Circle near Times Square comes with all of the stereotypes (both good and bad) of a Korean nightclub. Being one of the only true Korean nightclubs in the city, it has a tendency to attract a very fobby Korean crowd. The women here dress to impress, and a lot of the girls look like they just graduated from college. Short and slinky dresses are the norm, and for the most part the men also dress to impress. The space is dominated by a large dance floor with two opposing bars above which hang wall-to-wall projection screens playing music videos. On either side of the dance floor are split levels of seating where patrons can reserve tables for bottle service. The club gets crowded on weekends and a long wait out front is usually to be expected. As is common at most NY clubs, large groups of men without ladies will have a tougher time getting in. The Thursday night crowd is fairly large with a noticeably younger clientele. The music is good and the DJ usually mixes a wide range of tunes, from Top 40 to Korean pop songs. Drinks are pricey, although I have heard of drink specials early on Thursday evenings. If you are in the mood to dance with friends in a large club environment, then Circle is a good option for a weekend night. It’s usually free for ladies on Friday nights. If you are a woman, be prepared to be ogled by the many eager men roaming the confines of this space. With that being said, I have heard a lot of men would go there hoping to score. The club tends to attract a lot of very attractive Asian women. That’s why when I’m not dressing my best I won’t go to Circle. I wouldn’t want to be the ugly duckling there. So if you are in the mood to meet some men and dance the night away this is a good option.

Packedas heck but fun none the less. My pet peeves are the 20 cover, 4 coat check and aggressive asian males with no game. Again, for the FOB in mind. Music is pretty good but for a Times Square club dsigned as a Gladitor pit, you could do much better.
