Absolutely fantastic experience! We were looking for a place to enjoy a post-concert drink and stumbled across The Roosevelt Room. We weren't looking for much by way of menu just a few snacks or small bites for Girl Dinner. We found just that here. The Sumac and pepper popcorn was to die for! I really don't drink that much or often, but decided to have one. The drink list is extensive, but very organized by era. I decided to go for the Zombie. My server, Noah encouraged my audacity! I can't remember whether it was described as dramatic as it showed up, but let me tell you there was drama! It was served in a flaming skull, garnished with beautiful flowers and fresh fruit, and filled to the brim with God knows how much alcohol and juice, but it was a time! To heighten the experience, he sprinkled something in a shaker and the flames just erupted! The whole restaurant stopped and I cackled! To put out the flame, Noah gave one dramatic clap, and the flame disappear disappeared! I want to thank Noah and the team for encouraging my ridiculousness and delivering me an excellent craft drink with all the drama I deserved and could ever ask for! 10/10! Gotta go back to see how much more ridiculous I can go! Can't stop now! Join me! read more

It's a really nice cocktail bar with interesting cocktail options and finger foods. I went here for my cousin's birthday. I had an old fashioned and the hummus plate. One of my cousins had the charcuterie board. Both were delicious. Our waiter took good care of us. I like that they have an assortment of drinks from different decades. There seems to be a drink for every palate. If alcohol isn't your thing, they have mocktails. The ambiance was nice. The lights were warm and low. Old movies played on the wall from a projector. Walls are lined with vintage books. Overall, I think this is a cool place. I look forward to returning. read more

Upscale yet fun cocktail bar with great staff and drinks. Food: 4 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 4.5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights - Classy atmosphere - Upstairs has a few tables and a quieter smaller bar - Downstairs has booths tables and a long bar which is a bit more lively - Isaac: skilled bartender that was fun to watch him make the drinks - Great temperature controlled drinks super cold classes--it's the little extra things that make a differene - Some cocktails have very cool glasses: one with a very long stem, a skull, etc. - Martinis: unique shisho and solid vesper - Grilled cheese: looked basic but the gouda and cheddar mix garlic rosemary oil on the sourdough bread, and crispy cheese on edges were great. 4.5 stars - Looks nice but no dress code where the FAQ said come in what you are comfortable in which which I appreciate - Can make reservation on open table and choose upstairs or down Midlights - Downstairs has a different menu than upstairs : down more simple by time period, up more upscale detailed - Pretzels for dessert were just simple tiny crispy choc covered. 3 stars - For the grilled cheese might have been able to go with an upgraded chip from Ruffles--maybe even a Kettle chip Lowlights - Even in quieter upstairs can't hear the bartender when right in front of him - Special board featuring drinks but they were out of the one I wanted read more

The Roosevelt Room seems to be an Austin staple, and drinks are creative and delicious. I was doing N/A that night - and my mocktail, a negroni sans alcohol was shockingly tasty. Mocktails are hard - and I give them so much credit for making it delicious. My friend ordered a drink that tasted similarly to a peach cobbler, which she enjoyed enough to order a second. My only gripe is atmosphere - the space itself is not very inviting or interesting. Would be so nice to have a space that matched the level of drinks and cocktails served. read more

A friend mentioned she was having dinner at The Roosevelt Room, and I realized I had never been, so I added it to my Austin dining bucket list. After attending a murder mystery event next door, I stopped in for a bite to eat. The Roosevelt Room is a whole vide...the quintessential romantic location. While the bar is best known for its expertly crafted cocktails, I enjoyed watching the bartenders at work and decided to save the cocktails for my next visit (root canal recovery in progress). The atmosphere blends speakeasy charm with modern elegance, featuring dim lighting and smooth sultry music in the background. It appears to be an ideal spot for a romantic date night, catching up with friends, or unwinding after a long day of work. I will definitely be back to sample their signature cocktails on a date night with the hubs. read more

"No I've never been to Austin, but I kinda like the music...all the people say it's crazy but I know they don't abuse it..." (RIP Chuck Negron) This was my "Must go to" spot on the first day we were here...and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I made a reservation per recommendation on their website and I am glad I did. As the evening went on it got very busy. The foyer where you check in reminded me of the lobby of a small theatre. There were 2 velveteen curtains separating it from the restaurant. When the curtains parted a huge room with high industrial ceilings and architecture was revealed. WOW!!!! The hostess led us upstairs to the smaller loft bar and told us to sit where ever we wanted...So, we sat with a review to the entire place! We ordered food and drinks from their huge cocktail menu. We watched the bartender make both drinks with fascination. *BTW The bartenders here need to know how to make every cocktail by heart and there are over 50 specialty cocktails! Rosie and I went with: Vodkadora - Wódka Vodka, raspberry syrup, ginger syrup, lime, soda water Cigar Box - Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, smoked black tea syrup, RR lavender bitters, tobacco essence, served on an ashtray with a flamed cinnamon stick Food: CLASSIC REUBEN w/chips - 5/5 sooo good (Rye bread with Rosemary-Garlic Butter, Corned Beef, Swiss Cheese, housemade Sauerkraut & Russian Dressing) SALADE VERTE 5/5 - light and fresh Loved the industrial space and decor. Great for large groups - don't really recommend for children ~ and that's all I have to say about that... read more

Just wow... ok no one wants to hear, "Taylor Swift" but... this bar has the Eras vibe. I came back to edit as I don't want my TS comment to deter you from this excellent place! there are so many cocktails "by the era" starting from the prohibition era (1920-1933) to post volstead (1933-1950s) to Tiki (1930-1970) and Dark Ages (1950-1990) to modern classics (2000+) not to mention, RR classic creations, award winning cocktails such as the poets muse (which I ordered) - the vibe is exquisite. This place is a MUST go to if in DT Austin. Forget six street shenanigans, go for classic. I'm so glad I decided to stop in. Definitely worth it!

Don't skip out on this place. read more

My boyfriend and I came in for happy hour without a reservation and were seated immediately. The bar had a dark, cozy, and intimate atmosphere. We ordered the Espresso Martini, Vodkadora, French 75, and Pisco Sour. All of the drinks were strong and delicious! The service was fantastic as well. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our visit. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area! We'll definitely be back to try more drinks. read more

I stumbled into this bar and it is the most beautiful space. The couch/ alcove seating they have is my favorite. You can sit to face the beautiful bar and watch the old movies they play. There is no sound so if they put the words on you could know what's happening but that's not the point. The vibe is curated! Their menu takes your through time and has drinks from each decade. It's such fun experience to drink through different eras. read more

The Roosevelt Room in downtown Austin is a masterclass in craft mixology, set within a moody, dimly lit lounge that exudes sophisticated vintage charm.

Whether you want a meticulously executed classic, a bold signature creation, or elevated bar bites, it stands as one of the premier cocktail experiences in the city.

Have visited Austin a few times, and enjoyed going to The Roosevelt Room for cocktails. It is a large, well-known cocktail bar located downtown and within walking distance of many hotels and popular nightlife spots. While you can walk in, I would recommend making a reservation, especially on busier nights. Their cocktail menu is extensive, easily over a hundred options, and thoughtfully organized by theme, spirit, and even time period. It is especially fun to see classic and historical cocktails categorized by era. There is plenty of seating, both along the bar and at tables throughout the space. The bartenders are excellent, very knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to help guide you through the menu. Across my visits, I tried several different cocktails and really enjoyed exploring some lesser-known gin drinks in particular. Highly recommend stopping here for a drink before or after dinner if you are visiting Austin. read more

I stopped by when the main Roosevelt Room had an event and their next door Christmas bar was open. My review is for the Christmas bar. What a fun spot! They decked this out in Christmas decorations even throughout the bathroom. You have plenty of photo ops but when you're done with that. Grab your drink! Between the fun glasses and the great variety in holiday drinks, you can't go wrong. The bartenders are excellent and will make a great drink off menu for you too! Must visit! read more

The Roosevelt Room is an Award-winning restaurant. It is an "experience" you will not want to miss. My friend, Te-see, did the research and made reservations, which minimized our wait time. Enter the waiting room, the hostess will check you in and open the velvet curtain so you can be escorted to your seat/table. The first floor has a long bar and high-top stools on the left-hand side and tables to the right side of the room. We had seats in the upstairs loft, which has its own bar. This area is smaller and more intimate, you'll have a full view of the main floor below. Both rooms are dimly lit with candles and chandeliers, nice leather seats, hardwood floors giving a comfortable and semi-mysterious vibe. The cocktails are to be appreciated for their quality top-shelf ingredients. The list is quite impressive, organized by era (pre- and post-Prohibition years). The drinks are named and inspired from places all over the world (Alpha order): Brazil, Canada, Cuba, London, Malaysia, Paris, Peru, Trinidad, Virgin Islands and the United States (USA separate list) USA States inspired drinks (in Alpha order): California, Milwaukee, Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia I enjoyed the "Cigar Box," cocktail which was served on a crystal ashtray. The cigar was a cinnamon stick, which was dipped and lit for a smoky look. My sandwich was a classic Ruben Corned Beef on rye with Swiss Cheese, Sauerkraut and Russian dressing, served with side salad or kettle chips. The Roosevelt Room has Master Bartendering classes every month on making cocktails. You can request a private class for 8 to 100 friends starting at $150 per person (includes cocktails and appetizers). NOTE: For a limited time, proceeds from featured drinks will go to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) .... applause and thank you VERY MUCH to Roosevelt Room for this.

Another great craft cocktail bar in Austin that's been around since 2015. It's in the heart of the warehouse district and as you can imagine, extremely popular. If you're planning on visiting, you should really have reservations. Or if you're feeling lucky, you can try your shot at just showing up. Either way, it's an experience not to be missed. It's an industrial design with exposed brick walls and exposed ceilings. Booth seating, high-top & bench combo seating, counter seating with a large wooden countertop, as well as bar seating. Artwork hangs in the exposed brick walls. It's very much the industrial/warehouse setting. The food menu is just as appealing as the cocktail menu. However, I've not had much in the way of food and plan to remedy that on our next visit. I did share a grilled cheese and chocolate pretzel with my boyfriend. So good! The NA'Groni (mocktail Negroni) tastes exactly like a full-fledge Negroni. There is also an orange flower mocktail I really like. It's so pretty and tasty. Rub the Jules is a house made cocktail with Jameson Caskmates and other ingredients. It is so cool to look at and even better to drink! They've got a nice selection of house cocktails as well as the classics and a few others. Like most high-end cocktail bars, the offerings of mocktails are as elegant and tasty as any cocktail on the menu. They have happy hour daily until 6 pm that consists of 10 cocktails, and food & wine deals. Because they get so busy it sometimes shows in the service. Not in a bad way but more so that it can get hectic and you might have to wait a little longer. I don't see that as a bad thing because you're paying for a craft cocktail and you're not at a beer and shot establishment. read more

Enjoyed some drinks at the Roosevelt Room but slightly underwhelmed. Very dark, cozy, and sophisticated and classic cocktail lounge atmosphere. It was fun watching the bartenders craft their works of art and also enjoyed the classic movie The Birds playing which added to the vintage feel! Decent service. Prices are steep as cocktails enter the $20+ range but it was a unique cocktail lounge experience nonetheless. Also ordered some bar snacks- popcorn ($6) and spiced nuts ($9)- again added to the experience but underwhelming, not unique, and not worth it for the value. For example, warming these snacks or popping the popcorn fresh would elevate these snacks but they were served cold. Additionally, there is a $1/ guest fee charged on top of exorbitant prices so they are definitely raking in the coin. I'm just not sure it was worth it. They have an expansive cocktail menu. I had an old fashioned and a Tipperary which were fine but didn't blow my socks off. Maybe I would have been more impressed with more exotic drinks. If you're wanting an intimate and unique place for a date night, this would be a solid option but you'll need your paycheck! read more

We stopped at the Roosevelt Room after deciding the vibes at Powder Room weren't for us. The ambiance was much more intimate, there was penty of seating to accomodate for couples and groups and overall, much more laid-back. Upon walking in, a huge wall filled with awards greeted us, then the hostess. She informed us that the establishment was highly decorated and recognized for its drinks. We were seated at the illuminated bar top, past the velvet curtains. Its quite dim inside - the further you are from the bar, the darker it gets since the bar is the main light source. The menu is quite massive and can get a little intimdating. However, that wasn't much of an issue as the bartender made us reccomendations based on our preferences. We got the Silver Meadows and Hemingway Daiquri. I personally didn't like the punch of sake in the Silver Meadows and found the Hemingway Daiquri to be preferable. Both lean towards the refreshing/tart flavor profile. Overall, the vibes were right: quiet and lounge-like. The service was also exceptional with knowledgable bartenders. They were also super friendly. I've had better drinks, but still really enjoyed. read more

Are you kidding that this is considered one of Austin's top bars? The drinks were completely underwhelming. We ordered "too late too little" and the "milk punch."One tasted like fruity water and the other one tasted like seasoning sauce. And then they tucked in an extra charge for "employee benefits?" The only redeeming quality here is the interior design. If this is the benchmark for Austin, I genuinely feel bad for the locals. read more

Really disappointing experience, and unfortunately it had almost everything to do with the hostesses working inside the bar on the night of September 11, 2026. We were seated at one of the long tables near the entrance and noticed there were six open seats at the bar. We politely asked if we could move to the bar, but the hostess told us we couldn't because there was a waitlist. This made very little sense considering we were already seated inside as paying customers, and all six bar seats were sitting open. When we tried to explain that we would simply prefer to sit at the bar, there was absolutely no effort to accommodate us or even hear us out. We were told they needed us to stay where we were in order to manage their seating. Meanwhile, the seats we asked about remained open. The biggest issue was the attitude of the hostesses working inside on the night of 9/11/26. They were extremely rude, dismissive, and made us feel more like an inconvenience than customers. To be very clear, the hostesses working outside on the street were actually very nice and welcoming. Our complaint is specifically about the hostesses handling the seating inside. We even witnessed another couple being treated poorly. They were moved from a booth to the entrance seating next to us simply because their table had not been cleaned yet. Instead of simply cleaning the table and allowing them to stay, the customers were made to move. I completely understand having a waitlist and needing to manage seating, but there is a professional way to communicate that. Having open seats is one thing; being rude and unwilling to even listen to your customers is another. The way the inside hostesses handled multiple customers that night completely ruined the experience. Based on the service alone, we would not come back. read more

Try to make reservations in advance. I was surprised how much hassle I received for trying to walk in at 6 PM on a Saturday. All the bar seats were reserved, so we ended up at a table. The service was friendly and helpful in explaining the sophisticated menu with 90 different options. They do cocktails by era, starting with the late 1800s, which is kind of cool and unique. The service is not super fast, but I overlooked it considering a great amount of care and attention must go into crafting each cocktail. 2 round (4 drinks) plus an order of popcorn ran about $90, before tip. read more

I originally found this cocktail bar on the Michelin website's discovery page. This was before the guide's inspectors even came to Austin to deliver formal ratings, BTW so you know they've been well-liked for a while. I thought it would be the perfect place to go with my sister who was in town, after a nice, chill dinner in East Austin (prior Casa Bianca review). I was right because the timing worked out perfectly with reservations here at 7:30. We arrived slightly closer to 7:40 due to Austin weekend traffic but didn't need to wait more. We got a great seat at the bar (they have other options for larger groups) in front of bartender Mike. He gave my sister good recommendations and was very patient with me as I combed my way through the famed extensive menu. Lesson learned: next time I need to preview the cocktail list AND not be shy to ask for recommendations!! I got the summer limited edition "Pinche Punche" crafted by Lawrence Broussard and the "Bramble" (1984/London) from the 1950-1990 "Dark Ages" era section. My sister got the "Chrysanthemum" (1916/New York) from 1880-1919 "Turn of the Century" era and the "Jingu Bang" from the House Creations section. I loved the Pinche Punche and Jingu Bang, the other two felt much stronger for my taste preference! Their popcorn is crazy good and perfect side bite to their cocktails & it was fun to experience a small show/demo from another bartender who was mixing a drink. read more

Shana and I came here for the first time before Weird Al, the place is very, very nice. It has lighting and settings to keep people calm and relaxed, the bartenders are fantastic and know a ton, they are willing to talk about the drinks and the menu. The wall behind the bar has a huge menu of famous or popular drinks listed by era's which is great and very cool. From Prohibition to the dark ages. They have the title and the years, it is very cool. They have a QR code menu with other popular and standard drinks as well as their own creations and even their variations on classics. The place is nice and Shana was impressed with how clean it was and the bathrooms had signs stating to use the one that matches your chosen gender. Very cool. Shana even complimented them on that. I had their old fashioned and Shana had a Jingu Bang, of which I have a few pictures of, both were very good. They even have the ice cube RR branded. A fun touch. They mix the drinks right there and have a very nice set up with each station having everything you need to make the cocktails right there. It was interesting to see them work. We were not here long as we had a show to get to but we will be back, it was a nice place. We didn't get any food so not sure how that is but the drinks and staff are amazing. We couldn't stay long and we don't get downtown much but we do want to return. read more

HAPPY (early) VALENTINES DAY to us~ This was better than I ever thought...I ADORE YASSSSSADORE a speakeasy and the Roosevelt Room is the BESTEST EVER~ and living in Las Vegas for 10+years I have visited many. The #1 reason, authentic bartender knowledge ~ the specialized cocktail list here is gargantuan ( check out my pix, and that's not all of it ) #2 reason ~ bartending hospitality 101, this day there were 2, both friendly, both not obtrusive, both timely checking in without being pushy, both like what they're doing (iykyk) #3 reason ~ the FOOD, limited options on the both menus , the catch here? It's all good and while mixed nuts & popcorn might seem lame, I dare your not to enjoy theirs the mixed nuts (pecans, almonds & cashews) coated in a sweet, slightly spicy, a lil sticky topping (?) not sure what else to call it, and the serving for 2 pp was generous if I was part larger group I'd fighting for that last one The fresh popped Sumac & Black Pepper ~ tasty without being overtly salty then a touch of garlic oil~ chef's kiss Lastly we ordered the Grilled Cheese substituted salad for the chips (a great decision on our part!) toasted with that perfect first bite crunch then the warm melted cheese on your tongue YUMMMM, making my mouth water just talking about it. BTW! the salad....fresh mixture of greens with a light creamy, a bit sweet dressing worked nicely together with the grilled cheese. OK! Let's talk cocktails shall we Do yourself a favor IF you know you going to the Roosevelt Room check the website for ALL the cocktail options otherwise you could get easily overwhelmed and just order your normal everyday cocktail, this is a waste of your time here the cocktails are listed on the wall by era ( something you won't remember but it's good to know ) We started with the Clover Club & their Classic Martini ~ we were sitting at the bar directly in front of where the bartender is working watching this process was terrific from the glass choices to the skewering the olives both appeared Slightly frosted glasses with beautiful long slims containing absolute deliciousness. Our appetizers of nuts & popcorn excellent accompaniments. Next round for me is the Milk Punch, found that I really like the while in New Orleans~ this version is a bit different not as milky, more floral, more spice and served in a glass shaped mini milk carton equally tasty just different than the NOLA version. We did finish with dessert, spiced vanilla ice cream. The menu gives you 3 topping options I asked if anything chocolate could be substituted? He thought for a moment said yes, showed the (I have a pic of this with my review) bottle, made a brief description and we were in! Wonderful suggestion (again Bartending 101) plus recommended where we could buy it. We live here and will definitely be back, if your in the ATX add this to your MUST DO ~ MUST GO LIST, I would suggest making a reservation or go early and take advantage of the Roosevelt Room Happy Hour read more

Rating: 4/5 [dine in] 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. read more

We visited The Roosevelt Room and left thoroughly impressed. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a wall showcasing their numerous awards--and trust me, the drinks live up to the reputation. I wasn't drinking alcohol that night, but my husband and our friends ordered several of their most popular cocktails. Not only were the drinks beautifully crafted and flavorful, but each one came with a touch of performance that made the experience even more memorable. The bartenders clearly take their craft seriously and it shows in every pour. Our server seemed a bit impatient with us--even though we understood the place was busy, he spent noticeably more time with other tables. It was hard not to wonder if it had something to do with us being the only Asian guests in the bar at the time. If you're into elevated cocktails and a lively, upscale bar atmosphere, The Roosevelt Room should be on your list. read more
