The ‘90s are back in a big way — from fashion to TV shows and music. If you love all things from the decade, mark on your calendar for these six ’90s events happening this spring. They include dance parties, a concert, a themed pop-up speakeasy, and more.
Back 2 the Video Store: A ‘90s Speakeasy Bar
Through March 15
After successful pop-ups in cities like New York and Miami, Back 2 the Video Store has come to DC. The ‘90s speakeasy-style bar at the National Union Building is video-store-themed and adorned with lava lamps, Pogs (remember those?), and TV and movie scenes turned into photos on the walls. Each ticket includes a 90-minute reservation and a Y2K-themed cocktail or mocktail. Other food and drinks will also be available for purchase. 918 F St. NW, Washington, DC
Rewind to Y2K
March 7, doors open at 7 p.m., show is at 8 p.m.
Grab your best friend and head to Jammin’ Java for a dance party featuring hits from the ‘90s and ‘00s. Relive songs from artists like Missy Elliott, Britney Spears, Eminem, and more. The all-ages event has DJ D, who will be spinning all the hits to take you down memory lane. 227 Maple Ave. East, Vienna
Now That’s What I Call Drag: ‘90s Edition

If you raced home for TRL every day after school, this is the event for you. Enjoy a throwback evening hosted by drag queens Makayla Starr and Orpheus Rose at Continues Arcade.
