I have been going to the Royal forever and have always been treated extremely well. The staff is great great drink specials. Fun place to hangout.

I see it from outside all the time and it looks like a lovely place to hang out and have fun with friends! They have really cool looking lights that change color all the time. Unfortunately they have a policy where you have to be 21 to enter so 1 Star

I’ve always had some fairly bad experiences here. On New Year’s Eve I was kicked out of the bar when I confronted the bartender for letting her friend cut the line waiting for drinks. The bartender then charged my card for both my drink, and her friend who I did not know and definitely didn’t approve of. The bartender kicked me out when I told her I didn’t approve of the charge and wouldn’t sign the slip, and tried to take my credit card from me. Poor management and shady workers. Tried contacting the bar multiple times, no way to, and they don’t care.

I was asked to leave this bar tonight for “looking like I was giving a lap dance” to my boyfriend who is in a wheelchair. To explain a little more in depth, the bar had no place for me to sit where I could even talk to my boyfriend comfortably.The main area where they were hosting karaoke tonight has no seats except barstools... barstools are much higher than the average height of a wheelchair. So... in order to even sit down and look my boyfriend in the eye, it was necessary to sit on his lap or bend over. Upon my arrival at the bar, I checked the entire first floor for normal chairs, but all chairs were bar height. Tonight was karaoke night. I sang a couple songs. Danced. Had a good time. I wanted to give my boyfriend a kiss... in order to do so, I had to be on the same level as he was... so I sat on his lap on his wheelchair facing him. Yes, it was intimate... a little bit sexy even... but I wasn’t anywhere near giving him a lap dance. I was completely clothed and he wasn’t pulling any of my clothing off. We kissed briefly... next thing I know the bouncer is asking us to come have a chat with him and the bartender. They asked me to stop “giving lap dances” because other customers might get offended. I asked if anyone specifically said that they were offended. No. I asked if the they themselves were offended. Also no. But regardless, we were asked to leave. I watched other people in that bar tonight kiss their significant other. I watched partners dance and rub up on each other while doing it. I can honestly say that what I did was no where near as provocative. My behavior was indeed mild and innocent, far from seductive or inappropriate. I’m disappointed with the blatant discrimination and clear lack of judgment of the bar’s staff especially since they admitted that no one was actually offended by my actions. Shame on them for their lack of perspective and sensitivity to our unique situation!

Been kicked out countless timess, someone stole 20bucks from me. But I met my girlfriend here and I love her very much, 5 stars!

We have gone here multiple times and the staff has always been great, but last night was awful. They had a new bouncer, big guy with a beard and wore a beanie(not Dalton) and he questioned all of us and got snappy if we didn’t know exactly what we drank at the other bars. Let’s be real if your friends buy you drinks your not going to know exactly what you have been drinking. He allowed all of us in but the one guy we were with. I have never had this experience before and it makes me not want to go back. We went to two other clubs with no problems.

Two words to describe this place: pure trash. I cant think of one positive thing to say about this dump.

Ya know, wasnt my favorite place in the beginning, probably because theres such a bad word around about it, but its come to be one of my favorite bars for many reasons. stupid cheap drinks and karaoke 3 times a week, beer pong, and some wonderful staff. 10 stars if I could.

If I could give this place Zero stars I would. December 2018 one of the royal night club bouncers kicked my friend out on the terms that his shirt did not meet dress code requirements. Mind you my friend was wearing a sleeveless black tank top, no huge arm holes, no v-neck, In fact the neck line was high. The royal night club does not have a website with dress code requirements, nor have they posted anything on fb or other social media sites in reference to having a dress code. So careful ladies and gentlemen, dont show off your sexy shoulders!!!

My friend, who is transgender, went to use the men’s restroom and was forcefully kicked out. I have never been so horrified in my life. The bouncer claimed because my fiend looked like a girl that he would not be allowed to use the bathroom in their establishment. The royal has exhibited blatant transphobia. I feel sick for my friend. I figured bars in Bellingham would be more forward thinking.

I come here because of Vaughn. He is attentive and enthusiastic. There was a huge line and he paid attention to us. We will be back, and looking for him

Changes my review because this place thinks they are a high end club. Over priced cover. Gross and dirty interior. I avoid it at all costs

Great music, great drinks, great service

Stop playing Bruno Mars pleaseeeeeeeee

I got dress coded for not having my shoulders covered. Are you kidding? Trash bar, outdated policy’s, 10/10 never going again.

This place is honestly trash. Avoid it like the plague. Terribly long lines to only be double charged or get a watered down drinks.

Unfriendly staff, $30 for 4 Coors and they double charged my tab. Very disappointing and will not be returning.

They have been regularly letting in underage individuals into the bar, terrible staff, Ive been hearing the individuals bragging about getting into the Royal (theyre 19) and using the wrist stamps from the Royal to get into other bars downtown. I plan to contact the management about these individuals.

Double charged my tab as well! Young lady in clear glasses.

Normal College club with plenty of sex and drugs going around.

Trash

Not open when they say they are.
