circo bar and lounge

We arrived at Circo at around 12, the place was fairly busy with a good vibe.Decor was good as we're the cocktails.The only down sides to the place were being over 6 feet tall I had to duck / watch my head moving from room to room and it closed early due to " drainage problems" and a very bad smell!!If I'm ever back in Bath I'd give it another go though.

Brilliant cocktail masterclass with a few of my girlfriends for 2 and a bit hours. Cocktails were absolutely delicious, we made a lemon cheesecake, lemon and elderflower mojito and passionfruit collins. Our bartender Grant was brilliant, made us feel very at home and was very chatty and personable and made the whole experience a joy. I had a friend who really disliked lemon, and he willingly changed her cocktails, and even made her something with Sailor Jerry's - her fave. This extra care was really appreciated and everyone had a fab time. Circo, as always, is brilliant.

My partner and I, both being former bartenders, are often amused by trendy spots that have a plethora of cocktails and the same approach to making (butchering) each. Not so with Circo. These guys know what they're doing. There was a 3 or 5 pound cover at the door, but we were drawn by the assurance that it has a sliightly older crowd (we found ourselves out on a college night) and the average age was certainly about 25 I'd say. The drinks were really really good-not always tasty exactly, we had two that were only made for sipping and savouring rather than knocking back, but that's the whole point in Circo I think. The berry-based cocktails were delicious, really moreish, and the service was exceptional for a bar, it felt really attentive. Great spot.

As above...... So rude and wouldn't humour a hen party when asked for ONE song. We left and took our money elsewhere. Hahahaha lost the bar hundreds! Well done mate

Visited bar on Thursday and was very impressed with the cocktails and with Callum behind the bar, we subsequently enquired and booked a cocktail master class the next day Callum gave us the master class which was not only insightful but very, very fun! He answered all of our questions and gave references to some fantastic uk distilleries. A fantastic bar and class, somewhere we would return to if ever in or close to bath in the future

We had a lovely night in Bath last night, which started brilliantly with cocktails at Circo. We came in early but the atmosphere was still great and we were looked after really well by Callum, who recommended a gin cocktail that we both loved! Delicious drinks and great service thanks to him, so thank you. We will be back!

Great location and unusual and interesting decor. Came here for birthday drinks after a meal out. I chose a champagne cocktail as a treat which was quite expensive as expected. My partner chose a beer that we did not recognise the name of. Unfortunately neither of the drinks were very nice with the beer tasting flat and bland and the cocktail not to my taste, extremely bitter and could barely taste the champagne (which I am guessing was the main reason behind the high price). Toilets were fine and interesting music, however there was a strong smell of damp as soon as we entered and it was extremely cold, I sat with a thick coat on for the duration of our visit and we had to move on after one drink as my partner was freezing. It was O.K. but I think if I was returning to Bath I would look elsewhere for a drink next time.

We had a great time at Circo, cocktails were brilliant served by the lovely Gareth who made us feel like we had known him for years! Great service from him and his knowledge on cocktails was great as we told him what drinks we liked and he made us a cocktail! He made our evening very enjoyable! It was our first time visiting Circo and will definitely be returning!

Good location, nice cocktails. A little pricey but lovely atmosphere. Jazz band playing later on in the night created a nice ambiance

Went there for a few cocktails which were amazing! Made by the lovely Ross and ben, the staff Were all so lovely, had such a great night!

Thursday in January so very quiet but 2 cocktails for £10. Very nice and great service and recommendations from the barman :)

A Fantastic bar.Great music, great cocktails, even better staff.A really great bar with a great vibe. I can't recommend this enough.

Had many great nights in Circo but felt compelled to write a review following the great service I received from Gareth last night. Not only did he make me a great cocktail, but also provided great first aid assistance when I cut myself. Great place, great atmosphere, great staff.

As a 60th birthday surprise, my wife Wendy arranged a weekend in Bath with my sons, Oliver & Archie and our friends Carol & Duncan and Ken & Amanda. We stayed at The Halcyon [a lovely hotel - separate review to follow], which includes the Circo Bar & Lounge. As a special treat, Wendy had booked a cocktail making class at the Circo Bar. Our tutor was Ross Mullins, who made the 2 hour session very entertaining, informative and fun. He started with showing us how to make a chocolate and fresh mint based cocktail, which our ladies particularly liked, before moving on to the daiquiri, which was more my kind of cocktail. Ross explained the importance of smell in cocktails and the need to bruise the mint to release this, as the aroma lingers much longer than the taste. He introduced us to a range of high class spirits and mixers to ensure the cocktails we extra special. When he asked me to choose the ingredients for our third and final cocktail, I asked for a gin-based long drink, for which he recommended the Bramble. This Williams gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup cocktail, with lashings of crushed ice in a tumbler was topped with blackcurrant flavoured Crème de Mure, which slowly diffused through the glass was exquisite. Ross then tried to teach me a few cocktail bartender bottle-juggling tricks - well you know what they say about an old dog [Archie was far more proficient than I]! The whole experience was very good fun and interesting thanks to Ross, who is superb, and my family and friends

Travelled to Bath with my partner for the first time this weekend. We went to Circo Bar on the first night and had a great time. The bar man, Callum, was very helpful and friendly with advising us on what to drink, but also how to spend our weekend in Bath. Thank you, will definitely come again!
