  Worst place for event ever. Do not book!!! Bar staff do not know how to make any cocktails u order. They guess everything. If you do not use your bar tab before 12pm they will send you on your way regardless. Most speakers in venue do not work. Venue won't give back cutlery for birthday cake even though they told us to bring it. Bar staff remove pips from drinks via their hands...was made to feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome by bar staff and security once upstairs was open to general public...pretty much shoved outside..had lots of trouble getting back in...once inside again found out all my bar tab was invalid.. .even though was told by multiple staff that I could go back upstairs and use it. Such an atrocious way to end a 30th Birthday. Venue needs to reevaluate their morals rather than rushing to get the younger 19 year olds in who are off their head on drugs. I cannot stress enough as to how upset and disappointed I am with how the night went. I booked this venue in the hopes of everything going smoothly. It did not. Do not ever book with this venue. A word of warning

  Nice rooftop area; great for a celebration. The ground level bar and dance floor had ample space to bust a move and move your elbows freely, with enough seats to not have to claim your territory for a night. I might have missed it but the music seemed to lack a pop or spice I was hoping to dance to.

  The rooftop upstairs is AMAZING for functions, all our guests loved it. Super easy to organise and they have great food and beverage options. Staff were lovely and took care of all our request. It was a smooth process from start to finish, highly recommend it!

  Actually decent. Good sound system and perfect for the late night niche that it fills. If the club you're at is dead, circus probably has some folks.

  The blonde 'lady' on the door is awful and unsympathetic to patrons. My five friends had already entered to venue and paid the entry fee ($20 per person) and as i went to withdraw money from the ATM attached next to the nightclub it swallowed my card, on top of that my phone was dead. I asked the lady (presumably the door manager) if either myself or a staff member could assist me in getting a friend so they could pay my door entry. I was met with a massive amount of verbal abuse and as a result felt so uncomfortable that i left the building and was forced wait for my friends to find me. Very unprofessional unwelcoming staff, I wouldn't recommend this venue to others.
