About cabaret names

Cabaret names carry more than a century of nightlife history. The form was born in 1880s Montmartre, where artists' cafés took names like Le Chat Noir and Le Mirliton, and it spread to Berlin, where Weimar-era Kabaretts such as the Kabarett der Komiker and Die Weiße Maus mixed satire, song and scandal. Later came the Parisian spectacle houses, the Soho supper clubs, and the neo-burlesque revival that still borrows the same vocabulary of velvet, feathers, absinthe and sin.

Because of that lineage, the strongest names tend to fall into a few recognisable shapes. French venue names often pair an article with an animal, colour or object (Le Papillon Noir, La Lune Rousse, Le Coq Doré) or take the form "Cabaret X" and "Chez Someone". German names use "Kabarett" plus a single vivid compound noun such as Nachtfalter or Zuckerpuppe. English-language clubs favour "The" plus a plush, slightly decadent image: the Velvet Curtain, the Gilded Birdcage, the Tarnished Halo. Revues and troupes lean on alliteration, a host's name, or a wink at the audience (Sequins & Sin, the Bad Habit Revue).

Whatever the style, a good cabaret name should look right in neon and in a programme's gilt lettering, promise a little mischief without tipping into vulgarity, and be easy for a compère to announce.

How to choose cabaret names

  • Decide whether you are naming a venue, a show or a troupe. Venues suit nouns and places (Salon Rouge, the Peacock Room); shows suit "Revue" or "Follies"; troupes suit plural or host-led names (the Scarlet Sisters, Madame Zola's Parlour of Song).
  • Borrow a language for atmosphere. French signals romance and Montmartre glamour, German signals Weimar satire and bite, and plain English with "Club" or "Supper Club" signals Art Deco America.
  • Keep the innuendo to one layer. Names like the Velvet Noose or Lace & Larceny hint at danger or vice; anything more explicit limits where you can advertise.
  • Say the name out loud as a compère would, followed by "proudly presents". If it trips, shorten it.
  • Search for trademark conflicts and existing venues before printing posters; many classic-sounding names (Moulin, Lido, Folies) are protected or strongly associated with famous houses.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a name sound like a cabaret rather than a bar or nightclub?

Cabaret names usually evoke performance and intimacy: theatrical words (curtain, footlights, revue, salon), plush textures (velvet, satin, feathers), and a touch of old-world language such as French or German. A nightclub name tends to be shorter and more modern, while a bar name leans on drink and place.

Can I use these names for a burlesque troupe or a drag show?

Yes. The revue and troupe names in the list (the Bad Habit Revue, Showgirls & Scoundrels, Sirens of the Sawdust) work directly for burlesque, drag and variety companies, and the venue names make strong themed show titles too.

Are famous cabaret names like Moulin Rouge included?

No. Names such as Moulin Rouge, Le Chat Noir, Crazy Horse and the Lido are real, often trademarked venues, so the list avoids them and offers original names in the same spirit instead. Several appear in the introduction only as historical context.

What is the difference between a cabaret and a Kabarett?

Historically the French cabaret focused on song, dance and spectacle, while the German Kabarett of the Weimar era was sharper and more political, built around satirical sketches and chansons. Using the German spelling in a name signals that darker, wittier tone.
