About
Circus Osaka is the city's go-to for underground electronic music. The long, low main room puts the DJ booth on a stage at one end with bars along the side, and a bar lounge sits one floor up. Line-ups mix big-name international DJs with local residents, and the crowd is there for the music rather than bottle service. Club nights generally run Thursday to Sunday.
