Announcing: 1978! Studio 54 Reimagined
Monthly Party Launches at Spy Bar with a Disco Halloween Bash

1978 is a dance party celebrating timeless music—disco, funk, R&B, soul, house music & beyond! This Halloween, 007 meets Studio 54 on Friday, October 31 as this legendary dance experience launches its exciting new monthly residency at Spy Bar Boston!

1978 Founder & resident selectress Iriela made her debut in 1996 on the airwaves of WERS-FM Boston, and now returns home as an international DJ, producer, and special agent of vinyl to deliver a experience you won’t forget. From 9pm–2am, she’ll spin the sounds that defined generations—reimagined for 2025.

Dress to Express! Costumes encouraged. Inspiration: Disco glamour, 1970s SuperFly funk, art house Basquiat, and 007 secret agents of love.

Prepare for a night that transports you into a hi-fi fusion of music, art, fashion, and dance, reimagining the golden age of Studio 54 with the intimate modern energy of Spy Bar—a hi-fi vinyl listening lounge tucked beneath The Revolution Hotel at 40 Berkeley Street. Expect craft cocktails, bold late-night bites, and the signature drink “I Feel Love”—where smoky mezcal meets honey on your tastebuds.

The night ignites with The Early Edition Disco at 7pm—an exclusive warm-up for the movers and groovers who like their nights bold but their mornings intact. Slide in early, claim your spot on the dance floor, and let the DJ set the vibe as cocktails flow and the energy builds toward Selectress Iriela’s full-throttle Studio 54 takeover at 9pm.

Before or after the dance floor, pop upstairs to Cósmica for their Day of the Dead celebration—a vibrant scene of Mexican food, tequila cocktails, and Latin sounds—then drift back down into the groove.

Eat. Drink. Dance. Repeat.

A sophisticated Halloween for those who still know how to have a good time.
