FOOD: Circus has several options available when it comes to catering for your event. You are welcome to bring your own food, or you can order from our external catering service (see menu below). VENUE HIRE FEE: There is no venue hire fee. MINIMUM SPENDS: Circus Bar requires a minimum drink spend for all events. These minimum spends are negotiable depending on the time and date of your function, as well as the number of guests in attendance. The minimum spend is $3000 (for either the Main Bar, Balcony or entire venue.) This spend is seasonal and is subject to variation depending on demand. November and December functions attract a higher minimum spend, as do functions hosted on nights where the nightclub would not normally open. The minimum spend can be implemented in a number of ways either as a pre arranged tab at the bar (recommended), pre purchased drink cards for your guests, or at a per drink rate. If you purchase food from the Circus Canapés Menu, 30% of this total will also contribute towards your minimum spend. BAR TAB: Tabs are very common for functions and usually the least complicated option. We would keep track of the drink costs and alert you when the tab has reached its limit. DRINK CARDS: Purchased on arrival, Circus Bar would issue you with the drink cards equalling your bar tab. You are then free to distribute these at your discretion. Drink cards are authorized for the night of your event only. CASH BAR: This option is best when asking your guests to purchase their own drinks. We would alert you once the minimum spend has been reached. Alternatively, if the total at the end of your event falls short of the agreed minimum spend, we will ask you to pay the difference prior to leaving the premises. GUEST LISTS: Functions: A door fee will not be charged for any function guest entering the venue before 11pm. Any function guest who enters the venue after it has opened to the public (11pm) a discounted door charge is required. DOOR LISTS: If you have a small budget and would like Circus to cater for a group of your friends but do not require a private space then a door list is probably the best option for you. Circus Bar can arrange a list under your name which your guests are entitled to use for discounted entry. It is important to note that we can never 100% guarantee entry. All guests must meet standard venue requirements, present appropriate identification and not be intoxicated on arrival. ENTERTAINMENT: Music: Circus Bar boasts 2 separate DJ stations, for your convenience. Main Bar and Balcony areas are able to be separated. You are welcome to bring your own DJ at no extra costs, or ask your Circus Bar event planner to recommend some of our in house DJs (for an additional fee). Circus Bar also has ipod facilities available. SPECIAL ENTERTAINMENT: Ask Circus Bar about the following: - Promotional girls or boys - Entertainers: comedians, magicians, dancers, contortionists, Hula Hoop performers etc. - Musicians - Audio visual equipment - Theme parties - Photographers PHONE: 0410 394 431 EMAIL: FUNCTIONS@CIRCUSBAR.COM.AU PAGE: 04
