Starting Feb 10: Pop-It @ Centro
We love a good cocktail. And Centro, a longtime hotel-bar favorite, makes them well. Whether it’s one of the bar’s elaborate signature drinks or just a basic G&T, you’re bound to find something you like. But there’s one thing that pairs better with gin than tonic: live music. This month, Centro welcomes high-energy band Pop-It. Starting February 10, the seven-member group will rock the popular bar every night. Hailing from Montreal, Pop-It have performed live across North America, as well as in France, Morocco and the UAE. These shows feature head-spinning variety. Pop-It’s members are true jack-of-all-trades musicians, and are comfortable playing everything from pop and R&B to Latin dance tunes. And best yet – they’re playing nearly every night at Centro’s prime CBD address. We can hardly imagine a better way to after-work.
