This is a amazing hole in the wall, however pretty nice local bar in a strip mall. It is close the the West Covina mall and closer to the Edward's theater at the lakes. I've been coming to this place for many years.. Its always welcoming and best bartenders and servers. Great happy relaxing crowd. a little dark, however, pretty big place. The food is amazing!! they have steak and lobster (very tasteful !), shrimp, Chile Verde burritos are the absolute best I've ever had. I hear burgers are good also. Great drinks, great juke box touchtunes for your preferred music. always a good time here ! Special shout out to Liliana, the bartender that made me feel so welcome and comfortable. cook is amazing also !! read more

Never tried the food but maybe one day . I recently moved here and this was one of the first bars we tried out .Service is good when there is only one bartender it goes as it should . Ambiance is typical bar . I enjoy it being more laid back . Also love the way when you sign up on a white board for pool to play more places should pick that up read more

We've seen this place a lot but never went in. We live in the area and go to the mall, theatre, farmers market etc. We decided to give it a try. We went in for drinks and the ambiance was full of energy. Lots of groups watching football, drinking and eating. They have darts, billiards, modern jukebox. We sat at the bar and ordered some drinks. The bartenders were super friendly and quick. We didn't know there was a food menu and we were pleasantly surprised. We ordered a burger and a burrito. They were both great and nice portioned. We will definitely come back! read more

Thank you, Denese!!! And I also got to play my music on their jukebox! Will be back for sure! read more

Ok, this was a total surprise. My wife and I try and go on our dates. How I bumped into this place was just a simple search on Yelp. Well Yelp delivered. The drinks were amazing, perfectly prepared ( wife is kind of picky with her drinks). We each ordered steak and lobster ( on the happy hour menu ) that didn't disappoint either. Everything surpassed our expectations. To walk in and have no expectations and be blown away with the drinks , food and the service from Lily and Gloria, thank you so much. Wife said it first "Were coming back" read more

My friends and I went out late on a Monday. Boy am I glad the Royal Lounge is open on Mondays! We were celebrating my friends birthday and it was the best night ever! Lisa is amazing! She is so sweet and took really good care of us. The music is pay for credits, so once we got some good jams going that we liked the night was set! The drinks were great! And it was a great experience! We are definitely going back and I recommend this place as there's tons of space and tables and activities but overall it's really chill so a good place to go with friends! read more

Well, it's a true dive bar and budget friendly. I went in because I had a pop up ad on my FB feed and saw they had a $28 steak and lobster happy hour daily special. The poor girl (only 1 lady was there) was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. It was Friday night and maybe 30-40 patrons were there so I was being patient/understanding on the time delay for service. I was happy to pay only $28 for the Steak and lobster. Lobster came out great. Steak on the other hand, mine was over cooked. My GF's was undercooked but I didn't want to make a stink about it being they were short staffed. I won't go back for the food but I definitely will go back to shoot pool and have beers. Staff were nice but the chef needs some help. They have an online music box which is cool. cheap buckets of domestic beer and it worth another try. Just not steak for sure... read more

The kitchen here is like finding a unicorn. Good food at a fair price. You can't find that nowadays. My $20.99 steak meal was huge and cooked perfectly medium! My bf's $9.99 burger was perfectly seasoned. He devoured the whole thing in minutes. This bar should have a line out the door for their prices. I'll def be back to get my steak fix. Kitchen hours: M-Thurs noon - 10pm Fri-Sat noon - 11pm Sunday noon - 8pm read more

Who would have known you can get a great steak and lobster at Royal Lounge! Started to go with friends here to hang and have drinks. Or to celebrate birthdays. Get little busy but service is good. Come on karaoke night to dance and have a good time. read more

Food is really good. The alcohol selection could be better. Burrito is good and their fries are bomb.

Great karaoke KJ, Stan. Plays some excellent music between singers. Pulls out some great music videos. Very entertaining.

They water down their top shelf here. Bought some Blantons and it tasted like brown flavored water. Blantons is my regular and I collect whiskeys and bourbons. Straight up theft. read more

It WREAKS like cigarettes, bathrooms are unkept and the customer service is below bar minimum. The waitress Lisa needs to be fired or seriously retrained on all forms of customer service/over all etiquette . She had the audacity to tell me that I should go down the street for asking if they had something on the menu (I was a first timer). Mind you, it wasn't packed and she wasn't even busy. It seemed like she was more concerned with appeasing and tending to "locals". read more

West Covina's very own CHEERS! Great bartenders! Great food! Great people & atmosphere! read more

As someone who lives in the city, I like to support local spots but Royal always has me 50/50. The staff is amazing, drinks are great. As a singer, if they have karaoke...I'm there. R&B is my style. I'm not a fan of the karaoke host they have. He's not friendly, has no songs and always has an attitude for some reason with me. Messed up 5 times on my song causing the bar to wonder if he's doing it on purpose. Royal does need an upgrade to the host, but hey, if you need someone to rock the house and bring in customers....let me know! read more

I have never been disrespected like this before. I have had party's here and work party's here, they would not let us in on an empty Saturday night, because the so called bartenders didn't want us in. Rude and could not give any reason at all, why we couldn't go in. I asked them to show me a video why we couldn't go in and they wouldn't. It felt racial and I'm disgusted I've spent money in this bar. read more

Awesome food great prices great atmosphere enjoy going there when I'm in town they even have karaoke

Went for st Patrick's day. The crowd was super nice, friendly staff and patrons. Got a green beer which was nice and refreshing. Order some chips and salsa and guacamole. The salsa was spicy and flavorful & the guacamole was delicious read more

Lisa is the best! Seriously. She's the bar mom you wish was your mom. This is the cleanest, chillest, and vibey dive bar I've ever been too. Came here with my hometown friends during Xmas break and was not disappointed. The drinks are reasonable priced and pool is only $.75 read more

The 3.5 Star rating is pretty accurate, in my and my wife's opinion. We've been here a couple times now and enjoy the atmosphere and food. I consider this place more of a bar, than restaurant, although our latest visit included a much-expanded menu, so maybe they're working on that side of the house. There's a couple pool tables, several TVs (usually showing sports), and music/dancing. Friday night they had karaoke. It's a slightly more mature crowd than some of the other bars in West Covina. DRINIK: Full bar, however no beer on tap. Import beers, at least the two Mexican beers we had, were $4.50/bottle. FOOD: We ordered Shrimp Costa Azul (bacon wrapped shrimp), served with a side of rice, beans, and a simple salad with ranch dressing for $15.99. Both plates were consistently prepared, served hot, and everything was quite tasty. We've also had the Steak and Baked Potato special before and that was similarly good. Food prices are very reasonable. SERVICE: It was a busy Friday evening and they had three people at the bar, but only one young lady serving the floor. She hustled and was very pleasant, despite being a little overwhelmed. I think during a peak time like this, they could have used at least one more person waiting tables. The Royal Lounge is situated in the middle of a strip shopping center with a lot of businesses open during the evening, including the movie theaters across the street, so parking can sometimes be challenging. Overall, if you're looking for a reasonable meal or just a fun time with friends, this is a good place to try out. read more

Royal Lounge - Shrimp Costa Azul (bacon-wrapped shrimp), served with rice & beans and a small salad for $15.99. - Lounges Near Me - West Covina, California

This past Saturday night was wonderful at this establishment. My personal shout out goes to the two amazing bartenders that were there serving the entire night. These two young ladies truly represent the meaning of excellent customer service! No matter how busy they got, they still kept a smile and delivered only the best. This evening was date night for my husband and I and these ladies made it memorable! Thank you ladies for caring about customers! They truly deserve recognition for bring so nice and attentive! read more

So glad to land here for some tacos and food patio style. Denese was on feck as bartender tonight and she delivered on point: prompt service, she's masked up too. Outside station with hand santizer,,,social distancing, nice umbrellas for respite from the sun during daytime. Heaters too( overhead and near the entrance). This establishment is zoned( licensed) for food and drink...that makes a big difference,,huge difference. I ordered 4 asada tacos: delicious ! They also have shrimp...camarones a la diabla. In these Covid times supporting your local establishments( aka: joints) is desired & crucial. Come here, eat here, drink here ! read more

Not many people know you can great food here. Including tacos on Tuesday and the signature dishes by the chef is always great to try.

First off let me say ! Ask for Leondra! Sweetest most attentive bartender ever!. I work in the restaurant industry and her vibe, comfort, hospitality was beyond amazing. Because of her I am officially a regular. Made me such a good drink!, and recommend good tacos! She honestly gave me comfort that each time I come here in the evening i am going to get great service from her and the girls. P.S ask her to sing Amy Winehouse! read more

I've been here a few times in the past year. It is an older crowd but don't let that change your mind. It's always fun between karaoke & the pool room. Shout out to the cool guy who introduced me to this place. Overall it's a cool spot to hangout after a movie or shopping. The bathroom is tiny & needs some functionality upgrades but it works. read more

Literally Royal Lounge is my go-to whenever I'm in the mood for a drank. And it's so convenient...a few stores down from where I work. Best believe I'm there when I get off. Lol! The atmosphere here is so chill! Good energy! The bartenders are great too! Shout out to Lisa and Leondra for hooking your girl up! Very generous with the alcohol. Long islands are fire! The crowd is more older, more mature so you never have to worry about drama. People are just there to have a good time, which I can appreciate. Last but not least...a HUGE shoutout to Adam! Thank you for keeping us safe from all the drunkards. Lol! It's me....I'm the drunkard. The Royal Lounge is the best!!!!!! Oh yeah, one more thing. I miss the dancing and DJ!!!! Can't wait to be wildin soon! read more

Royal Lounge - Lounges Near Me - West Covina, California

Don't Karaoke here! It's a busy bar featuring two pool tables, diverse crowd, well priced drinks, a kitchen and karaoke. If you're interested in karaoke night with friends- this is not the spot. There is a Karaoke Nazi in control. We were there three hours and didn't get to sing once. The guy in control only lets his people sing. I saw the same people sing song-after-song. Even the lady bartenders sing before new customers on the list. As far as the bar goes, it's a local dive-bar with cheap drinks and a diverse crowd with a kitchen- normal. I would have given this place a 3.5 stars on the dive-bar scale, but I went there for karaoke, so I'm giving it a 1. That was disappointing. read more

It seems like a fun place. I was excited to eat here and try their lobster. Hubby and I ordered drinks and lobster with a potato. However 35 min later we asked if our food was anywhere near ready, the bartender although nice lady replied "you haven't gotten it yet" we replied no and then 10-15 min later their cook came out and said they ran out. Although everyone was nice I was disappointed in their lack of communication. read more

I agree with the people bashing the Karaoke Guy. He is rude and doesn't follow the Karaoke singing list right!!! He chooses the SAME PEOPLE over and over and doesn't give other singers a chance. He does NOT interact with the customers or the Karaoke singers, and that's not good. The people singing want to be acknowledged and like interaction which makes it more FUN. I saw a change in that place for the worse! We were celebrating my Birthday and the Margaritas tasted like they used cheap Tequila, not good at all. If you want more customers and a better crowd, GET RID OF THAT KARAOKE GUY, SERIOUSLY!!! SORRY, NOT SORRY read more

Double standard!! Fuck this place! Such disrespect. They looked at the girls ready to come in but once they saw us they had a look of disgust. Gay or not it's a double standard. I brought my husband to hangout with my family and they pushed us away read more
