Club Circus

Really good intimate nightclub. The people who go there are lovely and really bring the right vibe. The Void soundsystem they have sounds excellent in the space. It also didn't feel grimy or too hot like most other clubs. Prices for soft drinks are too high though. ¥500 for a bottle of water is annoying.

Void soundsystem, good techno music, dark, drinks are 700. Cover was 2500 but it can differ from event to event.
Great place if you're into that!

Real feel-good vibes. Here the real music lovers gather. The members of this club are top-notch, the crème de la crème of the underground Osaka music scene. I’ll be back for more juicy jams and awesome energy! Good good good.. go for it..

As a former Osaka local, this is my most favourite club by far. I've had best memorable nights with my mates here. Music, artists, sound system are all great. No flirting or creeps, people come here to actually enjoy the music so it feels safe and welcomed by lots of other friendly music lovers from all around the world. I enjoyed small talks with other ppl in the staircase a lot as well. The venue is tiny but that is what makes this club special for me, some ppl got an autograph when the DJ came out of the club lol

Depending on events floor setting is different, usually there's a DJ booth in the back, but sometimes they put a booth in the middle of the dance floor just like Boiler Room and that's when the whole vibes get even more magical.
Likewise, whether the staff lets you reentry for free and whether gives you a drink ticket depend on events so ask the guy in the entrance first and avoid trouble. I loved local DJs as well, but you might want to check who is playing on the night on their instagram or website before you visit.
Mind these things and fully enjoy your time here.

They push the sound system really hard, so bring earplugs. They might let you pay a reentry fee, but it wasn't the case for me. Overall, a nice party!

Sound system = dope.
Staff and bartenders = super friendly!
And no more smoking in the club! So you can dance and not choke to death.
A rare gem with impeccable music curation.

Don't believe any review that talks sh*t on this club -- it's well worth the visit but go late.

1000/10 went here and couldn’t remember how I got home.
Good vibes 😮‍💨

Real feel-good vibes. Here the real music lovers gather. The members of this club are top-notch, the crème de la crème of the underground Osaka music scene. Thank you MILEZ and Oiwa-San for helping me get my lost key back. I’ll be back for more juicy jams and awesome energy!

Please don't take any of the previous reviews into consideration. All three "Club critics" went to a private party and crappy experience not because of negligence from the club but more so from their organizer.

Circus specializes in underground music from ranging from hip hope to techno. Some of the best artist from all four corners of the globe play there constantly and with top quality sound system. Their service is excellent and ticket prices are reasonable if you compare it to other local clubs and events.

Great speaker system and good solid DJs coming through on weekends. Some local talent on show as well. Sometimes special events on off days.
Ignore the comments about all you can drink etc... This is a DJ and music club.

Great intimate venue, techno night I went to wasn't too crowded, everyone had space to dance. Also being a foreigner, I felt welcome there, the locals and staff were friendly! Great sound system, great night :)

Wow, amazed by the unfortunate ignorance of some of the previous reviewers. Since its inception, Circus has been at the forefront of and remains a life force of the underground electronic music scene in Japan. Not only do they regularly book some of the best underground techno/house/juke/bass/ artists from around the world, they also help foster a community for local DJs and help maintain Osaka's underground music scene. A great sound system and attentive sound engineers help make a well-organized night at circus an experience equilavent to the best clubs around the world (at least of a similar size/scale.)
If you had a bad experience there, my guess is that whomever was organizing the party is to blame, not the club itself.
Anyway, highly recommended for underground music lovers.

Packed club but a wicked time and awesome music!!!

was my first time and definitely will come again, techno party is so fun

My favorite club in Japan, good line-up and even greater atmosphere! I've made great friends and spent many unforgettable nights there.

Great small venue with an amazing sound system.

The midmight music is great specially during the weekend

This is a very Good Hotel & its food is very tasty.

Love playing here, great sound system and they alway program varying bass music acts

Best club in Osaka, especially the music. Very chill people without the typical woman hunting gaijins.
