Loved loved loved the food and cocktails. Everything was expertly prepared...flavors were fantastic and the coffee was epic. Atmosphere and staff wee also spot on...great job guys
AMAZING! I visited with the intention of one drink, and stayed until close. The space is quaint and relaxed, service is fast and friendly. The hand drawn menus are adorable and fun. The cocktails are unlike anything you've tried before, with unique flavours and presentation. The food was incredible, I especially enjoyed the coffee roasted carrots. I absolutely will recommend and visit this place often! Go! Go! Go....
And bring me with you ☺️
Fantastic, the energy this place gives off is absolutely sublime! It's very cosy and welcoming, gives you a sense of comfort and belonging. Great location too! The staff �� great human beings!!

Couldn't really be better! The people, the drinks, the food, the atmosphere; they are all amazing!
We had a fantastic night at the roost tonight. Cocktails and food were awesome. Very attentive and knowledgable staff made the experience that much better :)
Great drinks, great apps, great atmosphere and even better staff
Great prices on food and drinks, excellent atmosphere and rockstar staff!
The place to be! Awesome cocktails, tasty treats and treetop views
Drinks were great and original. The food wasn't what we hoped it would be for the prices we paid. I'd go again for drinks but not for the food.
Adorable cozy place!
The cocktails are fun, and the food is superbly delicious, the best Brussels sprouts I've ever tasted!! This unique place is in the attic of a house with a cute patio out front overlooking corydon. I don't like the chairs around the bar, they are big and clunky and awkward to move.
Came here for some afternoon drinks and tapas. It also happened to be Le Burger week so we got one of the burgers to try.
This place is really neat, it's literally in the attic of a house that just so happens to have a patio attached. It's cozy and welcoming but at the same time, seating is extremely limited.
Service was excellent and they were extremely accommodating with some special requests. They also split the bills very fairly (everyone pays for their own drinks yet food is split evenly).
The cocktails were beautifully created and the tapas very tasty. The flavours were well balanced and portions appropriate for the price. Unfortunately the veggie burger offered up for Le Burger week was not as good. It tasted like a mashed sweet potato patty in a bun.
If you're hankering for a fancy cocktail and don't feel like heading downtown, this place is definitely worth trying out!
The exterior of the place looked like a house. I walked through the first door, which turned out to be some beauty place, then went to the door further away from me. Walking up the stairs, the twisted staircase lead me to the bar, which seemed small, but the patio further to my left was promising. Luckily, the weather was beautiful enough to stay outside, no complaints. My two other friends and I enjoyed the three vegan plates: the Seitan Tacos, chickpea patties and the Brussel sprouts. You haven't had Brussel sprouts like we had them! The server was very cool and enthusiastic about the specials and took good care of us. Overall, a positive experience and I look forward to going again. Prices were a tad high though.
The best and most creative cocktails I've had the pleasure of drinking! I like their winter ones especially, as I'm a whiskey lover and they always pair it so well. All cocktails have 2oz too, which make their price really reasonable considering all the extra work and skill that go into them. The atmosphere is also the best. The décor is on point, and the staff has perfected the welcoming/hip persona. On a Friday night, they played a bunch of Sinatra and I could not have been happier. This is my go-to stop for cocktails, whether catching up with a friend, for a date, or pre-/post- dinner.
I haven't tried their food yet, as I'm more into creative cocktails than creative food, but I love that they pair the two because it makes it simple to choose. With all those flavours, you don't want to pick opposing palettes. It's not as simple as beer and wings. So that's the only reason I left off a .5 star, because once I try the food I want to be able to give the full 5 if appropriate.
What a great little find! The service was casual, friendly and staff are helpful at making recommendations and staying attentive. I thought the prices were reasonable for the caliber of food, but the real star is the cocktail menu! The cocktail I had when I first went here months ago was memorable and to this day, I think the cocktails are probably the best thing about this place. The only downside is the size of this place. (If I remember correctly, I think there were three tables.) The patio offers much more seating but it's not year-round. I've often gone only to find they were full (which happens easily with a place this size) and I had to go elsewhere on the strip for drinks. But if you can find a seat, it's a nice, dim, cozy feel.
My new favorite place in Winnipeg! The drinks are amazing and imaginative, the food incredible and the patio and interior so cute and welcoming! The staff are always sweet and kind, and because the place is small, the service is super fast! Love, love. A bit pricey but worth it.
Fantastic drinks food and staff. Small place great atmosphere! My favorites were the bacon wrapped duck medallion and the ah yes. We for sure plan to come back here again!
Came here with a group for my birthday dinner. Left very happy and impressed! Service was extremely accommodating. Drinks arrived very quickly and was delicious! I enjoy my Bourbon, so ordered a Lady Scorpio and strongly recommend it.
Portions were a good size for a tapas place. Good came staggered as we were a group of 10, so hot food was always arriving. The duck medallions and duck breast were wonderful.
By chance our server was the primary owner. Even though there was a young infant in the party, he made us feel welcome and did an excellent job meeting our needs.
Decor was simple, yet elegant with a lot of space being devoted to the bar.
Space was a little tight as it's a smaller restaurant , and as mentioned it was a larger group.
I can't wait to come back to this hole in the wall, hidden gem this summer and spend an evening on the beautiful patio they will have set up.
We had the drink feature... It was something to taste for sure. Unreal flavours and my partner had the studio companion which was very soft and smooth. For apps we had oxtail gnocci and polenta romesco . I wanted to keep eating and eating. Everything was amazing. I strongly recommend that you make a date at this quaint gem on corydon. You won't be disappointed!
This place is so chill. I love it. They serve delicious craft cocktails and amazing food. It's cozy and warm like a hug from a friend. I love all of the sweet cocktails! The birthday one is absolutely my favorite.

Last night my partner and I decided to stop into The Roost at the recommendation of my work colleague. We stopped in around midnight for a couple of appetizers and some drinks. When we arrived it was quiet and cozy. We were greeted immediately with genuine smiles and helpful suggestions.
Little did we know, the man who greeted and helped us with choosing the braised oxtail and roasted duck breast appetizers was the owner of the spot. The food was delectable! The oxtail was our favourite but that is not to say the duck was not also worth every bite! The chef kindly chatted with us and answered all of our questions about the food and explained techniques and ingredients to us. It was great to watch the gentleman cook with their partially open-concept kitchen.
The bartender, extraordinarily kind and helpful, made us some of the best cocktails we have had in a long time. My partner is an wonderful bartender himself and we were amazed! She was knowledgeable and smiling the entire night. We had the greatest little adventure. What a hidden gem! Cannot wait to make this place a regular spot for ourselves!

Love this cool and unpretentious lounge that serves up stiff, inventive cocktails with a surprisingly delectable small plates menu on Corydon. It's been years since I've been able to enjoy a cool place that actually serves up good food on the Corydon strip. This place is located on the second floor of what seems like some person's former apartment but it has been transformed into a cozy bar lounge area with a cave like bar area that seats about 10 people and then 3 tables with some banquettes that could seat another 12 people if you squish them a bit.
I was really here for the cocktails but ended up loving the food even more and I wasn't even planning on eating. I'll start with the food - there's 11 items on the small plates menu that's cutely handwritten ranging from $4-$14 with most around $10-$12 per plate. Roast duck breast with pomegranate syrup, burn grapefruit and candied pecans ($14) was the only dish I wouldn't have again as leaned too sweet with the pomegranate syrup and the candied pecans. The duck breast skin could have been more crispy but the duck breast was tender.
Braised oxtail ($12) - luscious whipped potatoes with a kick ass pickled shallots that paired so well with the mustard seeds, the sauce and the savoury oxtail. I would have this again and again.
The Kentucky Fried Rabbit ($7) were three fried rabbit balls that looked like risotto balls initially to me, I was expecting more like mini fried chicken except it's rabbit. Anyhow they were delicious with the coconut cilantro sambal and maple sriracha. There was a nice play of sweet and spicy though definitely not that spicy. Another great dish.
The cocktail I had was a special and I can't remember what was in it except for rye, cinnamon and whipped egg whites but it was a stiff drink! It was $12 but you get a nice dose of alcohol and it was a generous amount. There's a lot of craft cocktails to select from so take your time looking at the menu or ask the very friendly servers what they would recommend.
Loved the vibe as this place had a wide spectrum of people chilling there throughout the night. My new favourite hangout.
They also have a roof top bar (small but cozy) like your friend's apartment balcony but slightly bigger.
A wonderful cocktail menu, and very creative and well-prepared small plate dishes. You certainly should try this spot if you like unique and creative dishes and a very quaint and eclectic surrounding.
Creative and delicious cocktails. All kinds of neat drinks for all tastes. Food is amazing and excellently presented. Very friendly staff and a neat environment!
This place is fantastic! I highly recommend it! The food is inventive and always delicious, the cocktails are unlike anything anyone else offers, and the atmosphere is great! If you haven't gone, you should go. If you have, you should go again.
OK so where do I begin. I just finished at the roost and instantly knew I needed to brag about this place. You know when new spots are wonderful I always feel they deserve to be spoken highly of. This place is like no other in winnipeg. I had a variety of dishes and hand crafted drinks. Everything I ordered blew my mind how this small place could whip up dishes like this, who is there chef? Whoever it is, is so so creative. It seems like I can't not tell you about this place, it is by far the nicest rooftop patio on corydon, glass railing. Super cool spot. I will be making a weekly appearance here, staff is super cool too.
Thanks
Ate here last Wednesday... very cozy at home feeling and the staff is very nice. Had a couple of cocktails (The Bourbon Bonbon and a Hibiscus Flower Mojito), both very good.
Had the cured salmon and the chicken sausage... the flavors are amazing.
Fantastic 2nd floor rooftop patio overlooking Corydon street.
If you like to try new places, you should try this place.
Staff is very friendly.
@I had a wonderful evening at The Roost. It started off with The Fireside cocktail....delicious!!! Then the food came to our table by the most friendly staff!!! We ordered the chicken sausage, cured salmon, and the flat bread... all amazing!! Thanks to the Roost for the wonderful experience!!!
This hidden gem is amazing. Creative (strong 2 oz) craft cocktails are delicious. Shared the cured salmon on brioche, flatbread and the ever so yummy chicken sausage. Chose The Favourite Sweater as my first cocktail ... Mmmmm then the Alleyway. So many unique flavours.
This place was hopping and will be insanely busy next summer on their amazing 2nd floor patio. It's so cozy inside it feels like a private party.
A must try!
This is one of our favourite spots in Winnipeg for either an afternoon or evening cocktail. In covid times, we did take-out dinner for 2. The steamed buns (chicken and Tofu) were delicious, well seasoned, and expertly balanced in flavor. We had Cauliflower and lentils, as well as braised beef short rib -- both were fantastic! Would highly recommend!
A very small restaurant serving small delicious plates/tapas with a great selection of specialty cocktails. The outdoor patio would be awesome on a warm evening. Only down fall of this location is is is not handicap accessible.
Excellent ambiance!
Delicious drink and food! The steamed buns are delicious and i would recommend any of their cocktails! Pictured is the “travel bug” which was vegan, which i appreciated.
They clearly display vegan options and vegan dishes and you can also opt to add non-vegan options to your food as well if you wish.
The servers were all very polite and easygoing and a pleasure to be around!
The dude who was helping us out was incredibly friendly, and the bread and butter was much too good than it had any right being. Drinks and ambiance are phenomenal as well.
I can’t wait to return!!
Get a reservation if you can, but if you're lucky like us, you can get a spot right at the bar to watch the masterful work their bartrnder/mixologist/drink wizard. The line I overheard was "Cocktails is what they do [at the Roost]", and that is very true from our experience.
Food we had was all amazing (Stuffed Olives, Mushroom Handpie, Fried Chicken Steam Bun, Roost Burger, and Sticky Toffee Pudding) and the atmosphere relaxed and fun.
Everyone there clearly wants to be there, and you get that vibe as soon as you walk in.
Go here. Eat, drink, and enjoy the experience.
Beautiful atmosphere, one-of-a-kind cocktails and amazing food. The staff/owners are awesome people who are always so friendly and inviting. This is a cozy and wonderful staple to stumble home from in the area on any given night. We love you guys!
One of the best vegan friendly restaurants in Winnipeg. The food is creative, delicious and very visually appealing. I don't know another place in Winnipeg that creates cocktails like The Roost. Had a great dinner here with my wife and the quaint atmosphere and attention to detail was awesome.
Love love their set up it's cute and cozy. Well cooked foods all tasted amazing and loved their cocktails.
