What People Are Saying About Royal Oak

A discreet entrance masks the casual bar's spacious interior. Dimly-lit brass fixtures, red textured wallpaper and wood paneling give Royal Oak the feel of a 1930s speakeasy. Red leather booths and intimate tables are spread throughout the bar's three rooms, while a foosball table in the middle room gets serious use every night. While weeknights offer a laid-back drinking environment, the weekends are a debaucherous meet market filled with local singles and visitors looking to seriously let loose.

This is a fun place, it use to not be so crowded, but guess the secret got out it was cool. Has cozy decor, and fun to get drinks with friends. After 10:30 it starts getting jammed on the weekends, and then it can get a little nuts.

I have mixed feelings about Royal Oak. The clientele is made up of questionable ?21? year olds, but then again I once appeared to be underage (and once was underage) and I needed a place to let it all out, so I can?t really begrudge the youngsters this spot. I do feel slightly resentful though that those of us who were born before Reagan - or at least in his first term - haven?t made a stand and clamed this spot as our own. I have been on nights when there is a better age mix, but maybe I have bad luck because those times seem few and far in between. Regardless, I love a good dance party and will seek out this spot when I need a quick fix. It?s fun. It?s loud. It?s close to home.

Sorry we are not in Long Island and you are not going to find girls with fake nails, boys with "blowouts", and Usher remixes here ! UMMM it is in Williamsburg so yes, there will be hipsters but not everyone. It has great music and nice bartenders. This place is great. I'm 24 and I have never felt there were junior high school student's there. People need to calm down, enjoy a beer, and dance their a$$ off!
