The Scene
Two island bars run the length of this high-ceilinged space, separated by a narrow walkway. After-work dates sit at stools lining either bars and larger parties take refuge at bordering tables and wooden booths. The weathered-wood floors and old-time art--black-and-white photos, colorful paintings of yesteryear's sport heroes--give the place a vintage vibe. TVs flashing ESPN keep things current.
The Draw
Royal Exchange sits on prime real estate. It's a popular lunch spot, as well as post-work drink destination for predominately 30-something white-collar-types. A long line of taps highlight more than 30 draft beers, including microbrew specialties like Drop Top ale. Tickertape-shaped menus hang from corners of the island bars and are divided into stockbroker-themed sections (Blue Chip Burgers, Hot Prospects, Greenbacks). The mammoth Royal Mushroom Burger is served on a soft French roll and presents a savory challenge to finish in one sitting.

Royal Exchange is open Mon-Fri, and reserved for private parties on weekends and often closes early on slower nights. This place is great to stop in for a burger and a beer for lunch. if you are going after work for happy hour, prepare to stand or get their early to secure a table. Ladies, tis true...there are way more men in here than there are women. However, it is a fine place to have a burger at lunch during the week.

Now, I am a huge fan of pies and beer. A winning combination at any price range! They have a wide variety of beers. The pies are also spectacular... they really do it right. Mostly professionals after work come here, so they mostly interact amongst themselves, but you can built camraderie when good games are on TV.
