Probably my favorite bar I have ever been to! I love how low-key and relaxed the atmosphere is. You can totally tell it is a local, neighborhood bar. The patio is superb! Fire pit for cold weather🔥
Chris DavisJune 14, 2017They just re-vamped their menu! And their patio is cozy, casual, spacious, and pleasant. If you like cocktails, a good tasting menu with a great patio this place is for you.
Riverfront TimesAugust 4, 2014The burgers are excellent, none more so than the "Royale," a carnivore's delight of grain-fed beef. Other standouts include smoked brisket tacos and a terrific roast-beef sandwich with garlic aioli. Read more
- Riverfront TimesNovember 20, 2014A customer favorite is the farm-raised catfish tacos encrusted in crushed corn chips and cumin, pan-fried and topped with cabbage, pico de gallo and chipotle aioli. Read more
The ArtificialNovember 27, 2017The Royale is a distinctly St. Louis bar. Located in Tower Grove, this place engenders the blue-city-in-a-red-state feeling shared by so many in St. Louis proper.
Great food and beer choices but I come here for the cocktails. Sunday night is cocktail museum night, a little history lesson along with yr drinks- Best neighborhood bar in STL! Great patio, delicious food, eclectic drink menu. Fish tacos + a subcontinental = pure awesomeness! The subcontinental tastes like summertime in a glass!
- Anton Lee HnetinkaDecember 2, 2017I visit The Royale, Very happening place with good music, great interiors, great food and good crowd Easily one of the best St Louis, Missouri.
HIPSTER CENTRAL, and that's how I love it. Get their classic Manhattan, not the spruced up one on their specialty menu. The Mr. Smith is AWESOME on a hot night. They have very inventive and amazing sp Read more
ScottAugust 24, 2014This might be considered a dive bar from the outside. It is not, the food was very tasty and the beer selection was excellent. Deschutes Armory XPA!- Riverfront TimesJune 18, 2013Royale's veggie wrap generously serves hummus, romaine lettuce, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, tomato, cucumber, onion, feta and tzatziki sauce in a Lebanese pita bread. http://bit.ly/16eyjW8
Ricardo RodriguezJune 10, 2015Beer, beer and more beer, large selection of craft beers. Plus the food is pretty good.
Alex HoffmanMay 20, 2017Pre-prohibition old fashioned made by Francis. Pulled jerk chicken sandwich. Atmosphere.
The hummus is the best you've ever had and if you're a veg, the veggie burger with pesto and roasted peppers is fantastic!
Emily KlasingJuly 8, 2010Excellent veg options. Fab balsamic house salad. If you like moo meat, Kobe burger is second to none. They just took pizza off their menu. Eastern club is wonderful twist on a classic. <3 you, Royale!
Steven Fitzpatrick SmithDecember 9, 2011I am the owner of the Royale. There is no Foursquare special tonight, I don't know what Foursquare is up to or how to call them. But feel free to step down for a sip.
Jean ShimMarch 21, 2013Great beer selection....there's a Belgian beer in a can that is just fantastic! Outdoor firepit is also awesome on the cold winter nights!!
Phillip BorzilleriJune 11, 2010Go to The Royale and order the ribs special if they have it. Excellent and only 9 bucks. Great outdoor patio when the weather cooperates. Smoke-Free indoors! Sadly - allow smoking on patio. Read more
Matthew HurstJanuary 3, 2013In addition to being a great bar and restaurant, political junkies will feel at home during election season, as the bar frequently hosts events during election nights. Read more
Be sure to try their spinach & Artichoke dip. Great drinks and very cozy. Fantastic burgers!
Ben ZalaskyJanuary 29, 2010This is one of my favorite spots to relax and hang out in St. Louis, for dinner or after a show. Loved the chili dinner during kitchen remodeling. Pretzel hoagies from Companion complemented the meal.
Don't miss the vanilla milk stout! Cut it with coffee stout! Love our Green Dining Alliance member Schlafly!
I love the patio in the summer. Very dog friendly. Lot's of great craft beer.
Go! MagazineDecember 23, 2010Top cocktails of 2010: Try the Baltimore Eggnog. Bartender Robert Griffin follows an 1862 recipe that calls for Madeira wine, rum, cognac, eggs, sugar, nutmeg, milk and cream. (Evan S. Benn)- one of my favorite spots in STL! try the Subcontinental drink. It's delicious!!
- Riverfront TimesJune 11, 2013Try the Subcontinental, comprised of gin and Cointreau with fresh lime and cucumber juices! http://bit.ly/13FWECD
- Fantastic beer selection, and good quality food. Love the fish tacos.
Joseph B.August 25, 2014Great food and fun trivia, but lots of leftist propaganda and Obama portraits.- Riverfront TimesNovember 15, 2013"Subcontinental" is comprised of gin and Cointreau with fresh lime and cucumber juices. http://bit.ly/1aYc5xa
Kristin ClaesFebruary 7, 2010One of the best bars in St. Louis for sure. Good food, more fun not on a Saturday night (gets crowded) nice back patio in the summer.
Jim FisherNovember 16, 2010Finally got around to trying the brisket taco. I highly recommend. Blue cheese crumbles a terrific complement.
- Jim FisherOctober 30, 2010Always liked their fish tacos, but see folks here are liking the brisket tacos. Must of missed those.
Have excellent drink options. They have really good non-alcoholic beverages too. Anywhere from virgin bloody marys to herbal infused lemonades. Read more- Trisha DieckmannSeptember 6, 2010On sundays the subcontinental cocktail is only $5.00! Fresh cucumber juice and gin! So refreshing!
- Spencer GrahamJuly 12, 2010The brisket tacos are amazing. If you need more convincing, they have blue cheese and avocado.
Try the subcontinental or the bourbon with cider. Amazing
You can never go wrong with the fish tacos. They're delish.
