About Royal Oak

Stepping into the Royal Oak feels like finding an easygoing country pub right on O'Connell Street. Inside, couch booths, formica tables, fairy lights, and a red-curtain stage frame live music sets throughout the week. Regulars swear by the weekday lunch deal—twenty dollars secures a schnitzel or grilled barramundi alongside a beer or glass of wine. The kitchen turns out plates with crisp chips and fresh salads without fuss. Even on public holidays, happy hour pricing stands with zero surcharges tacked on. Tables drift out toward the beer garden courtyard as the evening band warms up.

  • Drink-Inclusive Lunch Deal: Midday specials include a choice of beer, wine, coffee, or soft drink with mains like schnitzel or grilled fish.
  • No Holiday Surcharges: Drinks and specials retain their everyday rates across public holidays with no surcharge added.
  • Courtyard Gathering Spaces: Outdoor and indoor courtyard areas accommodate private parties with personal playlists and zero cakeage charges.
