Don't let the red rope fool you. Hollywood facelift aside, this is a far cry from the Cirlce Bar of old. For those of you who never experienced it then, I feel for you. The bar does allow you to pay with credit cards now...that's a plus. And if you can put up with the staff's attitude, the awful wet beer rag stench that seeps though the bar and can manage to have enough room to actually lift your glass to your mouth, have a round and move on another bar on Main or Abbott Kinney.
Pros: Serve Liquor, Cloe to other bars, Pay via credit card
Cons: Smell, Staff's attitude
