Nightclubs come and go, but none have been in the position to steal Royale’s crown. Seven years since opening, this Theater District play-palace still packs them in every weekend by luring marquee DJs—EDM stars Nervo and Morgan Page recently hit the decks here—and walloping crowds with great light and sound. Brisk bartenders keep the club kids hydrated during dance parties and, thanks to a partnership with Bowery Presents, live concerts too.
