The Royale Bar and Grill, Tavern and Restaurant

No more school? Not heading to work?

I suggest hitting Art Hill for some sledding or just skip that and head out for a walk across Tower Grove Park while launching a few snowballs. Then stop in for a nip at the Royale on a snow day.

We are open for the snow day tomorrow starting at 11:30am. We will have our full menu, $2.50 Missouri drafts, hot drinks including the Aztec Coffee, Hot Toddy and the Scotch Toddy or we still have some brandy eggnog to soothe your soul on this snow day.

Your bartender, mixologist and server tomorrow is John Fausz. He has written a poem in honor of this day.

Snow Day by John Fausz

There is a strange, delectable paradox to a good Snow Day. You’ve got
the silly poetic intangibles, sure: the stillness, the crunching
footsteps on the sidewalk, and the ever-present shining white that
makes the sky look bluer.
But it’s cold out.
And snow is wet.
Which is why the best part about Snow Days is forgetting that it’s
winter at all.
You slide in off the street with cold, burning cheeks
hanging that heavy coat
that itchy scarf,
and those wet gloves to roast above a chugging radiator.
Then you sit way down to treat yourself to a God-given day of vacation.
Snow days are when whiskey tastes the warmest, a bowl of hot soup can
fill you to the brim, and the only things better to watch than a good
movie are the suckers on their way to work or school, passing by the
front window.
