People can complain that Friday nights at The Royal Lounge mean nothing but fake tans, leering eyes and long lines. But why complain when you can revel? Stories circulate far and wide about the back corner make outs and the sweaty dancing that make up Olympia's most notorious meat market. Stories we here at the Volcano love to relive. Again and again.
