This place is open. We've been there twice in the past month. The bar is great and the food fantastic. Parking is the only hassle but we manage it.

Did some urban archaeology last weekend and stopped by this place. So sad to see it shut down. People loved the Royal Hawaiian.

The original bar was a fantastic escape to the past. Never tried the food but having Lapu Lapu's with friends on the low red chairs was the best. The re-do was the beginning of the end. Miss the original!

Used to love this place! Even before I was old enough to drink.
The new ownership/remodel completely stripped it's charm away and in it's place brought another shopping-mall-on-the-beach style establishment to Laguna. A sad story if you ask me.

Quote from the RH website: "Opened in 1947 by Francis Cabang, the restaurant was run by members of the Cabang family until 2006 when it changed ownership and underwent some much needed refurbishing. The restaurant has now enhanced its notorious tiki charm with larger dining and bar areas and several large HDTV's".

Scores Category should be updated, the Royal Hawaiian is open, the exterior is still lovely, the bar sucks (but they've got a new Squid mug!), some tikis remained in the interior.
