What a bar! Lovely sweetshop cocktails to enjoy. Very refreshing! Staff are great too! Cocktail shots are immense!!
Circle lounge is a lovely place for cocktails to have with friends and family, I come quite a lot with different people and I love it. There is such a wide range of cocktails and shots, my favourite cocktail is sex on the beach with sweets and shot is jammy dodger. The staff are lovely very attentive and can make you a cocktail that is not on the menu ! I will continue to come here as I live it and it is my favourite bar in Halifax, very affordable too !
This bar is essentially a cocktail bar. Not bad cocktails has 2 lagers on draft. It's very near the Halifax theatre if you want a drink before you go in. Also near several other bars if you want a bit of a crawl. Polite bar Staff and good atmosphere.
It looked nice from outside, so we popped in for a few drinks. They've only got a couple of beers on draught, but lots of cocktails and mixers 👌 The bar is cosy and the staff are friendly, funny too when they make the cocktails 😁 Music played was cool, decor is all theatre related and kind of quirky. They had all the covid rules in place and we were seated and had our drinks order taken at our table. I suppose in normal times, it would be a bar to visit before or after watching a show at the theatre, which is close by. Prices are reasonable and I'll come back again soon, especially in summer so I can sit outside 🍺😉
