The power might be out but the linesmen are working furiously to get it back on. Thanks to Makita New Zealand and their banging workplace radio and super bright led work lamps we are still open. No doubt throwing a glow party if the power stays off much longer.! Makita NZ were gonna need some more batteries real soon though ! Can you drop some off ? Cheers for the support everyone!

WazzUp BABY

Its Hiring Time

I know its a cliche to say we need staff but Chad's old and tired, he needs help. He's literally on his knees and begging (😏)

Can you show up one day a week?? Cause that's the bar. 1 day.
Heck you can even choose what day. So long as its Friday or Saturday.
(Heck if you want both thats even more rad)

Do you need Experience to apply?? NO!!! we'll learn together like its an episode of Dora.

Bonus brownie points (And mucho money) if you have a management certificate.

If you can deal with Dad jokes, Bad jokes and Chads jokes you might be my one and only # # #

If this sounds like your cup of tea then go to the website and apply :3 http://circusbar.co.nz/apply.html

If its more like a cup of Tea-Quila (HAHA) flip us an email
:3 [email protected]

OR come in and ask Chad "Whats poppin?" and he'll know your down to clown.

SOCAIL MEDIA TAKE OVER BABYYYYY

Waddup World

Ya ol buds at Circus are getting too old and tired to be working and need some freshness up in this biznitch. You need some extra ca-ca-ca-cash to fund a crippling House Plant addiction, we pay better than The Warehouse (maybe) and have more fun than TimeZone (probably definitely).

It’s like the student allowance but you don’t have to tell us anything about your parents.

Added bonus its only like 2 days a week (FRIDAY & SATURDAY), that leaves the other 5 for you to keep on your Tik Tok grind (don’t worry Jeremy I’m not saying you need practise I’m talking about all the other scrubs ILY a MILY)

Unlike every other bar in the world we only just started being out here looking, so we fresh up in this game. Speaking of fresh, you don’t need experience you’ll get experience by being here.

It’s a job your mum wont hate you having (your dad might but meh)

Can you show up at least one day a week that’s literally the bar. Show up 1 day. That’s all I'm asking. PLEASE
Bonus points (And bonus cash) if you have a management certificate

If this sounds like your cup of tea go to our website www.circusbar.co.nz/apply
OR
If this sounds like your cup of coffee just email us at [email protected]
OR
If this sounds like your cup of hot choccy just come in and see Chad he loves people (…)

Sup Fam, It's Simon your local ringmaster here.

We will not be opening again until July.

As you probably know we will be back at covid level two from six tonight. Use the covid tracer app.

Mask up in public transport. Don't panic buy. Be kind. If you're sick stay the f**k home.

All service must be seated, separated and single server. Its not viable to set up the bar for this if we are going out of level 2 on Sunday night. This means at the point in time...

We will not be opening again until July.

However watch this space.

If level 2 rolls on longer we will be setting up tables and doing full table service until told otherwise.

If we move to level 3 the bar will be closed until further notice.
If this happens i have to assume there will be a wage subsidy to cover your favorite bartenders wages while the bar is forced to close.

If you have any questions or concerns please comment below or email me [email protected]

Role for Initiative 18/03/2021

The Fringe festival is sadly coming to an end for 2021, but we've saved "the best" for last. Only 3 shows left, tonight Friday and Saturday. Selling fast..

Love D&D but wish it was more immersive? Welcome to Role for Initiative! The show where characters and creatures come to life on stage, strength checks rely on an arm wrestle, dice aren't used how you'd expect, and the hero of the story is... you?

Role for Initiative takes all of the most fun parts of role playing and condenses them into an action packed hour of insanity. Get ready for an evening of unexpected hilarity as heroes set out on grand adventures, monsters are slain, and dragons are dungeoned in the Wellington debut of Role for Initiative!

Slide on over to the Fringe Fest Website for tix fringe.co.nz/show/role-for-initiative, or rock up to the door tonight and hope there is still some seats available!

The weekend beckons, but level two means no dance floor. So we've had to get crafty.

They'll do the standup, you just have to sit down.

On Friday. We've lined up Gavin Hews and Aaron Barber for an encore performance of American Refugees Comedy Show. This show did a sold out run with us last week as part of the Fringe festival, so get in quick or miss out forever.

https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2021/american-refugees-comedy-show2/wellington

On Saturday were lucky to be hosting Jamie Patterson and Brendhan Lovegrove for their Escape from lock-down show. They're here on holiday because why would you stay in Auckland? Again seats are limited due to social distancing so dont blink and miss out.

This means big changes for us as a bar and as a part of the community.
All servce must be seated, sepeated and single server.

Its not viable to set up the bar for this if we are going out of level 2 on Wednesday night.
This means at the point in time we will not be opening again until midnight on Wednesday.

Hopefully we will nip this in the bud before Fringe Festivle begins.
