Royal

Located in the heart of the historic LeDroit Park neighborhood, Royal is an all day spot – coffee shop by day and bar/kitchen by night.

For his latest venture as a restaurateur, Paul Carlson, the owner of Lulu’s Winegarden, decided to join forces with his parents, Ron and Gloria, and sister, Katrina, to open Royal in the summer of 2015.

Royal gets its name from the Royal Liquor Store, a business previously in this location. The concept of Royal stems from the Carlsons’ international background, as well as their love of cooking, good drinks, and spending time with family and friends.
