Sircuit Bar

Oh Sircuit… Well the first time I wandered my way into this little gay shop of horrors I was instantly taken back to my first gay bar in a basement with cages everywhere. A few drinks later I settled in with my friends and checked out the drag show. Pretty good, the music from the DJ was better though. I had a friend who’d been there quite a bit take me on a bit of a tour upstairs, I was able to keep my hands to myself :) Kinda cool, I’ve never really been into the dungeon areas but I know that some people love it. I think its cool to have the option it reminds me of the TV show Queer as Folk. I’d go back again if somebody took me but probably not wander in there by myself.

I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the Sircuit. It’s a little too «serious» for my liking. Maybe it’s because I go to gay bars so rarely that when I do, I prepare myself for over the top campness, bright lights, colour… fun? I like my gay bars glittery and vejazzled. The Sircuit tries so hard to sculpt a butch identity for itself and its patrons that it just ends out being a bit sterile. And the sense that everyone inside is taking their sexuality really seriously — that doesn’t scream «party» to me… more like slightly depressing middle-​aged 90s swingers scene.
Maybe that’s a bit harsh. On the upside, it does have several pool tables. They’re constantly surrounded by groups of bears in chaps… so step up and make some new friends!
The Sircuit seems to have a lot of leather and bear themed nights, so keep an eye out for them in the local free gay street press mags (such as MCV) if you’re into that kind of thing.

WOW. Many different themes of the nights can make Sircuit a different place throughout the week, but nonetheless not someplace to miss!
If you like men, and don’t want to be fussed with any women, Friday or Saturday is your best night. Awesome, risqué, mind-​bending shows and great tunes going, with pool tables in the back for more low-​key enjoyment. Hottest bartenders in town, who are happy to flash you a smile and make you feel like you’re the only guy in line.
If you want to bring your girls with you, and I don’t mean your GURLS, you are welcome on Thursday and Sunday. Sunday is, in my opinion, the best of all nights! Starting at 9:30pm there are cheap drinks (I always grab a Jäger while I await my Cider to be poured, only sets me back $ 6 total) and watch the drag queens do their thing. They are hilarious, and mingle with the crowd between shows. AND you can still play pool, met men, and flirt your heart out. Sundays are a bit younger than other nights though, so it all depends on what your little heart desires!
At Sircuit, you’re guaranteed a fun night, when you pick your night right!

Sircuit is known to most as the «Bears Bar», where gay men of the more manly exterior come to drink, play pool and have a dance.
One of my favourite venues on a Sunday night, Sircuit is open Wednesday through to Sundays (and every third Monday for ‘Butt Naked’).
Thursday and Sunday are ‘mixed’ (which means your female companions may accompany you) whilst Wednesdays, Friday and Saturdays are male-​only.
The vibe of the bar is great. The crowd is friendly and on Sundays you will be dazzled with some really entertaining drag shows.
Sundays are great for some pool, a show and some cheap drinks! $ 3 Ciders are a must!
