Review:  


70's theme bar that was formerly known as Circus Circus and is one of the most lively bars in the Bigg Market scene. The decor is a mixture of bright coloured patterns with psychedelic flashing lights. There is a long metallic bar that runs the length of the pub with an abundance of bar staff at all times. There would be no problem with service. The bar staff are all dressed in glitter style outfits with wigs and flares.

A party atmosphere prevails at all times with some of the staff dancing by the windows and behind the bar. There are 70's fixtures every where you look with revolving platform shoes, stars, guitars and cylindrical glass balls on the ceiling. Regular music is on play with the DJ located in a booth opposite to the bar. He is dressed in the traditional John Travolta type suit. There are numerous TV's throughout with some games machines. The bar has a large standing area with limited tables to the centre.

At the rear there is a small seating area that is partly carpeted with leopard skin chairs. Near to the door there is a raised dance floor area where resident dancers perform at certain times. Look out for the flashing signs "Don't Walk-Boogie" inside and outside the pub.

The bar will be a popular attraction with it's excellent music and atmosphere. It should be busy on most nights and especially at the weekend, mainly attracting the younger crowd. There is a £2.00 entry charge from 10.30pm - 2am Friday & Saturday.

Disabled access is very good with a designated disabled toilet. The toilets or "Dudes and Chicks" are small and very clean.
