About

The Upstairs Bar at the Royal Pier is all about the view. It is a great spot for a drink and a casual bite, but the food quality is often criticized as being basic or inconsistent. Service can be slow and sometimes unfriendly, which can detract from the experience. It is a fun place for a drink with a view, but don't expect a high-end dining experience.
