Circus Bar

"Best place to enjoy a fun night out, the staff were so attentive and made sure we were always looked after."

"Security are pigs. My female friend had a drink thrown in her face by a security guard and called her a bit*h, she was then forcefully shoved twice onto a busy road by a large, aggressive and very angry man. It’s disgusting to think that management employ female staff, but have misogynistic, horrible and ugly men at the door. Must be a very unsafe and uncomfortable working environment, particularly for the female staff if management think that this is okay. I also feel genuinely sorry for any girlfriends, wives or daughters of these security guards as it must be horrible living with men who think it is okay to treat women this way."

"My friend came to join my girlfriend and I quite late in the evening/early in the morning, he is from Sri Lanka and immediately they told him no entry unless you have a wrist band or stamp, this was understandable but not even 5 minutes later I watched them let in 4 white males that had neither. I understand they want to keep the men:women ratio even at this club but even as I came out to ask him be let in with me they said no. I have never experienced this kind of racism before, especially in Melbourne which is considered so embracing and multicultural. Absolutely disgusting."

"Circus bar provides an intimate experience with a darker than dark downstairs paralleled by a neon light rooftop bar. It’s a cozy space with a great lineup of local legends, no night is ever the same at Circus. You’ll find places to dance or sit back and have a drink both upstairs and down, dance floors definitely begin to heave at a certain point. would definitely recommend coming on good behaviour as there’s obviously little tolerance for anti-social behaviour, only seasoned cookers will pass this entrance exam."

"This place is so picturesque. It really feels like you’re walking into a circus car or train. Very well decorated and the place was packed. The VIP booths are like your own private cabin in a with cool Circus style draping. Thanks steam punk with more vibrant colors. I was there until the sun came up and only left because they close the roof deck for better crowd control. Good people, good energy. I will be back."
