Only stopped in for a beer, but the staff was friendly, the selection vast, and the seats by the open front windows were a great spot to sit and relax. Will definitely be back. The place had a laid-back and chill vibe.
Fantastic atmosphere, great food and the service is always great.
Wonderful bar downtown Guelph. They serve good food and drinks during the day and change over to a packed University bar in the evening with loud music and lots of younger people. I have had strange encounters with several drunk people here but that's not uncommon in Guelph. Some nights they run trivia games which are fun with groups of friends or with a partner. One of my favorite bars around town.
We always get great service and the food is interesting and constantly changing! They actually serve their cider with ice!
I love this place! They have a great selection of beer and food. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is nice!
One of my fave spots for a night out! They're a little pricey, but they have tons of craft beers and they place old skool music. Definitely a perfect spot for people in their 20s that want a night out.
The menu is surprisingly amazing! One of the best spots in Guelph to eat a great meal and enjoy a game.
Nice place. Good food. Very crowded and a little pricey.
Really dope BBQ platter!
Food was fantastic... The two of us ordered three plates thinking we'd take some home, but we ate it all. The fried chicken sandwich is life affirming.
I live an hour away in Burlington but I came up to Guelph one night and had dinner with my boyfriend who is an employee there. He got hired in the summer and so he convinced me and our other friend to come try the food. It’s definitely something different than what I’m used to in my city but it is very good. I will most likely be back on New Years Eve :)
Love this place! Food and drinks are fantastic, have always had wonderful experience with the staff. Atmosphere is great too!!!
1/10
Amazing fries, great fried chicken sandwich, Royal city brewery on tap. Their breakfast sandwich is my favourite too.
10/10 downtown Guelph people - watching spot! Love the wood aestetic, also wicked people-watching open window spaces! Excellent variety on hand for beverages - lots of delicious local beers, not to mention the amazing and friendly service! (Pints of Wellington SPA and empty Jameson shots pictured, we couldn't wait.)
The food and atmosphere is great, but the wait staff are just not on the ball. We specifically reserved seating for 4 in front of a TV to watch the World Cup final, but we found out when we got there two of the seats were facing away from the TV and had to convince them to change our seats. We weren't served for over 20 minutes, and once we were finally served, they didn't K ow who was supposed to be serving us. Then items were missed. Re-orders were also missed, but then extra items we didn't order showed up. The eggs benny is pretty good though, the yolk was just slightly overcooked.
my fave place in town. the burgers are super delicious and every person who works here is a g.d. delight.
A quiet place for lunch on a cold day. Wings were great, service was great, and I was a big fan of the music they were playing. Definitely going back!
I had the Southern Crispy Chicken and it was delicious, I also had the sweet potato fries and a citrus peach slushie and it was delicious
Awesome beer selection, great atmosphere
Royal Electric is one of our favourite restaurants in Guelph. They have turned this building into a really cool place to eat, drink, and hang out. They have a great selection of beer on tap, including many locally produced craft beer. The food is always amazing. The menu is small, but what they do have is spectacular. Favourite dishes include the fried chicken (order the Nashville hot) and the catfish, but we have never had a bad meal here. The service is always very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is cool. Exposed bricks and beams. Why did I not give them a 5? Because they took the Mac and cheese off the menu and it was a huge favourite -also I wouldn't mind a couple other menu options to bring me in more often. Otherwise this place is amazing. A must visit restaurant in Guelph. I forgot to mention that their buffalo cauliflower bites are the best I have ever had. Huge pieces full of flavour.
Beautiful patio
It was a nice atmosphere and we had delicious drinks. There is no vegan option in the menu (aside from olives). They accommodated and modified a vegetarian burrito bowl option to fit our needs. I do worry there was a non-vegan chip crumble on our burrito bowl but I didn’t ask. I would check if you plan to order this. The food was delicious. You get so many olives it is worth it! The beer options were plentiful but the glass was hot from the dishwasher so it wasn’t refreshing on a hot day. The pitcher of summer spritz was delicious!
No matter how good this place was going to be it was always going to lose one star in my book for replacing one of the only places in town that used to play Funk and soul with a dance floor... But as far as gastro style bars go it's an extremely nice place, and the food is surprisingly well priced in comparison to most bars of the type which are more pretentious in nature. Nice helpful staff and a wide selection of changing ales available
Love this place. Great for any meal or drinks with friends!
Honestly the best burger I've ever had at a super reasonable price. I love this place, outdoor eating was pleasant and the food was amazing. The staff provided us with ample.opportunities to order. I really can't believe food this good could be so affordable. 10 dollar burgers on Mondays are an absolute steal. Definitely plan to come back. One of the best places to eat in Guelph.
Great live music Fridays, nice staff, great atmosphere. Pub food with a twist, great beers on tap.
I came in for brunch and accidentally ordered a vegetarian burger, I asked the waitress to have the cooks throw a party on my burger and they did, the service was amazing and the food was delicious!
Great food!
Good food, but I wish it would have come out a bit faster. Overall a good experience. Catfish was cooked perfect and awesome fries.
Nice place. Loved the olive app. Only downside is that there is no change table in the men's so a friend of ours had to change his son in the ladies, but not a big deal for an afternoon visit. Night experience was good. Good drinks and space for dancing.
Best burgers in town IMO. (and a great beer selection)
Nice Place for Music but The Cougars are in Full Swing Here. So Many Dirty Looks - Come on Ladies.
One of my favorite places in Guelph. Good beer, good food, great service. Music is meh, but that's not why I go there. I'd highly recommend.
Best Bar food in Guelph! Only place I go out for a night on the town. Cool little patio out back too!
Awesome place with some great Guelph paintings at back patio!
Not a great selection of beer. Good people and karaoke nights
Live band was great. Lots of fun and the staff were nice.
Nice atmosphere, clean venue. The wait staff was very courteous and took really good care of our party. Very good place to hang out and have a drink in the evening.
Very trendy place to be. Great beer and whiskey selections available. Great food as well.
Really nice setting but menu is quite limited unfortunately. Not a bad place for a casual and social dining but don't expect anything amazing in terms of food
Dropped in for a late lunch. The meals were good and the service was great. It's always a good bet for a place to eat.
Great atmosphere and staff. Food is tasty and they have an excellent drink selection.
Amazing place to go and check out! Great atmosphere and great live music. I highly suggest going there.
Great bar with awesome live music on the weekends! Quite pricey for downtown Guelph, but you pay for what you get. Attracts a wide variety of people.
Nice beers on tap, great service. But the food was only adequate.
Popped in for a quick bite, delicious hamburgers here! Thanks!
Perhaps one of the worst venues I have visited downtown Guelph by a landslide. I did not enjoy any part of my visit to Royal Electric, which was rather disappointing as I had high hopes for this popular bar. When I arrived at this location I was greeted by a woman who informed me that I would be charged a $5 cover to enter the venue. I asked politely if there was an ATM inside as I was not carrying cash. She said no, I would have to walk across the street to Double Dragon and attempt to use their ATM (This ATM was out of order and barricaded behind a table). After eventually finding a working ATM in a nearby convenient store I returned to Royal Electric and was finally allowed inside the venue. The first thing I saw when I walked into the bar was, in plain sight, a perfectly working ATM machine! I'm not sure why the employee would lie about such a seemingly trivia detail, but I had a good laugh at this staff member's ignorance and tried not to let this negative experience bother me. I then sat down at a table on the patio with 5 of my friends and was turned off by the large amount of what appeared to be bird poop on our table. After waiting approximately 15 minutes for a staff member to serve us and clean our table, I realized that if I desired any sort of customer service whatsoever I would have to walk up to the bar and demand it. The bartender saw me pull out a credit card and quickly informed me that the bar was "cash only". This seemed a little unprofessional, especially considering the fact that the employees didn't seem to realize an ATM machine within their own facility existed. I proceeded to take out cash for a second time, this time at the bar's ATM. (It definitely exists) I walked back up to the counter with my cash, ready to finally place my drink order, just to find out that my friends had paid for their drinks with a credit card and did not run into the frustration I did. At this point I left without ordering anything and promised myself I would never come back to a bar in which the employees are utterly infuriating. The entire process at this restaurant is staggeringly useless and flawed down to its very core. P.S. The venue did not have more than 10 people inside it when I arrived. It was not busy at all, there was no live music playing yet, nobody was standing at the bar, nobody was in line at the door. Myself and those accompanying me were nearly the only customers the staff were required to focus on and we still did not receive anything close to an adequate level of customer service.
You need to Experience it to believe it! This Bar is Bonkers! I especially loved their suicide sauce on Buffalo Wings! 5+ Stars yo!
Came here for lunch with few colleagues and was blown away by the quality of food and level of service. We had pre ordered due to us being a large group of people and we were able to get our food and drinks as soon as we sat down. Definitely recommend the chicken burger with supreme fries. The pickled onions and jalapeños definitely add a nice touch to the fries. Great atmosphere, convenient location, and great service. Will be back for sure!
You gotta eat here! This restaurant has a great vibe! You have to love what they have done to restore, enhancing the heritage of this landmark. It's perfect for all your informal get togethers! Did I mention the great food and awesome service? You have to love the food and wine specials. Who doesn't love entertainment on Sundays? Dualling pianos anyone? Get in there quick and enjoy!
Great location with a nice long bar. The have about 10 beers & ciders on tap. Specials that change depending on the day of the week. The food menu was delicious and from what I gathered from the others in my group, they were all satisfied. Nice patio also. Only reason they got 4 ???? was because they didn't have their AC on and it was about 35C inside.
The food was great. Had a group of 9 for dinner and everyone was pleased with their food.
Great Burger ???? & the outdoor setting in the back is nice
Pickles on everything! Can't go wrong with that.
Excellent weekend brunch. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.
Went there to see the raps and they won. Amazing vibe and experience
Good menu, good food, price points on par. Beer list is fantastic - one of the best in the city. Weekly deals are a bonus - hard to find a good deal in Guelph AND good quality!
Great beer selection, always amazing and consistent food & friendly staff.
Stopped here on a Saturday night for dinner. At first there was not much space in the patio, but as soon as a spot became available the waitress did ask if we wanted to move outside. Which was great. The inside of the restaurant is not very well lit so i was glad we got a spot outdoors. Food was great, just a bit delayed on the refill but overall the experience was pleasant and so was the waitress. I would definitely recommend.
The vibe of this place is nice. Went on a Saturday night... Cover was 5 bucks a person. Our bartender was funny as hell. Earlier on in the night I felt like the crowd was older and more mature, but then it got younger and younger as the night progressed. A few things to know. At some point during the night it turned to Cash Only... I'm not sure if that's a regular thing for them. But it sucked when we were running a tab. Also. It got really busy, almost felt overcapacity... But I guess that's like most bars or clubs. I liked that they didn't take chairs away, so you still had an option to sit at booths or tables. And they do have a coat check there as well for the ladies, so you don't need to drag a jacket around all night.
I had to be drunk when i was here, cuase i dont remember s...t. never mind, this place is good. It was packed tho
Delicious, exotic, fancy and reasonably priced food. I've only been on company outings so expect a lengthy lunch in larger groups.
Good food, great service, reasonably priced.
Came here to enjoy a nice dinner with the family and got the meat platter and a few drinks. But what we got, was an incredible experience. Sean, our server was next level incredible. This establishment has seriously lucked out having him join their team. He made dinner so enjoyable. The food was amazing, but the service was beyond. Highly recommend!
Excellent food and great music!! Service was great considering how busy it was!
Great atmosphere, good service, but do not go for the food. I can get nacho cheese sauce nachos at the arena for $3. Yuk.
Service was very good, server was happy and attentive to our needs. Will return again
This is one of my favorite places to eat downtown. I've tried alot of downtown eateries and Royal Electric has the best burger and fries out of any of them. The environment is trendy and comfortable and the service is good. Prices are average. Highly recommended.
I eat here quite often and the service is always fast and friendly. Food specials at lunch are good value and taste good
Airy even if inside
Excellent beer selection and the Buffalo Cauliflower bits are amazing.
Food is awesome! Service is not the best in my experience at the bar or while dining.
Atmosphere ok, service slow (15 minutes to get a cider), and got charged $11.50 for a double mojito that I didn’t order. Apparently if you don’t state that you want a single, they give you a double and charge you for it. The manager did it her self yesterday and made me pay for what I didn’t order.
Consistent friendly service. Unique menu items that taste great. BBQ carrots.. amazing. Mac and Cheese is creamy and full of flavour.
Pretty good venue! Bartender makes fantastic drinks! Could do with some better music though.
Hands down the best food in town if you’re in to high end gastro pub menu items. Their mac n cheese sauce is perfect, the beer selection is fantastic and the chef clearly knows what he’s doing in that kitchen!
Been coming here for years, Menu is fantastic, ambiance is amazing.
Super Fun time, Great service!
Becoming one of our favorite spots for large work gathering. Loving referred to as meeting room number 5.
Finally a great bar in Guelph. Best in the city, always #1 choice every night out. Beautiful decor, layout, Toronto vibe. Very friendly staff
Excellent food, fair prices, and great service.
Best place for dancing in the city, hands down! great music and great vibes.
Nice atmosphere and food it's pretty good, could be a bit faster though
My family and I were there for a Jam School event in which my step daughter was performing a solo. The food was very good and the staff did a good job.
Has the best food downtown Guelph & during covid! Would recommend to everyone in the city.
OK beer selection. Ordered a beer and a menu, sat at the bar for half an hour, was ignored, left without food. Wasn't particularly busy. Van Goghs across the street has better beer and amazing burritos.
Amazing. One of the best restaurants I've ever been to.
Nice pub! Service was excellent and the food is nice and tasty! Portions are also very good and there is a good selection of draught!
Royal is our favourite local. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the fact that they play sports games with the sound is a plus! Royal Electric also has the best deal in town every Wednesday night - $10 burger (imo it's the best burger in town) with a side and they have craft beers on for $6 on Wednesdays too. I will say that you should go early (before 8pm) for two reasons - the kitchen often closes surprisingly early, and they have a guy playing acoustic covers really loudly after 8 a few nights a week. If you're into that sort of thing it probably great, I know he takes requests, but it's not our jam and we try to leave as soon as possible once he starts. Overall, 5 stars!!
Currently one of my favourite Guelph restaurants. The beer selection is wide, they have frequent specials, and their mushroom burger is unbeatable. Some food is spicy, but if you're into that their Nashville hot sauce is great.
Great food and great service!
Just had a super yummy lunch. Tons of hearty food for two plus a pint, still under $40 :)
Has a great atmosphere and wonderful service - they have a good selection of beers and a great Southern style menu, relatively inexpensive. Great place to come for a night out! Also a large dance floor with good music, sometimes live!
Fantastic food and decent service. The drinks they offered were subpar. I wouldn't recommend either of the drinks my girlfriend and I ordered.
Great atmosphere. Awesome live tunes and enjoyable tracks when bands aren't playing. My only complaint is that they lack the means to make more detailed cocktails like an Old Fashioned for instance. Overall 8/10.
Always a go-to for a get together with my friends!
Their Royal Burger is a personal favourite, but I’ve never had a bad meal there. Excellent service and atmosphere.
Amazing brunch and great service. Transforms into a bar at night. Get reasonably priced too
Wonderful chef curated menu that is always changing with fresh inspiration; whilst remaining rooted in delicious american comfort food! Try the Nashville Fried Chicken.
Wait staff rocked and beer and wings were tops????????
I was there for drinks with my colleagues today. The service was good. I had the Pina collada. I loved it. I forgot to add they had this beautiful mural
Their changing menu is a must have because you never know how long it'll be on there! The x cocktails are seasonal and show that they really think about the ingredients. 15/10 would recommend.
Conveniently located downtown with street parking right outside. Nicely renovated and decorated inside. I was a bit disappointed with the poor and small selection of beer. If you are into craft beers set your expectations low. There were lots of interesting food options. The tacos I had were alright but the winner were the chili nachos. Highly recommended those or the Supreme fries.
I love this place. Staff is friendly, good beer selection and always good vibes. I've enjoyed every meal I've had at RE so far except the Southern Fried chicken take-out which I had recently. The batter was way too thick and some of it a bit overcooked also.
The old Trasheteria transformed - nicely renovated, great cocktails, accommodating staff.
Great food, great service and the desserts are to die for
So delicious, never disappoints!
Good food, great beer, friendly staff. Will eat there again. Back patio is very neat, recommend sitting out there on a nice day.
Had take out dinner for 7 during covid. Food tasted great, was well prepared, and well presented.
Great space, great food, great people!!
Our favourite spot to have a bite and a drink after work or on the weekend. A large list of rotating taps. Wednesdays burger special is the best in town and $6 steam Whistle pints are cant miss on thursday. Clean establishment with great service. We go and will be back
Great beer selection, the whole menu is fricken good. Great service, and nice atmosphere. A must visit for sure.
We had a birthday party at this place. They had this table in the middle that was attached to a beam and you could very easily adjust the length of the table to be shorter or longer. The table was not sterdy and had a slight wabble to it. Other than that the service was good and the food was delicious.
Lively venue. Attentive staff, nice variety on the menu. 20+ beers on tap. Drink your favorite, the kegs are on rotation, so you might not see it for a week. Many local and nearby brands are represented.
Chicken and Waffels were incredible! (ask for the syrup on the side because it gets soggy fast) Service was great too, coffee could taste better, but pubs are aren't known for thier coffee.
One of our favorite places to go for a drink. The food is really good but price is up there. Service is so so.
Great food and micro brewery beer. The staff was friendly and very attentive. Best place in downtown Guelph for casual dining.
Delicious food and nice ambiance. Have ordered take out from here a few times and it's always been delicious.
I have had many wings in Guelph...Royal Electric is a legit contender for the BEST WINGS IN TOWN!! Also...the service is top notch! Great job Royal Electric from Chuck and Cutting Edge Property Services!!!
Food, service, patio all of it was great. Food is delicious.
Was a solid experience. Catfish and fries were tasty
Best spot in Guelph - great selection of beers on tap, awesome food and good service! Our staff has a monthly pub night and Royal is always great to us!
Decent looking place. The security/bouncers need to chill. Making a mountain out of literally nothing, wow. #Overreact
Good food, service and beers! Recommended!
Opinion of this place has only gotten better with time. They've taken their adoption of craft beers seriously, and always have a great selection of rotating taps. The food is some of the best in the downtown core also.
Delicious dinner and amazing service from Hannah! Thanks Royal Electric! Thanks Hannah!????
Went to Royal and was dancing and becuase i had a dry throat and started coughing and they kicked me out........... WHATTTTTT!!!!!! KICKED ME OUT FOR COUGHING!!! Literally had two drinks wasnt even drunk! # Crazy Bouncers
Decent beer selection, plenty of staff, clean bathrooms, great music. Only downsides are cash only and no food (yet).
Great place to get together with friends and have some drinks. Good food, great drinks and a one to a kind atmosphere. Hosted my bridal shower here and it was amazing would recommend to anyone wanting a one of a kind eclectic style!
Great service, great patio (despite being almost December!) and amazing food! I had the buttermilk chicken sandwich and fries supreme, and my wife had the cauliflower and halloumi salad; both were great. The hot drinks were also perfect.
Excellent ambiance, very good food. Great service. I would highly recommend.
Great old location and thankfully not modernised. Great local beers and very central to Guelph.
They catered an impromptu event and the food was great.
I don't go out very often..... so my wife planned to go out and we and friends decide to go to the Royal Electric bar... so let me tell you.... they were running behind on food orders and drink also the beer they have sucks... when I wanted to take an order of french fries, they told me the kitchen was close at 10.00 pm.... Music was pretty bad until a guy show up with guitar...
Amazing wings, enjoyable open-air atmosphere, friendly staff who are not afraid to recommend when asked. Loved the attention to detail with the flavors ????. Another eatery that makes the downtown Guelph food scene spectacular!
A nice atmosphere with a choice of environment. Fancy a booth, patio, or a quiet corner? They have it all. A nice rotation of what's on tap and excellent service. Go for wings and the game. You will not be disappointed.
Great open concept with a cool atmosphere. The menu is classic Americana, with fried chicken, ribs, Mac and cheese and other great options. Really good desserts made in house by their resident baker. Really eclectic tap list that offers something for everyone. Local options, cool one offs and fan favourites all available. I loved the chicken salad sandwich and Nashville hot fried chicken.
Had the brisket and it was phenomenal ????! Nashville Hot wings were delicious too! Thanks for the great meal.
The portobello mushroom is great. They have a good selection of beer on tap. Very good service
One of the best spots in Downtown Guelph. Something like 16 beers on tap and a huge bar with a dance floor in the back. It's hard to believe this place used to be vinyl. The inside is completely redone. It's modern and nice. Definitely worth checking out!
The food is terrific here and there are a lot of great beers on tap. They have certain things on special on several days of the week too which is an added bonus. Their burger might just be the best around; it’s so good and actually looks like it was made with care (unlike fast food burgers compared to their advertised pictures)! Their fries are skinny and delicious and different from other places regular thick cut fries. The food and drinks are pricier than they should be though, but I guess that might just be the new normal in downtown Guelph... It has a nice atmosphere that capitalizes on the exposed urban trend. It’s a larger space but can be cozy if you get a booth. There are TVs with sports on if you go to watch the game, ample seating for just having a meal or pint with friends, and live music at times as well. The staff are great as well. They’re always attentive and helpful and they’re professional too. Really, the only negative about RE is the prices. The daily specials definitely help, but not everything (especially their fried chicken sandwich which is absolutely fantastic) goes on special.
Great food with a cozy industrial pub vibe. Friendly staff.
Had the Nashville style fried chicken and thought it was great. I found the prices to be lower than expected.
Difficult to get served. Not sure why music didn't start until nearly 1am. Didn't have a good time.
Super funky, amazing staff and great food!
Courteous staff, excellent cocktails. The interior design is quote odd, creating a rather strange atmosphere.
Awesome food. Excellent service and a great place to hang out.
The food is great here. A bit overpriced for the portion size. Waitstaff are terrible. I ordered fried chicken with the mac and cheese. I didn't want the slaw, pickles or ranch with it. I asked for extra mac and cheese instead and was charged extra.
Classier than some of the other bars downtown. Drinks are certainly overpriced.
Great wing flavors and beer selection, service was prompt however our server herself was unknowledagble about drinks
My friend and I went there when it was not very busy, yet the other places in the neighborhood were. I'm not sure if it's just the timing or is it always like that? Had an okay selection of craft beers, which is what I like. Not a lot of vegan options. Since there are so many other great pubs in the neighborhood I probably wouldn't be back, but saying that if you're not vegan I would at least give it one more star.
Great atmosphere, their own craft beer was great, food great and service was first rate. Highly recommend this place!
Delicious food and great rotating taps. Pretty decent deal on oysters but you have to try the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich Nashville hot!
Popped in for my favorite Benny Brunch and a mimosa. Some local kids were jamming and singing while we ate and it turned out to be a fantastic time. Staff is always accommodating and fun. A fantastic drink menu and a large selection of unique craft beer.
Bomb burgers. Bomb beer. Bom tsk bom tsk bom music. Bomb bumper nights and atmospheric afternoon retreats. Try the deep fried cauliflower for an OMG moment.
Great place for a few drinks with friends. Not expensive at all and the atmosphere was awesome. Had a blast.
Great food and atmosphere. They had live music that night and the musician was great!
A group of 8 of us came here on Sunday, it was raining & our reservation was for the patio outside, we called to ask what would happen if it was still raining come our reservation time & they said they already had it all set up inside for us! The server was very prompt at coming to our table throughout the night & provided amazing service. Our appetizers came out super quick, & so did our meals, the food was so great! Highly recommend Royal Electric.
Awesome beer selection, really interesting and amazing food! Sweet live music events!!
Great atmosphere and tasty food at good prices. Really unique place.
Great food and staff! Portobello burger is by far the best.
Great ambience and pub-style food. Good beer selection.
Best brunch in town, we love the chicken and waffles!!
Nice oysters, decent ceasar. Comfortable yet trendy decor. Balanced crowd. Looking forward to going back for live music in the evening.
Reliable food, pleasant atmosphere and staff
Raptors won. Drinks were cheapish. Dancing was alright. Decent night.
Great food and selection of drinks has a nice patio out back for the summer
Neat ace with pretty good food
Amazing food and environment!
A good official gathering or to gossip with friend & make your weekend a rockable!
I went there for my birthday last Saturday and it was the most amazing night out. The booths are huge and fit everyone i was with (a group of about 17). Drinks are very well priced and the music was amazing. Its my new favorite spot to go dancing in Guelph for sure!
Went here in the summer. Great music, great crowd, great patio. Would have liked to stay on the dance floor but it got unbearably hot inside.
Waited for over 20 min to be served. Won't be back.
Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. While passing through Guelph we stopped into Royal Electric for dinner and we were unexpectedly blown away. Each menu item is prepared in a very creative way using unusual ingredients that come together to create a symphony of flavors. By far the best dish we had was the Burrata. It came with roasted garlic, crispy prosciutto, tomatoes and hot peppers. An unexpected pairing that really wowed us. Our server was attentive and friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommended.
A little pricey, but good quality. Good beer selection and good atmosphere.
I'm a bit older than the trash days so I rarely visit during the party hours. So when I frequent (usually at lunch or early dinner) this place is always easy to get a table at and the food is awesome. Also the beer and drink menu is great, awesome stuff. I'd recomend trying it out.
Absolutely amazing place very welcoming this place is a gem I will definatly going back and to top it all off the bar tenders can work some magic with drinks great job everyone at royal electric
Lovely
Good food in a great location. Drawbacks would be the menu is limited and it is expensive
Great atmosphere, great service, great food and great beer!
Juicy burgers and a Brooklyn vibe. My kids love the fries.
Fab place, great staff and fantastic food!
This place is pretty great. Really good atmosphere, a pub with a back patio. Industrial, modern decor. The service is friendly and helpful. The drinks are really nice although a higher price point than average. Try the penicillin, they make it very well here, super balanced. The food is pretty good too. Prices are a bit high for a pub, but the portions are huge. Decent cook work, flavour profile needs a bit of help, but overall great compared to most. Highly recommended this place.
Had our work Christmas party here, everyone had alot of fun
Service wasn’t the best, had to wait forever for food, bills and to be seated. The food however was great!
Great environment, food and prices. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new restaurant in Guelph!
Awesome food and great staff! The selection of craft brews are on point. They have a lovely patio out back too. Definitely missing the live music days due to covid, but always a pleasant experience overall!
Best Burger in south western Ontario!
Love the vibe here-great drinks and great service. Standard beer selection some seasonal beers. They often do live music with a dance floor on the weekends!
Impressive selection of craft beers.
Great beer selection and great food. Bartender named Perry is a handsome devil who is worth the trip to see ;)
Food is a few dollars more per meal than some of the other local places, but it's worth it. The atmosphere is cool, patio is excellent, service is always very attentive. They have a great beer selection and cocktails. I've only been here early evening/lunch, but I know it becomes more of a university bar with DJ at night. I can't speak for that as I've never been here after 10 on the weekend, but it's our local favourite for dinner and a few drinks.
their 10$ burger deal is absolutely the best! one of the best burgers in town I might add
My group of 4 get to the restaurant and are offered a plastic table in the corner by the alley. When we requested to sit at one of their three available picnic tables the host tells us they are saving them for large parties, ironically one of the taken picnic tables had a party of 2 seated at it. Once we accept the table in the corner that is seated right beside the host stand we waited 15 minutes without being greeted by our server meanwhile the host proceeds to seat parties of 3 at the tables we had previously requested. We left when we realized how poor the service was and nobody even noticed us leave. Yikes.
Saw the amazing reviews so I thought I'd try some take out, very disappointed ????
Great pub with awesome food. Patio out back is a fun place to be on a nice day!
One of the nicer bars downtown guelph. Nice patio out back that you can drink on
I'm sorry about writing this review. I have eaten here three times and have had nothing but good things to say to my friends about the food ... However today is the exemption . The order was Nashville wings for a take a way . Over cooked and dry , I tried a wing and a drum . I hope that someone at the Royal Electric reads this. I had to put the rest of the pieces in the waste bin.
Atmosphere was good bathrooms look great! But the food was terrible. One of the things we ordered was nachos and they didn't even use real cheese... it was like something you'd expect from a ball game not a pub. Not even the fries were good.
Very good lunch spot. No wait times and great service. They need to start serving their brunch menu during the week to get that fifth star!
By far our favorite restaurant in Guelph. From the food to the wait staff, everything is great. We go at least once a week, but there daily deals are hard to pass up. Thanks for keeping us fed :)
Went here because it had good reviews. Sat down with a party of six and we all ordered drinks and then ordered our food shortly after the drinks arrived. We were then told that the kitchen had no chicken. We all literally ordered something that had chicken in the dish. It's not the server's fault, this one falls on management. Ask if they have their ingredients before you sit down and order your drinks folks.
Great atmosphere and food. Can get really busy at night. One of Guelph's hottest places.
Love this burgers here. And great drinks during summer on a hot day!
Food is always great, really love the beer selection too!
Don’t waste your money. Go somewhere else. This place has horrendous customer service and the staff and management are just plain terrible.
Food and service was great
Great staff, we came with a large group and had good service. Went on a Tuesday , they do $2 fried chicken pieces and $2 ribs. The chicken is a great deal... avoid the ribs. I will be back.
Absolutely delicious, fun atmosphere, and great service. A great place to bring friends and spend an afternoon!
Everytime I go there I have a great time, my favorite place in Guelph
Visited around 7:30PM on a Saturday. The food was underwhelming. The cocktails were decent. Service was 5/5.
Wonderful live bands, relaxed atmosphere, helpful staff
Loved it. . great place....You guys need to visit Chucks in Guelph and assist with cooking the burgers over there. Great job guys....Be back soon.
Fantastic food. Happy staff. Great experience.
The food was unbelievable! Amazing place for gourmet comfort food! The atmosphere and decor was really great. One of my favourite bars by far. The servers are all really nice and were very efficient even when the place was packed. The only thing that slightly ruined my experience last time was how rude the taller male manager was. He was very short with his staff and wasn't very nice to a new girl they were training.
Good food. Was there for a work Christmas party.
Great club in downtown Guelph. I have only been on Saturday nights so not sure what happens the rest of the time. The DJ always plays great music that you can help but want to dance to. Be sure to get there early because this place fills up fast.
Good food and really good service
Favourite bar in Guelph. It's the best when they have live music! Good crowd, music and venue. Prices are slightly high relative to other bars in Guelph but average compared to other cities.
Great food, good service. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and lovely.
Ordered take out but when we got home there was a mistake on the order. It was fixed right away, and brought to our door step, no questions asked - which was very appreciated. This is how a proper business corrects it's mistakes. It also serves to mention these are easily the best wings in town. Will be out wing place in guelph from now on.
Decent place for beer and a bite. Never been here in the evening but I hear its good.
I attended a company celebration. Good food, friendly service, good beer selection and the place was set up perfectly for socialising.
Their pricing is a lot higher than anywhere in Guelph, older crowd which it Carter's to for night life. If we are talking about food. They have the best chicken sandwich in Guelph for sure and I've been to a lot of Guelph restaurants. This is not just my opinion, my friends also love it.
The bouncers and staff are rude and power tripping, got kicked out and asked why but all of the bouncers had different explanation. Get your stories straight, I wasn't even drunk!
Staff was rude :(
Fried chicken sandwich is amazing.
My wife and I went to Royal electric based upon a recommendation from friends of ours. To begin the service was great, our waitress was attentive and was able to take our drink and appetizer order. Upon receiving our drinks & apps we ordered from the menu and that's where our service and food took a drastic turn. I ordered the chicken sandwich with a Caesar salad as the side for an extra $3. My wife ordered the lobster roll with sweet potato fries as a side for an extra $3. Our waitress took down our order and went to the table right next to us. Before our food arrived (which took a long time, but I assumed it would take longer due to covid). Our waitress informed my wife that her lobster roll wasn't available anymore (again, not a major problem. Assumed it was due to covid) so she ordered the Calzone. When our food finally arrived, I received my chicken sandwich with a regular house salad on the side and my wife received her calzone with a house salad on the side. I went to confirm with the individual who brought out our food that these weren't the correct sides that we had ordered. We were told "Well they weren't on the order so we can't give them to you." Then "if we were to make them for you we would have to charge you for them." Which was completely fine to my wife and I as we were already prepared to pay extra for those sides. Before even giving us an opportunity to answer he just walked away. So after starting our meal which was incorrect, our waitress comes over about 5-10 minutes later and asks if everything is ok. Which we then tell her that no, it isn't because our sides weren't correct which she then proceeds to tell us no, that's not what we had asked for (even though after confirming with my wife that we did order those sides), but she can have them made up for an extra cost. At this point, I just wanted to finish my food, pay and leave. I said don't bother as we were almost done our food, and she said to us "It won't be a big problem, I can have them make it up right now." My wife also asked for a better knife to cut her calzone as they only provided a butter knife to cut through it and the waitress went back into the restaurant. After a 5-10 minute wait she comes out with a Caesar salad and in a condescending tone says to me "see, not a problem at all". Then leaves before we can ask again for a better knife to cut my wife's dinner with. At the end of our meal we asked for a box for my wife's leftovers and were met with the most obnoxious eye roll. After receiving the bill we were charged for 2 caesar salad sides and a side of sweet potato fries. At this point I just wanted to leave so I paid for it and we left. For the food, the chicken sandwich definitely didn't meet expectations as it was on the smaller side and similar to something you could get from 7/11. The slushies that we ordered were okay and my wife wasn't impressed with the calzone. The best part of our meal was our appetizer which was the loaded fries. Highly unlikely that we give this place another chance if we are in town. TL;DR - Food is average at best & Staff will place blame on customers and charge you for food you never received.
Great staff Sara Cris tv sport beer food practice C19 rules
While the atmosphere is great (4/5) the rest of our experience left lots to be desired. The restaurant wasn't busy (maybe 7 other tables of people), yet the hostess barely had time to speak with us, and failed to even give us menus. After 20 minutes we finally received our menus, and placed a drink order. The waiter was very friendly, but incredibly slow. After being at the restaurant for 45 minutes, we were finally able to place our food order, which came out about 45 minutes after that. Now the food... Everyones was decent (not incredible) but decent. We ordered a big variety from nachos, to loaded fries and fried chicken, to wings and devilled eggs. All of the other reviews raved about the chicken wings, and while they had all the makings to be a great wing, they simply did not live up to the hype. I've had better wings at fast food restaurants. Overall, the experience was not great and we're not likely to return. It's really too bad though, because the design is pretty cool, and we were really looking forward to trying it out. Our first and last experience.
Beautiful interior. Great atmosphere. Friendly Staff. Yummy drinks and food choices. Nice casual gathering place. Mixed age crowd.
This place is dope. Can't wait for the dance floor to open back up.
Great food and drinks. The patio is fun and relaxing
Great food and service. Beer menu is alright some craft beers as well as plenty of domestic. Sunday brunch with a Caesar is a must!
The fried chicken bucket is just...wow. Definitely the best fried chicken in Guelph and one of the best I've ever had. Also the staff are so nice and accommodating whether it's putting together a large order in a timely manner, extra dipping sauces, or letting my dog and I sit inside to get shelter from a sudden downpour. Their food and their staff are a great embodiment of what Guelph is all about.
The food here is amazing, I've had several dishes and they are all great. A good place for brunch, lunch, dinner or dancing!
Amazing food and service , as always! Favourite spot downtown Guelph!
Great service cold beer
Modern and trendy vibe. Plus, it attracts a bit more of a mature crowd (25+) which is nice as it is in a university town.
great spot to meet friends! nice back patio and love the Royal burger, its delish!
Great place to grab an early drink or get your late night dance groove on.
Nice place with a cool modern vibe. When I went there was a DJ playing some kickass 90's hip hop, brought me back to the age of all the young people that were partying in there that night. Beer was cold and reasonably priced. I didn't eat there but I have heard the food is great, especially the Burger. I will go there again for sure and will grab a bite
Decent food at fair prices. Oyster night a disappointment, with limited oysters resulting in consistently early sell outs.
Great food, good selection of beer! Looking forward to trying their patio in warmer weather
I had a craving for a good burger on a monday. As fate would have it, Monday is their $10 burger day. What could go wrong you ask? Nothing at all! Go to Royal Electric, eat the burger and have a beer !
The food here is incredibly over priced for how cheaply made it is. Ordered the "goat cheese" dip and it was pretty made sour cream dip with Ritz crackers and standard potato chips, for $15. Servers were incredibly nice but I wouldn't recommend this place when there's so many better options in the same street.
Best chicken sandwich in life...our waiter today (said he was new been there 3 weeks)( I'm bad with names) but he was awesome, food was fast and everyone even my 3 year old loved it. Thanks for the fantastic lunch. Now time for food coma nap
Great food and environment would just like to see more vegan friendly options :)
Great atmosphere and service. Excellent beer selection. Small, meat-heavy menu with some hits & misses
Very nice atmosphere. We went to the back patio. Good lunch menu. Had the sliders. Buttermilk chicken and beef patties. Very good! Great fries too. Not too expensive either. Overall, a big thumbs up!
They're still giving amazing service and amazing mac and cheese while working with the new guidelines. Please support this business. You won't regret the experience, and the food is to die for.
Eat here regularly or at least we used too.
Good choice of drinks. The menu is ok and overpriced.
Terrible staff. Terrible management. This establishment does not take care of its customers. Horrific customer service. If I could give zero stars, I would.
Service is a disaster regardless of person, time, day of the week, or where you sit (bar, patio, table inside). The wait time to even be acknowledged is embarrassing - especially considering the times that I have visited, there was a maximum of 6 other tables in the restaurant (with at least 3 FOH staff members present). Food is over-priced - especially the only vegetarian menu item being $18 for beans, rice and tofu - and meat-focused. Only reason I continue to go is because of the decent specials for beer. Their draught list is not what I would call a redeeming quality, but better than most places in Guelph.
The staff went above and beyond for my birthday. Special thanks to the bartender Chris for great service and being very accommodating!
We miss our downtown go-to for brunch, burgers, and a night of fun but ordering takeout was super easy, safe and delicious too! Great takeout menu options/specials, order was made on time and packaged well to bring home (salad and sauces packed separately), clear and effective Covid precautions, and the large bottle shop has something for everyone and is really affordable. Highly recommend the Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich with a bottle of Revel Barrel Aged Strawberry Cider!
Nice place to hang with the girls, although would love if they played more older hip hop music on Saturday nights.
Hands down best food in Guelph. Amazing burgers. Best fried chicken sandy and wings around.
Pub food, decent deals, nice back patio.
Great atmosphere. Only things better, the service and the food. Well done.
We had a great time here for our friends birthday. There were over 30 of us and the staff was very accommodating and we were all impressed with the service we received. The buffalo cauliflower is amazing! Great atmosphere and all around good time!
A little late posting... but have to comment on our dinner on the Royal patio. This patio is a hidden gem in Guelph! Totally secluded and great ambience. Food is top notch too. Don’t miss it. Atmosphere inside is great too so don’t hesitate to go regardless of the weather!
Was only there for drinks, but like the atmosphere. And, that it's so much brighter than the Trasheteria used to be!
Amazing food. Amazing wait staff. Amazing atmosphere. Oysters are fabulous. Unique and delicious tastes in the salads.
Beer selection is on point. Fast service, nice staff, happy to accommodate a group that grew into 12 or so over the course of us staying there. Didn't eat but looked like an upscale type of menu. Has music a few times a week. Really nice local place, easy to get to. I'd make this one of my local spots if I lived in Guelph! Get there!
Atmosphere was good. Food was ok but no cutlery with takeout was disappointing.
Cool menu. Staff is always nice when we go. Will return.
Nice drink menu, great vegetarian options, friendly staff
Nine of us arrived here as part of a friend’s Christmas celebration and ordered drinks. A few tables were marked reserved so we found a small table at which we could place our coats/jackets and a few members of our group could sit, which was notably not marked reserved. Their sole security person at this time (9.30pm) came to the table and advised us this was part of the reserved larger table next to it. In the time it took three people to shuffle out of the booth, with one person from the back of the booth now sitting at the exit of the booth, the security came back with a towel and a confrontional attitude. As we had not cleared the empty table in the short time frame he deemed appropriate, despite having no waiting patrons for this unmarked table, he informed us we could be invited to leave after finishing our drinks. A member of our party spoke with him regarding same and the security became more irate, departing the table which he had by then pushed against the table which was marked reserved, called us “f**king losers” before taking his leave. A member of our party followed him to attempt to address the issue and his extremely poor customer service which resulted in his expulsion from the bar. I remained with my friend to listen to the conversation, the security stood by his position to call customers “f**king losers” and affirmed his comment. A member of staff stood with him, presumably as witness, as he remained outside the conversation. Some bars don’t care about their customer service if they’re busy and that’s their prerogative; but having agitated and confrontational staff is a sure way to guarantee at least 9 people won’t be returning. Otherwise the bar service was prompt, interior was lovely and the inside is immaculate. Would have liked to spend more time there.
Very relaxed vibe. Great food and drinks. Nice young professional age ranges.
Loved the fried chicken. Definitely try the Nashville sause. Great atmosphere, and great service
Great spot for some fantastic food and even better service. The beer selction is also good!
Fabulous waitstaff on the back patio. Cheerful and welcoming! Our favourite patio too.
Very friendly great service , food is good , lots of viewing angles for the TV's if you like sports . Night time Music venues are good as well
Great burgers..good service
All dishes made properly and I love each dishes are not too salty.All kinds of meat and fried chicken was excellent.Also my favorite is Buttermilk biscuits which is creamy,moist and so soft.Side dishes are not too sweet,so my favorite taste too.Dog friendly Patio and water service were perfect for my dog.
Used to visit Royal Electric on a fairly frequent basis however last visit found the staff to be extremely unprofessional. We sent an email to the company to address concerns and never heard back (it's been almost 2 weeks) so it just goes to show that the unprofessional staff is a direct reflection of the organization. The email that we sent was not harsh in any kind of way, and to be honest was way nicer than how we were treated visiting the establishment. We never leave negative reviews but we will never be going back, nor will we recommend friend to go. Note to Magaement: acknowledge and respond to customers. This should be a top priority!
Burger was amazing! Great drink selection. Server was awesome. Perfect for groups. DJ started at 10 and he was great. Such a fun night of dancing!!!!
Amazing! Nashville chicken was spot on. Wait staff were friendly and talkative! Will repeat
Worse than there being no real vegan friendly options on the menu, the attitude of the staff in regards to the menu options was the opposite of progressive. Instead of the server, host and kitchen staff offering to share with the management that there is interest and demand for alternative options, our server told us we should have chosen a different venue. And I am strongly upset that we didn't. You can smell nicotine and other smoke while out on the back patio, and if it is a weeknight, and you are on the back patio you can expect your server to randomly kick you out at a certain hour so the place can prepare for the flood of university and young drinkers that pour-in (get it) around 9:30? Maybe 10:00? It confirms for diners the that the young bar crowd is the preferred demographic.
Would have been nice to post on your social media when you need to make reservations in order to get in. ie: St Patrict's Day
Food was good, gluten free options available and friendly staff.
Great atmosphere, great owners and awesome staff
Went out on weekend for night out. Drinks, younger crowd, decent music. A few other options in Guelph but not much
One time I went here...I waited so long at the bar to get a drink and then a drunk guy went bam and smacked the drink out of my hand. The food is decent though!!
The Best. Custom made avocado fries and killer service.
One of my local favourites. Great selection of regular favourites - fried chicken, Nashville hot sauce is spicy and sweet, catfish, huge pieces great breading, and regularly new things to try.
Sat in the back patio, it was so beautiful. A friend and I had the chicken and walffles, best I've ever had!
