A clandestine French cabaret with sensuous live music, sultry burlesque and variety acts, followed by late-night dancing and lounging in our luscious loft. Two live bands to swoon, sway and dance to, with deliciously naughty performances during and in between. Absinthe and other special libations at the bar. It's also our annual Birthday celebration: we turn 24 this year!

Your night:

- At 9:30pm, free social dance class by Brooklyn Swings, who lead swing and Lindy hop classes in our Loft every Tuesday.

- At 10pm & 11pm, live sets by Voluption, a new brass noir project from HONK NYC: bal-musette accordion folk meets sultry swing.

- During and in between, live cabaret acts by burlesque and variety acts to tease and titillate you.

- At midnight, a special ceremony to meet the Lunar New Year and the New Moon: The Release of Saint Valentine. Do you need to release the love stories of your past and welcome in love stories of your future? Write them all on small cards, and place them into flames with us, summoning a rebirth in celebration of love's boundless offerings.

- After, a live set by HONK Family Band, NYC's homegrown brass street band extraordinaire, as seen at Mayor Mamdani's inauguration. Let go, dance out your feelings, and make room for new love and new joy.

- At 1am, we close with an electro-swing dance party.
