    Noisy, slow. Used to be super cool and bartenders put on a show. Now they are slow and rude. The place is showing its age and not continuing to innovate. For the prices, meh, there’s other cool places to go where the service is better. The drinks are incredible but overall the value isn’t there anymore.

    I took my husband here as one of the stops on our surprise date night that I planned for us. It ended up being one of our favorite stops of the night. We loved the “great gatsby” vibe and REALLY enjoyed the cocktail menu. I enjoyed that they sectioned off their drinks based on the era and really knocked the classic cocktails out of the park. If you are in Austin and looking for a fantastic cocktail bar, this is the place to go!

    Great drinks and incredible service, however, food was slightly disappointing and lacked flavor. We had a large party and sat in one of the large booths, but it was very crammed which made the experience slightly less enjoyable. Would come back but just for drinks and with a smaller group.

    My boyfriend and I went to the Roosevelt Room because we were in from out of town and the reviews were great. It is a nice bar and the bartenders are very knowledgeable, but we were sitting by the owner and his partner who were testing out drinks to make new ones for the menu, which is great. The issue I did have was that the bartender (who was amazing) was catering to the owner and we were then the after thought. I'd recommend doing tastings and such on off time or away from customers because it took away from the experience. Or if you are going to waste 10 drinks, at least involve your customers. It all felt really uncomfortable.

    Drinks were phenomenal! Great ambiance and very attentive service. One thing is they do put a cap on the length of the reservation so plan accordingly, we had gotten a round and then were given our checks promptly afterwards not realizing we had a time limit.
