"Everyone who went through a brief mixology phase—remember when you spent a few weeks trying to craft the perfect old fashioned?—should just head to The Roosevelt Room to see how it’s done. The drink menu is split into time periods, spanning the pre-1880s to the modern day. The whole thing doubles as a history lesson, but instead of getting quizzed at the end, a bartender swipes your credit card and hands you a perfectly made beverage. This is where you go when you want to experience cocktails the way they were meant to be enjoyed, in a dark and intimate setting." - nicolai mccrary
