Private Dining
Gather Around the Table
At The Roosevelt, our private dining rooms in Kings Cross and Potts Point offer the same art-deco atmosphere and precision cocktails as the main bar - just a little more removed from it.

The Roosevelt Story
An Icon of Kings Cross
The Roosevelt first opened its doors in 1943, becoming a favourite haunt of American servicemen and their Australian dates. By 1947, it had become Abe Saffron’s first nightclub, bringing the glamour and excitement of New York and Las Vegas to Kings Cross and welcoming legendary performers including Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.
Reopened in 2012, The Roosevelt pays homage to this colourful past, recreating the atmosphere of a bygone era through great food, unforgettable drinks and late-night hospitality in the heart of Potts Point.
