Very cool place to hang out. The food is really tasty and the bar is super nice, love the decor. We were there for a hip hop night, beats were really good.
It's my favorite hangout in Nelson. Whether it's a pint and some yummy food or electric live music and atmosphere you crave, this place has it all!
Buckle up! We came up for our Anniversary weekend which happened to be Easter weekend. While out and about on Friday (Good Friday) we were asking people where we should hang out as some places were closed and almost everyone said The Royal. So naturally we went. Upon arrival we were met with some awesome door guys who told us there was live music that night so there would be a cover. NBD we like to appreciate local talent but then these guys hand me ear plugs and I thought WTF I am 35 not 80 but didn't say anything. We grab drinks and were able to snag a table as we were a little early to the show. Oh man little did we know this night would be the night we would attend our first death metal concert. Did not have that on my bingo card for the trip but boy did we have a great time! Yes - I did use the ear plugs.
One of the coolest / best venues in western Canada! The sound is always sooo good. The food, vibes, service, entertainment is always unreal! It’s a safe space for any and all folks to come together for all sorts of fun! Without this community staple of a venue / bar / restaurant Nelson would NOT be the same. Long live the Royal! If you go to Nelson, BC you MUST stop here for an evening of drinks, food and entertainment! Do yourself a favour and don’t forget it
I’ve only been here once but it was a good experience. The drinks were really great and the chicken was amazing!! There was no one inside which made perfect sense because the patio had a great ...
Fantastic spot for drinks and live music - the whole team at the Royal did an amazing job with the update, the place is super clean and bright, sound is great throughout the space and they've been doing an awesome job of bringing in a huge variety of local music. Great beer selection with fair prices and regulary changing options, and a nice simple food/appy menu with an effort to source local ingredients! Old school video games in one corner, a proper pool table, some different corner booths to relax with friends, proper stage/dancefloor, great use of this awesome heritage building. Really positive place to spend a night, you can feel how much the new owners care about it and how happy all the staff are, everyone i've met here has been having a great time, really cannot recommend it enough, 10/10!
I'm honestly just amazed at how much fun this was. The bartender Ostara was extremely welcoming to my sobriety and their orange dreamsicle mocktail was really good, as was the buffalo chicken burger. The music was awesome too and I'm just so thankful I blindly picked this venue for my first night out in Canada
Went here with my friends while we were all fighting for our lives after a night out drinking. Our server Hayley was amazing and had a great personality! She made me the BEST Caesar that definitely cured my hangover. The crispy chicken burger was the best I've ever had! Definitely worth visiting!
