Rec & Royal

I originally booked another brunch party in the city to celebrate my birthday but the venue cancelled two days before my event “via text”. I immediately went to Rec & Royals site in hopes of availability last minute for my party of 12. Thankfully it was and let me tell you, my friends and I had an AMAZING TIME! My section was spacious, the host was polite and very accommodating! The reason I gave a 4 star instead of 5 is because of the buffet style brunch. The food was ok but the lines were long and it took awhile for the food to be refilled. They had DJ Casper as the DJ, he was in tune with the crowd and my friends and I danced the entire time. It was fun and I really enjoyed my birthday! I will definitely be back!

One of my Philly’s favorite nightclubs. DJs are always playing a perfect mix of EDM/Hiphop/Latin. Bottle service and GA are both a great time, and the hostesses are phenomenal. Danny has helped us host numerous events with large groups and it’s always been a good time for reasonable pricing for night life. Highly recommended spot.

Awesome Place, amazing staff especially security and event coordinator! Danny was great to work with and plan service with, he was responsive and answered all my questions. I needed accessibility and the security team made me feel safe navigating the stairs and was extremely attentive and caring. The karaoke room is gorgeous and had a great vibe, super friendly people. The arcade is unique and a ton of fun! Latin night in the club had a really good DJ. Will definitely be back

The buffet wasn't nothing to write home about. It wasn't enough food options like its brunch but they had no eggs no grits only two chopped fruits not actual fruit salad no turkey bacon only pork. The champagne they serve for the mimosas was super light never felt not even slightly buzzed. And we had our own personal bottles and we didn't feel a thing. Nevertheless the staff was great and the Dj was great the club part of brunch was definitely a vibe.

I went for their Sunday Brunch. We Ubered there because parking downtown can be pain at times. However, It was a cool, fun, and energetic atmosphere. There was a DJ playing music everyone could dance to, and the food was a buffet style that was tasty and edible. They provided bottles of champagne and juice for mimosa, but you have to pre purchase beforehand if you want additional bottles. Overall, It was a good time, and I would definitely go back.

Went to Rec & Royal for a friend's early birthday celebration. Walking in requires you to walk down a flight of stairs, which gave me cave like vibes. They have to check your id no matter your age and your bags. I was required to throw away my water bottle as guests in the past have filled theirs with alcohol and attempted to leave. The bouncer was not super kind about it, but I complied, and we were allowed in. We had the arcade room to ourselves, which had an ice hockey table, skeeball, tetris, and a few other arcade games. I tried playing tetris, but unfortunately, it was broken. We told one of the managers and he quickly tried to fix it. Because it was unable to be fixed, he gave us some quarters, and we played skee ball instead. My mom and I had fun playing and challenging each other! The buffet opened, and they had an amazing spread of fresh fruit, danishes, bacon, sausage, waffles, tater tots, and other items. They even had a carving station with roast beef and an omelet bar. I got a mix of items, and for the most part, it was good. However, the roast beef and turkey sausage were a little dry and salty! The best part was the fresh pineapple, my omelet with onions, mushrooms, American cheese, and the mac and cheese! I love a mac and cheese with a soft and crunchy crust! The live DJ was amazing playing a mix of old school cuts and new jams. We all had a great time! However, minus one star for poor customer service by some of the staff--not all - just a couple.
