Tropicana Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel

What People Are Saying About Tropicana Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel
The Editor
Randi Schmelzer
Citysearch
In Short – Designer Dodd Mitchell (Dolce, the Lodge) and "lifestyle producer" Amanda Scheer Demme have transformed the Roosevelt's patio bar into a Mid-Century Modern urban oasis. Surrounded by palm trees and private bungalows, industry hotshots and artist types recline on linen-covered chaise lounges; wearing $300 jeans and flip-flops, they absorb the '50s Palm Springs-meets-A-list Hollywood vibe, cocktails in hand. Amid the glass-and-chrome decor, one highlight of the former space remains perfectly intact: the swimming pool's underwater David Hockney mural.
devil woman wprking the door

I am Senior Editor of a music and nightclub magazine and was sent out on assignment to this place to write a review for the august issue-I came alone, dressed in a cute mini dress with my CL heels and was literally ignored by the devil woman, Sarah, working the door. Each attempt to get her attention was rudely brushed off, yet she let hoards of guys in with no problem. It was only when a friend of mine who happened to be there came out to get me that she actually said to me "oh why didnt you just say you were with him?" I have never, in my 6 years of reviewing clubs have ever had such door drama! Once inside, it was obvious they werent at capacity and she was just on her door power trip. The place itself is laid-back and really fun, but the door service is so poor I dont see myself ever going back or advising others to do so. Oh and she also works the door at Teddy's-and did the exact same thing there. I know they have a job to do but her attitude is so high and mighty that it totally turned me off to the whole experience-I guess the lesson here is: better be careful who you are rude to, because you never know who they are or who they are working for!
- Pros: chill, fun atmosphere
- Cons: ridiculous door drama

Tropicana Night Life
by theclubcritic at Citysearch
OK So It was a very nice crowd when I went. It was a Wednesday night and I think it was a Jay -Z after party or something like that,
The POP's were EVERY WHERE!!! L.L. was there with her gal pal who was DJing that night, and many more Celeb's I actually went by myself and met some friends there but I had NO Problem getting in.
You must know that the Tropicana is apart of the Roosevelt hotel so you might see someone who is very casually dressed and looking like what?s going on. This might be a guest. But there are a lot of good looking girls and guys, and getting in is No problem, no need to buy a table, NO ridiculous cover, there is a more private VIP section upstairs. I went on a less crowded night and I must say the staff is GREAT!!! They are really nice. This is one of the very very very very VERY (Maybe the only one) few places that you can call and someone will pick up the phone and give you info.
I must say that there is also a very nice pool area and a great place to go TAN and meet new people and make new friend. ALOT of my frinds go to the pool in the day.
- Pros: Great Staff, NO hassel getting in
- Cons: Let me think of some I'll get back to you on this one
The Details on Tropicana Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel
When to Go:
Skip the nighttime glamourista crowd. The bar, which also offers a light food menu, is ideal for sunny weekday afternoons.
Look Good:
Those who prefer more lair-like cocktail spots should opt for the hotel's Dodd-Demme-designed indoor lounge, Teddy's.
The Extras:
First opened in the 1940s, the Trop is more than just a hipster haunt: It's also said to host spirits of the supernatural variety. Be on the lookout for former hotel guests Errol Flynn, Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift.
