An icon since the 50s [we’re talking 1850s peeps], it may be a classic but the interiors are modern, the menu is exciting, and the vibes are on point.
It’s a wonderful location for a cocktail… hello Biscoff Espresso Martini, or a local wine. And of course, you’ve got to order those legendary hot chippies while you’re there!
The Royal also has gorgeous event spaces like the stunning Atrium and Courtyard if you’re looking for somewhere to throw your next shindig.

Located inside Troopers Rest in Braidwood, this veteran-led team distils some mighty tasty gins, vodkas, whiskeys and liqueurs.

Another great spot for a drink all year round with a fireplace and a beer garden. We’re so glad this local watering hole is finally reopened after four or so years in limbo.
They regularly change up their tap selection so there’s often something new to try and there’s often live music on the menu as well as classic pub grub.
