The Royal Bar in Lancaster

Great spot, Friendly staff and management. Updated very Clean building and rooms. Nice bar/restaurant downstairs with reasonable prices, tasty food and good selection of drinks. Million dollar question “ would I go again?”. Yes!!

Just enjoyed a week at this place. The pub interior is delightful. The staff very friendly and helpful. The double bedroom was comfortable and warm. The meals were varied and excellent. We had breakfast included in our stay great choices of food The full English was exceptional consisted of bacon, sausage, black pudding, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash brown toast fruit juice,tea or coffee. It take some eating. Going back to the bed room it had a large flat screen smart tv and even included Netflix Now a few minor niggles, the room needs more storage for clothes and toiletries. The hotel does not have a lift but my wife and I are both in our late seventies and we managed the stairs with a bit of puffing and panting The hotel is situated in a great position and we really enjoyed our stay

Stopped here for lunch on Sunday. Beautiful interior, friendly staff and lovely food.

One of Morecambe’s gems. Great staff, food, prices and decor. Where is everyone? The place should be packed!

Just popped in for drinks, beautiful place, great service couldn’t really fault it, great place if you like dogs as it’s very dog friendly

Very dog friendly & welcoming . Beautiful position on the sea front. Lovely decor & very clean. Definitely the place to bring your dogs and for good food. The Royal English very nice to share with my dogs Flo & RoRo

We had a sunday lunch and it was delicious. Great service, fast and friendly . We will definitely go back

Had a lovely Sunday Lunch and a couple of drinks with friends. Great food, nice selection of beers including Estrella, San Miguel, Poreti all very ressonably priced. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere and dog friendly The rooms are beautiful and my wife has booked a stay in the hotel based on our visit this afternoon. I would highly recommend.

Dropped in for a coffee and a sticky toffee pudding. Excellent! Homemade slab of pudding with delicious toffe sauce and a good helping of ice cream on the side. Great service and nice ambiance too.

Good customer service and lovely clean rooms plus a good breakfast.

Stayed over the vintage weekend great location excellent staff and food nice and clean room with great views

Lovely food and nice revamp inside! Huge portions!

Great food, great service. Thanks

I booked a room here for a Friday night. On arrival I was booked in quickly and shown to my room. The doors have electronic codes on them. On entering the room, the decor was lovely and the TV was a very decent size with free view. That is where the positives end I'm afraid. I have stayed at many hotels and b&b's and this has been the only stay where I have felt vulnerable and unsafe. Whilst I knew there were stairs leading to the room, I wasn't aware there were two sets, and the second set were very steep. When I pulled the curtains back in the room, it revealed a fire exit. I wouldn't normally be bothered by this, however, when settling down for bed I checked the door was secure, which it was not. Using one finger, I pushed the door at the top and it opened straight away. The bar that should be used to push and release the door was broke and stuck open. The screw on the window securing it closed was off and the window was able to open from the outside, as was the door. I hardly slept the whole night through worry. I expected there to be noise from downstairs and outside as it is a busy street and the room is above a pub. But the electronic code door handles to the rooms made noise early hours when people were entering and exiting and someone put a machine on, sounding like a vaccuum, at near 1am. When I got up in the morning, my neck was stiff and sore as the pillows were as flat as pancakes. Before I left, I stripped the bed ready for housekeeping to remake, and found urine stains on the mattress protector. It was honestly the most uncomfortable and worrysome night sleep I have ever had. I did not eat at The Royal Bar & Shaker so cannot comment on the food.

This pub has been renovated since our last visit and what a fabulous job they have done. The whole public area including toilets are immaculate. The room we had room 3 overlooking the sea was spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable bed and great shower.. Breakfast was included with the room , wow 😮 good quality food and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this B&B but also as a place to eat when visiting. Sunday dinner £14 fresh cooked Lovely menu for everyday and really reasonable prices

Stayed with my little boy. The staff were superb the room was brilliant with superb view. Drinks very cheap compared to some hotels we have stayed in round morecambe. The bed was very comfy and room very clean. Had a great night's sleep. The breakfast was superb. All in all I would recommend this superb hotel to every 1. And thank you to the staff for making our stay very enjoyable and relaxed

We called in to see the Sunderland crew who were very good. Friendly staff and great entertainment all weekend. We had breakfast today . The food was gorgeous too.we will definitely back and book a room too x

We came across the Royal Bar and Shaker by chance whilst on a day out in Morecambe, what an absolute gem of a place, beautiful decor very clean and all the staff were lovely and really friendly, we were told to download their app so my four year old grandson could eat free, the food was excellent and reasonably priced, I would not hesitate to recommend this bar

We visited the pub yesterday 17/08/24 as our football team the mighty Gills were playing away to Morecambe we was made to feel very welcome and had a good laugh with the lady behind the bar who talked me in to having a shandy and then a pie to counter the sandy. The pub is very classy and we wish we booked to stay there now but if I ever return to sunny Morecambe I would 100% go back... Thank you for a great experience makes football away days even better P s thank you for the three point as we won 0-1

Our stay from the first minute to the last was first class ! The staff were superb ! Thank you for making our stay so special !

We booked here at very short notice for a funeral wake. Jamie was incredibly accommodating and really nice to deal with. The pub is done out really well and looks lovely, and the food buffet was fantastic with plenty to go round! The staff were all friendly and very attentive throughout. This really is a lovely place and I would highly recommend it! Many thanks to Jamie and the team.

Recently refurbished. Great menu, we really enjoyed it

Breakfast is reasonably priced and tasty, I'd go so far as to say 1 of the best I've had. Staff are lovely and service is quick. I would definitely recommend

We was staying here for one night, and yes it was the music festival, it was buzzing here, a fab sax player on. what a great fined here, lovely friendly staff, very clean comfortable room too. Breakfast was fabulous and you can pick anything of the ala carte menu. We will be back

Great night of music, great atmosphere, and staff were amazing and made it a great night.

Great place ,food is gorgeous, staff very friendly, cocktails really good ,rooms are lovely amazing views over the bay

Nice recently refurbished pub, not much footfall in the bar maybe due to bar closing at 9 pm

This isn't a hotel this is some bedrooms above a kids club. The "bar" downstairs is actually a night club for every 15 year old that lives in morcombe. On a weekend it seems there is no consideration for the hotel guests at all, I think I'll be asking for a partial refund when I check out, worst stay I have ever had. Also to add injury the shower broke and doesn't produce any hot water and the toilet roll is about half a ply, don't stay here, and unless your 15 with a fake ID dont bother drinking here either.

Basically after 7 turns into a night club and they thought it’s a good idea to have ‘hotel rooms’ above it? like you can’t be everything and that’s ok. don’t expect to get to sleep at a normal time. truly unsure if the owners ever tried to sleep upstairs during the night just seems such an odd concept.

Arrived In Morecambe in the pouring rain. Went to see Eric’s statue and spotted The Royal Bar and Shaker across the road. Can highly recommend. Excellent food and superb cocktails. Would definitely come again!

Saved my marriage lol. Booked in another hotel, went in and omg, we had to find somewhere else. Walked in to The Royal Bar & Shaker and asked to see room left. Staff and owner very polite and showed us round. We will have it .... Wonderful room, lovely bar/restaurant and food (breakfast) spot on. We will be back 100% Thank you guys ♥️ Marriage saved for now 😂

The staff were rude and if they smiled I think their faces would have cracked!! Very uncomfortable atmosphere.

Lovely pub with 2 for one cocktails. Great staff and friendly atmosphere.

We called in today and it’s our first visit since the pub has been renovated, personally I think the heart has been ripped out of this pub which prior to the renovation had so much character and a beautiful solid wood and stained glass bar only to be replaced with a ‘chav’ bar consisting of a lot of plastic plants which will date in about 12 months, although we don’t visit Morecambe a great deal this is one pub where we won’t be visiting again, shame.

Fantastic cocktails. And friendly staff

Went for food this eve and had a gorgeous steak meal .loved the decor and the staff were very friendly and professional .thanks for a great evening

An excellent room for the price we paid and the view was exceptional. Really nice bar area and the staff were very welcoming.

Hotel was excellent in a facets. I really appreciate this place.

Lovely clean rooms and delicious breakfasts (veggie full English too!) in a brilliant location. Would visit again 👌🏻

First time at The Royal Bar & Shaker, definitely visit again. Had 3 meals. Cleanliness and service are both 5 out of 5. The food menu choice is small, but the food we had was not your normal pub fair, but it was excellent and serviced really quickly. Well done.

Outstanding breakfast .. sausages hash browns eggs bacon everything on the plate absolutely no expense spared on ingredients! Could tell from the first bite they’re using butcher quality items and it was cooked to perfection .. you can not get a better breakfast in Lancaster or Morecambe than that for £9.95!

Just had the buttermilk chicken and chorizo ciabatta and was absolutely delicious, salt and pepper fries were tasty. Atmosphere is spot on and definitely will be back

Had breakfast here three weeks ago and it was first class, even the hash browns were good quality, however we popped in last Saturday expecting the same service and quality, how wrong we were, it was completely different, i had a large breakfast and my wife the small, the sausages were small and over cooked, two teaspoons of beans, cheap hash brown's and mushrooms forgotten, sachets of butter put on the hot plate so they were completely melted and it appeared that everything had been deep fried. we were never once asked if everything was ok, and we left disappointed that it was so poor compared to our last visit. We won't be back I'm afraid to say.

Dog friendly! Great prices, lovely staff

Popped in for breakfast with my family and sadly the service was very slow, it took ages for the food to be prepared and when it arrived it was below standard. Cold mushrooms, soggy black pudding and lukewarm coffee. For the price it wasn't a good experience.

Day trip to Morcambe, so sad how run down the town has become but this wonderful little bar and hotel reminded me how vibrant the town uses to be. Great selection of gluten free options for my wife. Everything was realy tasty and great service

Visited today and very happy we did. Comfortable, friendly, and lovely food. Will definitely recommend and will be returning.

Clean, good food, but dirty bathroom floor, outside light on during night, service was medium and birthday party happened during night

Awesome clean and very friendly environment. Can't be faulted. Well done to all the staff . Keep up the appearance throughout.

Had a couple of drinks in the bar which looks like it has been renovated recently. The drinks were very good value and served and presented in a nine way

Great pub with very nice atmosphere

Really good food. Pleasant surprise.

Great place enjoyed the food and dog friendly

Lovely clean hotel. Friendly staff. Good playlist! Great weekend. Would definitely stay here again. Morecambe is a lovely place too.

This is a great place to stay.The rooms are lovely and spacious and very clean,we had a lovely sea view .The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is lovely and very well presented, the Sunday roast is delicious 😋

Me and my husband decided to try here for a Sunday roast and my god it was amazing, I had the roast and he had the chicken kabab, why we didn't discover the food here before today is totally crazy, would recommend to anyone, delicious food and great attentive staff, we will definitely be back!

A friend and I went for early dinner last night 7th Dec. We both had fish and chips. It was terrible we both were disappointed. Chef was told and barman came back saying everything was fine. Dismissed us out of hand. Batter of fish not fully cooked, mushy peas not mushy and yellow in colour. Chips not fully cooked nor crispy. To make matters worse we were the only people eating in bar and he couldn't get it right. Couldn't be bothered to get it right.

Very expensive .... I ordered a mojti they told me part way through making the drink they had no mint. This is a vital ingredient of the drink so it just didn't taste right and still charged me £9!!! As we were leaving someone ordered 1pt lager and 2 halves total £14.10 seems we're paying for the decor it has nothing else to offer. Very sad a local bar is charging so much

Been into the Royal previously for cocktails, however came in today for food, the menu had plenty of options & good pricing. The food itself was very enjoyable. The staff could not of been more friendly & accommodating. Will happily be returning & recommending for food

Called in for an excellent full English breakfast ! Slick service nice individual tea pots, good service . Breakfast appeared red hot and on hot plates . It was pretty busy for a wet Monday! Highly recommend

Neely refurbished very smart bar ! Professional service, spotlessly clean Now serving breakfast from 9 and good all day. I had a very tasty bacon chop served with a really nice sauce . Highly recommend! 🍴🍷

Went into the bar for a drink with a friend. The bar has been refurbished, and it’s beautiful … reminded me very much of The Ivy. We had non-alcoholic cocktails that were really good, the staff were very friendly, the place had a lovely ambience. I would most definitely go back. No food at the moment, but I know they are working on bringing it back. Classy joint

A proper pub with a good selection of real ales and beers, spotless, pleasant service. I ordered home made chicken leek and ham pie, very nice and all clearly home made. Highly recommended

First day open . Had great beer and lovely fish and chips. Excellent portion well cooked. This Is a great pub , live music Friday Saturday and Sunday. Give it go

I upgraded to the Haddock and paid £3 more - I wish I hadn't bothered. When it arrived the chips looked great, mushy peas, well they're mushy peas but the battered haddock wasn't worth battering as there was hardly any haddock inside of it. I told the woman in charge and she said......wait for it......"that's how they come"....lol. There's a bad price, a fair price and a good price for things that are bought and sold - and that depends on whether you're a buyer or seller. This was a good price for the pub and a bad price for me....a rip off. Well cooked but a rip off which they should address. Places like this rely and survive of repeat custom.

stayed here on a Sunday night, the bar staff were very friendly and helpful. easy check in and room was great.We had a top floor sea view room. very basic but clean bedding and towels. large tv and tea and coffee making facilities with a well stocked basket of sachets. Our room was surprisingly quiet considering we were above a bar. great sea view room. Excellent value for money and free live entertainment in the bar on Sunday evening. if you like modern travel lodge style rooms don't stop here it's quaint and quirky but clean and functional with nice friendly staff.

Went in Friday afternoon and it was quiet returned on a busy match day...what a difference...place was heaving.Recommended by a local we went for the £5 lunch time special.I had the steak pie and Mrs E the chicken...both spot on.Good food piping hot and a fantastic price.Girls who were serving were friendly and efficient.

Had lunch here. Good pub food, friendly staff, prompt service. Good hot coffee. Varied menu. Enjoyed it

Great home cooked food. Proper chips. Had cheese and onion pie. Really nice. Can recommend. Good beer selection.

We didn’t eat but what others were being served looked good and plentiful and not much was left. It’s a nice old place with a good selection of drinks. Couldn’t take a photo inside because people would have been in it. Would recommend.

Had a evening meal here and must say the food was very good and good price the staff are very good always asking if everything ok with your food and if we wanted anything else a credit to the place unfortunately it would of got a full rating but decorations let it down badly

go at lunch between 12 and 2.15 the royal has a 5.00 pound menu and a full menu the food is coked on the premises lovely and fresh they also have a upstairs if the bar area is full if not booked

They do a £5 meal menu on a Monday and Tuesday evening, as well as during the day. Well for £5 you can not get a better deal. I had Cumberland sausage mash and onion gravy. It was lovely, 2 big tasty sausages, real mashed potatoes, peas, carrots and a gravy to die for. The wife had Scampi and chips, can't say what that was like as she ate it all. , And wouldn't share. I would definitely recommend and will definitely be visiting again.

Went today for lunch, this is where we always eat when we visit morecambe. Good variety on menu with great prices. The meals from the £5 menu are amazing value. My mum is super demanding (she’s actually sent an egg back for being the wrong shade of white before now) however the staff always do whatever she asks and never lose patience with her (more than my dad can do!). Would definitely try to eat in upstairs dining room for views of the bay which are breathtaking. A hidden gem, highly recommended- thanks to everybody who served us today!

Went today with Husband Sister in Law and Niece.

the hotel room was badly decorated, the furnishing was poor, room service was very poor, towel were not changed in our 3 day stay, even after asking for clean towels, bed was not made properly, heated towel rail kept fall down

came into the royal with my mum for some lunch, we found a table & I headed to the bar to get some drinks we chose a gin & appetizer & a lemon tonic! Went back to look at the menu, my mum ordered the potted shrimps & I got the platter on the £5 menu! the food was delicious, lovely environment & will highly recommend:)

Was out for a drive out and asked a couple of people for a recommendation to eat, this was mentioned straight away both times. Large Car Park on the Sea Front a short walk away. Quick stop to get a Photo of Eric Morecambe and in we went.

Great stay and great hospitality and an excellent place to unwind with a bite to eat over drinks. Location is superb and we will be returning after our jaunt into the Lake District National Park. Thanks everybody

As a regular at the Royal. I just had to review them.

We were staying in Th is hotel while on holiday visiting Morecambe we had a meal in the evening ordered garlic mushrooms &garlic; bread these starters arrived hot and quick both very tasty meals enjoyed them alot .

Brought my friends who were visiting from the south in the summer. We all had £5 lunch meals. It was a little bit of a wait, but well worth it (there was a large party upstairs). My friends loved it and want to go back.

another visit to the Royal for Sunday lunch .Good choice of beers plenty of options on the menu but the beef is always first choice ! Friendly staff and fast service . We will be back !

Booked a table for 7 the Sunday before Christmas. We pre-ordered our meals and everything went perfectly.

Always a good vibe with good service and drinks inside or out!! You can always count on the "locals" giving you a warm welcome also

Nice food and cheap on the fiver lunch menu. We had been a few times but this occasion was met by a very rude owner. Ordered drinks, starters and mains. The drinks came then the starters AND the mains all came at the same time. The mains were sent back. We are the starters then the mains came out, the salad garnishes, coleslaw and tartare sauce was all hot and the gravy and pie was soggy with a skin on. We asked if they were made fresh and was told they'd been kept under the hotplate. We weren't happy and complained to the waitress. The owner came out and said we'd pay for what We had eaten and drunk and took the mains away saying keeping food under the hotplate for over 20 mins is fine and doesn't cause harm. She said the waitress had said we asked for the mains and starters to be brought out together - we didn't, and that we wanted refunds - we didn't, we just wanted fresh food. The owner also said we should have gone to Wetherspoons. So we ended up paying £34 for drink and starter each and having to find somewhere else for our mains which ended up being Wetherspoons which worked out better value and bigger meals.(2 meals for £8.29). We will never be back. Such rude service.

Always busy and a bit edgier than some of the pubs me and my friends go into. Sometimes it can be so loud with the bands that my brain fries, but the drinks are good, its not expensive and on the weekend its a good meet up point.

I am in a whhelchair and when i tried to get into the Royal bar i could'nt as there was 3 steps into the bar.

A friendly well run pub. Clean and modern with reasonable prices. The food is excellent and a novel range of classic and modern food. What I found strange is that they don't seem to promote the food in the main downstairs bar; instead encourage you to eat in the upstairs restraunt. Unfortunately this room is a bit soul-less and cold by comparison to downstairs.

Wonderfully re-furbished, great new menu, fabulous craft ales, great value for money! Right on the main promenade with fantastic views over Morecambe Bay. Live bands on Friday / Saturday evenings!

Ate here today with my wife for a quick lunch. She had salad and I ordered on the £5 menu. Excellent value for money and quality; portions really good for the price paid.

We called in yesterday, 3 adults and 2 children.

We often visit when we are tired after work and we have never had a bad meal here which is is very rare! The lamb shanks are to die for and the savoury puddings are divine! Tonight I tried the garlic and chilli chicken pasta bake and it was out of this world! The gin selections are also fantastic and the staff are always friendly. I cannot fault this place 10/10 every time!

Tried to change pint, I offered to pay for something diffent as the one I wanted tasted a bit funny. The response from the women behind the bar was "I've served this beer all day with no problems maybe you should try somewhere else." Terrible service and terrible attitude.

Great bar on Morecambe sea front in town centre. Great variety of beers with plenty of local real ales. Good choice of food, cheap but plentiful & very tasty. Well worth a visit if you're looking to chill.

We were very impressed with the food and the prices of the food when we ate at The Royal. The restaurant was really busy and the staff dealt with this very well. Don't be put off by the pub itself the food is really good and there are excellent specials and a good variety of choice. The seafood cold platter I had was excellent

Me and Mr B realised we had nothing to do this weekend so I found a room here for £36. It was sea view too

The best thing to say about this hotel is it on the front

we go quite often for a drink and a meal.the food is well priced and good value,the beer is the same ,we always find the staff helpful and cheerful,unlike a certain pub co this place is a little gem in morecambe and worth a visit

Called in for their fiver lunch time offer. Plenty of choices to have and the food was excellent. Great atmosphere in this pub, well worth a visit. Real ales on offer at good prices.
