Went on a Thursday night. They had meat and Queen of Heart drawings. Kat was the only bartender and she Rocked it! Was pleasant and always smiling, never had to wait for service! Love a place where you can tell the employees like their job! Awesome job Kat and Circle Inn.

I'd never been in here till a few weeks ago, and I had no idea what a cool little place this was. Is an absolute hidden gem of a neighborhood bar. I'm not going to go out of my way for it if I'm making a night of going out since it is a little far off from the rest of the bar district, but for sure will come back to hang out solely here. The back patio is super nice as well.
