Emo Kids, Unite: The Return of an Era
Some nights were made for nostalgia, and Bel-Aire Lounge is ready to take you all the way back to your teenage bedroom walls plastered with My Chemical Romance posters. On Thursday, October 16th, we’re cranking the volume with Taking Back Thursday: Emo Night, a one-night-only event where heartbreak lyrics, heavy eyeliner, and screaming along to your favorite anthems aren’t just encouraged—they’re required.
Las Vegas has no shortage of nightlife, but when it comes to lounges with DJ energy and a theme that hits your heart, Bel-Aire stands in a league of its own. That’s why we’re bringing together three of the city’s top selectors—Hooper, Kugler, and Salmannaq—to spin the soundtrack of a generation.
The Soundtrack of Your Teenage Years
If you lived through the early 2000s emo and pop-punk wave, you already know: these songs aren’t just music, they’re feelings. Get ready to belt out the anthems that defined your youth:
My Chemical Romance – “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)”
Fall Out Boy – “Sugar, We’re Goin Down”
Paramore – “Misery Business”
Taking Back Sunday – “Cute Without the ‘E’”
Panic! At The Disco – “I Write Sins Not Tragedies”
And that’s just the beginning. Our DJs are pulling from the deep cuts too, so whether you were a Warped Tour kid, a mall-emo regular, or just someone who once dyed their hair black for a month, this playlist will hit home.
At Bel-Aire, we don’t just throw parties—we create atmospheres. As the best local lounge in Las Vegas, our focus is on transforming nights out into unforgettable experiences. And with Emo Night, the atmosphere will be nothing short of electric.
Win Big: When We Were Young Festival Ticket Giveaway
Want to make your emo heart beat even faster? We’re giving away tickets to the When We Were Young Festival’s Sunday Show.
That’s right—by showing up to Emo Night at Bel-Aire Lounge, you’ll not only sing your lungs out, but you could also score a golden ticket to the most stacked emo lineup of the year.
Important: you must be present to win. So grab your friends, put on that old band tee, and keep your fingers crossed—it could be you heading to one of the most iconic festivals of our time.
Specialty Cocktails & Emo Vibes
Of course, no night at Bel-Aire Lounge is complete without drinks that match the mood. Our bartenders are crafting specialty cocktails that nod to the emo era—think dark, moody, and dangerously delicious.
Pair that with Bel-Aire’s stylish interiors and high-energy atmosphere, and you’ve got more than just a night out—you’ve got a full emo revival. Unlike your average bar, Bel-Aire specializes in curating immersive themes with music and drinks to match. That’s why locals and visitors alike rank us among the best lounges with DJ talent in Las Vegas.

How to Prepare for Emo Night
We know you’re ready, but here’s your checklist to make sure October 16th hits like the breakdown in a Hawthorne Heights song:
Wear Your Emo Best – Band tees, studded belts, Vans, Converse, skinny jeans, eyeliner. The more throwback, the better.
Warm Up Your Vocals – These songs are meant to be screamed, not whispered.
Bring Your Crew – The only thing better than belting out “Helena” is doing it arm-in-arm with your friends.
Arrive Early – You’ll want prime spots near the DJs and your shot at the ticket giveaway.
Why This Night Matters
Nostalgia has power. Emo Night at Bel-Aire Lounge isn’t just about reliving the past—it’s about making the present unforgettable. Music has always been about community, and events like this remind us of the bonds formed over shared playlists and mixtape swaps.
By hosting this event, Bel-Aire is proving once again why it’s not just a bar—it’s the best local lounge where music, culture, and memories collide.
