  • Man, I've really given The Roosevelt a chance, having been here oh, 25 or so times since its opened. Its withing walking distance from where i live, yet i wouldn't find myself there as a local in need of a beer -- either alone OR with a group less than 4. This place is tragically drab. Although the historical house is beautifully and creatively restored, the inside is cloaked in gray paint and the furniture arrangement is awkward. In the middle room, if you don't get the only table, then you are sitting side-by-side with your company in a dark room staring off into gray walls. If you sit in the side/front room, you have to sit on a cushioned square. Who wants to drink wine on that and feel a semblance of sophistication? I know i personally can't pull that off. The back room is completely dominated by two things. A long wooden (read: boring) community table and a halogen light that could probably double as an x-ray for skeletal lamping. Their back patio is now serving as the unofficial "smoking patio", although Matt has yet to receive the permits from the city (and i'm SURE its the city dragging arse) to allow alcohol back there. This place monstrously needs a back patio. Ok, so concerning the alcohol ... This is what raises its star-level. The House Ale is some of the best local-brew i've ever had. Seattle/Portland/Vancouver-good. And, of course, the gimmicky cold-ness of their drafts are pretty neat-o, particularly in the summer. However, this place isn't open during the day (until 5pm, i beleive), which kind of defeats the point of a frosty pint at day-drinking hours. Three things to help improve this place: 1) Spice up the color, for Pete's sake. Anything but gray. 2) Open before 5 or 4 or whatever time you open. Its too late. Especially during baseball season. 3) Change the mix cd! Jesus, i LOVE radiohead, but enough's enough! OK computer does not need to be on all the time to increase your scene-kid cool points. The Roosevelt could use some cool tunes, and dare you venture into a Jazz night? It kinda fits into your scheme. Anyway, as much as i'm bitching about this, its only bc i want this place to succeed and it has the foundation to be someplace VERY cool as a 'Local Haunt' or as an 'All-Night, Only-Stop' bar.
