Royal Oaks Bar & Grill

This place totally rules.

Great food especially the wings, good service.

When I first drove by this place, scouting out the neighborhood for other reasons, I thought that Royal Oak was another corner bar that had long closed. Needless to say, a friend took me here for some of the best ribs and cole slaw that I've had in a good while. It's a total dive establishment - it doesn't look like much on the outside, but it's got a lot of flavor and history on the inside.

Royal Oak is the oldest bar in Youngstown - the first to reopen after Prohibition ceased, and it has its old timers that come and go with ease.

Just be sure to not mention the word "basketball" during the 24 Hours of Daytonna, and you'll be all right.
