I have to admit, that I was initially going to give this place a bad rating. Then I realized I shouldn't take out my personal angst on a bar. How does The Roosevelt play in to my personal angst? I show up to meet my friends for First Friday and it hits me..... I will be meeting up with 3 couples. Effing fantastic. I arrive and walk in and see more friends. "Great!" I think. "It isn't just me and three couples!" Upon further inspection, I realize it is now me and SIX couples. Effing fantastic. So I wandered, attempting to find single men to harass (Note to the reader: I actually don't have flirting skills, so this normally just results in me asking ex-cons if their pony tail is real or a clip on). I didn't find any (single men...or even prisoners). I DID find a former student and a kid I did research with - so I talked to them before returning to my friends, where I was duly ignored.... until I accidentally broke a glass. I left, embarassed and still completely alone. The moral of this relatively useless review is: The Roosevelt beer selection = good. The Roosevelt as a place to forget your angst and meet cool new people = not that good. The Roosevelt as a place to harass former prisoners = terrible (go to the Bikini Lounge if that is an experience that interests you).
