In September 2024, Pour Behavior, the hospitality group behind The Saint, announced an exciting rebrand for the beloved speakeasy: The Ball. Located at 49 24th St N, this new venue offers a unique and thrilling experience. Dazzling disco balls, a long bar illuminated in pink, a wall of pop culture icons, and a bathroom covered in sparkling pink wallpaper are just some of the mesmerizing design elements inside this intimate venue. Follow The Ball on Instagram to learn more.

Pour Behavior states, “The disco ball is one of the most iconic queer motifs, particularly within LGBTQ+ nightlife. It is an invitation to meet others, dance freely, and be yourself…The design is pop-art inspired, not shying away from bold colors and vibrant accents, but perhaps the most notable feature will be the custom-designed disco ball DJ booth as the bar’s centerpiece.”
