Circus Bar is a popular nightlife hub for partygoers south of the Yarra. Stylish, comfortable and with a burlesque-inspired decor, Circus Bar provides function space suitable for all manner of events, as well as the obvious fun-loving clubbing scene. An ideal venue for 21st birthdays, corporate functions or a&nbsp;glamorous night&nbsp;out on the town with friends, Circus Bar has something for everyone.&nbsp;Consisting of the main bar with white-curtained booths, and a Miami-themed balcony complete with day beds, Circus exudes a sophisticated-beachside ambience - no mean feat in the heart of Melbourne&rsquo;s nightlife precinct.&nbsp;With wide dance floors, the main Circus bar can accommodate up to 260 people. The Miami-themed balcony can hold an additional 120 people, and can also be hired separately. Both spaces feature private booths and DJ facilities. Whilst Circus Bar is open to all types of events, birthday parties are particularly well catered for. Working with the establishment&rsquo;s function professionals, VIP birthday packages are available and include everything from exclusive cocktails and reserved areas, to catering packages, bottle service, and music from some of Melbourne&rsquo;s best DJs. Besides that though, Circus is conducive to other personal celebrations and product launches. This isn&rsquo;t the type of place to have a quiet drink. Think event birthday or sprawling event launch.&nbsp;Located on Commercial Road, just around the corner from Chapel Street in South Yarra, Circus Bar is easily reached by many Chapel Street trams. Prahran Market is the closest tram stop.&nbsp;

Moulin Rouge Inspired Sophisticated Bar (Main Room)

If you were expecting a run-of-the-mill "rooftop bar", then prepare to have your socks well and truly blown off your toes. 

The weather-proof, heated Rooftop Bar is a unique space, daybeds littered throughout the space (replete with luxurious curtains), a "magic garden" themed bar and a sophisticated ambience. Day or night, this place is pretty swish.

A Magic Garden Themed Weather-proof Rooftop Bar

Get to a club and realize you and your friends don't have a snowflake's hope in hell of finding a place to park yourselves in between turns on the dance floor? 

Never again! Actually, the solution's pretty simple. Just get a booth. There are a few booths at Circus, each exuding a retro, circus-like feel. You can use any you'd like, and they can be booked exclusively.

A Retro Vibe VIP Booths

Its entirety venue includes a rooftop bar, booths, intimate little spaces, dance floor, and main bar. That's a lot of room for you and your pals. Or your workmates. Or both. Or your entire Facebook friend list. 

With a baroque decor, a rooftop bar complete with daybeds, and a dance floor worthy of your best dancing shoes, Circus is good for large, exclusive parties and product launches.

Stylish Comfortable and Burlesque-inspire Hub (Full Venue)

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 get very packed!

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.

Chill, nice place but a bit deer on a Sunday $25 entry, $17 whiskeys. Got busier at 3am but was so dead before that. Men going into the women's toliets and doing drugs

This is never a fail specially on a Sunday night always a vibe. But make sure to take female patrons with you boys otherwise good luck getting in.

THE ONLY VENUE that didn’t let a single girl in. What’s wrong with you??

Just fyi I’m a model (in case you doubted the looks)

Literally weird. Is it a gay place?

I went to a Seeing Double event and ended up leaving Seeing Triple. Would recommend. Great sound, great rooftop. 5 star baby.
