I’m very disappointed with my experience at Circus. My friends and I were denied entry at the door without any valid reason—the only impression we got was that it was due to our ethnicity. Despite being well-dressed, respectful, and eager to enjoy the night like everyone else, the security team dismissed us without explanation while allowing others in. Such discrimination is unacceptable, especially in 2025. We came to enjoy Circus’s menu and atmosphere, not to be judged based on our background. I hope the management addresses this issue seriously and ensures their staff treat all guests with respect and fairness, regardless of origin. Until then, I cannot recommend this place. Service: 1

The security guards were chatting among themselves while we waited for our IDs to be checked, which felt very disrespectful. I will never go back there. Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
