Sunday, September 27, 2026, 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM · The Roosevelt Room, Downtown Austin, Austin
The Roosevelt Room's Bartending Master Class Series tastes through 14 liqueurs, cordials, bitters, amari and fortified wines with two cocktails and hors d'oeuvres included. Guests also get guided instruction on nosing and tasting spirits properly.
An award-heavy downtown cocktail bar built around full-table service, elaborate presentations, and a menu dense enough to require actual reading time before ordering. Drinks arrive with full theatrical commitment, the Black Pearl in a clove-smoked treasure chest, the Cigar Box balanced on an ashtray with a flamed cinnamon stick. Inside a sprawling industrial-style space with a mezzanine, stage, and weekend dance floor upstairs.
