ROCKVILLE, MD –
Tapers & Tequila by RCK is proud to announce The Royal Grand Opening — a premiere evening celebrating the official launch of the DMV’s most distinctive luxury lounge experience. Taking place on Friday, April 3, 2026, beginning at 5:00 PM, this ribbon-cutting event will mark the grand debut of Rockville’s first upscale hybrid destination: a world-class bar, lounge, and private event space unlike anything the region has ever seen.
Nestled at 16819 Crabbs Branch Way in Rockville, Maryland, Tapers & Tequila by RCK is the inspired vision of the team behind Royal Cut Kings — one of the DMV’s most celebrated grooming brands. This bold new venture expands their footprint into the luxury hospitality space, delivering an experience that is equal parts sophistication, culture, and community.
AN ELEVATED EXPERIENCE — BEYOND THE BAR
At the heart of Tapers & Tequila is its stunning bar and lounge — a meticulously designed space draped in rich black and gold finishes, premium lounge seating, a VIP section, an open entertainment floor, and a full-service bar featuring a tequila-forward craft cocktail program. Signature drinks, curated by an expert team, will set the standard for what a luxury lounge experience can look and taste like in the DMV.
The venue also features a private event space — ideal for corporate mixers, birthday celebrations, listening parties, media activations, content creation sessions, and more. With a professional sound system, customizable lighting, and photographer-and-videographer-friendly design throughout, Tapers & Tequila is built to be seen.
Complementing the lounge is the luxury barbershop wing — an executive grooming studio rooted in the award-winning tradition of Royal Cut Kings, offering precision cuts in an atmosphere that feels more like a private club than a conventional shop.
THE ROYAL GRAND OPENING EVENT
The Royal Grand Opening will be an evening of elevated entertainment, signature cocktails, and community celebration. Hosted by the dynamic King Flexxa, with music provided by DJ LES and DJ Gracious, guests can expect an electrifying atmosphere from start to finish. The event will also include a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony and cocktail hour.
“We are more than a barbershop and more than a bar — we are a lifestyle destination,” said the team at Tapers & Tequila by RCK. “Every detail of this space was designed to make every guest feel like royalty the moment they walk through our doors. The Royal Grand Opening is just the beginning.”
