Royal Oak:
With wallpaper like your grandmother’s parlor, Royal Oak is about the last place you would expect to find a metal dance night or such strangely crowded bathrooms. But if that’s your scene, this place will seem very promising...this place has produced many a memorable weekend. The sound system is as good as anyone's, and granted, on a full moon, your wildest dreams can come true. The problem with Royal Oak: they have more employee turnover than Yankees management from '70s. Its proximity to McCarren Park should ensure constant business, but it can be dead while the neighborhood is vibrant. If ownership stayed true to its own, it would be a mainstay. But for Williamsburg veterans, it can feel like the ballroom from The Shining. Maybe that's more of a statement about Williamsburg itself, but it's creepy how such a vibrant place can suddenly go flatline.
