The Roger Room: LA’s Iconic Award-Winning Craft Cocktail Destination
The Roger Room has earned its status as Los Angeles’ iconic award-winning craft cocktail bar through unwavering commitment to quality ingredients, expert technique, and cocktail innovation that honors classic traditions while embracing contemporary creativity.
Located in West Hollywood—LA’s epicenter of nightlife, dining, and LGBTQ+ culture—The Roger Room occupies unique space in the city’s cocktail landscape. It’s simultaneously upscale enough for special occasions and celebrity sightings, yet welcoming enough for regular neighborhood visits. The atmosphere balances sophistication with approachability, creating environment where serious cocktail enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike feel comfortable.
The bar’s motto—“The best of everything, nothing but the best”—isn’t marketing hyperbole; it’s operational philosophy reflected in every aspect from spirit selection to ice quality to glassware choices. When bartenders create new seasonal menus, this commitment ensures they’re not simply swapping vodka for whiskey or adding pumpkin spice to standard recipes. They’re reimagining what seasonal cocktails can be when constrained only by imagination and ingredient quality rather than budget or complexity.
For upscale audiences throughout Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and Santa Monica who’ve watched craft cocktail culture evolve from novelty to standard expectation, The Roger Room represents the mature phase of cocktail evolution—where technique is assumed, creativity is expected, and only genuinely exceptional drinks justify menu placement

The Alcan Road – $16
Rittenhouse Rye, Yellow Chartreuse, Cynar, Lemon Twist

Before prohibition, Rye was America’s favorite whiskey. The Alcan Highway is the only road to Alaska. Combine them both and you are destined for a trip that is light on the tongue with a long finish.
Smokey & The Bandit – $16
Ilegal Mezcal, Lime, Allspice, Orange, Vanilla, Cinnamon
Created by Danny Vasquez
Illegal Mezcal is a 100% agave Espadin with varietal notes of sweet and spicy peppers, balanced by grapefruit, pineapple and blood orange. A deep smoke and gentle burn make it the perfect cocktail ingredient. Add a few distinct flavors and you are definitely getting away with something.
Chai Whiskey Sour – $17
Buffalo Trace, Chai Tea, Lemon, Egg White, Cinnamon, Star Anise
Created by Danny Vasquez
Balance is the key to a perfect whiskey sour and this fresh take softens the sour edge with a gentle chai foam, with hints of liquorice and cinnamon.
Available now through December
Fall in Los Angeles: The Best Season for Cocktails
The Roger Room bartenders correctly identify fall as “perhaps the best season in Los Angeles”—a period when oppressive summer heat yields to perfect 70-80 degree days and cool evenings, outdoor patios become comfortable again, and seasonal ingredients inspire creativity without the heavy-handed pumpkin spice ubiquity that dominates other regions.
These five cocktails capture that transitional moment: sophisticated enough for cooler weather, not so heavy that they feel inappropriate on warm afternoons, incorporating fall spices and warming spirits without abandoning the bright, fresh flavors that make LA drinking culture distinctive.
For upscale audiences throughout West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica who treat cocktail bars as social destinations and seasonal menu releases as events worth attending, The Roger Room’s fall offerings provide reasons to return repeatedly—trying each cocktail, comparing favorites, and experiencing how different drinks suit different moods and occasions.
