The Spare Room
The Roosevelt Hotel is famous for being haunted, but now it's ready to be your regular haunt thanks to Spare Room. This sleek cocktail lounge/bowling alley stepped up its drink game with the addition of award-winning beverage director Yael Vengroff, who's crafting a menu full of welcome surprises, including a Salt & Vinegar Martini (served with dill potato chips), and a pandan leaf-adorned Lucky Smoke, mixed with Japanese whiskey, rum, banana liqueur, and vanilla.
Featured In
It should come as no surprise that the luxurious, loungey bar with the vintage bowling alleys is deeply invested in making sure you have a good time as a group. Aside from the stylish and competitive gaming, they have a whole set of shareable cocktails in sizes designed to serve anywhere from four to 20 thirsty revelers. The options are mostly focused on punch bowls, complex and layered drinks like Babylon is a Vampire, with rum, vermouth, cinnamon, sparkling pineapple wine, and lime. They also have one large-format stirred cocktail, only available in the 8-10 person size, called the Cielo Drive, a spirit-forward blend of whiskey, vermouth, bitters, yellow chartreuse, cassia tincture, and grapefruit oil.
