Circa 33

Welcome to Circa 33, a bar harkening back to 1933, when prohibition was repealed. The atmosphere is casual and clean with high ceilings and more than 100 whiskeys in a library-style bar. Its cocktail menu is heavily influenced by spirits from the 1900s and earlier such as Applejack, dry gin, rye whiskey and bitters. The food menu highlights smoke-flavored entrees such as seafood salad, bourbon pulled pork sandwiches, and a variety of ribs. If you don’t go for smoky, there are mussels dijonaise, pot roast sandwiches, vermouth misted steak frites and more. Happy hour lasts all night on Mondays, and brunch is now available weekends starting at 9 a.m. with short rib hash and eggs, lemon ricotta pancakes and... you get the idea.
