REX at The Royal Grand Opens On South Street

REX at The Royal, located at at 1524 South Street in Philadelphia, will officially open to the public with expanded hours and full dinner and bar service, with a robust menu comprised of traditional Lowcountry Southeast Atlantic cuisine crafted by long-time Charleston resident Executive Chef Aaron Paik.

REX at The Royal maintains stylistic tenets of The Royal Theater’s original design; with sweeping arches and a raised live music stage paying homage to the theater’s role in the rich history of early-20 th century Philadelphia, in addition to all-new, grandeur design facets including a 25+ seat bar, with a cafe and bottle shop slated to open later this fall.
