Organization Overview

The Royal American has served quality food and drink since 2011, as well as consistently dishing up some of the areaā€™s best original live music. Musical acts range from cutting edge local and regional bands to established national acts.

Located in the ā€˜50ā€™s era building that previously housed the ā€œOle Charleston Forgeā€ on Charlestonā€™s upper peninsula, owners John Kenney and Karalee Fallert aimed to maintain the buildingā€™s unique industrial character as they developed The Royal American. Once known as the premier local source for commercial iron work in Charleston, the bar/restaurant feels worn in and comfortable, and takes a friendly, but no-nonsense approach to everything they do. From a large selection of old school canned beer, to chargrilled hamburgers and baked potatoes, to booming concerts, The Royal American acknowledges and honors its gritty past.
