"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
"When you want to try classic cocktails from any era, head to The Roosevelt Room downtown. Here, the menu is broken up into time periods, spanning everything from the pre-1880s to modern times. And while the bar does have plenty of its own inventions, this is one of the best places to try classic cocktails as they were meant to be enjoyed. It’s dark inside, with an open, industrial space that feels surprisingly intimate." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"Nerd out over the downtown cocktail bar’s sprawling cocktail menu, which lists drinks by era, from pre-1880 to the present. Bartenders are precisely trained and have an encyclopedic knowledge of booze. Try the famed house cocktail Poet’s Muse, a gin-based citrusy drink. Drinks are also available to go, but you’ll miss out on chatting with bartenders and big, comfy booths." - Erin Russell
"Drink through the decades at this swanky Fifth Street cocktail bar with a menu that runs through some of the most classic cocktails of all time, broken out by era, from pre-1880 to present day. Or, go for innovative modern concoctions, like Run the Jules (Takara Rice Shochu, Jameson Caskmates IPA edition, mint, tarragon, cinnamon syrup, verjus, and shiso furikake flakes). Open until midnight on Sundays." - Darcie Duttweiler
"The experts at the essential downtown cocktail bar offer zero-proof varieties as well, like the Na’groni with zero-proof gin and Giffard Bitter Aperitif sirop or the Castaway, a tropical concoction with mint, cream of coconut, lime, and ginger beer. There are indoor dine-in services." - Erin Russell
