Circa

Circa, the 4 storey nightclub at John and Richmond in downtown Toronto, is not only the largest club in the city, but also well designed, entertaining experience.

To start with, acessing the club is easy and efficient, with an indoor line-up area (very pleasent during the winter) with several payment booths to keep the line running smoothly. Once you enter the club, you're taken directly into the main room, where there's a stage for the main DJ or other artist of the night. To get to other rooms simply requires taking the nearby escalator, or moving to the back where there's an elevator.

Circa dosen't stop the experience at efficiency, the main attraction is discovering the various themed rooms in the complex. These smaller rooms provide more intimate areas within the complex which has a capacity in the thousands. Each room has a unique motif (all fitting in with the general cool, fun aesthetic) and enjoyable features, such: as the Skyy Cinema Lounge, where clubbers can lounge on the sleek black and white couches while viewing videos; the washroom bar, a tiled space which feature a toilet shaped bar, and a dentist's chair which by nature encourages visitors to sit in it, and often pose with it for pictures; and also the sensacell bar, which is a futuristic space lit in warm tones, featuring a bar which responds to touch by lighting up taking interactivity to the next level (video posted.)

All of this goes to show why Circa's been said to "put the 'art' back in 'party', and why it continues to draw crowds in the thousands weekend after weekend.
