Circle Bar – Santa Monica

From Jim Morrison and Truman Capote to today’s contemporaries, Circle Bar continues to attract the most vibrant and diverse crowd on the Westside. With careful attention to detail, Circle Bar has made vast improvements to the decor, ambiance, music, and most importantly, service.

What makes the Circle Bar unique is that it outlives trends that come and go. By reinventing itself via nuances (photos, lighting, etc.), it prefers to stick to the same floor plan since its opening in 1949. The music may change, images here and there, but the spirit of Circle Bar will live on. Many generations return to Circle Bar whether they met their mate there, had a birthday bash or simply had an amazing night with friends. It’s not an easy task to keep a place busy with the right crowd so by embracing our nostalgia, heritage and commitment to good service, Circle Bar will be around for years to come.
