Originally known as Circus Bar and Billiards, the venue closed its doors in 2016, but reopened in 2018 under new ownership as The Circ Bar. The transformation focused on restoring the bar’s original architecture while incorporating modern touches, creating a stunning contrast that beautifully blends the old with the new.

Our Main Bar is our largest continuous indoor space, making it the perfect setting for sit-down events. It’s also our most playful area, featuring a popcorn machine, plenty of TVs for streaming, and pool tables. Guests can enjoy additional games like ping pong, “water” pong, and, most recently, Nintendo Switch games. This space also features a DJ booth and newly upgraded stage for karaoke.
