About Le Royale

Perched on Mary Street, Le Royale channels a moody Manhattan cocktail haunt with warm table lamps, art deco lines, and live resident jazz. Guests often suit up for the trip upstairs, settling into the dimly lit room where live bands play sets dialed to an easy conversational volume. Behind the mahogany, bartenders turn out sharp classics—from a peaty Penicillin to a rum-forward Hotel Nacional and rich espresso martinis. For an evening wind-down or a celebratory nightcap, patrons pair drinks with plates of steak tartare or the venue's namesake burger.

  • Conversational Live Jazz: Resident jazz ensembles perform live sets kept at an easy volume so guests can talk across the table.
  • Art Deco Lounge Ambience: An upstairs hideaway featuring art deco styling, moody table lamp lighting, and attentive floor hospitality.
