.’90s Nite at the Ritz

Aug 18, 2021

A person wearing glasses, a black leather jacket with studs, a black shirt, a studded belt, and a black-and-white bandana stands in front of a wooden door and graffiti-covered wall. — DA BOMB: The '90s are alive and well and just as phat as ever at '90s Nite.

The ‘90s really started over 30 years ago—now, take a chill pill and get ready to get jiggy with it. This Thursday, the guys behind the Emo Night Tour bring the best of the ‘90s back, and with jams from the Beastie Boys to TLC, Green Day and Fatboy Slim, people will be dancing their beepers and skate shoes right off. To get the slacker vibes really going, the club will also host beer pong and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater on stage, and play classic ‘90s cinema like Clueless and Can’t Hardly Wait on the bar’s TVs. This time around, there’s no need to bug a friend’s older brother to buy beer.
