Royale Boston

Royale Boston is a nightclub at 279 Tremont Street in Boston's Theater District, Massachusetts, housed in a ballroom building dating to 1914 near Boston Common and the Chinatown border. The venue's main room preserves ornate architectural details, including a high ceiling and balconies, which give DJ nights a grander setting than a typical warehouse club. The crowd is mostly twenty-somethings to thirty-somethings, including students, young professionals and visitors from nearby theaters and hotels, and it grows younger at student-heavy events. Dress code tends toward dressy-casual to night-out attire; athletic wear, sandals and baseball caps are commonly refused at the door, and lines form on Friday and Saturday after 11pm. Music centers on DJ sets spanning house, EDM, hip-hop and Top 40, with guest DJs and touring artists on special nights. The drinks programme features cocktails, vodka and tequila-based mixed drinks, beer and shots, with table service available. Posted hours run approximately Thursday through Saturday from 10pm to 2am, with the dance floor busiest between midnight and 1:30am. Cover charges are commonly around $20-40, with higher prices for headline events and lower or free entry for guest-list or early arrivals. Reservations are accepted for table and bottle service, which is a main part of the venue's model, with minimum spends set by night and table location. Guest lists and advance tickets can bypass lines for general admission. Boston's last call is 2am, so the venue closes by then, and late-night transit is limited, so ride-share and taxis are the common ways home. The Boylston and Chinatown stations are within a short walk.
