Cirque Daiquiri Bar and Grill

I love Cirque Daiquiri Bar & Grill… I frequent here at least twice a week… The food is good — especially the Cirque Burger and the Lemon Pepper Wings. The atmosphere is chill and the music is always on point. The look is upscale but casual… And the staff is PHENOMENAL!!! The valet is pretty good… Nothing has ever been missing out of my car! The security is friendly, informative and definitely makes the place feel safe (Tren is the best Security, he greets you as soon as you step in the door, he is always patient, attentive and always there!!) Now the bartenders are EXCELLENT, Tracy is my FAVORITE!!! He is the best at making taylored drinks and they are always on point! The manager Mike is extremely nice… He is always walking around and making sure that the customers are being taken care of… I definitely feel like a somebody when I’m there. And lastly the owner… Keisha… She is a DOLL!!! Very personable and sweet!

Every day when I get off work, I’ve been passing by this place and smelling the enticing aroma of well-​cooked food. It smells so good you can almost taste it but I’d never stopped by there until 5÷13÷2016 when my job decided to use the place to host its 25^th-​anniversary celebration. I’m basing this review on what it was like at Cirque that day.
Let me begin this by saying I absolutely hate company parties. I love my job and my coworkers are the type of people I enjoy working with but I normally wouldn’t want to hang out with them outside of work. I’ve been employed at my current job for 3 years and still haven’t even attended any of their annual end of the year Holiday parties. I wanted to get out of this one too but couldn’t because it was scheduled for the hours of 12pm — 4pm on a regular work day and the whole office closed so we could all be there. (Groan!)
Since the small business I work for was established in 1991, the anniversary gala also had a 90s theme to it. I rode to Cirque’s with my supervisor, who was dressed like Don King (complete with a grey wig of electro-​shocked hair). I wore a Notorious BIG t-​shirt. Other coworkers cosplayed TLC, Steve Urkel and The Matrix movie. One coworker wore a Baywatch t-​shirt and another wore a Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls jersey. You get the drift.
I’ve read previous comments about valet parking here, but since we arrived around noon there was none and we parked anywhere we could find a space in the small parking lot.
The restaurant is small and has a weird shape to it. It also has an outside balcony area where patrons can sit and watch the cars pass by while enjoying their meals. The restaurant was clean and I found the employees to be very accommodating in their efforts to ensure we had as much fun as possible. The employees that day appeared to be in their 20s and 30s, were black and wore all black attire. Drinks were served at the bar and soon all the food was laid out for us on a long table. Since my company footed the bill, I’m not sure how much everything costs.
The food was amazing here! The layout consisted of french fries, shrimp, and many different flavors of hot wings. The wings were some of the best I’ve ever tasted and the shrimp was served in big, juicy pieces that melted in my mouth. The fries were average but I haven’t stopped thinking about how nice the wings and shrimp were.
While we were eating, the Cirque deejay stayed true to the theme and played mostly hip-​hop, r&b and pop music from the 90s. The only time they strayed away from the theme was when they played Prince songs from the 80s. The stereo system was loud enough where you had to shout to be heard over the music. Also, every now and then the sound system would make a loud BOOM sound that hurt your eardrums. Other than that, everyone was into the music.
Also, for our entertainment, there was a photo booth and karaōke machine. The photo booth had just enough room for two people to fit in and have their pictures taken. During karaōke, I was surprised to discover that a few or my coworkers actually had good singing voices. This despite the fact that some of them were quite tipsy at this point. I’m not a drinker but everyone who did was more than satisfied with colorful daiquiris that were served.
Keep in mind that I’m rating Cirque based on a company function, so I’m not sure if everything provided for this event is always available on regular days or if this is just how they do it for special occasions. I’m rating Cirque four stars for making an affair I wasn’t looking forward to into a day I won’t forget anytime soon. It wasn’t so bad after all.
Will be returning for more wings and shrimp!

Love, love, love this place! The daiquiri are huge and strong and delicious! The food is also very good food and on Saturdays there’s a Dj that plays 90s R&B mixed with current hip hop.

I went there this past weekend for my birthday, I had been contemplating putting a $ 100 reservation on a table to ensure my seating but opted against it and decided to wing it. Because it was my birthday I took über because my hotel was down the street to avoid the $ 10 valet which is the only on site parking option. The cover charge on a Friday was $ 5 for men and women all night, but because it was my birthday, I actually got in free, and so did the
three people that were with me. 3 of my friends arrived around 10:30 and chose seating right behind the live band that was playing and it happened to be my luck that there was a table of 6 that were leaving as I arrived around 11:15pm and they were right next to my friends. The inside was dim lit with a purple. Every one treated us so nicely and me especially because it was my birthday. I was extremely pleased because I did not pay to park (used free über ride code), did not pay to get in, although $ 5 is a low entry fee, and then my seats were right behind the live band that was amazing in skill. I ordered a drink, the bartender recommended a mixture of the sour apple, blue mofo, and another one and it was good and strong, cost $ 8, it only took one. My boyfriend ordered some drink that was like $ 15 taller than mine and it came with a shot of henn. And my other friends ordered daiquiri’s and coladas. I also ordered the sweet potato fries and the lemon pepper wings which were so delicious. I enjoyed myself, the food the drinks and the ambiance were all so upscale that I had to do a review because I had mixed feelings about celebrating my birthday here because of the bad reviews. My advice would be to try it for yourself, have part of your party arrive early enough to help hold your seats and you will be fine. I will definitely be back.

Besides the parking lot being way too small. This place was agood find. My mother and I camw here as for a belated birthday celebration. We had an absolute blast. This was the first time my mother tried hookah, the funniest thing you will ever see in your life. At some point throughout the night the music was just Extremely Loud and I could barely hear myself think but besides that it was a great place to have an awesome time and the food was really good. I had the broiled shrimp with crab legs and it was season very well and the shrimp gave off such a good bite. I also had the Pina Colada and strawberry slushie drinks and that was pretty sweet as well. I will go back again to try other things on the menu.

First off… Let’s start by talking about the valet ! The manager whose name I believe is Danny… Rude as can be ! Always arguing w. The customers thinking he’s right. Customers constantly complaining about how rude he is
And how he talks to the customers… Then the way he talks to his staff in front of customers is not fair. After witnessing this a few time I’ve decided that I will no longer valet with them. He over parks cars to the point where the other workers have to move cars in order to get cars out. I’ve worked valet before and that’s not how you do it. You’re risking hitting someone’s car. So as I was saying I will no longer be parking there and I would rather park up the st somewhere but not with him.

Had to stop here being that i couldn’t find a Fat Tuesdays ! Lol. But i must say its giving them some competition ! The drinks were great and the Calamari was fresh !! Its a local stop for Celebrities and has outdoor seating which is a plus. Paid Valet parking gets expensive as the night goes on so get there early since its the only option.

I’ve live 3min away from this place for years and never tried it out until last night. A few years back it was the Pie Bar and way back in the day it was a SunTrust Bank! It’s really cute because of the circular shape and the neon colors that you can see from the express way. They only have valet parking for $ 10 and after 9pm there was an entrance fee of $ 5. They had a live band on the inside and had regular hiphop music playing through the loud speakers on the outside patio/​deck area. This place kinda puts you in the mind of a better wet willies. I had a Bob Marley, Crab Cakes and a hookah. I was a little disappointed in the 1 crab cake for $ 9 but it was pretty good and I really wasn’t hungry. The ambiance and vibe of this spot was kinda cool. I will be returning soon.

The aroma from outside was the reason I visited. Since it was nice we sat outside. Had to order a regular dacquiri because I had a meeting and cldnt be tipsy. The dacquiri was the best! Food was good and had a great server. Plan to visit again to try the large dacquiri.

Went there to celebrate my bff birthday. Ima get straight to the points. 1. $ 10 parking 2. $ 5 entry fee all cash. Once your in, thank God we had reservations bc if you don’t, ur standing most of the time. 3. Bad looking bathrooms, or we just went in there on a bad time bc one stall was use able the other one had shit on toilet. Later during the time, someone obviously cleaned the mess up.
Um. The music was decent. DJ played today’s r n b hip hop and old school. Our waittress was awesome attentive. She made sure we had our food n drinks. When we first got our food it was cold but she got us another round of food that was hot n perfect. There is no dance floor, you just dance where ever. Over all, you make it how you want. So we had fun.

The only thing saving this review is the drinks and the valet people. I really don’t want to give any stars.
When my friend and I arrived, we were greeted by nice and polite valet workers. We appreciated them. The security at the door was nice also. The drinks we ordered at the bar were nice and strong.
So I’m not sure if it was because we moved to a table after being at the bar, but no one came to serve us. We had like 3 servers walk past our table without uttering a single word. Literally not. one. word. The hostess didn’t even make an effort to let anyone know that someone was sitting in their section waiting to be served. So my friend and I left and I don’t even think I want to give them another chance.

I have been hearing about this restaurant for a while now & decided to go. Me & my boyfriend went on Valentines Day. Lets just say it was interesting. When we first walked in we were greeted with loud blaring music. Am I at a club or a restaurant? We were seated fairly quickly & it went downhill from there. It took forever for someone to come by the table & ask us what we wanted to drink. The lady who sat us at the table came over to say do you know what you want to order because the kitchen is about to close. We asked her can she take our drink orders & she told us no & that she was only doing food orders because the kitchen was about to close. This was about 10:30 or so. I ordered the lamb chops & it came with mashed potatoes & spinach. My boyfriend ordered the fried shrimp & fries. The food was fairly good. Only thing was that my food could have been a little warmer.
It was Valentines Day so I expected it to be crowded but the service here sucks. Its apparent they were under staffed so catching a waiter was a hassle. The guy assisting us was going around to random tables asking people «did you order this» so it was apparent that he was overwhelmed. We tried to get his attention once & he held up his finger & told us wait a minute. The drinks were ok but I didn’t get a buzz at all.
Would I go back? Maybe but they need more wait staff, less confusion & music not to be blaring over the speakers to where I can’t talk or hear the person that I’m with.

Went for a birthday party. This building is so weird and has changed out ownership so many times. They have valet and they moved quickly. It was only $ 5. The restaurant when you come in looks pretty nice. Big round space and the bar has tons of daquiri machines. So its like an upscale Daquiri Factory.
The menu is mostly seafood and fish. I ordered fried crab fingers. They were really good. I also had the fish tacos and a turkey burger. No lie everything I tried and that my friends tried was really good. I was impressed. The layout of the menu made absolutely no sense and needs serious redesign but our waiter was amazing at helping me navigate. The daquiris were tasty but that’s not my thing. I ordered their patron Margarita on the rocks. It was really good! Tasted like some quality ingredients. It was $ 18 and all the drinks are priced higher but I’d say they are worth it.
The place has tons of TVs. The music was a little girls night with Beyonce, Mariah Carey and that kind of stuff. At first it was cool but then it got dry. They needed a love band or an awesome DJ. The place really didn’t get packed until after 11. I ordered a hookah. The girl was really nice and helpful but it was the worst hookah I have had in my life. Weak smoke, I don’t think it was set up right. Charcoals weren’t changed out enough. I think the shisha and the charcoals were just too low of a quality. I know everyone thinks its just a trend but there is a quality that shisha should have and this place was serving it up without the good hookah service.
Other than that this place is great for a date, dinner party or just a night out with friends. Make resevations!

Cirque is supposed to be a more upscale version of the Daiquiri Factory. It’s actually owned by the same people. The establishment is housed in the same building as its former counterparts, Ixtlan and Piebar. The building is not hard to miss because you can literally see the purple neon lights from the highway.
A couple of friends and I came on a Saturday night hoping to grab a few drinks and apps before heading to the next venue. Parking was a little bit of a challenge because valet was the only available option and they appeared to be short staffed. The valet was not courteous and the wait was too long. Although at $ 10 it’s not the most expensive, patrons are still paying for a service.
Upon entering we were told that the wait was an hour and a half but decided to wait since the group had already paid for parking. During our wait we ordered a few daquiris from the bar and listened to the live DJ. We were excited when we finally heard our name over the loud speaker. We sat outside on the patio and had to wait several minutes for the heater to be turned on and to place drink and food orders. There was also a substantial wait for the items to arrive. Our waitress was very pleasant but I think because the venue was swamped service was a little lax.
Prices are reasonable as drinks range from $ 8 – 15 and entrees $ 12 – 25. The frozen drinks were tasty but could be stronger in my opinion. From the wings to the lamb chops everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. Unfortunately because of the long wait we weren’t able to go to our next venue as planned but overall we enjoyed ourselves.

This place has so much potential. I came here for the second time only because it was my friend’s birthday dinner and she wanted to come here. We called and they informed us valet was $ 5. I arrived about 9:15pm and they said valet is $ 10 after 9pm. Why were we not informed of that?
Anywhoo, we were seated promptly. That was no problem which was good since we had a large party. The general manager took our orders which I thought was a good sign. I was wrong. It took over 20 minutes for us to receive drinks. A few people in our party actually received the wrong drinks. A member of our party ordered fries and crab fingers as an appetizer, when the crab fingers came out surprise surprise, no fries. She was annoyed but let it go.
I ordered food at about 9:45pm, my catfish sandwich didn’t arrive until 11:00pm. I had lost my appetite by then. There was no order to the way they bring your food out. They don’t have seat numbers so that they can effectively deliver food to the right person at the table. They kind of just stand there and say, «who ordered this?». It’s a shame, the food is pretty decent.
Once I got my food I immediately asked for a box. The catfish sandwich claimed to have cajun tartar sauce on it. When it arrived, there was no tartar sauce and the waiter seemed confused about what kind of sauce should have accompanied it.
I left and waited about 15 minutes for valet to bring my car. Terrible valet service. People were just standing around in huddles waiting for their cars.
Like I said before, never again.

No. Just no.
I went in today and they were behind opening up (they were suppose to open at 12 and I arrived at 1:30). That’s perfectly fine with me since I don’t mind being the first person at places and wait for others to arrive.
So I left out for awhile to talk to the EXTREMELY nice valet guy. I came back in when my guest arrived. We sat ourselves. This is when things went down hill:
I went to the bar to place our orders and the bartender basically ignored me while she continued to text on her phone… umm okay.
When she finally acknowledged me she said «okay baby, you’re ready?» Before I told her what I wanted, she started back texting on her phone! Then she printed out a sheet of paper to come to our table to take our order. I won’t be back. The food was okay and the drinks were ok as well. But I have to give great compliments to the valet because he was awesome.

The drinks here are awesome. It was a Friday afternoon when me and my friend stopped by to grab a drink. Valet only, it seems like.
It was pretty loud inside so we opted to sit outside. but it was even louder.
Our waitress told us it was BOGO small drinks and wings for the day.
We both got a drink and her recommendations didn’t disappoint.
I had a jolly rancher with pineapple, and my friend had mango with peach.
We also got an order of wings with french fries.
It was a nice day so I didn’t mind sitting outside.
The only thing is, it is almost impossible to get some service out there.
Before we knew it we had to go and didn’t get a 2^nd round of drink that were suppose to be free so we thought one of ours would be free. (we were wrong)
Overall, the food and drinks were great. But the service was horrible.
I’d love to be back for drinks, but there are places with the same drinks and better service.

The frozen drinks are always so great here but the shrimp boil I ordered on my fourth visit looked so great that it almost hurt my heart when the red potatoes were cold.
Their wings and calamari are always great, very flavorful. I sent the shrimp boil plate back due to the potatoes being cold and the wait for my replacement plate was not too bad.

I visited this lovely establishment yesterday for all you can eat crab legs (Monday)! Complimentary valet parking before a certain time which is nice. I just really enjoyed the vibe of Cirque. One of the more nicer places that I’ve visited in Atlanta. The seating area outside is really nice, hopefully when it cools down I’ll get a chance to sit out there.
Service:
Our server for the evening was a young man named Tori. He really took care of me and my friend. He anticipated our needs before we even asked, signs of great service. We didn’t even ask for water and brought it to us. He kept our drinks filled. Had great recommendations. He kept the crab legs rollingggggg! There was never a time we had to wait for crablegs. The hostess came and chatted it up with too, she is hilarious! Definitely a ⁵⁄₅ on service.
Food:
Crablegs were excellent. Seasoned to perfection. Almost as good as my mom’s crablegs. The best I’ve ever had at a restaurant. My friend ordered chicken and waffles, and we got fish & waffles instead. Not sure how they made that mistake, but the combination was actually REALLY GOOD! The waffle was nothing to scream about though.
The staff is sooooooooo cool! Special S/​O to Brandon and Lexie for making our visit extra special. Overall, I would recommend Cirque to anybody. My experience was amazing. Apparently it does get super busy, but last night was not pack which worked to our advantage.

All I have to say is that I agree with the other Unilocalers review that gave a one star for this new establishment. Boooooo!!!
I tried but it was a epic failure
