the right, you'll open the entrance to the bar next door. Pretty cool! Will definitely come back again.

Vibe: So cute!!! The decorations are upside down. If I ever…read moreneed to bring friends from out of town somewhere, I would bring them to this place. It's unique and the vibes are chill. it's also not too loud so ya'll can talk. Could be a good spot for a date. Drink: They have a lot of creative and unique drinks on the menu, so it makes me more inclined to come through to try all the different drinks. I happened to visit during the work week, so I couldn't get too crazy. lolol Mr. Roake: 5/5 There's aloe in it!

Upside down bar!

The vibes are a little confusing and divey on a Saturday night but plenty of high top tables and seating options. It's a great place to catch up with friends or go on a date night if you want to cool/casual vibes.

No food I just stopped by for a drink. The sign outside caught my attention the unique design and…read morelayout on the inside is what drew me in. It's spacious and clean. One of the dopest bars I've seen thus far. Gives you that airport feel. From being in one of the airline's lounges to having a seat while sipping on your flight. The bartender was real cool. A group of 4 others inside and he was attentive to us all. He actually looked bored like he was hoping to get some action lol. I enjoyed my Old Fashioned. It was just right. And so was the flight lol. I came during happy hour but I would love to come back during the evening or late hours to see what the experience is also like.

The place is so cool and oh, so fun! The Aviator is a magnificently decorated and themed airplane bar which has a first class and coach section seats that are exactly like being on a real airplane along with seat belts, trays and movable arm chairs and a Flight Attendant bell to request service! Food: we were treated to fries which were delicious! The Aviator offers a nice appetizer menu along with specialty drinks themed to the bar. We ordered Aperol Spritzes and they were delicious and refreshing! All reasonably priced too, yay! They have "cart" service too which added to the airplane themed experience! Service: Splendid! The Bartender and Flight Attendant were attentive and friendly! My friend and I had a blast of fun and plan to visit again soon! If you haven't been to The Aviator yet, plan to do so! You'll be glad you did!

They even have oxygen masks!
