Editorial Review for Royal Tavern – by Lauren McCutcheon
In Short
The atmosphere is laid-back, with a deep-red walled, evening-only, pub with local brews and an alt-rock jukebox, opened by the owners of the Khyber. They're serious about bar grub here: Chicken wings are better than average, as are big salads. Standout sandwiches include a delicious duck club with cherry relish, a veggie concoction of spinach, goat cheese and pine nuts, and a popular brisket with cheddar with extra fries.

What to DrinkSo far, the bar serves Victory, Yuengling, Yards and Beamish for $4 a pint, plus a bargain $2 for a PBR.
Where to SitIf you're sensitive to cigarette emissions, opt for a seat in the back, where the smoke is a little less dense.

After a blast at the shore I headed over to Royal last night for some coldies. The food was perfect and the ladies were smoked too. Chal --man where were you last night. The beer was nice and COLD.

I refer to their burger as the "S*x Burger" Why? Because it's better than s*x. This is absolutely the best and most addictive burger I have ever had.
