I had heard about this place and happened to be in town, so we decided to stop by. I was expecting more of a disco/boogie-fever vibe, but it was more of an '80s-'90s MTV remix night. I think they played maybe one song that I would actually consider disco. (Staying Alive Bee Gees) "Jessie's Girl" and "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" are definitely '80s MTV classics--the remixes were fun, but I was expecting something a little more disco. If they tweaked the music selection a bit, maybe leaning more heavily into actual disco or boogie, I think it could be great. even 80 funk Of course, it's also possible I'm just old and took the name a little too literally. read more

My friends and I always go to Boogie Fever when we want to meet up with our besties. I love the disco vibe very energetic, and they even have a light-up dance floor, which makes it so much fun. The service is bar service only. You have to go up and get your own drink and usually it's packed so it takes a very long time. Don't come here hungry because they don't have food. If you don't want all the noise, they also have a separate bar in the front that's a little more laid back and easier to talk in. We always have a great time when we go. There is a cover charge so keep that in mind. read more

Boogie Fever Cafe & Disco - Bars Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

The music is great. The people are friendly. The dancing is fun. The atmosphere is cool. Parking was nearby and easy. There is no food, but they are pretty clear about that on their website. We had a great time and will go again. read more

A fun place to come with your friends. Has the true feel of a disco. I mean it even has a huge dick ball 2 to be exact! Lazers, smoke machines, light up floor. Today they are playing Early 2000s music. The service is the best ifyou grab your drinks in the first part of the bar when you walk in. Otherwise it's busy once you get on the side where all the boogie fever is happening. No food here ju,st drinks and fyi they don't serve doubles l read more

Honestly this place is a joke the music is ok but having the security guard check me all night between hitting my vape and not saying anything until he was mad ( me not knowing I can't until he said it's your fifth time) not even blowing big clouds then about wearing my hoodie half way up with my face still fully visible I don't even want to talk to a woman here because they might say it's sexual harassment, and to only have not even 50 to 75 people here I understand why they do t have more people here honestly after promoting and being at 15 different night clubs in the metro Detroit area I understand why this was my first time hearing and being at this establishment I will never recommend come or promot this place ever read more

They charge a cover. Drinks are $2 more than anywhere else! $8 for s seltzer and they don't even pour it in a glass with ice. Music was terribly loud. My ears were ringing for the rest of the night. Staff is rude. Even the security, rude. The elevated dance floor is dumb, hasn't anyone tripped and hurt themselves yet? Music was mediocre. Creeper men all over the place. I won't be back. There are so many other places that are MUCH better! read more

This place used to be a lot of fun. The past few times I've gone have greatly disappointed me. For reference, I'm 24, and definitely still go out and can appreciate the club scene. The music is too loud (which I never typically say) you can't even hear your friends tell you when they're going to the bathroom, and once you leave you can still feel the vibration in your chest. Only a few of the 40+ age group know most of the songs they play now, and pretty much none of the younger generations know any of it. I genuinely love older music, but a lot of it is unknown and it's fun for a few songs but after a while it's dreadful to not know any of them. The mashups are AWFUL. They will quite literally go from Dancing Queen to In Da Club not even halfway through the song. It is in fact a club, so obviously the cleanliness is not great - but that's to be expected in my opinion. Idk what happened to this place, but if you're under the age of 30, I don't recommend it. You're much better off going to 5th Ave or Tequila Blue. read more

Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday. Highly recommend reserving a booth! It was nice to have a place to put our stuff, or just sit and take a breather from dancing and the crowd. The light up dance floor was nice but such a hazard! I'm surprised they haven't considered a shorter one. I saw multiple people tripping/stumbling off, including one individual having a great time, but took a step back down the raised dance floor while her other leg flew up in the air and she gave everyone an unplanned show. I was also surprised at how small the dance floor was so everyone tried crowding around it, pushing their way at a chance to get up there. I was definitely in the middle of few times, having a great time, but crowded AF. The best part about Boogie Fever is the huge fans/AC blasting and it felt GREAT!!! So you don't feel that sweaty, hair-sticking-to-your-face feeling at a club. Security was pleasant. Bartenders were okay. read more

The bar tender made my drink taste like battery acid and was unbelievably rude to me when I ask her to remake it. Ok music horrible service.

The music was outdated, I love me a good throw back but it wasn't the good throw backs that you could dance and have a good time to.. also a mixed drink is cheaper than a shot? My friend god a lemon drop mixed drink for $8.50 and I got a lemon drop shot for $10.30??? Make that make sense? Our group stayed for maybe a half hour. If you're looking for a good time in the area go to tequila blue. read more

I loved it here!! I came with a group of friends and I enjoyed all the music they played! So many great throwbacks :D the drinks were also pretty good. We had some lemon drops and I though they were tasty. The bathroom was also pretty clean which was nice and there is a lot of space to dance with a group! read more

Zero stars. Stay away from this place. 3/23/2025. They are out to harm people. I included pictures from injuries sustained at this establishment done by their "security" for NO reason. I wasn't drinking. The rest of my group was drinking responsibly. No one was belligerent or causing trouble. We were dancing and having fun when a bouncer with a power trip tackled my son, pinned him down on the ground, slammed his head into the ground, punched him in the face and tried to squeeze his airway closed. The rest of the injured in the pics were results from our family obviously trying to protect each other while trying to get the heck out of there. Were were all thrown to the cement outside. Then followed with continued assault until police arrived. The WORST experience ever! Stay far far away from this place. Other reviews claim that they prey on young girls and drug them. Head the warnings by protecting your family and just avoid this place at all cost! I have more information if anyone tries to switch blame here (as I've also seen done in other reviews of this club) read more

Long before Boogie became a cougar hang out, it was actually a really fun place to go dancing with friends. I've been here so many times for girls nights out as well as bachelorette parties over the years. It seems to be a favorite stop for bachelor parties in the fancy limo, right? There's lots of good memories dancing around this place over the years and decades. So many laughable memories. This is a good place to make memories that you either want to remember or forget. ;) read more

Came to write a review about the New Years Party and was surprised there are so many bad reviews... ignore all of them. If you hate this place, you clearly just hate fun and shouldn't bother going out at all. This was our second year at the Decades New Years Party. They are always well staffed - the bartenders are so kind and they HUSTLE... the bouncers do a great job of staying on top of any situations that arise and even being very fair/kind about dealing with issues. Someone in our group was kicked out, deservingly so, but the bouncers remained calm and stern, they never got aggressive. Even when the place is packed, you can find quieter nooks to catch your break, in the large hallway areas or the front bar. The DJ lets songs play a little too long sometimes BUT did a great job picking the best hits from each decade. Their New Years decor was whimsical and decadent in the best way possible. I wish they did the champagne toast again this year though, we loved that little detail last year!!! It's a place where people from all walks of life seem to congregate with a common goal of having a good time - we always seem to make friends near us! read more

Paid $5 to come in and sit in an empty bar... bought drinks and when I asked if she could put water in my glass she refused... offered only bottled water. I told her I will just wait for my ice to melt. Never be back. read more

Boogie Fever Cafe & Disco - Empty bar... empty glasses - Bars Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Came here on a Wednesday night/Thanksgiving Eve. It was $20 admission at the door, but $10 online (but the online tickets were sold out). The front bar was pretty empty until about 10/10:30, but the bar in the back was filled to the max. -Two bartenders serving 100+ people. One bartender counted on his fingers the price of each drink and charged a double Jameson drink $15 but only had one shot of Jameson in it. The cheapest bottle of beer (Bud Light) was $7. The other bartender charged cheaper drinks, but used the computer for accurate prices. -The music was 70s-pop hits. The crowd was mostly 20s, but had some older. -The booth was $230(?) and fit 10 people but a random couple continuously tried to sit in the booth, making out and laying down, before being kicked out by our party twice. Not a bad bar, but overpriced on drinks and too expensive for a woman to want to pay at the front door. Probably wouldn't come back unless it was for an event. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! It was my first time and last time coming to this place. Me along with family and friends were treated harshly by the bouncers. I was dancing on a stage platform along with some other girls I was with and everything was fine until my boyfriend and another girls boyfriend joined. It was like the bouncer had something out for the guys dancing with us... seemed sexist. It was very loud in there so it was hard to hear what the bouncer was saying. He then put hands on my boyfriend and the bouncers started the fights first with almost everyone in my group. I was harmless and trying to get out of there ... I am 5'2" and about 100lbs and this 6'5" bouncer shoved me around along with my boyfriends mother with all his might and then put us on our butts in the streets! There was one specific bouncer that was rude and absolutely reckless towards everyone. He was punching and kicking GIRLS. I witnessed my boyfriend's sister laying on the ground as he stomped on her multiple times. I tried asking the bouncer for his name politely and he wouldn't give it to me... shocker. He will not get away with this nor the owners. read more

This place is ridiculous with their drinks. I've never paid $12 for a shot, not even the fancy places in Birmingham. I definitely won't be returning. P.S They don't have straws. YUCK! read more

The only bar I've ever been to to ever charge money for water. $3 for water. Not that that's groundbreaking to the wallet but it seems irresponsible - do better. read more

We had a great night here! My favorite part was all the lights! The light up dance floor and disco ball were great. I was expecting the club to be extremely hot but they have heavy duty fans running the entire night! I didn't sweat at all which kept me dancing the whole night. The only downside was that there were WAY too many people in there. So crowded that when I walked in, I couldn't get from one side of the bar to meet my squad at the other side. Complete traffic jam, which not only means you can't walk, but people are pushing around to get through the crowd and spilling drinks everywhere. They also played some 80s music but it was mixed into more house music, and I wish they played straight up 70s-80s tunes. Overall great time, and will be back. read more

if I could give 0 starts I would, came here for a party Saturday night. my friend and I had left around midnight I left my phone so we had to go back in. one security guard let us through but before I could get to the club 2 security guards dragged me by my arms, and put me out. Literal ASSAULT I have never been treated this way. i will never recommend this place to anyone... plus the music was terrible. I was told the owner is also the Dj So that's says everything I see to know please DO NOT COME HERE read more

Boogie Fever Cafe & Disco - This is the bruise I received from being assaulted by security mind you I'm a 5"4 150lbs female - Bars Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Fun place for a night out! Went here to celebrate my friend's birthday and it was a good time out. They have two bars, one when you first enter and then one in the back by the dance floor. Great ambience, awesome light up dance floor. They play tons of classic songs from the 80's-early 2000's with a few newer hits sprinkled in. Normally they charge $10 for cover to get in, for special events/days it's $20. Well worth coming here at least once for the experience. *Only con is the amount of older men that come here solo just to lurk in the corners. read more

Please read before choosing to go here! This place is so problematic. I've been to Boogie a number of times now but last night I went for my birthday and I am so displeased with this place. Security guards are absolute asshats and were kicking people out all night for no reason. My friend was laying his head on my shoulder and he got kicked out?? I dropped my purse and they shined a flashlight in my face and were looking through my purse and threatened to kick me out literally just because I dropped my bag. If you're going to kick people out left and right at the very least you have to refund them their cover. One of my friends who came has diabetes and had his bag with his insulin and everything he needed and they wouldn't let him bring it in. They searched his bag and there was nothing dangerous or not allowed in there and still made him leave it up front. I'm no ADA expert but I'm pretty sure that's illegal lol. Oh and I totally agree with some of the reviews talking about all the old predatory men here. My friend was invited to sit in the "VIP" booth and we had to pull her out because these creepy guys started preying on her. And the other reviews are right when they say the DJ will not take song requests and is overall just so rude. All the staff are just so terrible. There's a ton of other great places in Ferndale or even in Royal Oak. Boogie is just so unpleasant and I do not recommend. read more

Place is terrible, everyone working is rude and very seedy. I had lulu kakis on, and they said they didn't pass their dress code and that you are required to wear pants (although lulu kakis are in fact pants). Lastly, the drinks taste awful and are very expensive. Literally go anywhere else! read more

PEOPLE ARE GETTING ROOFIED AT THIS BAR PLEASE DONT COME HERE!!!! The staff is doing nothing about it, in fact it's possible that a bartender is doing the drugging. My friend was roofied (confirmed by hospital drug tests) her drink went straight from the bartender and drank immediately after. Please please do not ever come here!!!! read more

Bouncers were extremely rude and aggressive. My friends and I were looking for an amazing night out as it was our first visit to Boogie Fever. Thinking it was an LGBT friendly bar being in Ferndale was my wrong presumption. We will not be returning. Treat your patrons better. The owner should take criticism and reviews more seriously instead of shifting blame and lie on its patrons. Save yourself money and blatant disrespect and go to Orchid around the corner instead! read more

Definitely not a good enough DJ to be that rude. This is the second time the DJ has been unnecessarily rude and offensive. Seems to be a regular there, so I will have to start avoiding Boogie Fever. read more

first time there with a party bus and got kick out for accidentally spilling a drink. I find that funny and pathetic. only an hour or less and we all got kicked out for a drink. I'd love to spea with a manger 100 percent yall. Only one drink and you all lost respect... read more

The DJ on Sat nights here is super lame. Don't waste your time...keep driving... We were here for a friend's b-day and he would not play any requests saying things like "no- I'm not going to play that "....very rude read more

Service is less than desirable. Prices outrageous. Service is slim to none. I've been multiple times and have always thought this, but this specific night sealed the deal. read more

This place is unique in the fact that they play some fun throwback music. Overall I would say you can come here and have a good time. However they are nearly impossible to get ahold of when you want to rent a booth. And finally you rent a booth for $100 and there are NO waitresses... the entire point in getting a booth is so you have someone bring you drinks instead of fighting for drinks at the bar. read more

I had a blast here it was so much fun music was ranging from the 70s all the way up to the 2000s drinks were minimum they had bottles of beer but nothing on tap the wine selection was Neil it was really just for dancing there's only like 6 small table that sit three people and their Booth everywhere that you can reserve kind of strange but for the venue it was May 2nd decorations was awesome really enjoyed it only thing is you have to pay to get in at the front door and walked past this huge bar to the back and the bar in front was deserted but that's because everything was in the back overall it was fine oh and you have to pay for parking even on the weekends and at night enjoy and keep yelping my friends read more

Bartenders took my license along with my debit card, next morning got my information stolen with a compromised card. Never going back. 0 stars!!! read more

Boogie Fever was the first stop of our Surprise Birthday Party Bus. After getting over the fact that it's under construction, we began to enjoy the 80s and 90s dance tunes and get our disco on. This may not be the place for you if you are under 35. But if you are an "older" clubber or enjoy a retro experience, boogie on down. read more

honestly i used to have fun here, but after repeated physical aggression and complete abuse of power by the bouncers and security, it's a disgusting establishment. I contacted the owner about my first experience being grabbed by my arms and yanked backwards while trying to go get my purse after they told me i was " too drunk" when i don't even drink like that. I had maybe 2 drinks and am just a very energetic and sometimes obnoxious person, but they level they went to over it was way more than just wanting me out. It was completely natural for them to put their hands on me and yank me backward. The owner assured me he had a bad egg and would take care of it. Since then, the exact same thing has happened to people i don't even know, as well as me again. This past weekend they were absolutely unreasonable and aggressive to people and when i called them out and said why are you guys like this, you do this every time and it's rude and absolutely unnecessary- he didn't like being called out- so he TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO BLOCK MY WAY PAST HIM PHYSICALLY SHOVE MY 115lb BODY OUT THE DOOR. THE OWNER WAS NOTIFIED. AFTER I ASKED HIM FOR VIDEO FOOTAGE- MY PHONE NUMBER WAS BLOCKED AND ALL SOCIAL MEDIA. MARK MCCONNELL HAS ABSOLUTELY NO REGARD FOR HIS CUSTOMERS AND IS RUNNING THE PLACE INTO THE GROUND. Google has dozens upon dozens or similar experiences, adding racism and humiliation into the mix. This is just overall sad and disgusting. read more

Boogie Fever Cafe & Disco - Bars Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

I've been here once... It's not that I have anything against the place, but I'm convinced that Ferndale is just not the right town for a dance club. Granted, this place has been around for more than a few years, but it just didn't suit my soul. (Even though the whole boogie aspect includes "soul" in the general sense?) Ferndale, to me, seems to work best under the guise of coffee shops, vintage clothing stores and drink-til-you-drop watering holes. Boogie wasn't a bad place to grab a couple drinks and dance. The DJs seem to have a good sense of humor about the whole disco deal - it wasn't just disco, it was a whole cacophony of dancey tunes. Lynne mentioned Madonna. They played "Hung Up," which is about as disco as you need to get. Drinks were middle of the road in price and mix. The mixed drink I had wasn't as watered down as a WAB drink, but not a whole hell of a lot better either. I'd suggest this place if you're looking to get your groove on. If you're looking to get some drinking done, run across the street to Danny's Irish Pub. That's where the drinking happens. read more

Boogie Fever Cafe & Disco - Bars Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Don't pay for a booth they won't let you in they will pick reasons why and won't refund your money is a scam

Was excited to go to this place but the bouncer denied us entry because one of us was wearing Timberlands. The place was empty on a Friday night and they turned 7 of us away. Their website's FAQ section states that they don't allow work boots, but these were brand new $200 boots, clearly not "work boots". I love how their website says this is a place for everyone to feel welcome and loved but we were discriminated against purely for the brand of boots one of us chose to wear on a snowy night. read more

I tried this place several times. The bartenders are homophobic. More expensive drinks if you go the bar with a guy. I expected more. Fun bar overall. Just don't let them know you're gay. read more

Me and a small group had the chance to party here on NYE 2011 and had a blast - or at least I know I had a blast! We arrived as the doors opened to get good seats which I recommend unless you prefer standing through the night. At 9pm the line was only 30 people deep. The service was great, the champagne toast was fine and the pizza buffet was not too chaotic. BTW the pizza was really good for night club pizza. They also added a photo booth which you can only imagine was a ton of fun after a few drinks with friends. Party favors were aplenty and supplied by the house and the music was a great mix. I'd recommend the NYE party at the Fever for sure - it was only $25 for pre-door tickets. read more
