Rex At The Royal is a historic venue located in South Philadelphia. Originally opening as a movie theatre in 1932 as part of the Metropolitan Theatre chain, it operated under various names including The Royal and later became a live music space. Following a period of disuse, the venue was renovated and reopened in 2019 by local hospitality group MM Partners, focusing on showcasing diverse musical acts while retaining much of its original art deco architecture. It currently functions as a standing-room-only concert hall with a capacity of approximately 350 people, known for its intimate atmosphere and high-quality sound system. The building itself is listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.
