Hustle into the new Good Night John Boy in Delray Beach, where a vibrant ’70s disco atmosphere awaits. Set to open on May 15, this nostalgic nightclub is located in the former Delray Beach Market building near Atlantic Avenue. As you step inside, you’ll encounter an explosion of harvest gold and avocado green colors, reminiscent of a pre-Reagan Era living room. Vintage decor fills the space, from corded rotary telephones and wood-paneled walls to posters of Farrah Fawcett and hanging disco balls.

The club’s co-owner, Michael Schwartz, aims to capture the essence of his childhood home in Cleveland, Ohio, which influenced the venue’s design. Schwartz reminisces about his childhood’s grungy basement, filled with nostalgic items like orange shag carpets and a collection of beer cans. The nightclub features not just a dance floor but also a variety of cocktails named after the retro vibe, such as the Dirty Ashtray and Chevy to the Levee, alongside a menu of classic bar foods.

Despite the throwback theme, Schwartz notes that the clientele is largely young, drawn in by the allure of ’70s hits like "Funkytown" and "Disco Inferno." Patrons come dressed in bell-bottoms, eager to dance the night away on a light-up floor inspired by "Saturday Night Fever."

Good Night John Boy is one of six locations across the country under the Forward Hospitality Group, founded by Schwartz and partners Dante Deiana and Bobby Rutter. Their goal is to craft immersive nightlife experiences. Schwartz suggests that the playful and intricate themes they develop reflect personal memories, creating unique environments that resonate with patrons.

For the menu, Schwartz opted for modern takes on classic favorites. Items include delicious bar pizzas like the Smokey Robinson and the Kevin Bacon, along with burgers served on Martin’s potato rolls. The drink menu features a fun collection of cocktails, including disco-themed options that offer playful twists on traditional drinks.

The grand opening on May 15 is expected to draw those eager for a taste of nostalgia mixed with a lively atmosphere at 33 SE Third Ave., Delray Beach. For more information, you can visit GoodNightJB.com/delraybeach.
