Throwback Saturdays

by Jacob's Lounge

Think the best music ever made came out of the 90s and 2000s? You’re not wrong! From Aaliyah to Usher, TLC to Destiny’s Child, Boyz II Men to Mary J. Blige — that era gave us R&B hits that STILL slap to this day. And guess what? You don’t need to be 21 to hit the dance floor. If you grew up slow dancing to “Nice & Slow” or knew every word to “No Scrubs,” this night is literally made for you. Age ain’t nothing but a number (shoutout Aaliyah 😏) the OGs still got the moves! Pull up to Throwback Saturdays TONIGHT at Jacob’s Burrow in Dartmouth. DJ Ricardo is spinning the best 90s vs 2000s hits from 10PM to 2AM. $10 cover 19+. 106 Portland Street, Dartmouth Presented by True North Event Services Sing. Dance. Relive the golden era.
