La Royal Lounge

This place is run by the very friendly LGBT club "Fiesta" with a bit of a less gay feeling. Karaoke night is always really fun. The place is old and could use a little sprucing but sometimes those are the best. Smoking is allowed so be prepared. One of the bartenders is in love with my boyfriend and gave us a few shots and even bought him a beer....how sweet? ;)

"who are you and what do you want" is all they can say

The Department of Business and Professional Regulation's Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco (ABT) obtained warrants for nine defendants involving 12 different charges.  The charges include sale of a controlled substance, unnatural and lascivious acts, exposure of sexual organs, sale of alcoholic beverages to persons under 21, and possession of alcoholic beverages by persons under 21.  ABT agents had LaRoyale, located on Harrison Avenue, Panama City Beach, under surveillance for months.  

"DBPR is dedicated to maintaining the safety of our citizens and visitors in Florida's licensed establishments," said Interim Secretary Chuck Drago.  "I thank the Bay County State Attorney's Office for their partnership and assistance with this important enforcement action."

ABT received an anonymous tip that lewd and lascivious behavior, narcotic activity and underage possession of alcohol were taking place at LaRoyale.  ABT agents, along with investigators from the State Attorney's Office, began an undercover investigation into the establishment.  Agents were able to purchase different types of illegal drugs, observe the use of illegal drugs, and observe several accounts of lewd and lascivious behavior as well as alcoholic beverages being served to underage persons.  

The Division intends to file administrative charges against the alcoholic beverage licensee.  The individuals arrested in conjunction with the investigation are listed below.  Two defendants have not been located.
