Circa Soho

(2 Ratings)
Shiny-shiny watering hole

Soho's ageing bright young thing (opened June 2011) combines a cocktail ethos and camp mirror ball features with manly chrome and oxblood chesterfield leather in a long narrow room of exposed brick and wooden floors. Chatty and lively (capacity = 100), with a DJ-led soundtrack of gay-appeal pop, house and neo-R&B on certain evenings. Pretty boys have been known to attend. Check website for themed nights. Sunday afternoon brunch 12 noon–3pm. This is the first (and flagship) venue of Baby Bull Group). In June 2018 Circa unveiled the Fri/Sat-only Circa The Club at Hungerford House, adjacent to Embankment tube station, now called Circa Embankment and open Wed to Sun [see entry].

I recently visited this establishment, and unfortunately, it was a terrible experience. My last visit to this place was just so out of order. I ordered a vodka soda, but I was given soda water instead. When I tried to explain this to the barman, he was extremely rude and dismissive of my concerns. Despite my attempts to rectify the situation, the barman refused to listen to me and instead chastised me for my order. When I asked to speak to the bar manager to address the issue, I was met with even more disrespect. The bar manager called security before even hearing me out, and I was escorted out of the premises like a criminal. This was an unprofessional and disrespectful way to treat a customer. I am also disappointed that the staff members at this establishment cannot communicate effectively with their customers. If the barman can't speak English, then they shouldn't be there. It is unacceptable for an establishment in Soho to have staff members who cannot understand their customers. I used to go to this place and used to like it. Unfortunately, this place has been taken from my list, and I would never recommend it to anyone. It's clear that they don't care about their customers, as the reviews show how many customers have been mistreated. This is the worst place to be in Soho.

Dismal Bar

A bar where the owner seems to just entertain his friends and nothing different to any other bar in soho. Just a copy of The Edge to me
