Circo Lounge in Bournemouth

Lovely decoration and garden at the back. Sometimes it is too crowded and tables too close to each other, which can be uncomfortable with close loud conversations or people getting passed moving or tripping on your chair. I ordered a Chai latte with skinny milk, I was served one with whole milk which they kindly swapped when I told them, however they made the second Chai with semi skimmed, which I can't tolerate and on top of that it was tasteless, very milky and unpleasant, something slightly sweet, no Chai. I just left it as I just wasn't going to ask them to change my hot drink again!. I know what skinny milk taste like, semi and whole milk make me sick, so I left the drink untouched and paid £3.80 for it. It was horrible. Why not to just aknowledge they do not have skinny milk? Why lie to your customers? Very disappointing.

Popped in on a Sunday morning for breakfast with my dog and it didn't disappoint, my little girl was very welcome - Super dog friendly. Busy but a nice chilled atmosphere, the staff were easy going and friendly. Breakfast was delicious, the sausages were good quality, eggs cooked perfectly. The bacon was a bit overdone for me but that's just my preference! Couldn't knock it. The latte coffee was one of the best I've had in ages!!! Loved the salted caramel syrup too. Yum yum! Will be back again soon

Staff weren’t the friendliest. Food was average. You get what you paid for, prices were decent.

The bang bang cauliflower and Merlot are the best. Staff are so friendly too. It's a regular Tuesday early evening for me.

Circo Lounge is one of those places that aims to cater to just about everyone, with an international menu that covers all the bases. Personally, I find that approach a bit risky; there’s something about having too many dishes that can leave the kitchen spread thin. It felt like Circo might have traded a bit of culinary focus for variety—fine for a casual bite, but it means they miss out on really nailing any particular cuisine. The place itself is much bigger than it appears from the outside, with a surprising amount of space and a lovely terrace out the back. Service was friendly and attentive, and you get the sense that they’re doing their best to make you feel welcome. Overall, Circo Lounge is good for a relaxed meal with friends, especially if you’re not sure what you fancy eating.

The staff are super friendly & the food is great

Lovely dog friendly cafe bar with a great vibe 😊🐕💕 Lots of mums, dads, and little ones here. Breast feeding friendly too. A mum on a nearby table started feeding her baby, and a member of staff quietly took her a glass of water, knowing she would be thirsty. So attentive and caring. 👏

Fantastic service (look out for the waitress with the sunglasses on her head) - exceptional! Food is fab with great menu choice to suit everyone. By far the best of the lounges Ive been to

Of the lounges ive visited this is by far the best with fast service, tasty and well presented good and the wsitress service is exceptional - smiley, speedy and professional.

Great food. Friendly service. Relaxed environment. Good team. Thanks for having us.

Great place to go for dinner, Had a lovely meal and drinks. Such a good atmosphere, was served by Dan who was very friendly and was happy to help with recommendations on drinks. Definitely will be going back.

My personal experience. Too noisy- loud music playing, speakers around and no quiet spot. The Barista should try smiling. I'm coeliac and asked for Soya Latte. Have been ill since and I wonder if Soya milk used, or Soya prepared in jug that previously been used for Oat. I had spoken when ordering about needing GF. On plus side, they do have vegan options. It is popular, plenty of customers. Review based on one visit.

Millie was alright I guess everyone else was mid but Amy was quite nice too. Date reviewed was the 28th September 2028 :) Good service

Ok! Good buzz, but very abrupt about allergies-really not their scene! My friend’s food was cold and service was slow - no coleslaw, no banoffee pie

My favourite place for breakfast with my lovely grandparents, excellent menu options... I always mix it up because there are several things I like... doesn't happen everywhere!

Pleasant atmosphere, good service and friendly, helpful staff. And the food is good, too.

Hello, can I take my dog to the restaurant?

Love this place. Eaten here lots. 3 of us came on a busy Saturday lunchtime. Waited at the door to be told no tables and a wait. 20 minutes. (No problem for us. They were busy) Said we'd have a drink whilst we waited. Queued and ordered drinks at bar. Asked for table number. Explained we didn't have one as waiting for a table. Barmaid said we couldn't have a drink without a table number. Asked the lady who was front of house as she happened to walk by, and she agreed we couldn't order drinks without a table number. Couldn't you have created a table number, used one of the outside table numbers as no one was in the garden? We were just expected to stand by the bar with no drink and wait for no guaranteed given time for a table. We didn't. We left. And ate elsewhere. Such a shame. and a crazy system in place.

Love this place. Found it in July, been back 3 more times in July/August (and rarely eat out so that's a lot).

Lovely Carribbean curry and Nasi Goreng

Sloppy unatentive waitress. Not really a people person. Food good though.

I just don’t know how people can’t cook a fried egg properly. It’s either always over done or congealed and undercooked. It’s literally he easiest thing to cook. Sausage was anaemic as well and bacon overdone. Just don’t order a fried breakfast here, my partners food was fine. Some mediterranean Thing.

Great food and drink. Would recommend 👌

Coffee is awful, very weak which spoilt my visit

Nice meal in this great chain of quirky venues, always get a great experience here Plenty of art works to view whilst waiting for your meal , coffee is really great also Great location in Westbourne , plenty of independent shop to look in before and after a visit

Very disappointed . Been to lounge restaurants many times in other areas . This was the worse one ! There was 8 of us . I had tapas very small portions . Another person ordered Parmesan chips with their meal . A handful Of chips . Virtually no Parmesan they sent them back they came out the same . 2 of us had banoffee cheesecake . It was as if they had ran out £7.25 a portion I couldn’t even find the cheesecake it seemed they had put whipped cream on top to cover the size . If I said I had to spoonful of cheesecake I wouldn’t be exaggerating . I would not go to This restaurant again !

Always a great place to meet for a coffee with friends.

Lovely food. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff

Sadly we didn't eat there but the coffee was good and the staff friendly

First time eating here and very happy with the food. My partner and I had a burger each and our boys both had the children’s pizza. Very nice food, cooked well but I would say the plate did look a bit empty. Maybe some more chips and not in a small pot or side salad with the chips too. I was surprised how expensive the drinks were too. £3.95 for a glass of coke….. BUT! All in all a very nice place to eat, great atmosphere and the staff were nice too. Plus DOG FRIENDLY

Popped in for breakfast with a couple of friends. Lovely homely feeling place with friendly service and great food. The menu looked super tasty so would definitely go back!

Outside smelled really really bad, lots of customers moved or spoke about the smell of bins/fish. Have to order at bar and didnt have vodka/draught beers. Food distinctly average and was ready within 5 minutes, which was a bit weird. Sorry just wasnt very good.

Okay but too close to next tables, staff friendly but no uniform so not sure who was who. Ordering and paying on phone

Decent food, good drink selection and a large list of vegan and gluten free options.

Unfortunately I did not have a chance to eat at this place. I have left after about 15min of waiting when nobody approached me nor offered something to drink. When leaving I noticed a small label on the table with QR code on it. Too bad the service did not explain how the ordering process works at this place. I've never been there before. Apparently you scan the code and order via cellphone. I came in hungry and left hungry

Very relaxed venue great food, drinks and service. Highly recommended

Cons: It can get a bit noisy inside It seems the drink prices are not aimed to be competitive Online ordering forces you to decide whether you want to give tip or not before you actually receive the service. (How about giving a pay raise to your hard working staff instead?) Dirty tables in the garden Pros: Quick food & drink service Delicious food Garden is still a big plus Location Hot drinks served until closure Overall, it is a nice place for an occasional meal/drink with friends

probably my 4th or 5th visit over the years after a day at Studland Bay, Honey and Jess my labs were welcome as were myself and my teenage son. Food good and service quick as ever. As restored my faith in Loungers, after a very disappointing visit to one in alvern.

We went here for lunch. I had a sausage sandwich with fries and my husband had the soup of the day and a panini... Both were delicious. Great coffee too. The place is stylish and chilled out and the staff are friendly..

Came here with my Niece for lunch. I have walked past many times and always wanted a reason to come in. Far too many choices on the Menu so will have to come back soon. Thank you

So Myself arrived on their premises this morning to do our service, met this Lovely Female Manager called Jolene, she was an Absolute Star, Excellent Customer Service, She was very Patient with us, whilst I was getting a tad stressed because certain technicians in our company don't do the services properly so had major issues on site with their urinals, explained to her they should be serviced properly, Luckily I managed to clear the blockage in the pipeworks thanks to my equipment, couldn't do my job without it..so thanks.. she is a credit to your company, she Went above and beyond today, helped with the cleaning and Even Helped me with all my equipment, so thanks to Jolene".. a Star 🌟.. #100 Customer Service, #100%, #Circo Lounge, #Bournemouth, #RSH..

Best breakfast in town. Great coffee and friendly staff help to make it an all round great experience every single time.

Quite place, a bit overpriced on the food for average quality eggs pouchet from 4 eggs two of them where just boiled eggs poor decorated plate for small amount of food for more than 10£ a dish, the place is well decorated, it may be good for drinks maybe thanks anyway

Fantastic food , I would highly recommend going here to eat

There is not much to say about this place. Only one non alcoholic lager which they didn't refill in the fridge, so had to switch to low alcohol option which is not a favourite of mine. WiFi was non existent and 4g/5g connection was very poor. Other nearby locations were much better.

I love that it's not looks like the usual British place. Very neat place with fine food.

A nice group runs this place, who made me feel very welcome when I rushed in to do some work on my laptop, and sorted me out with a croissant that wouldn't go through in their app.

Every time I come here the staff are friendly, the food is great and always out quickly. Highly recommended for either brunch or dinner 😀

It’s just great. Everyone seems happy to work there. The food is great. It doesn’t hurt the wallet. Some peeps like the tapas but I get the chicken bacon salad. V filling. No guilt. Good place to meet or take the family for a meal where you don’t have to worry about the bill.

Great and extensive menu. Food is very good and well presented. Service is always quick. A really nice place for an informal meal

Very welcoming place to eat, a nice range of foods. I had the all-day brunch, very tasty 😋. Obviously very popular for lunchtime, with a number of families coming in. Ground floor disabled toilet/baby changing. I'll definitely be going again. Great idea👍 a card you can scan at the table to order and check for possible allergy problems.

For brunch today I had the smashed avocado with added halloumi and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! It was a good price (under £10 without the added halloumi) especially considering how delicious it was! A really tasty dish that arrived very quickly and was beautifully presented. My boyfriend had a full English that he demolished and said was amazing as well, again very fairly priced especially considering most places nowadays are so expensive! The whole place has a really homely vibe, very nicely decorated and with areas to just sit and have a chat and a drink for people of all ages- we will definitely return for a drink one evening!

Perfect place to eat and meet friends

Attend the quiz on a regular basis, always have a great time

The place is nice with a relaxing atmosphere. Service was fast and good, people are attentive. Prices are affordable, recommend to visit.

Really grumpy and unwelcoming vibes from every single member of staff on our visit April 25th. Food was mediocre at best. Tenderstem brocolli was a nice side, dressing on the avacado toast was disgusting, cibatta sandwich was a soggy mess.

Inconsistent, awful beer! If you want a couple of pints don't go to the lounges if you like your beer. One beer is good ,the next is awful. Simingly no reason for it other than untrained lazy staff!

I had the lounge breakfast and I don't like hash browns so I had extra mushrooms instead. I also had a poached egg as I prefer it to a fried egg and it was swopped with no problem.

I enjoyed my visit at the Circo Lounge. I had tapas, squids, prawns, and potato brava. The food was delicious. The squids were cooked perfectly. The prawns were delicious. The potatoes brava were ok. We used the QR code on the table to order our meal. All in all, I enjoyed it and will definitely return.

Great for cake, breakfast, cocktails whatever you fancy. Good all round

Whenever I go to Circo Lounge, I have a great time! I love this place :)

Great food and excellent service

Excellent tapas Tuesday! 3 tapas and glass wine less than £13. Good selection. Fab red wine. Good service. Buzzy atmosphere!

Better then I thought it was. Nice place inside. Food is decent too. Chicken fried was beautiful really tender and flavoured. Fries was good with it and the bbq sauce was nice and flavour too. What I like about it you know its fresh when u taste it. Might come back again and try something else never know might order it again.

Excellent service, food and atmosphere. I really love the Lounge bacon cheeseburger with fries and coleslaw. Perfect

Great place for a get together. Fab service/staff/food and drink. Defo recommend.

I didn't eat on this visit, but had a Brixton ale. Not my favourite ale, nevertheless there's plenty of other beers available. Ambient atmosphere, smart decor and pleasant service from Sadie and her colleague. Will return and try the tapas.

Perfect place on breakfast 🤩🤩🤩🤩lunch and dinner!!!

Thank you so much for an amazing gluten free menu, coeliac safe and really helpful staff. We all enjoyed our food will be back soon!

As always wide choice and good value for money, you get what you pay for and a touch more, hence 5*

A great venue to drink coffee or beer, to have breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.

What a great spot. Atmosphere is always lovely and staff is fantastic. Food is delicious and pints fresh. One of my favourite spots to hang out in the area.

Nice prices friendly staff good food Dog 🐕 friendly relaxed atmosphere

Saturday evening meal and drinks with friends, we all enjoyed our food, desserts and cocktails. Staff friendly and very helpful and attentive. Would definitely consider going back with friends and may try the Monday night quiz!

Hot chocolate 😋 with salted caramel syrup 😋 in a relaxed atmosphere with lovely welcoming staff . Lovely end to a long sunny walk .

First time at this lounge. Seated ourselves and ordered from the table. Service was very quick. Lots of space and the restaurant didn't feel crowded even though it was busy. We ordered a tapas board and a chilli. Both were really good and would order them again. The app was really easy to use and had a QR code to scan from the table. You could order at the bar if you preferred. Staff were very friendly and chatty. Would recommend.

Shocking. Stood at door for ages- not acknowledged so went to a table to be told to go back to the door and wait (lots of free tables) nah, your ok- I’ll take my service elsewhere. Shambles. Train your staff in some manners and customer service.

Second time I have visited Circo and there won’t be a third. First time, they weren’t serving breakfast. This time ignored for ages and when we finally approached someone to ask if we were able to sit down, we were told there were no tables available despite us being able to see at least 3 tables free…. Unfriendly and definitely the worst of any of the Lounges I have visited. If you want a friendly service, go to Ludo…. Always been welcomed there with super friendly and helpful staff!

We were sat down straight away on arrival, our order taken after looking at the menu, and the food arrived with an average wait time that you would expect. Food came out hot. Only thing that I would like to comment on, is the glasses for water could be a little cleaner and the sauce bottles could have lids to them whilst making sure there aren’t loads of empty bottles around. Other than that, the service was very efficient and worth what we paid for our meal.

Super welcoming atmosphere, delicious dishes and first-class service!

Circo is still the best of the lounges.

Upper end pricing but you definitely get what you pay for. Will return. Quiz night is for older crowd though, we got demolished.

If I could give this lounge more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. The atmosphere is wonderful, with quirky decorations and lovely staff. The food is absolutely delicious and beautiful presented. An amazing option for the prices as there is something for everyone, even children and vegans, which I find challenging to find sometimes with 2 picky children and a vegan in the family. The facilities are clean and the food is amazing. Quick service and just to rephrase, brilliant food. Great drinks selection and all brilliant. Definitely worth a visit and will be returning soon!

Food was great, nice variety of dishes, plenty of veg options, great value

Relaxed friendly environment- nice menu

Regularly at Circo lounge in Westbourne and on the whole it offers a good selection toon of food at reasonable prices and sometimes doesn’t have the odd item on the menu which understandable. This time the order was wrong, it was rectified without an apology and then we were ignored and the table left I cleaned which the member of staff had a drink at the bar and chatted to colleagues. People make mistakes but a simply sorry resolves things and then making an effort (cleaning the table) goes a distance to help.

Lovely atmosphere 👌 good food and coffee + tea 😀

Service great staff friendly had booking with 12 colleagues

I recently visited Circo Lounge in Poole, and it was an absolute delight! Despite the bustling atmosphere, we only had a brief 5-minute wait before being warmly greeted by a friendly waitress who promptly escorted us to our table. Ordering was a breeze with the convenient QR code system, allowing for easy browsing of the menu and seamless online payment. The food was simply delightful, accompanied by a great cup of coffee. The overall service was fantastic, and our waitress ensured our experience was nothing short of enjoyable. I highly recommend Circo Lounge for its welcoming ambiance, efficient service, and delicious offerings. A definite must-visit!

Return visit which I had recommended. Food great but found the app ordering time consuming (not for the older people I guess) having said that the staff were great.

Always loved lounges. Circo was such a nice vibe and I do love that you can order with a QR code.

Popped in here after a rather disappointing meal at Renoufs last night. We were delighted by the warm and friendly welcome we had from the 2 delightful chatty barmaids. (Unlike our earlier experience at Renoufs) I absolutely love the way the building has been designed and decorated with beautiful pictures, mirrors and quirky art deco pieces. Will certainly return.

Food attractively presented. Fresh taste too.

Didn't have any food, but the people I was with said it was good. My only gripe was it was a little darker than I would've liked, but good experience none the less.

Great value food and drink, and you can order on the app too.

Cosy place but has drinks have got very expensive recently. Most of the staff are brilliant, but there’s 1 or 2 who are bit moody. Gutted you don’t have Hazy Jane anymore but the Brixton is ok. Good if you want to have a relatively cheap, but tasty meal without having to wait on waiters / waitresses. Also a nice place to have a quietish drink with a relaxing ambience, especially if you get the seats by the front window. The garden is good too!

Went in for breakfast which is well priced, well cooked and all round great. We got there for 9.30am on a Sunday, plenty of seating but soon for busy. Lovely building with plenty of quirky pictures and such like to brighten up the inside.

Good traditional breakfast and the cider was good too. Surprised they got Helles beer! They were out of soap in the men's restroom, so I told the waiter. Within minutes he cared for it and refilled the soap. Excellent service!

1st time here whilst visiting my sister Monday was quiz night and very busy but we were still made to feel welcome. Got a table by the window, menu for most tastes and there were some good daily offers on which we took advantage offers.

Had my birthday dinner here with some loved ones, staff were friendly and provided amazing service! I brought my dog with me and the staff were lovely with her, such a wonderful dog friendly space. I got a steak which was delicious and I enjoyed a lovely dinner here, thanks!
