The Spare Room, a cocktail lounge and gaming parlor inside The Hollywood Roosevelt, is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a new food and cocktail menu. The revamped cocktail menu launched Nov. 11, under the direction of new Beverage Director Jake Powell.
The Spare Room was founded by Call Mom Hospitality Group co-founders Med Abrous and Marc Rose. The Hollywood lounge features two vintage bowling lanes and custom games and was previously named Best American Hotel Bar at the Spirited Awards.

Among the new drinks is the Peppercorn Paloma, a twist on the classic Paloma. The cocktail combines tequila, grapefruit, lime and agave with a bittersweet aperitivo and peppercorn spice. The Garden Gimlet combines Roku Gin with Thai basil, green melon, lime and mint, while the Solo Date is a savory cocktail combining vodka, vermouth, truffle, celery and lemon.

Items include shareable beef tartare and steak frites with black garlic béarnaise and French fries. For dessert, the menu features a brookie that combines a white chocolate chip macadamia cookie with a brownie, topped with salted raspberry caramel.
The Spare Room’s 15th anniversary comes ahead of another milestone for The Hollywood Roosevelt, which is set to celebrate its 100th anniversary in May 2027. The lounge is located at 7000 Hollywood Blvd. and welcomes walk-ins, with reservations available for both the lounge and bowling.
