A place worth knowing

Circle Bar has returned to Main Street after a renovation, continuing a nightlife story that began in 1949. The Santa Monica bar is a place for DJs and dancing, with the dance floor central to the evening.

Choose it when you want the night to continue after dinner. Look up the programme and entry arrangements for your date, as the atmosphere follows the DJ and the crowd rather than a fixed performance schedule.
