Beste restaurant met live muziek in Royal Oak

If you're looking for a hidden gem in Royal Oak, Johnny’s Speakeasy is it! From the moment you walk in (after finding the entrance, which adds to the fun), you’re transported back in time. The vibe is cozy and intimate, with dim lighting, vintage decor, and a cool, laid-back atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in on a secret. The cocktails? Phenomenal. The bartenders really know their craft, and every drink is made with precision and top-quality ingredients. I had an old fashioned that was probably the best I’ve ever had—smooth, balanced, and packed with flavor. If you’re not sure what to order, just tell them what you like, and they’ll whip up something amazing. The food was just as impressive. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the menu—everything was fresh, flavorful, and plated beautifully. Service was spot on—friendly, attentive, but never overbearing. They really make you feel welcome, and you can tell they love what they do. Overall, Johnny’s Speakeasy is a must-visit. Whether you’re looking for a unique date night spot or just want to grab some next-level drinks with friends, this place delivers. Just make sure to book a reservation ahead of time because it fills up fast. I’ll definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our meals here, the brisket was flavorful and everything seemed fresh. We would definitely come back!

Food and drinks were good. Enjoyed Happy Hour promos with cheap drinks and deals on apps. Spicy margs were great! Ate the beef tips, empanada, two sushi rolls, two tacos, and gelato and affagata for dessert. Highlights were the beef tips and the grilled halloumi taco. Sushi was very good as well Disappointed in the mushroom taco, which had a very heavy mustard/horseradish flavour with the sauce and the salted caramel chocolate gelato, which tasted more like chocolate brownie ice cream. Server started off very strong, then didn’t see him much and waited long towards the end of the meal. Hair on my espresso cup, which he saw me pull off. Asked for sugar with it but replied that most people don’t ask for it. Drank half without and came back to offer sugar, which I no longer needed. Artwork on walls is cool, but ambiance feels kind of cold. Reminds me of a bowling alley almost, for some reason. Overall, a few small issues but would visit again as the positives outweighed the negatives.

Everything was great. Took my cousin for her birthday and we really enjoyed ourselves

Great food and experience. Service was excellent and very attentive
