Céline Lounge to Host Matinée Dance Party: Supper Club Edition Blending Fine Dining and Nightlife in Center City
Philly’s acclaimed Matinée Dance Party returns this fall with a sophisticated twist, teaming up with Céline (1224 Walnut) , Center City’s newest nightlife destination, for an evening that reimagines the traditional night out. The Supper Club Edition will take place on Saturday, October 18, transforming early evening into a vibrant mix of dinner, cocktails, and dance.
Tucked discreetly behind Walnut Street’s bustling corridor, Céline Lounge is an intimate hideaway defined by its dim lighting, lush design, and seamless transition from supper to sound. Guests can begin their evening with elegant shared plates and curated cocktails before moving effortlessly onto the dance floor as the energy builds throughout the night.
The event will feature a soundtrack curated by DJ Eddie Tully, hosted by Jay from Wooder Ice Media, and will span decades of hits — from the disco and funk of the 70s to the party anthems of the 2000s and 2010s.
Limited General Admission tickets are $15, while dinner packages start at $65, offering guests a complete dining and entertainment experience. Reservations and tickets are available at MatineeDanceParty.com.
“Bringing the energy of a Matinée Dance Party to an ultra-chic space like Céline made perfect sense,” said Jay the Gentleman, co-founder of Matinée Dance Party. “Our guests crave an elevated atmosphere where they can enjoy great food, music, and energy all in one place.”
He continued, “Our partygoers no longer have to choose between dinner reservations or dancing — they can do both. We’ve created an experience that feels indulgent yet relaxed, and the music is always the heartbeat of the night.”
The Supper Club Edition is designed to align with Matinée’s signature approach to nightlife — sophisticated yet unpretentious, energetic yet social. Recently named “Best Dance Party” by Philadelphia Style Magazine in 2025, Matinée continues to redefine what nightlife looks like for the city’s 30+ crowd.
