Concourse Dance Bar Just Underwent a Makeover and is Hosting a Reopening Party to Show Off the New Digs
After seven years of nightlife, FCM Hospitality’s Concourse Dance Bar (1635 Market – Back Entrance) has just underwent a makeover and this Thursday is your chance to check out the updates. The 15,000 sq. ft. venue was revamped by Philly-based designers and event curators Valerie Teachout, and Jill Keys of Extra Blonde Events and “promises something for everyone, and there are plenty of surprises at every corner,” Valerie states.
The re-launch party will take place Thursday October 10th from 9 pm until midnight and will be sponsored by Red Bull. Entertainment for the night will include:
- DJ’s Ben Arsenal & Jewelsea
- Complimentary Glitter Station and Air Brush Station
- Custom Drinks in every new room to match the theme
- Free Entry
- Clowns, Dragons, Frogs
- Sexy Burlesque performance
- 9ft Mushrooms
- Selfie Stations
- New and improved ball pit
With room for 1,400, concert-level speakers, a state-of-the-art light system, a spacious dancefloor, and second floor mezzanine, Concourse Dance Bar offers plenty for those looking for a great nightlife experience.
The famous ball pit aka “the pool” was also refreshed and ready for those looking to make cool IG and Tiktok content. In the back bar, guests will find Philadelphia’s only ice bar. Artist Peter Slavin carved Philadelphia imagery into ice, complete with a picture of Flyers mascot Gritty. The bar is housed in a 1,000 square foot Ice Room. A dollhouse motif diorama has retro, millennial inspired vignettes, with a touch of innuendo. Behind the dollhouse, take a trip to the black lit Mushroom Room, complete with a six foot mushroom statue and neon lit plants. Vintage photobooth offers black and white photo strip mementos of the evening.
“A nightclub that could be described as an immersive nightlife experience that combines playful elements and sophisticated aesthetics. It’s a venue designed for adults to unleash their inner child, featuring a colorful ball pit for whimsical fun, an ice bar for a unique and visually striking drink experience, and interactive art exhibits that engage all the senses. It’s more than just a place to dance — it’s a blend of art, entertainment, and social interaction, creating a multi-sensory playground that redefines the traditional nightlife scene,” states FCM owner Avram Hornik.
