What reviewers say

Visitors praise Sircuit Bar for its friendly atmosphere, great music, and enjoyable drag shows, with some noting it's a good place for a Sunday night out. However, complaints include inconsistent crowd levels on weekends, issues with security, and a significant cover charge that some find too high, especially when performances are delayed.

About this place Sircuit Bar

Sircuit, on Smith Street, is a staple of Melbourne's inner-north queer scene. It's a decent size, with a bar, a stage for drag and other shows, and a small dance floor that fills up late on weekends. The crowd's mostly gay men, spanning a range of ages. You can catch a show or grab a drink Wednesday and Thursday from 5pm to 1am, Friday from 5pm to 3am, Saturday from 2pm to 3am, and Sunday from 2pm to midnight. Drinks won't break the bank - think €8 cocktails, not champagne. Smith Street's got a cluster of bars, so you can easily bar-hop. On weekends, the dance floor's where it's at, especially after midnight. It's not the flashiest spot, but the shows are worth sticking around for. If you're in the area, Sircuit's a good bet for a low-key night out. You'll find it on the Fitzroy-Collingwood strip, surrounded by other queer bars.

I really want to give a 5 star but both time I've been here on a Saturday night recently, the tracks are not getting the pool heating up, I can't feel it, the whole pool was not excited either.

Sircuit is a safe, welcoming and happy environment for people of all sexual backgrounds. Queer friendly and very accepting of all visitors. The bar staff are all very helpful, energetic and always happy to serve with a smile. I am an older gay person and the bar crew have been so welcoming and helpful to me. For me it has become like a second home to visit the club regularly. I would particularly like to praise the security staff, headed by the wonderful Tamar, a lady of great warmth, intelligence and good humour. She is beloved by the regular patrons and deservedly so. Her co-worker Gary and the other regular and occasional staff do a fabulous job of keeping people safe and making patrons feel welcome and protected. They are a credit to their security company. The bar has reasonably-priced drinks and regular drag shows as well as the occasional special event. Check out their Facebook page and website for details.

My gay friends oscar, Milo, paddy and aiden went on an excellent 2 man and the staff were really exclusive on their relationship. My other friend nic went alone and is unemployed but he said that he really enjoyed it. 5 stars!!!!

Always a good place to visit when in town. Good mix of male/female and ages. Pool tables a bonus. Toilets a big fail for this place as they are run down and not enough if them. Big queues lining up for toilets
