Rex At The Royal is a historic venue located in the Queen Village neighborhood of Philadelphia. Originally constructed in 1903 as a vaudeville house and movie theatre—then known as the Royal Theatre—it operated as a cinema for much of the 20th century. Following a period of disuse, the space underwent extensive renovations and reopened in 2023 as a dedicated live music venue. The restored space retains much of its original architectural detail while offering modern sound and lighting capabilities. It quickly became known for hosting both established and emerging artists across various genres with an emphasis on quality acoustics and an intimate atmosphere accommodating approximately 300 attendees.
