Great night out. Went for the giggle games night. Bar star were very friendly and actually had a conversation with you rather than looking like they hated everyone. The host was good, mediocre jokes but gives our free booze so got to be his his best bud. Good prices and a a good night. Good for a big group!

the royal exchange hotel provides amazing customer service and is a very friendly environment. The staff are always willing to help you with any of your needs and will respond to them in a friendly manner. While I was there. Sean, who is a manager provided great service and was very helpful. Scarlett who was behind the bar was serving myself and was very friendly and made me feel very welcome. Would 100% recommend the royal exchange to anyone

The Royal Exchange Hotel – A Pub Fit for Legends! If you’re looking for the perfect pub experience, look no further than the Royal Exchange Hotel. This place is an absolute institution of good vibes, amazing food, and unforgettable entertainment. But let me tell you—the real crown jewel? Scotty’s Trivia Night! Picture this: a cozy, welcoming atmosphere buzzing with excitement, tables packed with happy faces, and the best pub grub in town. The Royal Exchange Hotel somehow manages to balance being your home away from home with the energy of a night out you’ll talk about for weeks. And then there’s Scotty. Oh, Scotty! The man is a trivia maestro, a legend among quizmasters. His wit, charm, and razor-sharp banter turn a simple trivia night into an epic showdown of brains and belly laughs. Scotty doesn’t just ask questions; he crafts an experience that keeps you hooked from the first round to the nail-biting finale. Whether you’re a seasoned trivia buff or just there for the fun, Scotty ensures everyone feels included and has a blast. The food? Chef’s kiss! From crispy schnitzels to juicy burgers, every bite is a celebration of flavor. And don’t even get me started on the drinks—perfectly poured beers and cocktails that hit the spot every time. What truly sets the Royal Exchange Hotel apart is the sense of community. You walk in as a stranger, but by the end of the night, you’re part of the family. Between Scotty’s infectious energy and the incredible staff, it’s impossible not to leave with a smile on your face (and maybe a trivia prize or two!). If you haven’t been to trivia night at the Royal Exchange Hotel yet, drop everything and go. It’s not just a night out; it’s a memory in the making. Bravo to the team for creating such an extraordinary place, and long live Scotty’s trivia reign!
