Cabaret

Last night, unwind­ing from a hard week, we stopped by the new Cab­aret out­fit adjoin­ing Chow on Tory Street to check out the enter­tain­ment. It’s a lovely space – the decor is won­der­fully eleg­ant: dark wooden tables, wood louvres, beau­ti­ful car­pet and remark­able light­shades. There’s a warm red back­drop to the stage where I saw Hot Swiss Mis­tress play a late set to an appre­ci­at­ive crowd.

Cab­aret is din­ner (“three course ban­quet style”) and a show every night at 7pm, with a late show on the week­ends. The res­id­ent tal­ent includes Shaken Not Stirred, CA$H, The Han­nah Grif­fen Quar­tet, the Ola Trio and more. Highly recom­men­ded out­fit Bon­anza play next Sat­urday’s show and Grand Prix and the Raskolnikovs are lined up in the next week or two in the late slot. And there’s two for the price of one cock­tails on Wed­nes­days. Mmm.
