Teddy’s

Maybe my experience here was only so wonderful because the group I was with (a whole graduate school) had rented out the entire place, so we didn’t have to deal with annoying bouncers or long lines.
The bar itself is really beautiful and cozy — there are a lot of stone archways and private rooms/​coves right off the main room, so if you can snag one with some friends it’s perfect for taking a break in between dance songs. Speaking of dancing, it’s not a huge space, but of the space they do have, they’ve designated a good portion of it to be a dance floor, which is always appreciated.
Drinks weren’t anything special, but service was fast (considering there were like a billion of us crowding around).
This isn’t a place I’d come often (I’m definitely more of a dive bar girl), but I’ll be back if I ever feel like dressing up fancy and having a classy night out in Hollywood!

One of three places I like to go to at Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, I’ve had some great nights at Teddy’s. There are fun events/​parties throughout the week which was my favorite with odd days off.

Save yourself some butthurt, don’t come to Teddy’s if you are not willing to spend $ 350.00 on bottle service, which is one bottle for 4 people, or you know promoter or on the guest list. you might get let in, if you look hot, but a lot of ugly people think they are hot, and act like two year olds, having tantrums, talking trash to security and promoters, because they weren’t let in. really? The door people are rude? guess what, when you act like an ass, you get treated like one. I stood in line, and was embarrassed for the shameless, entitled jerks, who got rejected. kudos to security, you guys are saints, having to deal with all the abuse you do.
So have your money ready and have a good time, or be on the guest list, or go to the other bars, at the Roosevelt.

Oh Teddy’s. I first heard about this in the early aughts when Lindsay Lohan was in her partying prime and I read tabloid stories and hoped that I too could one day be part of Hollywood’s elite.
I managed to get in here thanks to a Crushee event and the door was really easy to get past. We had a table, so I was able to kick back and relax on the couches. The DJ was great. My biggest problem is the bar. I was charged $ 14 for a Jameson and ginger which isn’t that surprising since this is the Roosevelt and I’m used to their exorbitant alcohol pricing.
I guess I’m just over the club scene. This would have been cool when I was 21, but now that I’m used to imbibing in smaller, divier bars for much cheaper and so that I can actually hear my friends’ conversations without yelling, I’m not that excited about Teddy’s.

For a place that acts like it is high end, it was dead and filled with pretty low end trash. Starting with the idiot working the door named Eliza (or Elijah) who couldn’t even put together a sentence and explain to me why there was no line and it was empty at 12am. She has a job a mute could do and I was feeling sorry for her mostly due to her cheap Rite Aid makeup and her Marshall’s sale rack outfit.
I stopped feeling sorry for her when she copped an attitude and acted like she was the goddess of the nightclub scene. After watching her waive her «Homey» friend right in who looked like he slept in a dumpster last night, I knew that this was definitely not my type of place. Maybe it’s because I am used to Newport Beach/​CdM places that I wasn’t prepared to deal with some classless girl with an inferiority complex but this place has no flow, no class and it’s employees are not well trained or intelligent.
I will stick to the Library Bar when I stay at the Roosevelt Hotel.

First of all I came dressed to teddys in my Herve Leger and Chanel bag. I looked the part. My fiancé and I are staying at the Roosevelt in a $ 1000+ room. I was told by the spare room and Teddy’s that it was wait list only. Both establishments were rude and condescending. I will never stay at this hotel again. I was treated like trash by elisajah and the girl at spare room. If you are going for the «I let all my friends in and it’s cool vibe» you nailed it. I saw multiple people get the «hey babe» come right it hello. I will take my business to the sls, the standard and the peninsula before I ever step foot on this property again.

This club is a joke !! The Guy at the door had an attitude. The lady said you have to buy a bottle to get in and she would charge one bottle For 350.00 lol NO! There was no line outside just the workers and bad service. We went somewhere else.

Super «LA» vibe. Need to know the hot girl promoter at the door to get inside. Big bulgy security guards intimidate the hopefuls, while wannabe Hollywood pseudo celebrities concealed behind hipster/​rocker/​grungy/​douchey garbs drop fat wads on drinks and show off un-​earned wealth. While the crowd is entitled and coked up, the bartenders are rude and armored with an attitude. Can you blame them? Having to deal with douche bags all night?
They have valet parking. Street parking is hard to find. I don’t know if there is a cover. I went with a big shot celebrity producer and we were comped for everything. But it was tough for everyone else who was trying to get inside.
The dance-​floor is small, and people are smoking inside so you leave smelling like an ashtray.
Downstairs of the Roosevelt Hotel.
Skip Teddy’s go get a Burger at 25 Degrees instead!

good luck, make sure your promoter gives you an early time and escorts you in…
the more skin you show the better…

Hollywood douchebaggery at its best. Great looking crowd with the more-​than-​occasional A-​lister hanging out.
Packed ass-​to-​elbow with mediocre service and drinks, but hey, you’re there to be seen, right?

The best little club room in Hollywood.
Beautiful renovation. Props to Med and the team.
Service is good, but other than the bar, it’s just table (bottle) service. Don’t come here looking for mixologists in 20’s attire. If that’s what you’re after, go to the spare room or library bar, both in the Roosevelt.
Yes, it’s super tight at the door. Why? Because they like to keep a clean house. :)
If you can’t get in, go hang out in one of the other 4 great bars the hotel has to offer: The Spare Room, The Library Bar, Tropicana pool bar or Beachers Mad House.
The Roosevelt is the best Hotel in Hollywood, period.

Let me start off by saying I haven’t been here in over 7 years. The last time was when I was running the office/​behind-​the-​scenes of this bar and the other two at the Roosevelt Hotel (Tropicana and Library/​Lobby bar).
The door is still just as rude, but with no real reason. Not that the person who created the insane craze all those years ago with Teddy’s was a great person to work with, but to her credit the space was really some place you WANTED to get into. Now, meh.
Also, once you get in, and wait for the bartenders to stop talking to each other and the cocktail waitresses about their call-​backs, you get a watered down drink for $ 15. Please note, if you order from a waitress at a table, that drink will cost you $ 18. Once you question the waitress, she’ll quickly explain «Oh, oh, it’s on the bill. It’s a service charge». (It’s not). So… a 20% service charge to walk ten feet and then NOT tell the customer about it. All while the ‘gratuity’ line stays wide open for an extra tip? Sorry, I’ll go to the bar from now on. Or at a bar down the street and have water here.
You’ll also have to flag her down after your first drink, because the manager is hitting on her (the same manager that we saved all those years ago… after security cameras caught him peeing in a hotel trash can). Hollywood GLAMOUR!
So, in summation, if you plan on attending an event, friend’s gathering, need for an over-​priced night out and are craving some LA attitude on the side; head on down to Teddy’s. And, from what I hear, the Tropicana is pretty much the same way. Now I’m not so sorry I stayed away for so long. I only wish our friend’s night was somewhere else.
It’s too bad, it used to be a great space.

Located in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, this swanky lounge is no longer its hip self. Like any Hollywood hotspot, this place once had a strict guest list and long lines. However, this has changed. With newer lounges and clubs opening up nearby, Teddy’s is no longer the cool kid in town. Yet, Teddy’s is still a beautiful lounge that still carries itself some major swag. The bar area is dark and swanky. The people are beauitufl. There are tables and leather couches that you no longer have to reserve to rest your dancing feet. Drinks are stiff and are around $ 11.00 a pop. The DJ plays Top 40 Hits on the weekends. Thursday nights are jazz night.
If you don’t feel like waiting in line but one a fun night out in Hollywood, definitely visit this watering libation.

**SWANKY LOUNGE WITH GOOD LOOKING PEEPS**
We didn’t even want to deal with Boulevard 3, so we walked a few blocks and stumbled into Teddy’s.
LIKES:
*Nice front people.
*No attitude.
*No cover.
*Nice décor
*Eye candy
*Plenty of sitting area
*Dance floor
Wow.
Then we walked in and was blown away by the beauty of the bar, the chandeliers, the dim lighting, and the fabulous LA stylish eye candy.
DISLIKES:
*Roaming coke heads (LA in a nut shell after midnight)
*DJ was not Samantha Ronson the night we visited, so the music was a bit whacked
Not a big space, intimate, but that was good for me.
Drinks were strong and tasty but heard they were expensive.
You could get better drinks at the Library Bar next door and bring them inside the club as well (See my review for the Library Bar).
RECOMMEND.
