Cabarets are halfway between a concert and a musical. Performers will be singing, acting and sometimes dancing onstage. But the show will also have a casual atmosphere. You are welcome to chat with your friends, or get up and order a themed drink.

Cabarets may also serve food and drinks during the performances. On the other hand, a club is generally a larger, more open space focused primarily on music and dancing. While some clubs may feature live performances, the primary focus is usually on a DJ or live music for dancing and socializing.
