What People Are Saying About Roost

The Scene
The jukebox is a little bit country, but so is the decor--think wagon wheels, fake wood paneling and walls lined with empty bottles of booze. At the porch-style bar, drinks flow from the skilled hands of a barkeep who bears a striking resemblance to Fran Drescher. Nab a free bag of popcorn and cozy up in a red vinyl booth or one of the tables next to the bar. Pile large drink orders on one of the round serving trays to avoid spillage in transit.
The Draw
Area workers pop in to toss back a few after a long day on the job, and they sometimes get to control the television set if there's a big game on. After 11pm, this small crowd gives way to a press of young musicians and artists, but the low-key atmosphere mitigates the possibility that the Roost will ever get too trendy.

The area in which the Roost is located is great. You can jump around to the other few bars that are on the street and the popcorn compliments any beer. They don't take cards which sucks but the downbeat vibe and the great jukebox make up for it.

Been there a couple times, the asian lady bartenders were dope, they were awesome. Very nice people, their drinks are the best value in town. Great atmosphere, loving it. I'm digging this place. Definately would go back again.

While this place isnt for everyone. It can is definitely a dive bar in the true sense. The drinks are strong and cheap. Bartenders are great and the popcorn taste better than most movie theater popcorn. Plus its free. Juke box isnt the best. Plays a lot of old country but every now and then a good ole Neil Diamond song will make up for it. So the music isnt great but for some reason my friends and I always go back for more.
