Chinatown / Leather District, Boston –
Without question, Royale Boston is one of the hottest Beantown clubbing spots, playing host to hordes of young singles looking for fun.
The elaborate main floor, whose carved moldings and crystal chandeliers hark back to the venue’s past as an opera house, is fitted out with an ultra-modern sound system and lights that whip the mix of fashionable college students, hip young professionals, bachelorettes, and passionate club goers into a bumping and grinding frenzy on the dance floor that dominates the center of the room.
Heavy flirting is definitely the name of the game here, with nightly DJs and the occasional band providing a soundtrack of club, hip-hop, and dance music from their place in front of the red velvet curtain on stage.
Sweaty dancers in need of a cocktail and a spot to cool down can head to the semicircular bar, backlit in blue and situated a bit away from the chaos, or make their way up to the U-shaped balcony for a bird’s-eye view of the action or to see who’s partying in the exclusive VIP section.
Always lively and packed with beautiful people, Royale Boston is a must for any club lover looking to let loose.
Hip young professionals, upscale college students, singles, and birthday and bachelorette parties, mostly 20s to mid-30s.
Rotating roster of DJs, which has included the likes of Pauly D from Jersey Shore, spin mostly house, hip-hop, funk, and dance. Occasional theme nights.
Concerts in association with live music promoter Bowery Presents include shows by artists like M.I.A., Phish, Passion Pit, and Wolfmother.

Royale is only open on Fridays and Saturdays, so both nights draw big crowds.
Just up the street at the W Boston is Market (100 Stuart Street), a restaurant owned by master chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten that’s perfect for an amazing pre-club dinner.
