ABOUT THE BAR
Why we opened THE CIRCULAR and why you might like to work here.
The Circular & The Other Hand Bar opened in December 2019, immediately and thankfully picking up a great gang of locals and regulars, in for their Daddy’s breakfast, Coke Lane Pizza, and pints with pals…frequently all three on the same day.
We had twelve glorious weeks before the pandemic brought the curtain down in March 2020. We kept busy and had great local support through the various lockdowns. We set up The Decent Drinks Club, Coke Lane Pizza and Daddy’s kept the neighbourhood well fed and caffeinated.
The Circular is a solid local bar at its core but with a few different things going on under one roof. A big and bright main bar, a dark and cosy sidebar, multiple seating spaces, outdoor areas, an award-winning cafe and pizza operation. We programme local events, quizzes, DJs and regular screenings.
We want to be an all-day neighbourhood joint, where you feel just as comfortable having coffee and eggs at 9am, and a rake of pints with pals at 9pm. Simple!
