The Roosevelt Room

About

A cocktail bar with a 200-bottle whiskey wall running a daily happy hour is not normal, and The Roosevelt Room knows it. Every day from 3 to 6pm: a dedicated list of classic cocktails at $9 each, think Old Fashioned, Margarita, Paper Plane, Penicillin, plus $2 off wines by the glass, $1 off beer, and 20% off bottles of still and sparkling wine.

Nine dollars for cocktails of this caliber is the headline. This is one of the most decorated bars in Texas, the kind of place where the ice program has opinions, and the happy hour classics are made with the same precision as the $18 list. The food discounts stack neatly: $2 off large fare, $1 off small fare and even the desserts.

The daily schedule is what makes it dependable. Saturday at 3pm works the same as Tuesday. The Roosevelt Room happy hour draws cocktail nerds getting in before the evening crowd and Warehouse District workers who've decided the good bar can also be the cheap one. Sit at the rail and watch the work happen.
