on Citysearch Dec 07, 2008This place rules! Starting with cool and entertaining door men always willing to chat or light up your smoke. Then as soon as you enter the swanky velveted wall classic bar, you are distracted by the gorgeous female... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 09, 2008This place is not supposed to be located in Santa Monica. So unlike the other places there. First of all, even though it's cold outside, it's like a sauna inside! They pack the place so much that it is impossible to dance... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 04, 2008Named after the large bar that circles and takes up the majority of the room, this red-lit, Santa Monica nightspot lures college kids and young professionals alike with decent-priced drinks and a cozy dance floor.... (more)

on Citysearch May 05, 2008This palce is ok it definitely gets really crowded on the weekends with the locals and I would classify it as a dive bar. The music is ok and the drinks are pricey considering the place. The bathrooms are terrible and... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 24, 2008This place is a dive bar that definately reflects it in the atmosphere. The crowd is usually not as classy as some of the other local places. I generally feel like it's a place that people go to if they want a one night... (more)

on Yahoo Feb 06, 2008Not a well kept secret. In fact a really horribly kept one which seems to attract men who expect to get laid if they buy you a Budweiser. Creep fest. Ladies (if you're out there), expect to get groped. Restroom also... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 19, 2007"Dark hub for hooking up" seems to be a dead on review. The layout of this place makes it really awkward to do anything but squish up against kinda older creepy people you don't want to be touching in the first place.... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 11, 2007The music is good, the place is small so it is alway crowded, the people are nice, the service is good, the prices are far, the door policy is not like a Hollywood bar. Great spot (more)

on Citysearch Apr 24, 2007The CIRCLE BAR is a circle and seems you have to actually go around the whole circle to actually get a drink. To be fair, on the weekends, it is crowded and completely packed (so perhaps this place is considered to be... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 17, 2007Great doorguys and hot bartenders who don't put up with LA nonsense. Strong drinks, wild music, and you'll never figure out what might happen next. Sure it's crowded, but if you don't want people then stay at home on... (more)
