Perhaps it can be attributed to the fact that the place was formerly a strip joint. Located down a back alley on the popular Ossington strip, Jezebel Burlesque bar has had a complete makeover since those seedy days with champagne colored brocade wallpaper and luxe chandeliers. Hostesses in maid’s uniforms have replaced the bouncers, while the cutesy [burlesque dancers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jazz-bar-experience) have replaced the strippers, making Jezebel Burlesque bar one of the [hippest spots this summer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/w-torontos-skylight). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Burlesque Revival:** The Jezebel Burlesque bar in Toronto is part of a larger trend towards the revival of burlesque entertainment, providing opportunities for businesses to tap into the growing demand for unique and nostalgic nightlife experiences. - **Restoration of Strip Joints:** The transformation of former strip joints into trendy and classy venues like the Jezebel Burlesque bar presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to revitalize and rebrand adult entertainment establishments. - **Alternative Nightlife Experiences:** The rise of establishments like the Jezebel Burlesque bar reflects a growing desire among consumers for alternative nightlife experiences that deviate from traditional nightclubs and bars, creating opportunities for businesses to offer unique and immersive entertainment options. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry has the opportunity to capitalize on the increasing popularity of burlesque and alternative nightlife experiences by opening more venues similar to the Jezebel Burlesque bar. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can explore partnerships and collaborations with burlesque bars like Jezebel to offer guests distinct and memorable experiences that go beyond conventional hotel and restaurant offerings. - **Adult Entertainment:** The adult entertainment industry could potentially disrupt its own traditional model by transforming strip joints into sophisticated burlesque bars, catering to a more diverse and discerning clientele. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jungle Brunch Toronto Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chotto-matte-patio.md) - [Chic Ballroom Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ballroom-bowl.md) - [Historic Cocktail Bar Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/library-bar.md) - [All-Black Touring Burlesque Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touring-burlesque-company.md) - [Laid-Back Australian-Inspired Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/australianinspired-bar.md) - [Luxurious Asian-Inspired Steakhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torontos-premier-supper-club.md) - [Upbeat Bowling Venues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ballroom-bowl-expands.md) - [Extravagant New Year's Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/w-toronto-new-years.md) - [Tropical Toronto Summer Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chotto-matte-toronto.md)
