I attended their Wednesday evening Bingo. I had so much fun! I didn't win but was good luck for a…read morefriend. The people working were very helpful and friendly. For the basic package plus a couple extra games and a dabber cost me around $21.(the progressive is a must, right now they're at 57 numbers called and jackpot is around $1500.) There's an upper and lower level, I seat in the lower, have no Idea how many people the upper seats. It's a fun time.

This is such a fun concept. Part sports bar, part games room, part axe throwing place. There is a…read morelot going on and somehow it all works. The food is not the main attraction here, but we thought it was surprisingly pretty good. The burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The garlic green beans were delicious, but the portion size was comical. There were seven tiny green beans on the plate. We did order a second round to get our fill of veggies. They have a "gamemaster" who helps you select from the hundreds of games they have available. You can reserve a game table online in advance for $3 per person and that reserves you two hours of game play time. The restrooms are a little nightmarish. Literally in a dark, damp basement. Other than that, really enjoyed our evening here.

I got the cauliflower pita and the pita was horribly burnt. I'm shocked it was sent out. There was…read morea very small portion of cauliflower too. It was $19 ffs. I was comped but it took out waitress at the bar forever to come back and see there was an issue. Everything is ridiculously expensive here. $12 for a side of fries!

A cozy little den on one side with shelves full of books. They provide comfortable leather chairs and beautiful wood dining tables for your comfort. There's even an old style English phone booth...with a working phone! Friday night is special with a fish fry including chips (ya know, fries) and only an authentic British fish fry would include mushy peas. I like the malt liquor for my fries and sneak a little lemon and tartar sauce on my cod. Head up to the full bar for something cold and wet to wash it all down. They have plenty of room with several tables to accommodate. But you need to hurry, rumor has it they've sold the building to Kenny's liquor shoppe, next door.

Heard recommendations about the fish and chips open to public on Fridays at 5-7pm. They were not…read morewrong. The buildling can be easily missed in the evening for the area is not lighted well. Parking and entrance door is in back. So, you order from the bar your food and drinks. They hand you a food ticket. Then, you walk over to the sweet older ladies (in aprons that are running the food from the kitchen window) and hand them your food ticket. They may or may not ask your name so they may call your name or what is in your order when it is ready to pick up. It took about 10 min for our orders to be called. They do not use cod (heaven forbid!), rather large pieces of hake and it is hand-battered. The fish was very tender, delicious, and flavorful. Batter was light and crisp. The dish comes with slaw and bread. We got the mushy peas for the whole cultural experience. We also got the steak pie. It was like a beef potpie without the veggies, packed with steak and gravy in a very tender crust. All were very filling and delish. Besides the fish and chips, a major highlight was how friendly the members were, welcoming us so warmly. The sweet older ladies that served us are the the cutest, charming ladies with their accents. Whenever I ESPECIALLY hear a British accent, I feel like I am in a movie or TV show. It is just slightly surreal. I want them to keep talking to hear how British they are. I am just having my own personal show. Anyway... We will definitely come back.

We stopped in here while we waited for D'Amato's restaurant to open. What's super convenient is…read morethat Gracie's and D'Amato's share the space together. They have a number of craft cocktails that are absolutely delicious. I had the Cherry Bourbon Mule and my wife had a Dirty Martini - both were awesome. In fact, I had 2 more Mules afterwards if that tells you anything. The bartender was great - responsive, cordial and even humorous. When we come back to Royal Oak, we will certainly be back. Give it a try!

A shared Caesar salad and zoodle/pasta dish later and we are sufficiently suffonsified. House made sauces are delicious (we tried the marinara but I'd like to try palomino next time) and there is no pressure to drink like fish or overindulge in food. DJ was setting up as we were leaving, so I'm sure the hospitable atmosphere only improves. We'll return.
