Grab your entire wedding party and head to Fenway to celebrate the loudest and proudest decade that is never to be forgotten. On December 31, grab your leg warmers and scrunchies, peg those pantlegs, and pile on the hairspray as you party like it’s 1989 at this landmark Boston bar. The totally ‘80s-themed affair will have DJ Carney Lansford blaring the best of Prince, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran and more as revelers are treated to a midnight champagne toast, party favors and a few special prizes like tickets to sporting events and brewery tours.
The world famous Cask 'n Flagon began as a small neighborhood bar known as Oliver’s in 1969. What was once known as the little bar on the corner of Brookline Avenue and Lansdowne Street is now a landmark location for diehard Red Sox fans, sports enthusiast, college students, locals and tourists. Many have said that the Cask 'n Flagon is as synonymous to Fenway Park as the infamous Green Monster and Citgo sign.
With the Rubiks cube being the toy of the decade, the '80s will always be popular and fondly remembered. But if you're a '90s baby like us that wants to attend, you may need some guidance traveling back in time to prepare for this party. We're here to help! Here's a synopsis of this decade to get you "retro"-fitted for New Years.
More than anything else in the eighties, music was heavily produced. Everyone knows the classic sounds: huge reverby snare drums, lots of delay on the vocals, electronic rhythms and synthesizers. But did you know, the music industry in the 1980s was driven mostly by the success of a wildly popular new music cable channel called MTV? For the first time in history, image was just as important as the music. A good music video could instantly catapult a new act to stardom. Consider dressing as one of the '80s lead vocalists for this occasion!
By the mid-80s, bright colored accessories like sunglasses, bangles and hoop earrings were a necessity. Teased hair, loud makeup and neon were an important part of this style. But that didn’t mean all women dressed this way. In fact, it was an exceptionally flexible time when a woman could wear skin-tight cotton stirrup pants with leggings and a giant turtleneck sweater one day — and parachute pants with a small v-neck top and a high-waist belt the next. Trends always come back in style, right?! Can't go wrong with any of these ensembles!
There's nothing like a good 80's theme to take you into 2018. Get the band back together and devour the details of a retro New Years Eve at Boston's very own Cask 'n Flagon!
Once you get through initial "I know what's best" attitude of the manager here, you will agree that - he DOES know what's best, and he does not treat you like just some paycheck. During my wedding at wedding venues NYC, the wait staff was absolutely the best.
