We had a reserved table, and the food was pretty good. It wasn't just bar food, but they 'had decent salads and a nice variety to choose from on their menu. The waitress was pleasant and served without being intrusive during the show. The Royal Room is really nice on the inside. They do a lot of swing and jazz there, but it's a pretty small venue. I'ld call it more comfortable than quaint. Parking was a total pita, but the sound mixer was on point and the music was clear for every instrument with nothing over-riding anything else unnecessarily.

One process improvement since I last came for a show here is that instead of having the host check…read moreevery person in and then lead them to their seat (if reserved), they now put up name placards on the tables and let you find your own seat so the host can keep checking people in. This makes the queue run MUCH more efficiently. However, overall this place has actually gotten worse since my last review. Now, if you make a reservation (necessary for guaranteeing a chair) for only 1 person, they seat you at a high top that faces AWAY from the stage. As in, literally your back is towards the stage. If you rotate your chair, you face an aisle between you and the stage. The aisle is supposed to remain clear, but there is no real way for the staff to keep the area clear from standing-room-only attendees other than nicely asking people to move, with varying success. The venue's suggested solution is a small bench to the side of the stage, which they say you're welcome to move to if you can't see. Problem is, it seats 4-5 people max (fewer if anyone is manspreading) and is open to anyone in the room. The tables are moveable, so at minimum the venue could point them towards the stage. Fwiw none of this is the restaurant /barstaff 's fault. If anything, they seemed to agree that this is not a good setup. (Don't want to go into specifics to avoid getting any employees into trouble) A second issue with the seating is that once you sit down, the staff removes the reservation cards. This means that if you're at one of the high tops, walk in guests will ask you to trade/move spots. Don't agree to move unless you're ok with possibly ending up with no seat at all because it may be that you end up sitting in a seat that was actually reserved by a different person, from which you will be removed when they arrive. It's then up to the person with whom you traded whether or not they're feeling charitable enough to cede back your original seat. Other than the seating problems, I'd give this a 3/5 for acoustics and sound design (accounting for the fact that it's a small converted venue) and a 4/5 for the food (actually pretty good considering that it's a captive audience) TL;DR: Don't bother coming here as a single person unless you completely don't care about the artist at all, or you love the artist so much that you're willing to do anything to see them

From…read morethe moment we started planning, the team was accommodating, easy to work with, and helped make the process stress-free.

The drinks were great, the service was attentive, and everything ran smoothly throughout the night. Looking back, we're so happy we chose 1988 for such a special occasion.

Food: They've finally figured out who they are. The old menu was a mess, but now it's all about burgers, tacos, and nachos....and the burgers steal the show. Not gourmet, but hits the spot every time. Vibe: Unpretentious and comfortable, a true Columbia City fixture. You'll find locals, not tourists, and that's part of the appeal. It's got that familiar, slightly worn-in charm that doesn't need polishing. What could be better: Honestly, not much without killing what makes it work. It's not aiming for perfection, just consistency, and that's the point.

This wasn't subtle, it was multiple people openly doing cocaine lines in plain sight. I understand the nature of after-hours and that people may arrive already under the influence, but this felt far beyond that. It created an environment that didn't feel safe or controlled. What stood out most is how normalized it seemed, which raises concerns about liability and potential risks to the business. I'm surprised this hasn't drawn attention from regulators, given how visible it was. I'm sharing this because it feels like something that could become a serious issue if it continues unchecked.

They're basic bar drinks, and while they do have unique names, they're not original and just taste of cheap liquor and mixers. (Do they not squeeze their own limes?)
