Cabaret Nights
Consider the interplay of sense and sensibility as a lens through which we engage, connect and observe the world and environments around us. Pearl Hour taps into just this with many of the bar’s events, especially a cabaret show held the first Thursday of every month – an evening infused with sensual dance and sultry music. The quirky yet refined cocktail bar, known for its character and class, invites patrons to indulge in their “Dirty Martini Cabaret.” This monthly show is a feast for the senses, blending live jazz, burlesque performances and of course aromatic craft cocktails for an unforgettable experience.

The performance runs for two weekends. Then Elvis leaves the building and we’re once again left with Taylor Swift. [DF]…
