Royal Palace

I stopped by Royal Palace with a friend on a Saturday night while in DC. It is a small club with a crappy interior. The dancers were not overly attractive,…

I’ve been here lots of times over the last 10 years, but this visit was not like others. The club was short on dancers other than very thick girls (although one…

This place has been around forever but this is my first visit. Overall i was impressed! Most of the women are hispanic, some overweight but others in shape or thin. My friend…

This club is right on the north edge of the famous DuPont Circle commercial and restaurant area and this it’s a bit out of the way. It’s historically been known as…

I went on a friday afternoon (4ish) about a month ago. From the outside you can barely tell the place is there until you are standing right infront of it. I highly…

Royal Palace is not your typical strip club. No private dances, no real hustle for money other than the post dance walk around after the girl gets off the stage. You feel…

Overall Vibe: There's one main stage. On Friday and Saturday nights, there's two girls dancing on the stage. Other days and times, there's usually only one. This place is always different every time…

Was visiting down and decided to stop in to check out the atmosphere after dinner. The place was well lit, walk in and does not feel like a regular run down place I…

Arrived in DC with a bit of a mission. To see if the reports of no touch rules were accurate and to see if I could bend those rules. First…

This strip club has a DJ on Friday/Saturdays who uses a loud microphone & speaker to call dancers to the stage. I don't know why they need him. The dancers make it…

I actually thought it was a great place. Wasn't that busy when I went, but I like that since you get more attention from the dancers. The beers are affordable, and the…

This place is a pretty typical dive. When you walk in, it's dark, and it takes a moment for your eyes to adjust. It's pretty much just one big open room, with…

I am a regular visitor of this club visiting it almost every month. I enjoy the specials offered nightly where I always get the VIP seating. It is decent for locals to…

I've been going to this club on and off for many years (20-30). I used to go a lot more when I was younger. But I drop by once and a while,…

The best and worst thing about this place is the location. Best because it's a good neighborhood (next to Ruth's Chris Steak House). Worst because everybody can see you going…

As you know D.C. is not a typical strip club town. Very little contact anywhere. Knowing that, this place is still a fun place to hang. The bartender is very nice and…

I went on a weekday afternoon and it was empty. Empty as in no customers and no dancers. The bartender was a friendly Asian guy but I didn't go there…

Royal Palace is not your average strip club. It's a D.C. locals type bar that happens to have strippers. I arrived right as the bar opened around 3pm. I was the only…

If you want overpriced beer and regret, this is the place for you. Came in on a Friday night, a little early, but several hours after opening. No dancers were in evidence, but…

No cover charge Friday night at around 10. There were two dancers at a time on the main stage and one on the side stage . At least another dozen dancers hanging…

This place is not as bad as some people say, if you've experienced the worst of the worst. They renovated a few years back, and now their 2 stages look a lot…

Arrived around 3:15 on a Sunday to an empty club other than the bartender/manager behind the bar. He was a friendly Asian man with broken but understandable English. I asked if there…

I've been to a couple of clubs in DC, and Royal Palace is so far my least favorite. Immediately upon entering the door, some sort of septic odor assaults you. It would…

Look, I've lived in the District of Columbia for 13 years. And I know better than to spend any serious money in any of our clubs, no matter the reputation or…

Royal Palace is a mixed bag. There were a handful of sexy girls who I wouldn't call beautiful. Rather they were making the best use of what nature gave them and had…

This isn't the strip club to party at. This the dive bar of strip clubs. You just want a few drinks and want see some tits. The age range of the…

I will start the review by stating I should have believed the previous reviews, but took a chance anyway. The place wasn't as bad physically as described, but kind of run down…

Why oh why did I walk through that door. I can think of no reason to com here. Kinda place I'd be afraid of ordering anything that xome a in a glass…

This is a rather small club that feels more like a neighborhood bar - which I mean in the best possible way - which happens to have a couple of poles.…

Was across the street from this club at a hotel and decided to check it out. If not for this site, would not have known it was a strip club - it…

One word: Weak I should've known better (considering, I'm from the DC area and I know my way around the DC Metro strip club scene). Nevertheless, I did want to take a peak…

DC isn't great for strip clubs- no VIP, no lapdances. This club has been around for awhile- I was at Russia house and thought I'd check it out. Was sorry I did. The…

I know I've kinda bashed this club before but I'm afraid I'll have to do it again. This place never seems to improve and that sucks. But then again, it is one…

This place was not bad at all. I came in with some friends after hanging out at the Board Room down the street. There was a variety in music and girls and…

Thirty years after I first set foot in the Royal Palace -- the first club I ever visited -- I stopped in again on a recent weekday afternoon, just for the hell…

I've been to this club a good number of times. The bartenders and bouncers seem to remember me at this point. I usually go when I'm bored. It used to be…

Got to town early so I decided to give club a try. It was about 1:00pm so wasn't expecting much. Cover charge was $20, but they let me in without…

Had some time to spend between meetings so stopped in for the first time in a long time. I immediately was reminded of why I hadn't been in in a long…

Loo, DC sucks for strip clubs. The rules are about as stringent as anywhere I've been, and it's just not much of a scene. You can basically show up here,…

I walked here from my hotel, around 9:00. Walked in, no cover -- just showed ID. And then I looked up and I saw why. There was nearly no…

This was my first return to RT in a couple of years. If thie Thursday night was any indication, the club has gone downhill. Granted when I arrived it was early, around…

Royal Palace gets a bad rap. That doesn't mean it's good in what most most expect, but it has its charm. Two stages, but they try to fit 2 dances…

This place used to be a dump with a few great stage views and a mixed bag of dancers, most of whom displayed themselves as if they were having a gynecological exam.…

Visited this club a few months back when I was in DC for business. The club was walking distance from my hotel - that was the only advantage. For…

I was in town on business and staying at the Hilton right up the street so made an evening stop to the Royal Palace. It’s an odd club, at least…

This is a review from a visit a little ways back so keep in mind things might have changed but this was my personal experience at this club. I don't understand the walking…

First time here, probably will be my last time. I was here thursday around 8 after happy hour. I got there sat by the bar and ordered a beer. There were 5…

The Gold Club this is not. And that is a good thing. There are plenty of really good looking girls here, though there are some not so good looking girls…

I don't know what's wrong with half of the people out there. Let me list why I enjoy going to Royal Palace and why I will continue to go. 1. NO…

Reviewed this club in the past and suggested that folks run away from it. But after reading some newer reviews, I decided to give it another chance and check it out on…

I was in DC for a few days and while I had heard that D.C. clubs were no contact, the club was only one block away from my hotel, so I decided…

Standard royal palace, but after the renovation it does have a bit of different feel (not better or worse, just different). Sunday early evening was a slim crowd, couple of dancers.…

I really enjoy this place - easy to get to, very casual atmosphere - it's a "mom and pop" club, which I also like. The girls are not as drop-dead beautiful as…

If you want a description of the updates to the physical club, you can see other reviews. I will say that, compared to my last visit to DC in 2012, the club…

This is the best review of the Royal Palce that I have ever given. I was pleasently shocked by a recent visit that went very well. As i previously reviewed the club…

Royal Palace is in the Dupont Circle area of DC on Connecticut Ave which is a main drag in that part of town. Parking in the area is challenging. You may…

Went to Royal Palace last Friday night at 11:30pm (for the first time in over 10 years). A lot have changed since I was there last. The place is about…

The Royal Place has gone thru a pretty extensive renovation. Unfortuantely the talent has NOT also been renovated. It is still owned by the oriental dude that seems to employ his entire family.…

Hadn't been in in a while so thought I'd see if anything had changed. Alas, still a dump. Unclean premises. Ugly dancers (look like zombies or otherwise diseased). This place has…

I would say stay away from this place, but better advice would be run away from this place. It is in a nice part of DC, near the embassies and lots of…

Place a great name for an ugly place, an ugly place dirty dancers almost every physical aspect ugly and dirty place no cover charge, drink prices are cheap, if you sell beer. the…

went back to rp after taking a few years off and despite the remodel not much has changed. Frankly i liked the old layout better but no sense living in the past.…

Oh, Royal Palace. It's a neighborhood institution, a source of scandal and a bloody great party. What makes it different is that it's a family business. They honestly care more about…

Guys - I stopped in at Royal Palace on Friday (10 Aug) after work. The place was totally empty. I stayed for a couple hours, and then left. Here…

Wow, what can we say. We went there at 2am when Russia House across the street closed. We were hoping some of the waitresses from Russia House moonlight at Royal…

It was my first experience in a strip club. So my expectations were pretty high. I expected the girls to all be drop dead gorgeous and very attentive. But they all had…

This club used to be a respectable strip club to visit in D.C. but the quality in the dancers have really gone downhill. It's been renovated and the stages look new but…

I dropped in here randomly after work. I got a dance from a pretty gitl named Natalie. She was very perky and gave me good conversation. The majority of the dancers I…

Went to RP around 730p to kill some time after long day in DC. New stage setup, but same old bar and restroom layout. Did not like the change--the old…

So this place has completely upgraded to a modern look. The main stage that used to be a catwalk is now a higher elevated square. Its probably better for the dancer…

Ironically located to the north of the very gay Dupont Circle District, Royal Palace is a convenient diversion from this district. The dancers are average to 8+ and the waitress doesn't really…

When I visited last, this place was a physical dive. Now the stage closest to the door is moved over and all new interior, it appears. The place actually looks kind of…

The Royal Palace is a sketchy old strip club that is in a good area. The Dancers are all over the spectrum from Good to Bad. I find it to…

You can have a better time anywhere else! Crappy, run-down atmosphere. Not kept clean. Surly service. (Count your change twice if I were you.) Poorly laid out seating. Too many fat…

It's a shame that DC is such a strip club wasteland. Considering everything else that happens in this city, why are strip clubs so tame? 'Tis a mystery.... A few years ago,…

Been in this place several times. The decor is straight out the 80's. You can tell it hasn't been updated in decades. There's no DJ so if you stay long…

While on business, I decided to check out this club since I could walk to it from the hotel. My first impression was how empty it was. There were a few patrons…

I went to the Royal Palace on a weekday night with some of my buddies. There was some pressure from the bartenders to keep drinking, and beers were $8. At the end…

Hit this club about 8:30 pm,left maybe 10:00 or so. There were about 12 or 15 dancers doing 2 song sets on 2 stages. One bigger stage sometimes had 2…

In town on business and stopped by the Palace for a late night visit. Still an eclectic mix of dancers, with lots of different body types and backgrounds. Ended up spending most…

The faces don't change much at the Royal Palace -- a lot of the women that were dancing there four years ago when I first went are still dancing there. That's…

I've been in here every once in awhile over the last 10 years and the place has been consistently bad....so much so that I avoid it unless someone I know from another…

This place is across the street from where Ronald Regan almost got killed at this place is terrible. When you walk in you seat yourself then the waitress hound you to buy…

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon around 4-ish (they open at 3). It's a singular open space with a railed off main stage in the foreground as you enter, a mini-stage…

Very disappointed in visit. This was never a great club but I thought the quality of the dancers has gone down a lot since my last visit which I have to admit…

Very small place, and maybe it was just me but it seemed too well-lit. I was only there for 15 minutes, drank a beer, and somehow sobered up. The dancers were a…

This is my favorite club in DC, though that is relative. Layout: It is really just a big room with tables lined up around a large main stage in the center of…

I just looked up the word "skanky" in the dictionary and it said "see Royal Palace in D.C." So I did and it was right. I went on a Friday…

Hadn't been here for a bit; it's sometimes hard to visit during the day as their hours (and days for that matter) keep on changing. Had an Asian and a couple of white…

Visited the Royal Palace .. it was a royal pain. Very rude hostess. Dancers were either drunk or high. The four dancers I saw was a 6 on the ten scale. Locals…

One of my favorite strip club visits ever. Dark, seedy, and unsettling, but fascinating at the same time. One look at the dancers and I was ready to bolt, but…

This place has really changed. It now opens at 3:00. There were 4 girls when i went. They were not model material, but not bad to look at either…

I hadn't been here in a long time, about 5 years ago. I've heard they had made some improvements, so I decided to drop by on the way home one afternoon and…

I haven't been to the Royal Place in about 10 years and I remembered it was a block and a half down from the Hilton where I am staying so I had…

Took a buddy from out of town to the Palace. I hadn't been here in years. The club looks a little nicer than before and the girls were pretty nice.…

Royal Palace is underrated. It's in a great part of town, but isn't the normal fake-tits-on-a-stick place that the other place in the area (camelot) is. So, take that for…
