Need to Know For Royalty

What is Royalty: The Royalty Happy Hour is where Black excellence meets good vibes. Hosted by MelaninCon, this event is all about bringing our people together to connect, vibe, and celebrate in style. It’s a laid-back but lit space with great music, signature cocktails, and a whole lot of culture. Whether you’re here to network, catch a vibe, or just enjoy the energy of the room, this is where we shine together—unapologetically Black and proud.

Seating is limited, on a reserved and first-come, first-served basis. This is a mix-and-mingle event and is not meant to be an event where you only sit with people you know. So network, expand your network, and have fun!

Moët is the event sponsor and is sponsoring the first hour of drinks with an open bar (drink ticket style). Upon arrival, you will recieve a drink ticket to redeem at the bar. There will be a curated drink menu of Hennessy Moët cocktails. Drink and bottle specials will be available all night for the event. Off-the-menu drinks are also available.
