In September 2024, Pour Behavior, the hospitality group behind The Saint, announced an exciting rebrand for the beloved speakeasy: The Ball. Located at [insert address], this vibrant new venue promises a unique and thrilling experience. ZaZoo’d, the award-winning design team that originally crafted The Saint’s aesthetic, returns with a fresh theme inspired by the iconic disco ball. The Ball is set to fully debut in February.
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.”
