“Celebrated Halloween here and it was such a friendly, fun vibe.”
Celebrated Halloween here and it was such a friendly, fun vibe. They held a costume contest, hosted by Thorgy Thor that was super entertaining. Cover was $15/person. Space was large with multiple bars, including an outdoor area with tables/seats.

We had the best time during drag brunch while visiting from Arizona, everyone was so welcoming & ate it up with the performances!! Our server Carlos was the BEST, and there couldn’t have been a better host than Batty Davis, she definitely set the vibes for a fun time!🩷

Roscoe’s nails the neighborhood bar vibe—welcoming staff, upbeat crowd, and a space that walks the line between casual hangout and polished service. But let’s cut to the highlight: the Blackberry Sidecar. Hands down, this cocktail is the showstopper. Perfectly balanced—smooth, just the right amount of tart, and not overly sweet. You can tell it’s crafted with intention, not just thrown together. If you’re into cocktails that hit with flavor and class, this one alone is worth the visit.

“I love love love, did i say love? I LOVE ROSCOES .”
I love love love, did i say love? I LOVE ROSCOES ! first of all, i was able to meet the lovely banana 🍌 queen Nymphia Wind (she’s a pleasure) thanks to Roscoes i was able to meet one of my favorite drag queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race! the viewing party and Friday Night Lights are an absolute MUST to go to!! it gets very crazy but everything about these events are absolutely worth it !! and can i just say the food is absolutely delicious, and drinks are so refreshing here. Roscoes is my go to for a lovely night out! It does get expensive during these big events so just know you’ll have to pay a door fee, but for a regular good time at the bar is also a must ✨ thank you Roscoes Tavern !

“We went for the early dinner.”
We went for the early dinner. We had the watermelon salad and the gouda burger. Both were outstanding! The burger had a savory sweetness to it. So good. The side of fries come seasoned and don't need anything else as they are perfect.

Fun place! We watched the new episode of rupaul's drag race, we saw a Q&A with Megami and even met her and bought her a drink. The drinks were great, bartenders were nice, and the loaded fries are amazing and a great sharable size.

“Had an amazing Friday Night Lights with my friends at Roscoe’s.”
Had an amazing Friday Night Lights with my friends at Roscoe’s. We got amazing last minute seats to sit in the front row and got to chat with the awesome Naysha Lopez during breaks from the streaming of season 16 of Rupaul’s Drag Race . The service was super quick and friendly. Also super spacious and clean. Would love to come back and try the food.
