I had an awesome time at this place! Even though it's never fun losing on the pokies, Dee made us feel welcome and displayed professionalism and respect, and always with a smile 😊. It's rare to find great staff, if only they were all like her!! Thank you Dee, and the R.E.

If I could leave more than a 5 star review I would. I went into the gaming room and was approached by the gaming manager Dee with the warmest smile and very bubbly personality, I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service. I will definitely be back to the Re in the future.

"Wow, what an exceptional dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish expertly prepared and presented. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met.

But what really made our visit stand out was the fantastic atmosphere. The venue was stylish and welcoming, with a great vibe that made us feel right at home.

A special mention must go to Ash Harding, the Venue Manager, who was instrumental in making our experience so memorable. Ash's attention to detail, warm hospitality, and dedication to excellence are a credit to the establishment.

Overall, we can't fault this place and can't wait to return. 5 stars isn't enough - we'd give it 10 if we could! Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks again to Ash and the team for a truly unforgettable evening."

Came in for a cheeky feed and you did not disappoint! Had a steak and it was cooked to perfection. Cheap beers, amazing food, great atmosphere and fantastic service, what more could you want! Will definitely be back cheers team!

Service and vibe is good but the vegetarian nachos were not worth it for >$20. I could have thrown something better together at home in 5 minutes.
The owner said he will look into this so I have updated my review.

I really love the sandwich. I tried lots of sandwiches. This is one of my favourite sandwiches. And the atmosphere is amazing too.

the RE is the idealistic place for a classic pub feed and drinks. service is on point every time and trivia is unparallelled. would recommend coming to trivia on tuesdays and grabbing a parmi

Love attending on any given night. Great vibes with a variety of customers, especially on a Tuesday evening for trivia with Scotty. It's great seeing a small business doing so well in this economical climate. Great staff members and customers.

Great little pub. Food is nice and tasty and simple pub food classics. Steaks are good, chicken wings are great. Pricing is on par with other pubs for food and portions are on the larger size.
Beer has good deals with under $12 jugs of certain popular beers.
Beers a re cold and been fresh when we have been. We go there at least once a trip to town when staying nearby.
Last one the only issue was the online ordering did not send all the drinks to the bar staff. They did make them for us as we had paid but the menu it app lacks a little like in many places.
But order at the bar and it is fast and staff are great.

Nice relaxed atmosphere with multiple areas. Chill in the beer garden and watch sports on the big screen. Play a game of pool or splurge on some gaming options.

Friendly place and nearby to Toowong train station. Food is good. Only downside is the rump steak has been overcooked the last 3 visits. Ordered med rare, but not pink at all. Salad and chips are good.

Love this establishment- it's been around for ever. The daytime service (typically Neena is on the sports bar side) is great. Worth a stop in to whet the whistle!

Neena is a wonderful day shift bartender. She always has a smile on her face and has a friendly personality. It is a great place to relax and have a knockoff or a full-on night out.

Dinner was great. Tasty, fresh, yummy.
A bit dark inside but if that's the mood you want RE has it. Sports screens abound but not overly noisy.

Our first visit to the Royal on a quiet Sunday night in April, was for drinks and a meal, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. It was good to see that these guys take their Covid-19 safety responsibilities seriously, with sign-in required and masks "de rigueur" at all times while moving around in the pub.

The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient, and everything ran smoothly for us from beginning to end. After drinks, we went back to the bar counter, where Chloe took our order of beer battered fish and chips, a rump steak with chips and vegetables and a serving of garlic bread for an entree. It took only a few minutes from time of ordering, until the meals were delivered to our table, in the correct order, and nicely presented on stylish, modern crockery. First came the garlic bread, followed by the two main meals. The garlic bread was a generous serve, with four chunky pieces of light and fluffy bread, smothered in creamy, moist garlic butter. The perfect way to start a meal. My fish was succulent and tender, and served with a nice selection of colourful vegetables and crispy chips. My wife's rump was tasty and well cooked, just the way she likes it, and accompanied with a tangy mushroom sauce to spice it up, plus chips, and a serving of fresh, wholesome salad. We both enjoyed our meals, and at $53 for the lot, excellent value for money.

The Royal is a spacious and airy venue, with lots of room to spread out and large comfy tables with high bar-stool style seating. There are plenty of TVs around the place for those who like their sport, but overall, although not sports-lovers, we still found the ambience to be perfect for us: casual, laid back and relaxed. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves in this pleasant, homely and safe atmosphere.

There are two lots of toilets, both clearly signposted and easy to find. Like the rest of the place, they're clean and well provisioned.

Having just recently moved to this area, I'm pleased that we've discovered the Royal, which will be our local pub from now on! And it's a breeze to get to by public transport or car, being conveniently located just a few minutes walk from the popular Toowong Shopping Village, where you can enjoy two hours free parking any week day, or unlimited free weekend parking after 6.00pm.

Came in for one drink on the new Trivia night and stayed for four hours. The funniest Games night I've ever seen!

Positively surprised with well priced food and drinks. Decent variety of vegetarian and vegan options. Food was of a pub standard but that's what this place is.
Staff was really friendly and we even managed to get ourselves into karaoke night. Would not mind coming back.

Hard to review because it is honestly not a place I would "recommend". However I'd still go for a cold one because its kind of the local for the toowong business district. It isn't the cleanest or friendliest, you certainly would "dine" here. But it does the job

I had a bad experience going there. I have an approved medical exemption not to wear a mask. The bar staff got into an argument and politely to her no. She stopped after I told her about the exemption. Then she a 5 minute conversation with her colleague and took her mask off. She was very nasty in her tone of voice and phone later to complain. The manager did nothing about it. I didn't even get an apology.

Old place but i love character. Shout out to Lisa in particular (manager) she has amazing service and personality. Would probably be average experience without her.
Awesome $9.90 jugs of beer special whilst nrl is on. Will be average when that ends but always has other drinks specials 🤙

Great venue for watching sport and fights lot of big screens, they could however look after the pool tables better

James gives exceptional service beyond what is required for a pub venture. I believe that he will go very far as he has socialising and bar-tending characteristics. I have seen this man on multiple occasions and his attitude has always been consistent. He is an asset to the RE.

As much as I love coming to the RE with friends, the line is often over an hour to get in on a Sunday and no matter how hard you Pre before going the feeling is often gone by the time you get to the front. I will grant that they offer reasonably priced drinks, and many friends who have had food at the venue have described it as "not bad". Ultimately, if you can get into the bar with some friends it's a good time, if not, it's worth trying the Regatta, which is a 2 minute walk down the road.

Edit: why do you have a phone number if no one answers the phone. Unprofessional.

Bloody great tucker. Succulent burgers and chips with enough salt to let your heart know it's alive. Great Wednesday night out

Cannot recommend this local icon enough!!! It is such a fantastic local community pub. Run superbly by Lisa who is backed by quite possibly the best team of people I've ever had the pleasure to know. It's a home away from home!
Can also highly recommend the food - Chris cooks a phenomenal steak - menu is varied with great specials.
Please support them!

My local pub. Staff have always been great. Food is well priced, top quality and a really good variety. If you want to have a enjoyable meal and a chat to the bar staff this is the place. Highly recommended.

I don't often write reviews and the RE is a great place with a good atmosphere but a member of my group was treated very unfairly last Friday. After paying $15 entry for all 7 of us to attend a uni event, half an hour later one of our group was escorted out of the premises by a security guard for throwing a sweat wristband, of all things, into the air. He received no warning whatsoever, had not been drinking at all and the security guard did not explain his reasoning so we all decided to leave. A little bit of respect to at least explain what he had done wrong would have been nice. Who knew you could be thrown out for throwing a wristband into the air...

We had a staff Christmas party here upstairs the manager, functions manager and bar staff were so easy to deal with. A fabulous night touted as the best yet due to the amazing food which came out all night and the friendly staff, being able to have the upstairs area to ourselves and to control the music also! We will be back ! Thanks Mark and Lisa and the kitchen and bar crew ! Lyn ISHS social com

I would vote 0 stars if possible. Was witness to a racially fuelled exchange between one of patrons and my friend. Once flagging this, the manager did nothing & kicked us out instead for no justified reason. This is the second time something of this nature at this establishment has happened in my presence. Absolutely disgusting & please do not give this pub your money. There are plenty of incredible, inclusive and nondiscriminatory venues around Brisbane.
