"Where the Action Is" Royal Oak by HotRodEtte

Royal Oak is one of Oakland county's trendiest downtown entertainment meccas. Main Street, along with the crossing side streets through the downtown area is lined with bars, clubs, shops, restaruants and coffee houses. During the summer, you will see everyone from bikers with their motorcycles all lined up along main street, to art students and their funky unique styles, to trendy, hip 20 and 30 somethings. The city's night life promises a fun time for all types of people.

• Pros:Plenty of places to go for dinner, drinks and coffee
• Cons:High traffic volume on weekends; long lines for restaurant seating.
