The Kings Royal on Kingsway is a seafront pub and hotel in Cleethorpes, also known locally as Mucky Muldoons. It splits into an Irish-themed bar on one side and a quieter wood-panelled lounge on the other, with a genuine snug just inside the entrance and a bay window looking out over the promenade gardens. There is an eleven-room hotel on the same site and an outside seating area to the front. CAMRA lists an open mic night here on the last Thursday of the month.
