An upscale cocktail bar and lounge is moving into Norwood this winter.
4EG, which owns restaurants and bars across Greater Cincinnati like Rosedale, Killer Queen and Mac Shack, announced this week that it will open its upscale cocktail bar concept, The Roosevelt Room, in The Rookwood Exchange. The bar will be located in Suite 107 at 3825 Edwards Road, formerly the site of Mayweather Boxing, and this will be its third location, following Liberty Township and Dublin, Ohio.
“We’ve had our sights set on the Rookwood development for a long time, and we’re thrilled to bring a concept that is known and loved by many to The Rookwood Exchange. We’re confident The Roosevelt Room will create a unique experience for our neighbors in Norwood, Hyde Park, Oakley and surrounding areas,” Bob Deck, 4EG managing partner, said in a press release.
Construction on the space began in early September. The Roosevelt Room’s concept is inspired by the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, and will feature a color palette of dark green, blue and gold; a custom wooden bar top; a gold-mounted moose; and a rose-gold disco ball. There will be open table and bar seating and an outdoor patio, as well as a private room for events.
The full-service bar will feature rotating draft beer and wine; an extensive selection of craft beer, seltzers and spirits; and handcrafted signature cocktails. The cocktail menu includes drinks like “Speak Softly” (Lillet rosé, champagne and strawberry), “Big Stick” (Old Forester Straight Bourbon, Vida Mezcal Rinse, Carpano Antica Vermouth, 1821 Barrel-Aged Bitters and a bourbon-soaked smoked wood chip) and “The Naturalist” (Ketel One Botanicals Cucumber and Mint Vodka, mint-infused simple syrup, lime juice, pomegranate juice and soda).
The Roosevelt Room at The Rookwood Exchange is expected to open in February 2025. You can visit its other Greater Cincinnati location at 7500 Bales St., Liberty Township in Liberty Center, or learn more at therooseveltroomoh.com.
