Brighter Days returns to its Brooklyn home at Café Balearica. For new Matineers, Brighter Days our vintage dance & vocal house night. As always, 21+ legally. 30+ culturally. Pizza included.

What To Expect

It’s a Matinée event, so you can expect to have a wild night that ends at 10pm surrounded by a beautiful crowd of seasoned aka Millennial(ish) party people. Here’s our Reel from the last Brooklyn event.

For those that have been to a Matinee before, a few differences to note…

The Venue

For those who haven’t been, Café Balearica is an immaculate 2-story disco on the corner of N11 & Berry. Upstairs is a light & plant-laden lounge, while the basement is a deep disco. Check it out on IG.

Resident DJs

Max August, Vosters, & YaGirl Ash along w/ a special guests

The Music

There’s two floors. In the basement, we’ll go full club vibe. Expect mostly 80-00s dance & vintage vocal house. Although tbh we tell our DJs to get creative at this event and mix both originals, remixes, and tracks inspired by the vintage sounds.

Upstairs, we’ll be keeping it groovy. More electronica and disco house for the most part, but really whatever gets the people moving.

Here’s a bit of what you might expect…

• Spotify Playlist: “House of Matinee” or “Ultimate Dance Party“

The Dress Code

Per usual, nothing too strict, but vibes encouraged.

About Matinée

Love to party, but also love a good night’s rest? (Looking at you millennials 👀)

With Matinée, you can have both.

It’s a “night time” dance party that lets you have a wild night out…and be home by 11pm.

The party starts at 5pm, peaks at 8, over at 10. Oh and we serve pizza around 7pm to give you a second wind.

Some reviews from past Matinéers…

“Omg y’all solved nightlife.”
“This is the most fun I’ve ever had before 9pm.’
“I feel way too young to be here” – Gen Z

The Matinée Mission

Nightlife pretty much only caters to 20 somethings. Matinée wants to change that.

We’re working to create a space where our fellow Millennials and beyond can step away from adult responsibilities and let loose for a while – creating memories with old friends and hopefully make some new ones.

If that sounds like your ideal night, we hope you’ll join us.
