What People Are Saying About Tropicana Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel
The Editor

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.

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.

Let's face it, it is all about the crowd. Not everyday or night is created equal. I used to enjoy the Sunday circus at the rosie pool, but lately it is not a very high class crowd. A lot of plastic surgery and guys that make me feel cheap. I end up feeling like I am drowning in a sea of strippers. However, Thursday nights are great! David and David usually put together a good crowd.

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.
