Bentonville Dials It Back to 1989 for a Neon-Fueled Dance Party

Danger Dave’s is turning back the clock to the decade of neon lights, synthesizers, and dance floors that never quit. The downtown Bentonville bar is hosting an 80s throwback party that celebrates everything the decade did right, from new wave anthems to dance hits that still hold up today.

The Brighter, The Better

The dress code is simple. Go loud or go home. Spandex, shoulder pads, and anything that glows under a blacklight are strongly encouraged. Raid your closet (or your parents’ attic) for your boldest neon pieces, tease your hair to the heavens, and commit to a look that would make Cyndi Lauper proud. This is your chance to wear those electric blue leg warmers without judgment.

All Night on the Dance Floor

The DJ takes over at 8 PM and keeps the energy going until close. Expect to move, sweat, and sing along to every chorus you didn’t realize you still had memorized. This is the kind of night where staying seated feels wrong and dancing with strangers feels right.

Why Downtown Bentonville Needs This

Danger Dave’s has earned its reputation as a downtown staple for good reason. The bar knows how to throw a party. This throwback night gives you the opportunity to dance like nobody’s watching (even though everyone definitely will be) and celebrate a decade that understood the assignment when it came to having fun.

Whether you experienced the 80s firsthand or you’re discovering the era through Stranger Things, this party welcomes anyone ready to embrace synth-heavy beats and questionable fashion choices.
