Have been going to the royal for years and it definitely isn’t for everyone. Topless bar staff and strip shows are going constantly. Can be extremely busy before a game at the G and can be very difficult to move, especially during a strip show The décor is not flash and has a seedy feel about it, but that’s why people like myself love it. It isn’t pretentious and doesn’t take itself too seriously and the beer is so tasty and fresh The back bar is a fairly new addition and the smokers room looks like a prison that backs onto the alley, I feel sorry for the neighbours. At least you can now go to the toilet, which has also been renovated recently, without having to walk past all the smokers who all hang around outside the toilets in the worlds worst smoking section. I will continue to go to the royal until the day I die and hope they keep it as is and not succumb to fancying it up.

Ok, so my review could be swayed because I’m a straight female. In fact I’m not sure exactly why I’m reviewing it, but probably don’t want any poor unsuspecting people taking their folks here! The royal is a «titty» bar. Topless waitresses, strip shows, dancing on bars. All class(being sarcastic in case you didn’t notice). But hey, if that’s your thing, off you go son! The very few times I’ve been here is because I’ve been dragged by mates after a few drinks at the footy at the G. Fun Fact– they now have a bar right out the back that isn’t chock full of drunken horny men, the staff are clothed and there’s even a pool table.
