cabaret
Dinner show venue
A cabaret is a nightclub or restaurant offering live entertainment—typically singing, dancing, or comedy—while patrons eat and drink.
The term also refers to the style of entertainment itself, often featuring intimate performances with a master of ceremonies: She got her start performing cabaret in small clubs.
The genre evokes a particular atmosphere of sophistication, irreverence, and theatrical intimacy.
