The Royale

3132 S. Kingshighway, St. Louis, MO 63139
(314) 772-3600
Bars are like people – some you can see weekly for years and never get enough, and others you can know intimately inside of fifteen minutes. But the Royale is an instant classic; we could visit once a day and never tire of the joint. In fact, since it opened in 2005, we've been dropping in every week, if only to keep our “haven't been to the Royale” dermatitis at bay. Though South Kingshighway proper is only a neighborhood in the loosest sense of the word, the Royale rests at the confluence of too many hip nabes to be overlooked. It's a hop and two skips from Shaw, a leisurely stroll from Southwest Garden and just down the way from Tower Grove South. It hosts a number of must-do events, from the yearly Derby party where folks don their best hats and Gatsby-esque glad rags for the races, to Cocktail Museum Sundays, when the nimble-minded barkeeps delve into the past and mix up obsolete quaffs that'll have you rethinking your old standby.
