I had planned on going to Cresta's 2211 Club next, but one glance in the Royal Oak and we decided we had to try it out. Another corner bar with lots of glass, the Royal Oak is a thing to behold. The interior is decked out in a garish Victorian style with antiquey couches, large wood tables and lots of plants. The lighting was really nice, with lots of backlighting and other indirect sources that give the space a warm glow.
Missy had been here once before on a more crowded night and said it was a total meat market of ghastly Marina types. But, it was early and we pretty much had the run of the place. The only odd thing about the place was a rather large, Russian-limo-driver looking guy who gave us all a stern once over when we came in, then stood awkwardly nearby looming over us for a while after we sat down. We couldn't figure out if he was a bouncer or a slightly mentally challanged regular, but he was harmless if not a bit disconcerting. Anyway, we found a nice corner couch and table, had a few overpriced cocktails and then moved on.
