How we score

The editorial take

Royale Cinema Lounge pairs its cinema programming with a drinks list built for moviegoing. Ten named cocktails, including a Margarita, Moscow Mule, Paloma, and Manhattan, are priced $8.00 to $10.00. Draft beers cover indoor and outdoor cinemas, with a Dunkel draft at $5.00 and 16-ounce and 20-ounce drafts at $5.00 and $7.00. Wine is available by the glass or bottle, and Buffalo Trace is poured as a $5.00 shot. The program is broad enough for a group with mixed orders without pretending to be a full bar.

What should I order?
Start with a Manhattan at $9.00 or the NY Whiskey Sour at $9.00 if you want a classic cocktail; the Margarita and Paloma are both $8.00. For beer, the Dunkel draft is $5.00, and a Buffalo Trace shot is $5.00.
Who will enjoy this place?
Moviegoers who want a named cocktail or a draft beer with the film, and groups where one person orders a Manhattan while another orders a Dunkel draft or a glass of wine.
When should I go?
Before or during a film, since the drinks are built around indoor and outdoor cinema service.
What should I expect to spend?
Cocktails run $8.00 to $10.00. Wine is $5.00 per glass or $18.00 per bottle. Canned beer is $4.00, Dunkel draft and 16-ounce drafts are $5.00, and 20-ounce drafts are $7.00. A Buffalo Trace shot is $5.00.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The drinks list is designed around cinema service, with cocktails, concessions, and draft beers offered for both indoor and outdoor screens rather than a separate bar program.
