The Scene
A long, padded black bar rules one crimson-lit side of this high-ceilinged space and is lorded over by comely bartenders who nimbly mix cocktails along with the live music. An ornate chandelier at the door, a smattering of chintzy furniture and a few cozy booths make for an intimate lounge experience. A black, white and red motif magnified by enormous artworks offers an interesting diversion from nightlife norms.
The Draw
With an ultra-cool ambience that is part sophisticated French court, part mod lounge and part your great aunt's sitting room, this fashionable nightspot in artist-friendly Castleberry Hill makes guests feel like a king or a queen. Chic urbanites and roving social consorts bounce from group to group across the dark-painted wooden floor as a DJ holds court from a booth above it all. As more people pack this intimate space, anticipate less dancing when the urge hits.

Nasty nasty nasty! Rude door thugs. Low class crowd, terrible noise called music. Then to top it off, they tow off your car after you pay $10 to park. But other than that its great!

The men at the door are the most rude and direspectful people you will ever encounter, they are sexually vulgar toward women and should be fired. The club is so small it looks like a hallway, don't be fooled by the elegant looking chairs which is the only picture they provide..... this is the only picture they CAN provide because there is nothing else in there but some tattered up booths. The DJ Saturday 9/1/07 was absolutely awful, he was playing stuff no one had ever even heard! If you want to go somewhere to dance do not waste your time, you can't get a dance move in for constantly moving out of people's way. This was a big waste of my night, please don't waste yours!

Parking:
Pay and park in the lot across the street. Anywhere else and you stop at your own risk.
Know Before You Go:
Weekends usually herald the arrival of one celebrity DJ or another and crowds grow in turn. If you want to commandeer a booth or an overstuffed seat, better arrive early as they fill fast and then it's SRO.
The Extras:
Savor a cocktail and the sounds that waft from above. If things get too packed, check out the fascinating gallery that shares a corner of the block with The Royal.
