Starting Feb 10: Pop-It at Centro
We love a good cocktail. And Centro,
a longtime hotel-bar favorite, makes them well. 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.

you covered. Led by the indefatigable François-Gervais Roth, the
performance promises to bring Beijing’s National Center for the
Performing Arts to life. For one night only.

Nothing to do on Valentine’s Day? Well there’s no point wallowing in sorrow and loneliness, so get yourself down to School Bar for a special Rooster Valentines party (that makes sense, right?).

Three other bands will play to help light up this often dark day in the calendar.
Tue Feb 14; Price TBD, School Bar.
