Rosewood Bar - Review - Midtown Village - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Rosewood is the kind of place where they have Death Becomes Her playing nonstop on the gold framed TVs while Aaliyah plays in the background. They share a wall with Woody’s, so you can easily transition between both scenes. Rosewood is much more chill than Woody’s, though, with flowing couches, chandeliers, and deep leather booths. The drink menu is full of things like passion fruit and peach bellinis, Thai chili margaritas, and their version of an Old Fashioned that includes bourbon and cognac. While it looks like just another trendy bar, it’s actually a place where anything can happen—whether that’s staring at Meryl Streep for four hours straight or making a bunch of new friends with people who are doing the same." - Candis R. McLean

Seems to be a quaint town, with a high income per capita. But if you have the bad luck of being a temporary love interest for a main character -- watch out. Also, went to the dentist and ended up with a secret threatening message in my teeth. Not cool. Had a drink at the radley... suddenly found myself in a coffin with a dead cop. Talk about bad service!

My friends and I stopped by here on a night out for a Bachelorette party. The music and crowd were great. It wasn't so crowded that you couldn't move but we also weren't the only people in the bar. Drinks are reasonably priced and the bathroom was surprisingly clean. Rosewood is connected to Woody's so it's great to hop between the bars (and upstairs dance floor) if you're looking for a different vibe for the night. My biggest complaint was the security guard, who either wasn't paying attention or was new to the job. I walked a friend out to her Uber (in front of the bar and in plain sight of the doorman) and when I turned around to come back in, he made me wait on line, present my ID again and went through my bag. Not a big deal but felt a little weird and excessive.

Came here with a group of friends for drinks last Saturday night. Opened up a tab and the bartender took my credit card and ID to hold onto. After the first round we ended up wandering over to Woody's for some dancing. I accidentally forgot to close my tab and retrieve my credit card and ID before we left Woody's. I didn't realize this til the following morning when I went to use my credit card. When I stopped in a few days later to pick them up, I was told neither could be found!! Yes, I know it's my fault for forgetting to close my tab and leaving my card and ID with you, but to lose/misplace them?!? That's just plain incompetence! A customer shouldn't have to worry about a bartender/establishment losing their credit cards/IDs when you take them to hold a tab open! I'm 100% sure it's there somewhere, as this was the only place I used my card that night and they charged the amount of my tab to the card the following day. Ridiculous and unacceptable, Rosewood. You can do better...

Some coworker friends and I having an impromptu bar hop in search of cheap drinks and good dancing and it was recommended to us that we try out Rosewood. I had actually never heard of it but felt the recommendation was trust-worthy so we went. The bouncer was kind of over the top. "You know your ID is expired, right?" he said. "You know that doesn't change the fact that I'm clearly 28, right?" I replied. He let me in but for such a tiny little bar it was a lot of unnecessary hoopla. I was really confused because our friend had mentioned Woody's in reference to Rosewood and then when we went in there I saw drink specials for Woody's. I was very confused. There was a small dance floor (I'll return to the dancing momentarily) but in the distance I saw a sign that said "Dance floor upstairs." Since the dancefloor downstairs was so small we grabbed our drinks and started heading upstairs. All of a sudden I looked around and we were IN Woody's! It was a total mindf*ck. I felt like we passed into an alternate reality. I had no idea that Woody's was connected to another bar. It was a $10 cover to go to the upstairs dance floor so we opted to stay at Rosewood. Drinks were overpriced which was disappointing and they didn't sell any ciders, which is what I really wanted. The crowd was mostly female with a guy here or there. The vibe was decently friendly. Some of the girls let my male coworker dance with their group which was cute. The dance floor is a weird set up because it doesn't really exist. People just gather to dance in a rather compact walkway near the DJ booth. I usually like to be able to get up on something like a stage or a speaker when Beyonce came on, but there was nothing of the sort. In fact we were kind of smooshed in by a bunch of security guys in a corner. I will say that the music was quite good. A lot of throwback '90s hip hop and R&B like Mariah Carey and Salt N Pepa. If there was an actual dance floor area I would have really enjoyed dancing there.

I came here with a group of friends for a birthday celebratory drink. The specialty martini was unique but a bit overpriced. Also, a friend of mine was accosted by security after using the restroom. Apparently, the security guard thought he was smoking pot in the bathroom! He tried to explain that he didn't even have anything on him, but security still forced him to leave. Yes, my friend is a black male with dreads who just happened to be wearing a Bob Marley t-shirt - profiling much??? Needless to say, we all left after the incident. The bar took a loss that evening; all because of wild assumptions on the part of security. I would be surprised if this place stays open until the end of the year. Pass!

The bouncers and ropes are beyond ridiculous. Good selection, but not enough to make up for surly bartenders and a 50% premium on prices charged by every other bar in the gayborhood.

Inside Woody's. Pretty dead and nothing special. Music was fun. The decor was a cross between 90's gangsta rap and Fox's hit series 'Empire'.

The security thug at the door is a pain to deal with. He needs to go. The bartenders take a lot of shortcuts when preparing drinks, which is a shame given the price. They refuse to serve off the cocktail list when it's busy, so essentially your options are what you would get at woodys (at a higher price, of course). Love the interior, but that's not enough reason to go back.

Most wonderful people here. My daughters apartment building caught fire tonight and the folks here are providing food and drink for the displaced tenants and their pets. And the place is absolutely charming! Will definitely come back under less stressful circumstances.

Walked in for a quick drink while roaming the areas. They have a great HH special. I ordered an old fashion and it was good. It is a bit pricey though, drinks are $12-$15 each.

I admit I have not had drink at this bar, but I can tell you the management is wonderful. My apartment building had a fire and the kind people here opened up their establishment to those who had been evacuated by the fire and provided us with a cool place to wait, along with water and pizza and soda. I will definitely be going there in the future. Thank you Jay.

I love this place! Drinks are totally worth the money (I had two and I was done for the night) and the vibe is great! I went on a Friday night, and it wasn't too crowded when we got there around 11. This was the perfect time to arrive. We got a small booth near the bar. Everyone was super friendly, and I had a great night.

Had good mojitos and excellent food at happy hour a few months back. Interior is super sharp-great high tech but black and white video. I'm mixed on the rope/doorman. Are they trying to be "exclusive" or to just offer a secure experience for patrons on a street w some semi-rough street people. I like this place. It feels urban-chic and it's a good feeling in a city with so many dive/trashy bars. Let the internet crowd learn the ins and outs of a piss elegant gay bar. I'm favorable toward Rosewood. Sets the "bar" a bit higher than average.

Came during their second ever brunch service, & due to overwhelming response things ran a little slower than expected. However, things were more than made up for by the wait staff & manager, whom went above & beyond their jobs to make sure we left satisfied & happy costumers. The food was delicious & the drinks even better. I can't over recommend the Honeydew Bellini; tastes like a fresh slice of summer. Martin & Reggie, two of the staff members who's name I recall, are without a doubt a reason to return, though please don't let that give the impression the rest of the staff wasn't equally a pleasure. Overall a great place to wine & dine with a very modern & appealing interior.
