I haven't been to this bar since before the Pandemic, but always had a great time there. The bartenders, and staff are very friendly, and professional. It looks like they are temporarily closed now, but This was always my go to neighborhood date night bar. I really hope Royal Oak re opens soon.

Great music, great staff, looks swank but lived in, not crowded.
