In Short
With its noisy crowd and ample display of young male bravado, this pub's attitude somehow approximates the exuberance of its namesake, our twenty-sixth president. Photos of Teddy decorate the walls, as do several televisions for sports viewing. Most weeknights find the bar filled with students and a few locals out for suds and bar eats. It's best not to be in a hurry to get back to the office, as the food service is not the fastest in the city.

This isn't the most classy of places but I've had some of the most fun at this place during college. With great happy hour specials for food and drinks and quick and attentive service, my friends and I were regulars at this place. I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a fun evening!

For $5 on Friday(used to be Mon-Fri) you can get beer on tap and well drinks. The food has improved over the years, will be going tomorrow!!! Happy Weekend!

Probably one of the worst experiences i have had in Philadelphia. The bartenders were beyond slow, obviously catering to friends despite generous tips. Door staff was ornery and questioned my current ID which indicated that I am 25, a $5 bribe was required to get my 23 year old girlfriend in because she looks young. After all of this we were treated rudely by both the bartenders and the staff during our visit. When my girlfriend ducked to put her sandals on an overzealous bouncer with disgustingly long hair and an inexplicable knit cap interpreted her behavior as inebriated and kicked us out. In a city with so much to offer, Roosevelt's was hands down my worst experience.

The Details on Roosevelts

When to Go:

From 5pm to 7pm weekday evenings for a $5 cover, Roosevelt's has penny well drinks and tap beer (sorry, no Guinness). Come Friday, the bar is packed with Penn students getting an early start on the weekend.

The Extras:

Tuesday and Thursday nights are host to rowdy Quizo play with a young and boisterous crowd competing for prizes and attention.

Know Before You Go:

The kitchen serves up robust amounts of bar standards like french fries, potato skins and burgers, while providing lighter fare such as charred tuna steak sandwiches and pasta salad. During the week business types and younger professionals stop in for lunch and a brew.
