Palais Royale

I went to the Palais Royale during a friend's going away pub crawl.  The bar is set off the main drag, so I wasn't surprised that I never heard of this place before.  The decor is quite dated and could use a facelift, but I suppose that is part of the charm.  They do however, have a friendly group of barkeeps as well as an ample selection of beer.  Also, the Palais Royale is certainly not as crowded as the nearby Lark Street scene, which was also refreshing.

You can order Jiffy Pop made to order. GTFO.

My two kids who live in Albany brought me here for drinks shortly before I made the move to Calif. Nice place, most likely why my kids brought me right before I left town, no one wants their Dad showing up at the same place they're hanging out in.  Good drinks, good selection of different beers. Nice friendly bartenderess. Fair prices. Kinda felt right at home here as soon as we sat down.  Thanks Kids.
