Rex at the Royal

Rex at the Royal is a welcoming, innovative, and multi-faceted hospitality establishment
creating exceptional experiences through a food and beverage program inspired by the culinary traditions of the
American South, influenced especially by its coastal regions, and locally flavored by our home—The Royal on
South Street in Philadelphia—expressed via elevated dining services, immersive special events, concierged private
dining esperiences, and a thoughtfully appointed bottle shop. Rex pays homage to the history of the space as a
music venue and gathering space for Philadelphia residents from 1919 through the 1970’s.

We invite our guests to join us in a space that is welcoming, inclusive, and engaging, and an environment that
encourages connection to one another through our elevated dining services, immersive special events,
personalized private dining, and a thoughtfully appointed bottle shop—each uniquely rooted in our vision of
southern and coastal cuisine: refined yet approachable dishes, inventively crafted cocktails, and creatively paired
wine and beer, served in gracious hospitality with ambiance and grandeur befitting the come-as-you-are luxury of
our velvet-lined dining room and sweeping Amazonite bar.

We strive to create a community gathering place—a place where every occasion shared over food and beverage is
special; a place where we celebrate the deep connection of people and place that brought together our
Southern-inspired cuisine, our historic Philadelphia home, and our vibrant community; a place where it’s “always a
great show”.
