The [Not-so]-Royal Oaks

Youngstown's Royal Oaks bar and restaurant has been serving since 1904. Lovingly referred to patrons as "The Oaks," it's full of memories and relics from Youngstown's past. Shirts proclaim the establishment is "Where you come for the food but stay for the booze." It may not be five-star, but the food brings those who've moved away back home (mainly for the ribs) and those in the city that understand its quirkiness.
