Description
On the block since 2014, El Rey runs loud, lively, and just the right amount of messy. Colorful graffiti frames a space with pool tables, a refreshed Tex-Mex-inspired menu, and cocktails built with house-crafted mixes. Over a decade into its run, it remains a go-to anchor for 9:30 Club pregames, game-day watch parties, and weekend nights out.
