My husband and I went last night for the first time after researching and our love for 80s, 90s and 2000s music. This place has the right idea but it could be so much better. The dance floors in both rooms are a little small. The 80s was what we were more hyped up to check out as this is the name of the club and we were really disappointed in the music selection that was played. There’s better 80s music played on the radio. There were only a handful that were pretty decent out of the 3 hours we were there. There’s so many big names and top chart songs that weren’t played. It’s like the DJ wasn’t even trying. The 90s and 2000s was pretty good but they might as well rename it the hip hop room instead. We definitely won’t be getting drinks again if we come back like we did, it was almost $200 for 10 rum and cokes! I did my research and read the rules on the dress code and as we entered there was a guy that was really mad at them because he was wearing flip flops cussing them out. The staff didn’t get out of line at all like I’ve read from other reviews. I personally think the dress code made it classier. The staff was all extremely nice, just got really slow as they got busy.

Let me start by saying. This place was a trip...

I'm a Boston boy born and raised. If you're from Boston and are now a Gen Xer, you know what Lansdowne Street and Kenmore Square was like in the 80's. (Spit, The Ratskellar,(aka "The Rat") Narcissus, and so many others...

Well my Wife and I found Studio Eighty in Fort Worth TX recently. In Texas for the birth of our 4th Grandson. We got one night off from watching the other 3 for some dumbfuckery. It was Friday night, ladies night. Ladies got in for free. While I had to wait in a short line to get in, the second I did it was a freakin trip... I was time warped back to the 80s on Lansdowne Street.

The music was 80s (dance) rock and disco. After we got our drinks and got our bearings. We couldn't help it... straight to the dance floor.

It was a mixed crowd. Kids in their mid 20s all the way up to a couple cougars that looked a few years older than me. (I'm 56). The dance floor was never empty in the 2 hours we lasted out there, while we were there. This DJ was awesome but he also made me laugh with the 80s spiked hair and Mullet. Just simply awesome.

If you're ever in Fort Worth Texas, you have to find this place even if you don't dance the music was great, the drinks were decent for the prices.

But it was a straight step back in time for a lot of "Dumbfuckery" to be had.

But as always, don't take what I have to say. Go try it yourself make your own decisions. But most of all, have fun with friends because that's what its all about.

✌️🤘🤙

This is a super fun atmosphere. I actually like the hip-hop bar better than the 80s but the 80s was super fun. Parking sucks because it’s downtown. Fortunately I work downtown so have a parking pass. This is a cool place. Drinks are a little expensive but that’s OK. It was fun.

Wow, this is definitely the best dance club in Fort Worth and maybe North Texas. If you were in Dallas in the '90s and early 2000s, the dance club scene was great especially in Dallas.

This place has two dance clubs, an '80s themed, and a '90s themed dance club.

The DJ was amazing, the music choices in both clubs were awesome! This place boasts an amazing lights display, an incredible sound and audio!

I didn't experience this, but most of the guys who wore ball caps were asked to remove them prior to entry, so fair warning don't wear a baseball cap. They do keep them in the coat check room for you though.

Studio Eighty is a fully immersive 80s-themed nightclub that nails the retro vibe. With two rooms, disco lights, and old music videos streaming on large screens, they’ve put together the perfect throwback experience. There’s even a glowing LED dancing man and costumed dancers who make appearances throughout the night, adding to the nostalgic energy.

The crowd here is full of people who genuinely love 80s music and hip-hop, and the best part? Almost everyone is respectful, which really sets this place apart from other clubs. If you’re into the 80s scene, this is definitely your spot—everyone’s on the dance floor having a great time.

Personally, it’s not my kind of place, but a lot of my friends absolutely loved it. It’s a great pick for themed nights, group outings, or even retirement parties if you’re looking for a fun blast from the past!
