Connecticut offers an upbeat nightlife for locals and visitors. For people looking to jump back in time to the 1970s and early 1980s and work up a Saturday Night Fever, Connecticut has a few disco-friendly options. Although there are no strictly all-disco dance clubs, there are clubs and bars that host disco-themed nights and play disco music with a little modern pop as well, to cater to all tastes.

The Russell is an upscale, classy bar that knows how to have fun after the sun goes down. It has multiple stories and a ground floor with large windows that open up to make the main floor patio-like. Visitors describe the Russell’s atmosphere as a Caribbean beach hotel, tucked away from the outside world, according to the bar’s website.

Every Saturday night, the Russell hosts “Old School Saturdays” where the best of retro disco and soul music is played. After the restaurant closes, the disco party begins from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m. with a live DJ spinning the best old school beats from the disco era, with a little soul and reggae thrown in the mix.

On Thursday nights, Hartford’s hip club Room 960 travels back in time and transforms into Studio 960.

Clubbers can bring the bell-bottoms and John Travolta moves to party at Studio 960 for a five dollar cover. VIP reservations are available with pre-paid drink options.
