Macabre Cabaret Dining

The Cabaret du Néant, one of the first themed restaurants in Paris, featured patrons drinking "bières" (meaning both "beer" and "coffin" in French) from cups shaped like human skulls. The main room, known as the "Salle d'Intoxication" (Intoxication Hall), had chandeliers made of human bones and tables shaped like coffins, creating a uniquely macabre atmosphere.
