The Happy Hours turns that early-evening lull into a full-on dance floor takeover, with a live DJ pulling from decades of throwback hits — think ’80s synth pop, ’90s R&B and hip hop, and early 2000s bangers that everybody somehow still knows every word to. It's built for the crowd that grew up on these songs, now trading the usual after-work wind-down for one that starts right when the sun goes down and keeps going strong for hours.

This particular installment, dubbed Grey Witch, leans into a moodier, mysterious-realm kind of energy — a fitting match for the venue's dim lighting and cocktail-lounge atmosphere over at DarkArts. Expect craft drinks, a room full of people who aren't afraid to sing along, and a setlist that jumps from one generation-defining track to the next without much warning. It's the kind of night where the drinks flow easy and the nostalgia hits just as hard as the bassline.
