Club Curfew

DJ Gregarious is back at Lola's Room on Thursday, October 22, for another edition of Club Curfew. It's a monthly happy hour dance party, and the whole thing kicks off at 4 PM, which is the point of the night: it's billed as the one where "your night and your weekend start EARLY." If you're used to the dance floor not waking up until midnight, this flips the script and puts the party in the late afternoon.

Gregarious is the one behind the booth, and the format stays pretty consistent from month to month. Every edition comes with its own theme, so the vibe shifts each time. Along with the music, there are drink specials and videos running, and Gregarious works in the crowd's best requests throughout the set. It's less of a curated DJ set and more of a dance party that lets the room shape what gets played.

Because it's a monthly thing, you can drop in whenever it fits your schedule without worrying about missing a one-off show. The early start means you're on the dance floor while most people are still at their desks, and you're done and out the door long before the late-night crowd even arrives. If you've got a long weekend ahead or just want to get your dancing in early, it's a good way to kick things off.

Club Curfew is at Lola's Room, 1332 W Burnside St, in Portland. It starts at 4 PM on Thursday, October 22, and entry is $10.99 for those 21 and over.
