What People Are Saying About Circle Lounge

In Short
Sleek lounges and squat tables surround the crimson-curtained round stage centered in the Red Room. A second dining room, the White Room, offers seating in a serene atmosphere of neutral furniture, tables, tapestries and walls with giant circle cutouts. Sip a signature cocktail with local hipsters in the blue-lit area near the bar. Live acoustic jazz is played nightly and sushi is served until 1am. Imported wines and martinis, like the saketini, are the specialty.

I went to this lounge last night, and... It is as has been told before. Sadly. Slow (but nice) service, even when I was one of the first ones there! Sushi was good, and who can complain at 1/2 off? Here's a shocker - I noticed today that they overcharged my card by $46.00! Which is more than double my tab! Pay cash here only!!!The one and only saving grace was the great Live Jazz! I understand that group is there every Tuesday. If I do go back it will be to hear them again. I won't go when I'm realy hungry. And I will pay cash. I hope that the management can clean up their act (and carpets).

I have been to Circle Lounge a few times now and I have always had a great time. The jazz bands they have on Tuesdays are great and the sushi is half price too. Me and my girlfriends love to go there and dance on the weekend because we can dress up and not be the only females in the club. Overall I have to say that I love the atmosphere and my friends and I always have a great time.

I don't normally write reviews, but after reading some of these while looking for contact info for Circle Lounge to make reservations for my friend's bday party this Sat, I figured I'd give my 2 cents worth. What's everyone crying about? I've been there 2 Sats in the last month and both times my friends and I had a great time. I had way more fun than I did 3 or 4 yrs ago when I was last there. Both Sats we had a big red booth (not a lot if your friends help pay). No problems getting in. Cover was $8 (If that's a lot of money, stay home and drink your Natty light or PBR.). Drinks are reasonable. Jager bombs were $5.50 and beer was cheap too. Of course you'll pay more for drinks with more than 1 alcohol, duh. Sushi is reasonable and good, but not the best I've had. What do you expect...IT"S A BAR! All the women were GORGEOUS. I hate to say this because there were more women than guys. There were some d bag guys there who like to act like TTAs (Timmy Tough Asses), but it's expected. For the most part everyone was cool. Never spent more than 5 min getting a drink. I guess you just have to know how to do it. I agree that guys should step up and at least offer to help the ladies to get their drinks if not buy them one. Who cares if you spend an extra $5? Oh no, she might not jump in the sack with you for buying her a drink, but you might make a cool new friend and meet her girlfriends too. Consider it an investment. My friends and I had a great time, I didn't spend a lot of money (I think $80 - $100 total for food, drinks and my share of the booth) and we're planning on having a friend's bday party there this Sat too. I guess it's just all in how you perceive things and basically your dispostion on life. LOOSEN UP! Have some fun. Just because someone scuffed your Pumas or didn't want to jump in the sack with you after buying them 1 drink doesn't make it a bad night. Find your good situations. Peace!
