Circle Bar

NightclubSince it opened in 1999, CIRCLE BAR has built upon the popularity of the site's former establishment, the fringe favorite, Fleur de Lee. It has become a necessary stop on most nightcrawlers' itineraries, thanks to a loose, friendly vibe with a roster of eclectic acts with a nod toward rock and roll.

Space is at a premium here, whether you're edging your way past the bar to the restrooms or angling for a seat in the band room. The intimacy helps to elevate the "house-party" feel. The crowd includes locals, many musicians (some of whom you may find working the bar), traditional barflies and particularly adventurous tourists.
