Jack Torchia thought he’d be celebrating his 21st birthday with a big party at his family’s house in Roseland with a bunch of friends before going to the bar at midnight. Coronavirus could have ruined it, but his parents stepped up and made sure they celebrated — safely and in style.

The Torchias turned the family’s garage into “Club Quarantine," complete with his dad serving as the bouncer (he made sure to check his ID with a flashlight before using his walkie-talkie to let the club know he was coming) and his mom serving as a bartender, pouring shots for the whole family. Jack’s sister Emily recorded the occasion and now it’s going viral with millions of views on TikTok.

“He had no idea what was going on or what we had planned,” Emily told NJ Advance Media. “As you can see in the video he looks back at me a few times to share a laugh about how goofy our parents are.”

Large gatherings have been banned during the COVID-19 outbreak, but the Torchia’s made sure the party was safe and special, just the four of them partying in garage-turned-night club, featuring zebra-pattern curtains and a table to serve as a bar.

“Honestly my family is very close and an act like this is very typical for my parents,” Emily said. “They always find a way to make us happy and make our birthdays special. Seeing everyones comments on TikTok about how amazing they are did not shock me at all because they are and I am happy that other people were able to see that as well.”
