Not for anyone under 40! – Thursday night 2 of my friends and I went over to Circle just to check it out because there is always a crowd outside. Here's what occured: I tried to get myself a drink but the bartenders were too busy walking around trying to lip sync to the outdated tunes... finally I flagged one down, and the girl did not bring me my change. The music was not all that and the crowd was too old for me but really friendly. The worst part: at 1:30 they turned on the brightest lights in an effort to get people out.... read more
Pretentious – The circle has gotten too popular for its own good. The drinks are average and the clientle is so pretentious it is insulting. They always have a line outside, even if there is nobody inside, and when you do get in, it usually is all guys.
Cool bar, baaad service – I originally really liked this bar, but after constant rudeful treatment from bouncers/bartenders, I felt I had to abandon this bar. I happen to work in the "biz" so getting in has never posed a problem. However, minding my own business and such (Ie not being routy) one would think the staff would at least treat their guest with some ounce of hospitality. Not here. All other bars in the Venice area are great.
HOT, HOT, HOT – This bar is fun, full of energy and atmosphere! It's popular without being trendy, trendy would imply that one day it would cease to be a "hot spot". Circle Bar will always be attractive, it may even be the only relationship you can commit to on a regular basis.
Red Lights – We love everyone that works there including Steve DeCastro, Todd, Rob, Pete, Isha, Jeff, Steve (the bartender), Jess & Stryker. It is the best place to go if you want to hang with the hotties and dance to some cool grooves. The Westside is the place to go if you don't want to hang with the superficial crowd and Circle Bar is definetely the place that epitomizes that.
Square's more like it – First it took way too long to get in. If you're gonna wait around a little while, the wait better be worth it. Once inside, it's all Bar. and nothing else. This is supposedly a hot spot for beautiful people? I you like plain vanilla this is all you. The music bites and the drinks have way too much ice. There is zero atomosphere here. There is absolutely no reason to go to this Bar. If you are looking for good vibes it aint here, beautiful people arent here, no great music etiher, not even a scene if y... read more
Cool joint – I actually went to this bar with 5 women! Big mistake! It is defintely a meat market and I could have used a dude to hang with while checking out hte scene. There was definitely a great crowd here, but the music was terrible. It was a mix of older, rarely heard hip hop and themes...Great looking bartenders despite giving terrible service...
Cool Ambiance – I'm not sure what some of these folks seem to be so bitter about. I just went to Circle Bar with some friends and had a blast. The DJ played really cool music that I could vibe with and had clearly put together a well thought out playlist. The crowd was fun and the ratio seemed perfect. There was definitely some talent in the house -- so if you're looking, it's a very target rich environment. You could also have fun just hanging out and chillin with your friends.
Such a Meat Market – If you are female and you want to be hit on, you should definitely check out this bar. If you don't want to be fending off potential mates all night, avoid this place like the plague. It's too bad the vibe is so aggressive here. Circle bar has so many other things going for it: great location, interesting decor, good drinks.
