Pub Royale

Rarely are food and drink so well married as they are at this spot from Heisler Hospitality (Sportsman’s Club, Estereo). Modeled after an Anglo-Indian pub, the food walks a fine line between heavy and heavenly, and drinks are seemingly picked to lighten the load and brighten the flavors. The availability of the few dozen beers on tap are updated in real time via a split-flap display board; seasonal royale cups are made in collaboration with local micro-distillery Letherbee.
