cabarets
Singers serve drinks
Cabarets are nightclubs or restaurants offering live entertainment—typically singing, dancing, comedy, or burlesque—while patrons eat and drink.
The format flourished in early 20th-century Paris and Berlin, associated with bohemian culture and risqué performances.
Today cabaret describes both the venue and the entertainment style: a cabaret singer, dinner and a cabaret show.
