Six years after a Roxy-to-Royale makeover reasserted this king-sized venue as Boston’s pre-eminent nightclub, crowds still claw past the velvet rope to claim a spot on its dance floor. The rare Boston space with enough square footage (and suitably pimp sound and light capabilities) to host international-level DJs like house legend Erick Morillo as well as guest celebs like rapper/DJ Lil Jon, Royale reigns unchallenged for its sheer scope.
