We're always trying new places so, we got delivery from here for the first time.I ordered the won ton tacos and I was quite impressed with them. They tasted kind of like a hibachi or a stir fry thrown into a fried won ton shell. I also had the Rueben egg rolls and was also impressed with them as well. If you love Rueben sandwiches, you'll love these. Their 1000 island dressing that came with the egg rolls tasted homemade because it didn't taste like any I've had before.It's bar food. However, it's good bar food.

The wings were gross, soggy, and flavorless... bland isn't even a word to describe them... and the sauce was just oil with a dab of "buffalo"... how do you mess up wings THAT BAD like bffr

Only found the place by doing a search on dive bars. Royal Inn Bar was hiding in plain sight for years and I never noticed it. The bartender was cool and folks inside were so welcoming it felt like we've been coming here for years. They had daily specials for food and drinks. From what I saw they had a small menu with the usual bar food: burgers, wings, wraps...etc. I'm not sure if they have a happy hour but the drinks prices were more than reasonable. They also have Keno so you can gamble a little AND help the state of Michigan...take your money quicker! :) Royal Inn ticked all my dive bar needs and I'll be back again on my next visit to the mitten state.

Had to wait for a table at Clawson steakhouse so we stopped in for a drink. Royal Inn is a classic dive bar.After dinner we went back and had some cheap drinks and listened to music on the juke box and had a good time. Bartender was great and it was like being at someones home.Don`t find many places like this anymore.

Great dive bar in a city of bars wanting to be more than they are. Regular crowd with a lid back attitude. Have only been during the day so can't comment on the night time.

The Royal is mostly a neighborhood bar with lots of regulars. The feel can change from night to night depending on who is hanging out there. Some nights it's quiet, other nights a dance party might break out. The bartenders are usually good and once you get to know them, very friendly. Pete in particular is awesome and never stops hustling. The drinks are reasonably priced, but I gotta say, I don't like their mixers, whatever they're using in the mix guns taste like crap. I bring my own mix sometimes. They always have a drink special posted on their board. Don't come here for high end mixologist drinks though, it's not that kind of place. They have a pool table & a digital juke box, there's usually some good music playing. Some of the guys that hang out here are in the music business so they play some good stuff. They remodeled a few years back and put in a kitchen - but the food leaves a lot to be desired. Nachos are a safe bet.That's about it, a basic bar, and if you can find a spot at the bar, you can probably find someone to strike up a conversation with.

Its a dive bar, but a nice dive bar. Lots of regulars. Friendly staff. I had their burger and it was great. I want to try more on their menu. As for covid? Very few masks, and very little distancing. I may hold off till the covid situation is behind up. The guy who cooks and runscfood DID have a mask on though and i was glad to see that. Pool table & Golden Tee machine. Eish they had tavern trivia, but no luck.

So we only had drinks. Honestly the staff were great even though we aren't regulars which seemed to be most of the people there. Good prices on beer too. Small little place but my kind of dive bar. Everyone there wanted to socialize and talk which is great if you are alone.

The Swiss mushroom burger was a sloppy mess, that did not taste good. The fries were not good.

Was a Tuesday, didn't try the food, but $8.75 for a "craft" 22 oz was a little strong. Could see this being the place to be under the right conditions/crowd, but we will see.
