Mondays! – The only night that I really mess with is Monday nights! As the other reviews state - it gets pretty packed easily on most nights, but Monday nights fill up to just the right amount of room to dance, talk to people, or have more elbow room to drink your drink. The music is sexy and fun, with tan eclectic crowd. The DJ is really what makes the night. The staff is dope, and I always close the bar out! I always invite friends I never get to see, so I can start the night catching up, and end it by rockin out on the da... read more

Not the best clientele – I've been there a few times now, and only really had one decent night. The second time I was there my friend we got into a raging argument with 2 bartenders who insisted that he hadn't opened a tab with his credit card - he had, and we had our apology eventually but it took about 30 minutes and almost gettting thrown out for nothing. Generally though, the bouncers and barstaff are good - especially when you consider the people who frequent the place - VERY ugly, and I'm not talking in terms of looks.... read more

Circle Bar: full of creepy sweaty guys – Ladies, avoid this place... (unless you're wanting and willing to share your bed with anyone who has three legs). The creep factor is high, the dance floor is small, and the ventilation system is poor. What does this all mean? There's a high probability that a desperate sweaty guy will ask you to dance with him. The walk space in this bar is small, so you'll spend most of the time trying to squeeze between the row of people leaning against the wall and people sitting at the bar. The r... read more

YUCK – i went to circle bar on a saturday night. i was with a large group of girlfriends so we didn't have to wait in line or for drinks or anything... but honestly, it just wasn't worth it. the place was packed with unattractive, desperate guys and the girls who take shots to forget them. the dance floor was too slippery; the bar area was too crowded. my girls and i wound up getting wasted out of sheer boredom and disgust. then we all went home... alone. while this place had all the hollywood hype, it had none of the hollyw... read more

was cool at first – when I first moved here a few years ago my friend brought me there since it was the IN place but now it is the absolute last place on my list. Extreamly packed to the point you can't move at times, and it can take forever to get a drink too. don't know what the comments are of rude staff..they have always been fairly nice considering the trendy hollywood atmosphere they try to give off..it's actually not too bad during the week but forget about it on a friday or saturday night...

Cheesy – I've got one word...cheesy. The place is crowded and I didn't see any good looking people at all.

Hot Times again – I was at the Circle last night, for the first time in about six months. It rocked. The staff was very friendly. Good ratio of women to men. Although there was a line, it was worth the wait. One of the doormen told e that if I get there before 9:30, I would not have to wait. I love the small, intimate dance floor and sexy lighting

Fun place. Rude, evil bartenders – I've been going to Circle Bar for awhile now and everytime the bartenders are mean as ever. EVIL!!! I have never seen such unhappy and rude women ever. They should be ashamed to themselves.
