    I hosted my 30th birthday party at Royale and we had a fantastic time! The drinks were great and the food was amazing. The service was on point and management was really easy to work with in booking the space. We had a fantastic time! Highly recommend!

    Simply delicious. They say it is the best burger in nyc. The meat is pure. It is cooked a perfect medium rare. The bun is soft, never soggy. The burger is accompanied by a perfect ipa or whatever you chose from the bar. And then there’s the beer batter onion rings. Mind blown.

    Good vibes, food and beer excellent place to enjoy with friends

    Royale is an absolute gem in the heart of the city, and I cant help but sing its praises after my recent visit. From the moment you step through the door, the ambiance is a perfect blend of classic and contemporary, making it an inviting space for anyone looking to unwind with a good drink.What truly sets Royale apart is its exceptional selection of beverages, and the Guinness here is nothing short of perfection. Served with that ideal creamy head, every sip is a symphony of rich, roasted flavors that dance on your palate. The bartenders seem to have mastered the art of the perfect pour, and its evident they take pride in delivering an impeccable pint.The staffs knowledge and enthusiasm for the drink menu add an extra layer to the experience. Theyre not just pouring drinks; theyre crafting an experience, sharing tidbits about each beverage that make you appreciate whats in your glass even more. Its a level of service that elevates Royale from a great bar to an exceptional one.The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, making it equally suitable for a casual night out with friends or a more intimate gathering. The decor exudes a timeless charm, with a well-thought-out layout that encourages conversation. Whether youre at the bar engaging with the friendly staff or nestled in one of the cozy tables, Royale strikes a perfect balance between energy and relaxation.And lets not forget the menu beyond the drinks. The culinary offerings complement the bar experience seamlessly. Whether youre in the mood for a hearty pub classic or a more refined dish, the kitchen delivers with quality and flavor that match the excellence of the bar.In conclusion, if youre a Guinness enthusiast or simply someone in search of a top-tier bar experience, Royale is the place to be. Its a haven where the art of pouring a perfect pint meets a welcoming atmosphere, creating a haven for those who appreciate the finer things in life. Cheers to Royale for setting the standard high in the world of bars!

    The whole staff is just amazing! Sundays at Royale is our place to go to after coming out of the House of the Lord. Burgers, nacho dip, and wings, along with fun & board games. They also have a back patio to sit, eat, drink, and just chill out while enjoying your time there. Cant beat that every Sunday! Special shout out to Hailey, I love ya, Gurl!!!

    This east side pub has a good menu. I came in here on a Friday night and got their royale with cheese (a cheeseburger). The meat had a great savory flavor of one thats been cooked to perfection. The music selection is great too, making the whole place fun to hang out.

  • Review 7 (2024-08-19 - Rating: 5)

    Everything here is great. The food is restaurant tier along with the cocktails. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. I’d recommend the royale double cheeseburger and the nachos with steak ;)Love y’all baddies ❤️

    Not plus size friendly. Tables are very close. Chairs for small bottoms only. Brunch pitcher strong and delicious. Limited brunch menu. Burger good.

    Killer wings. Great spot to watch a game or to just hang out. Fantastic draft beer selection, super friendly staff, unbeatable prices. A local classic.Hailey rocks

    Mateo and staff treated me so well. Food is good, ambience, games are class. A hidden gem in east village, 10/10 would recommend.

  • Review 11 (2023-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    Hands down one of the best burgers you will find in NYC. I added an egg to mine but any burger you choose is amazing. The choice/choices of meat used to make the burger patties is phenomenal. Bartenders are friendly and make good drinks as well.

  • Review 12 (2024-06-07 - Rating: 5)

    Please do yourself a favor and book Royal Bar for your next event! Working with Dave’s team is a breeze – hes upfront with pricing, flexible, and communicative. We recently rented out the back deck and patio for our corporate Pride event. Despite a slight hiccup due to weather, the team acted quickly with the retractable roof and provided options to move part of our event inside if needed.Daves team was incredibly gracious with the event setup, allowing us to reconfigure the deck to accommodate our photo booth activation and speaker system for our drag entertainer’s performance. The food and drink service was unbeatable – Brooklyn prices in the city are hard to come by, and the quality of the food was a highlight.10/10 – I will definitely consider rebooking with his team for both personal and corporate events!

    Royale was great! Recommended by the owner of another venue a few doors down.It was bustling with...not noise but what sounded like good ole conversations and loads of fun.The staff was very accommodating and genuinely attentive and conversational.My group of 4 sat out back under heaters and it wasnt bad at all.We had the spicy hot apple cider and vanilla dessert balls. I forget🤦🏾 but we played the board games and just hung out a bit. Cozy spot.🙆🏾‍♀️

    The perfect grilled chicken sandwich. Need to go back and try the hamburger next time.

  • Review 16 (2024-02-01 - Rating: 5)

    Great local. Ive been coming here for years and never bothered to leave a review, but had such a great time through it seemed worth it. Food is stellar and diverse, beer selection always has what I want, and staff is engaging, cheeky, and make you feel welcome. Recommend anyone in the area stop by.

  • Review 17 (2022-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    Spent my birthday here and it was LIT! Great music. The burgers were amazing. And liquor was flowing. Jay the bartender is amazing. Must visit for NYC.

  • Review 18 (2023-07-20 - Rating: 5)

    This was the first bar I ever hung out in when I moved to NY, and I can’t say enough amazing things about them. The food is amazing, and their burgers are some of the best I’ve had in the city. The service is wonderful and the staff always make me feel welcome.They have outdoor seating and a beautiful patio. It’s a great place to go solo or with a large group of friends.

  • Review 19 (2023-08-02 - Rating: 4)

    Nice atmosphere, has indoor and outdoor seating, burger was good but nothin to write home about, you can tell its quality ingredients though! Fries were decent. Food came quick but service after that was a bit slow, the bartender was the only one walking back and forth waiting all the tables and then serving drinks at the bar. The thing that caught me off guard was that the ketchup tasted like they poured beer in there, not sure if it was just the bottle at our table or what.

  • Review 20 (2023-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    We recently hosted my buddys pre-wedding party at Royale and it couldnt have been more perfect. We took over the back patio space and the ambiance, food, drinks, music, good vibes from the staff were all top notch. Dave from the events team was awesome to work with in the lead up and planning. Ryan (our on-site contact) was efficient, and easy going - he kept the drinks flowing and in order which is no small feat! We were also impressed by the quality of the food which we added with our open bar package. GREAT experience overall and would happily and without hesitation host here again :)

  • Review 21 (2023-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    Royale is a true neighborhood bar in the East Village; it’s rare to stop in and not recognize a customer or get a friendly greeting from the staff. The food is consistently high quality and delicious with a great selection of beers on tap. The back patio is a fantastic hidden gem for relaxing in year round. All in all it is a great bar!

  • Review 22 (2023-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    I had my daughters going away party in their backyard garden area and everything was just PERFECT from the atmosphere to the service to the food and drinks! Shout Out to Ryan, the manager, who made it simple and seamless from start to finish. The staff was attentive, easy-going, and accommodating. Don’t give this a second thought of planning your next casual party here!!! I’d give it 6 stars if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Review 23 (2023-08-26 - Rating: 4)

    Went with the crew for dinner after track workout. Loved the setting at the back. Very spacious. Spicy chicken burger was on point. The price was very reasonable. Would love to go back & try other dishes.

  • Review 24 (2024-09-21 - Rating: 5)

    We got married at Royale and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue. Dave is fantastic to work with and made the evening so special. The place was perfect for cocktail hour, ceremony in the back, dinner, and dancing! Dave and team made the whole night magical with delicious food and drinks and the best vibes in all of NYC. Can’t wait to continue to host more things at Royale and go back for the delicious steak sandwich 🤤!

  • Review 25 (2023-08-04 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing burgers, best in the city. Old fashioned are to die for and vibes and service are always on point. Royale is the spot!

  • Review 26 (2023-10-25 - Rating: 4)

    Really cute restaurant/ bar with ample outdoor space. Creative cocktails and delicious bites.

  • Review 27 (2022-12-27 - Rating: 4)

    The food was excellent, the server was excellent, the place was nicely decorated for Christmas. However, the only pet peeve I had was that all the indoor tables are high tops which I find uncomfortable and all the seats with the exception of the ones at the bar are so narrow theres no way either I or members of our party of five could sit at them. Therefore we had to sit at the picnic tables on the open patio in the back. There was overhead heat lamps which helped but it was freezing out there. If the seating remains the same I will still return as the food & service were fabulous, however, it wont be until the Spring or Summer. Its within walking distance to our apartment so I definitely will return when it warms up.

  • Review 28 (2023-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    I almost don’t want to say this because this bar is my favorite in NYC and I don’t want anyone else to know but it’s literally my favorite place in the world. The bartenders (Ryan and Gerardo) are my husbands and I’m a lesbian. The best experience in the entire city best food best drinks I love it all. If you don’t come here, you’re simply missing out

  • Review 29 (2024-01-13 - Rating: 5)

    This place is real deal bomb dot com! This is the go to place for my kids and their friends as well as many adults with n the community. The demography is super vast- all ages. Ryan (twin) is absolutely amazing with his sick accent and witty humor. Hailey is everyone’s sis- super down to earth and no nonsense (love, love her). Rene is a total Boo thang- great with the kids and Geraldo is that soul man- super dope vibes on a late night. The Marcellus and the grand Royale are absolutely fire. I don’t usually eat burgers out because a previous bad experience. However this place feels like home.

  • Review 35 (2022-08-23 - Rating: 5)

    So good! The burgers, the wings, and the onion rings are all outstanding. It’s also a terrific bar, for both beer and liquor, and has a lovely, large patio in the back. It is everything you could look for in that type of bar, done as well as it can be.

    Best burger and people in town! Royal is home and right down block from me… when in doubt of where to go on a night for drinking this is where we end up! Gerardo is my fave bartender.

  • Review 43 (2020-03-08 - Rating: 4)

    I enjoyed the food and the drinks. The servers were very accommodating. I attended a fundraiser at Royale and thought it was very gracious of them to make a donation to the cause. The only thing I think could be better is their private room. It seems like a recent add on that needs a little bit more work. All in all it was a great time. Looking forward to going back.

  • Review 44 (2021-09-26 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 46 (2023-07-20 - Rating: 5)

    The Best Mutha Phucka Burger Ive found in NYC. The meat is thick, and the oil permeates gloriously through it, so it has a crispy, grilled, layered texture on the outer part- reminiscent of of the crystallization in the caramel of creme brûlée. Delicious. The cow breeding reminds me of the tastes in a Krispy creme doughnut, without the sweetness. Great service with a clean cut pub environment. Best Burger in NYC

  • Review 47 (2022-07-10 - Rating: 5)

    A go to for Burgers! Tots, steak and chicken sandos are awesome too. Always great food, beers and excellent service. Cool outdoor back patio for added space and sidewalk shanty that is open air and well lit that doesnt take up any parking spaces.

  • Review 49 (2013-09-30 - Rating: 5)

    Ive never had a bad thing on the menu - its all delicious. Its not a dive bar - great selection of mixed drinks/cocktails. The beer selection is pretty standard - maybe slightly above average. The outdoor area is really cozy and they keep it open when its chilly (heat lamps).The staff is all fun, cool and friendly...this has become my friends Cheers bar and it will be till we leave alphabet city.I do wish their happy hour were better, but hey, its still my favorite place to meet friends in the hood.

    Very friendly staff and absolutely delicious sandwiches.Ok, Bridgette is the absolute worst. Inattentive, unengaging, bringing her personal problems to work…so different from other staff. “Do you want another beer?” versus “Would you like another beer?” It makes a big difference in the experience.

    Husky-voiced, braless waitress was attentive, and oddly I sensed no irony in her voice when she had to repeatedly ask, as our large table ordered, do you want fries with that? Good sport. Large outdoor backyard space is the draw. Kale salad was tasty but smallish. Inside bar area seemed busy and happy. Good for groups and parties.

  • Review 55 (2016-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    I liked this restaurant as soon as I walked in! The staff was very quick to help us and the bartender made great drinks! We did not wait too long to get a seat in the outside dining area and our food was delicious! The atmosphere was great and everyone was super friendly. It was also not expensive to get a great dinner. My fiancé and I will definitely be going back!

  • Review 58 (2019-07-13 - Rating: 4)

    This casual bar makes more than one reference to Pulp Fiction on their menu. Known for their burgers, the basic burger is of course called The Royale. The Cheeseburger is called The Royale With Cheese. And a specialty burger with Gruyere, Maytag Blue, and truffle salt is called The Marcellus Wallace! I gotta say, the burgers were good. I had the Marcellus Wallace without the carmelized onions. Their truffle fries are pretty darn good too. Didnt have a drink but their bar seemed pretty well stocked. The atmosphere was laid back. Shorts and flip-flops pass the test to get in the door. Wait staff was super friendly and reasonably prompt. Definitely recommended.

    I know, but get the chicken. Tiny little hole in the wall on avenue c. Great burgers, better fried chicken sandwich. Free chicken wings during halftime of monday night football. Thats how they got me in there the first time, Im such a sucker for signs on the sidewalk. Lovely waitresses and bartenders. Beer prices are eh. I got suckered into a beer bucket, which never happens to me. Mini Coronas, but the waitress was so nice! I come back often for the chicken sandwich it really is the tippy top. Price is reasonable chicken wise. If you dont live over here you wouldnt know this place is here. So get over here and try it!

  • Review 84 (2011-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    Royale is disguised as a neighborhood pub but in reality it is burger gastroenterologists playground.They dont serve many food here and to be honest, you could and should overlook everything else other than fries, onion rings and their burgers.The burger is merely $7 and it is a generous one. The beef patty is juicy and grilled to sizzling hot and tasty. If you order it with bacon, they make sure it is piled layers after layers on top of your patty.The bun is just right; it is not soaked through nor does it get crushed.Order a side of onion rings to go with it and you wont regret coming all the way to Avenue C.

    Good burgers, good fries, good staff. A bit out of the way and could use better cheeses and an egg-on-top for the burgers. Has Anchor Steam on tap.

    Your perfect neighborhood watering hole and burger joint. The staff is incredibly friendly and hard-working, the drink selections are always on point, and the burger is delicious & reasonably priced.I always take family and out of town friends here because I know it’s going to be a good time. Bonus points if you ever take advantage of the backyard seating. It’s very pretty and you couldn’t tell that from walking down the street.Highly recommend!

    Royale is the go to bar for good food, good sports and good people. I highly recommend the bacon Royale with cheese and I also enjoy the chicken fingers. Top notch French fries. Ask for Hailey, she is the best bartender in the city and will take care of you. If Hailey’s not around ask for Ryan he is also very good. Good tv situation for sports fans

From start to finish, this place had it all – great atmosphere, delicious drinks, and most importantly, an outstanding staff!Hailey, Bridget and Ryan’s genuine interest in getting to know their customers made the day even more special. They engaged in friendly conversations, sharing stories and jokes, making me feel like a valued guest rather than just a customer.Overall, my visit to Royale was nothing short of exceptional, and I have the staff to thank for it. The incredible service they provided made all the difference, turning an ordinary night out into an extraordinary one.

  • Review 156 (2023-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    Had a big birthday party here a few years ago. The team went above and beyond to make the organization stress-free, easy, and accommodating for some of our special requests (sabering champagne, bringing cake, etc.). The food (especially the burger) was delicious. The whole place brings the best of a laid back neighborhood bar with outdoor space + excellent food and drinks that youd find at trendy spots that are difficult to get into. Highly recommend!

  • Review 157 (2023-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    Royale is a real East Village legend at this point. And even though it has been around for a while, it continues to remain fresh. Whether youre dining, drinking or having an event there, its going to be great. Have held many celebrations at Royale (in their awesome & beautiful yard) and each one has been a success. The service, food, drinks, atmosphere, all of it, is excellent!

  • Review 170 (2023-08-15 - Rating: 5)

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon for a friends birthday and was absolutely thrilled with the place. Its a little off from the main subways but not too far, and worth the walk, but its a small front and can be easy to miss. Drink selection is pretty good for cocktails and beers, but their burgers looked to die for! I wish I had got one, but just gives me another reason to come back. There is both indoor and outdoor (covered and uncovered) seating avaliable, albeit not a ton. Staff was very friendly and accommodating for everyone. The place also does have a few TVs inside in case you want to try and catch a game while youre hanging out.
