Cozy bar offering good eats, a chill scene, and outdoor patio
  • Outdoor garden open all year

Surrounded by dark mahogany, amber lighting, and plentiful mirrors, this narrow and cozy space enhances the appeal of the Lower East Side. The bar offers a tasteful selection of mid-shelf liquor favorites along with inexpensive cans of farmhouse ales. The backyard, a leafy deck offering picnic tables and draft beer, encourages such luxuries as juicy angus burgers and smoking.

best burger in NYC  5 Star Rating - World class

This place had great burgers. We had to wait a long time, but it was well worth it. The fries were crispy and hot. The drinks were average. It was a bit expensive for burgers and fries, but it was tasty and worth it.

mouth watering burger 5 Star Rating - World class

found this place at random last weekend. Was just looking for a cold drink on a hot day. Drink was good. Wasn't really in the mood for a burger but boy am I glad I ordered one! The Royale with cheese was possibly the best burger I have had in the city - ever.
Waitress was so nice and the services was prompt. Good beer selection. Perfect spot for burger brunch. (try the onion rings)

Pros: Royale with cheese, service
Cons: can't really think of any

Eat Here 5 Star Rating - World class

Best burger in the city...hands down. Skip the Bistro or the Shack and head over here instead. A little out of the way for most but well worth the trek across town, these burgers are perfection on a brioche bun. Two for one happy hour beers from 4 -7 and a great patio outside for when it's nice, friendly staff and an intimate setting - Royale has it all.

Pros: fantastic burger, friendly service, outdoor seating, happiness on a bun
Cons: None!

A Beer and a Burger the all-time Classic 5 Star Rating - World class

Visited Royale last night and was happy with every single thing that they have going on. TV had the baseball game on, bartenders were courteous and efficient, Brooklyn on tap was cold and good. We had burgers and chicken fingers, both were outstanding. The burger comes open faced with lettuce,tomato and pickle, neatly stacked on a bun, and the perfect size burger. Not once does anything fall of the bun. Flavor was great too. The fingers were obviously homemade, not frozen and delicious. The crowd was a mix of people tables of good looking 20 something women, business types blowing off steam, and the typical locals who were at the bar itself, minding their own business. Truly a comfortable place with a great outdoor space, to sit and relax, absolutely would recommend it.

Pros: service, atmosphere,food
Cons: none, absolutely zero

Great Burgers, Cheap beer, Outdoor patio 4 Star Rating - Very good

I have been to Royale a few times recently with my friends and really loved it. Although I have never been there after 12am, it is a great place to sit, chill, eat a hamburger and drink some beer early in the night. The hamburgers are great and the back patio is key...expecially because I am a smoker. I wouldn't suggest it if you want to have a crazy night, but if you are looking to relax, eat good food, and drink...I highly suggest Royale. I will definitely be back again.

Pros: HAMBURGERS, Outdoor space, cheap beer
