The Napoleon Room: Rainbows and Stars Cabaret Series
For a more intimate, sophisticated celebration, make your way into our legendary Napoleon Room cabaret and piano bar. Throughout June 2026, we are proudly presenting RAINBOWS AND STARS, a brand-new live music series specifically designed to celebrate our LGBTQ+ community and our amazing allies.
These cozy, lounge-style Pride Parties are interspersed all month long. Enjoy curated, rotating lineups featuring incredible vocalists, storytellers, and performers – including Gordon Michaels, Katie LaMark, Katie Connor, Josh Redman, and Nick Panagiotou, and more! Grab a classic cocktail, settle into Boston’s premier supper club atmosphere, and experience intimate performances that blend Broadway showtunes, American songbook standards, jazz, and madcap cabaret.
You don’t have to choose between a great meal and world-class entertainment; our full dining and lounge appetizer menu is served directly to your table so you can savor signature entrées, shareable plates, and craft cocktails while the show unfolds. Best of all, there is never a cover charge, and true to Napoleon Room tradition, we wind up every single Rainbows and Stars party with our famous late-night open mic. When the piano opens up to the room, you are invited to step up to the microphone and share your own voice with a loving, supportive crowd!
Come experience intimate, magical performances all month long from our talented lineup of local residency vocalists and special guests. Because this intimate space fills up fast during Pride month, we highly suggest making a table reservation in advance.
