    Ordered popcorn - was a little stale, flavor was there. First few drinks were very small.. ordered a second round and those were a lot bigger. Tasty, but very pricey considering what you get. Service was not up to par. Didn’t explain drinks and was attentive, but not very friendly or personable and didn’t help much with menu. I expected a lot more for this place than I got.

    Our Server, Tomas, was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Great ambiance and the cocktails quality overall matched the price. We did feel like the appetizers were overpriced. Would not order the chocolate pretzels or popcorn again. The meat and cheese charcuterie board was the best way to go if you want some food to nibble on. Overall great experience and we will definitely go back.

    The bartender was awful - the rudest individual I've personally encountered in the service business. He accused my friend of being intoxicated after he asked if wearing a leather apron was hot/uncomfortable. I'm not sure if he misheard my friend's question but he was clearly offended so we attempted to apologize for the misunderstanding. At that point the bartender said my friend was being argumentative while slurring his words, which was completely false. We were both sober when we entered the bar. The bartender refused to serve us saying we were intoxicated, which again was false and insulting. We promptly left and enjoyed a drink elsewhere. I will never return to Roosevelt Room. If you plan to go, be warned to keep your mouth shut when ordering drinks - simply say what you want and stop talking.

    Roosevelt Room review, as someone who has been to many bars around the world. The worst service was from a bartender named Kay, she made you feel like you needed to leave and was very cold, but I will say Brandon also a bartender/mixologist at the Roosevelt Room was the best. Brandon engaged with the customer/patron and was great.

    We found the Roosevelt Room to be a very friendly lounge. Ryan was our bartender and he was fantastic. He has great knowledge of the ingredients that they use to make their crafted cocktails. Very personable and explained how he was crafting the various cocktails individuals ordered. Food was excellent as was the service. We will frequent the Roosevelt Room the next time we are in Austin.

    The Roosevelt Room is a great bar to catch up with family and friends over delicious well-made drinks! Our group ordered off of the season cocktails and the classics - all were wonderful. Definitely will be going back and recommend to anyone in downtown Austin needing a cozy bar to grab a drink. Highly encourage reservations!

    What happens here probably doesn't happen anywhere else in town. There are some competitors but in terms of complication and format size, I draw a blank thinking of somewhere in town that the bartenders would be required to understand more, know more recipes and make more cocktails at the highest level.

    We had a fantastic experience, we actually went twice on our visit. The bar is beautiful inside, moody and dark but comfortable. First time we had a booth, second time we sat at the bar - which I’d really recommend. The drinks were fantastic with beautiful presentation, the glasses used even were fabulous. The staff were really knowledgeable and friendly, and suggested a couple of great cocktails based on our tastes. We also had a cheese/charcuterie board which was really good.
