The Red Pavilion

I saw Wicked City Burlesque. Was $40 cover (inc seat) + $40 mandatory drinks for one person. Doors didn't open til 11, show started at 11:20 and was over by 12:40, inc a 20m intermission. One performer went once. One went twice. The MC did a sword swallowing routine, and then the show was over. Felt overpriced for ~1h of old timey music with a few acts sprinkled in. Despite advertising it on their website, there was no coat check. Erica, the delightful cocktail waitress, was super sweet and collected everyone's coats anyway. I admittedly arrived grumpy having had to wait so long to get in. The show was fun, the decor was pretty, the cocktails were tasty, and I've already sung Erica's praises. Still I don't quite feel like I got what I paid for. I've been to house parties that had longer burlesque sets.

The idea of Jazz plus classical anime music is marvelous! Very cute and cozy, nice service. I love it

I've come here for 3 separate shows but have to say that the Catbus Collective's Studio Ghibli / Anime Night was one of my favorite performances thus far! I am consistently impressed with the performances and the performers, as well as how good the service is considering how cramped the space can be. The staff always does the best it can to make it the best night possible - I recall the very first time I went, the power was shut down throughout the whole block, but they had the emergency lights on as well as candles everywhere so still felt very magical and intimate. I do recommend reserving seats if you can, as it does make the night that much more enjoyable. The food isn't anything to write home about (which is alright, given it's not meant to be a dinner spot), the drinks are great, and the ambiance was beautiful. The pianist was such a great and charismatic host, but above all I was blown by how smooth and curated the performance was. Would recommend!

Came for studio Ghibli night to see the Kappas Collective in Thursdays the drinks and food were good and the music was super enjoyable.

My husband and I bought a table last Thursday for the Ghibli & Anime Jazz night and had such a blast! The drinks were delicious (my favorite was the Moon), we had a couple of snacks which were very small, but we expected that knowing it’s not a dining establishment, and the vegan jerky was aaamazing! The Catbus Collective was so fun and put on such a great show. I will definitely be following them and hope to come back to catch another show!

Amazing place for aapi community events and cool people who come here to chill and listen or watch live events. Great programs, jazz, burlesque, dancing

Amazing show and atmosphere! Highly recommended

went for Ghibli jazz night and had an incredible time, will absolutely be back :)

Highly recommend “lust, caution.” The caliber of the performers across the board was exceptional, the space is beautiful, and the setup and pacing of the event were great. Can’t wait to return!

such a great atmosphere, amazing entertainers, lovely people & a lovely space!!!
