“The Red Pavilion comes alive as the sun sets, transforming into a smoky neon-lit cabaret venue and nightclub after dark.”

Chinese teahouse and apothecary by day, live jazz, cabaret, and nightclub by night. This venue is at the top of our NYC bucket list. The Red Pavilion is the coolest spot for live jazz, dim sum, and drinks.  We recommend booking in advance for the Friday jazz and burlesque show.
