The Royal shares yesterday:
“10 YEARS! ✨ In the summer of 2015 (June to be exact), the Royal opened its doors.
Our family created this place of ours to be a neighborhood hub of LeDroit Park: super casual, minimal rules, good drinks and food that we’d enjoy in our own home. Our primary focus was to be a community coffee shop during the day and a corner cocktail bar at night, all while providing quality food.
We’ve stayed very true to this, however we were surprised at how much you all embraced our Latin and Colombian-inspired food menu, so much so that food became our biggest seller! (more…)

From a press release:
“Since first opening its doors 45 years ago on May 30, 1980, the 9:30 Club has hosted more than 11,000 artists and nearly 8 million fans. That’s a lot of music, and a lot of memories. That’s more than 11,000 nights of irreplicable experiences; unique performances and interactions that each strike like lightning. And while you can’t bottle lightning, you can photograph it.
Jim Saah has been doing just that for almost as long as the 9:30 Club has been open, capturing his first show at the original 9:30 Club on October 17th, 1982. When people picture the original 9:30 Club, with all of its grit and grime and myth and music, one name is synonymous with those images, and that’s Jim. (more…)
