Where to dance to 80s music in NYC?
August 23, 2016 9:47 AM   Subscribe

I love dancing to 80s (and 90s) music, but with Culture Club now closed, I'm not sure where to go in New York City. Are there any new dance places that are devoted to 80s/90s music, or that have "80s nights"? Thanks!

yeah, definitely the Pyramid. I've never gone to Culture Club but I've spent countless 80s nights there and they get a good mix.

Response by poster: Sorry, "new" was the wrong word. I really meant "new to me"!

Webster Hall has a 90s party every Friday night.

Sway has a Smiths/Morrissey night every Sunday if that's something you're into.

Response by poster: I do love the Smiths, but Sway appears to be closed. :(

Ditto to Pyramid Club.

Bell House in Gowanus has periodic (every 6 weeks or so) '90s dance parties and the occasional '80s dance party as well. Get there early (like, before it actually starts), or you'll be waiting on line for a long time.

Response by poster: Ah but apparently the Smiths Nights have moved over to the Rumpus Room.

C'mon Everybody in Bed-Stuy has a regular 80's & 90's night. Link

Yeah, Pyramid Club is the default, but I'm actually underwhelmed every time I go there. Too much pop, not enough New Wave.

I miss Sex Dwarf, a regular 80s night in Philly, with a focus on the good stuff, and a DJ who was spinning in the prime. (If you're ever in Philly, it's still around—second Fridays at Club Mousai.)

Beauty Bar in Union Square has a nice retro mix on Friday nights incl tons of 80's and 90's
