Cirque
can be found on Deansgate behind the Up and Running store, opposite
Australasia. The unit had previously housed the disastrous Toy Box,
whose licence was suspended in January after a stabbing.
If you go back a few years, it was the iconic and somewhat notorious
Press Club.
The
circus-themed club features people in outfits, but no real acts like
you would get at Cirque de Soir or Theatre Impossible. There isn't
the room. They charge a tenner on the door even if you're on the
guestlist, which wasn't much of a surprise, nor was the ID scanning
system on entry. Also predictable was the RnB music and at least 1
reality TV personality (Jordan Adefay, who lasted 1 week on
Love Island last year).
A
fun night, and one I'll be hosting a meetup to eventually. Not a
favourite place though.
