In a dark church pew setting, The Royal Cuckoo serves up stiff cocktails. On Wednesday through Sunday nights, crowds are entertained by live music generated by organists or jazz musicians. The rest of the nights are kept alive by playing oldies. As if taking a trip back in time, it’s the perfect place to glug a Manhattan surrounded by red lighting and stuffed deer head decor. For a fancy throwback-themed night out, this family-run business is worth a visit.
