Cabaret
Dinner with entertainment
Cabaret is a form of entertainment featuring music, comedy, and dance, typically performed in a nightclub or restaurant while patrons drink and dine.
The venue itself is also called a cabaret.
The style suggests something intimate and slightly risqué—torch songs, satirical sketches, sequined performers: We caught a cabaret show in Berlin.
The word evokes the smoky nightclub culture of early twentieth-century Europe.
