The Roosevelt Bar is an excellent place to grab a drink and unwind after a long day or after dining out. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting with a mix of turn of the century feel with the brick walls but a motif of Moose, Bear, and Elk décor, and burl wood tables in the booths with dim lighting.

Read moreThis place became an instant favorite just walking in! Such an awesome bar. Great booths to sit in, amazing drinks, and the bartender is awesome.
They also have a food truck out back too. Food takes a bit long to get, but if you're not in a hurry, it's worth the wait. They give you a buzzer, so you can still wait inside at your booth.
If you've ever been to Whiskey Bar downtown, this place had a similar vibe and style, but drinks are half the price! Even better!
Edit, late 2022: Still loving this place. A great chill place to spend some time with friends. Bartenders are great. And the vibe is awesome....
