    I know it's a nightclub but I went for a concert and it was awesome- nice staff, intimate venue, great sound.

    Great for shows, never been here just to go out. Plenty of bars, easy to get a drink, plenty of room on both levels but this can be bad if not many people come out

    Definitely one of my fave clubs. They always have great trance artists.

    No better place to dance to the best DJs that come through Boston. Fri nights are EDM and awesome!

    Royale is know for bringing top chart DJs (and for epic lines and cover charges!) Book a VIP table with the Tablelist app and save time and $$ for the next show.

    A cavernous, anything-goes joint where supermodels dance with transvestites and day traders to big-name national DJs. Read more

    Good music, shitty front staff. They coat check but wont let hats into the building even if you plan to check it with your coat. You're forced to leave it outside by the door & hope no one steals it.

    Out of all the clubs in Boston, I think Royale is the biggest of them all. Their stage is lively and a huge display screen with a big dance floor!

    Check out its weekly Full-on Friday parties. Sure, you have to deal with the indignity of invasive searches & the occasional douchebag bouncer, but the go-go dancers inside & music make up for it. Read more

    My friend who is a medical marijuana patient got her medicine taken away even though she was rejecting to go into the royale. It was today Saturday at 11:45pm that it happened. Y do u violate rights?

    Don't bother with the coatcheck; use the lockers to the left. $4 per locker (versus $3 for coat + tip), and you can cram about 3 jackets and 2 purses in 1 locker. Also, you can revisit the locker all

    Dress to impress if you're going on a Saturday night; you'll be on full display on the round-the-block line. Also home to some of the best concerts, thanks to the Bowery Boston.

    The venue is crazy beautiful inside, huge potential size-wise. Just the right amount so it's still intimate. The usual over priced bar nonsense though means I will go elsewhere if at all possible.

    Seen so many epic shows here. A great size and friendly, accommodating staff.

    The crowd usually sucks, especially if you go on a weekend. It's alright for concerts, but the slightly increased floor right in front of the stage is obnoxious

    expect lines for any show. They search and it takes way too much time. Staff generally rude. Drinks outrageously priced. Decent venue to see bands but with all the negatives I'm always hesitant to go.

    Interesting perk to seeing a concert here - the stage is high enough so you can easily see the band from the back of the dance floor. Read more

    Trashiest place ever. The dance floor was covered with spilled drinks and smelled like vomit. I guess they expect this kind of clientelle because everyone gets a TSA patdown before coming in.
