The team behind the Rô understood the assignment when it came to bringing the late-night glam of an exclusive NYC or LA lounge to Roanoke. While not a speakeasy, per se, the lush decor and expertly crafted cocktail menu place this firmly in the realm of sophisticated, yet welcoming entertainment. The plush booths, ambient lighting, quirky artwork, including a trove of framed love letters, and the grand fireplace make it an equally great option for a date night or the perfect selfie background for a night out with friends.
THE VIBE: Swanky and cool, this upscale lounge invokes the excitement of a members-only bar in the heart of a thriving metropolis. Dress to impress.
HOW TO FIND IT: Head to Roanoke’s thriving Oak Street and look for the rolled-out red carpet.
WHAT TO DRINK: You can’t go wrong with any of their “Signature Sips,” but their “Born To Be Wild” stands out with its mix of Casamigos Repo, Nixta Corn Liqueur, strawberry, lime and smoked chili bitters.
