Mietta's Review
Dominating the Five Ways junction, the Royal Hotel is the natural meeting place of the area. The downstairs bar is filled with punters and pots on racing days and upstairs is usually a younger crowd, white wine and vodka dominated. They enjoy caesar salad and fillet steak with bearnaise sauce. The balcony gives a royal view of the comings and goings of trendy Paddo.

Sydney Eats 2008 "On a sunny day, it's particularly pleasant to while away the hours on the pleasant, sheltered balcony at the Royal"
Sydney Eats 2006 "A quiet oasis at lunch, the Royal Bar & Grill jumps at night. The grey-green room with the funny paintings of elephants disappearing upstairs, dark wooden floor, black tables and wooden chairs contrasts with the cheery view over the city"
