Located in Ann Arbor Michigan, The Circ Bar and Rabbit Hole are two venues within the same building. The Circ Bar is upstairs and is well-loved for its karaoke nights, outdoor roof deck, and weekly events. Rabbit Hole is an underground industrial-chic speakeasy bar known for its amazing cocktails and stunning architecture. Our venues are perfect for brunch weddings, evening ceremonies and receptions, engagement parties, welcome drinks, and much more!

Facilities and Capacity

Couples typically begin their evening on the roof deck for a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a cocktail hour in the adjoining lounge space. From there, they move into the main bar to enjoy dinner amid the gorgeous wood beams and brick that give this building its character. Seating in the main bar is capped at 175, but many couples find that 150 is more comfortable in the space.

At the conclusion of dinner, guests head underground to Rabbit Hole for an evening of drinks, dancing, and desserts. The bar and DJ booth are located just off the dance floor, creating a centralized space for guests to gather for the first dance. As the evening wears on, guests enjoy exploring the many caverns and unique architecture of the space. The standing capacity in Rabbit Hole is 300.

In addition to The Circ and Rabbit Hole, there is a spacious bridal suite on site and an outdoor mural courtyard. The mural courtyard is a great option for couples who have more than 100 guests attending their ceremony, as it provides more seating space than the roof deck.

If couples are interested in nearby lodging, there is an Airbnb located directly next door that has multiple rooms for rent and a large shared common room. Contact your venue coordinator for more information.

Services Offered

Catering can be provided through The Circ and Rabbit Hole. The venues offer a selection of succulent meats, salads, and more. You can complement the meal with a customized beverage package and signature cocktails. Professional bartenders and servers ensure that food is served with care and consideration. The staff can also provide assistance with both setup and breakdown for your convenience.

So unique!

Our wedding at Circ & Root was absolutely incredible. The space is so unique and our guests will never stop raving about the cave rager :) Kate Anderson was super easy to work with - communicative, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. The bridal suite is HUGE and so fun to get ready in. We had about 130 guests and held our ceremony on the patio, reception in Circ, and dance party in Root. I was concerned about the transitions between the spaces and the coordination of so many vendors (including an outside caterer), but thanks to Kate & her team and my amazing wedding planner, Megan Kennedy, the event went off without a hitch and the night was absolutely perfect. The drinks were INCREDIBLE, especially at Root… people gave me endless compliments about the bartenders and the quality of drinks. It was a night we will never forget.

Our Dream Venue

I got married at the Circ and Root this Saturday and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough - the food was AMAZING, the guests were complementing the venue all night and Gloria was so helpful to work with!! 100% worth every penny and I would book them again in a heartbeat.

Amazing downtown wedding venue!

What an amazing venue! All of the guests were raving about how each section of the night was. All of the event staff were so sweet and great to work with. They even left a couple date night ideas for us before the guests arrived! The set up and takedown of tables/chairs and decorations was so fast and organized and there was always someone to help out when we needed it. The in-house catering is absolutely amazing and everyone loved the food from the buffet. It is definitely not the stereotypical wedding food. The bar staff were also amazing and created beautiful and delicious craft cocktails for all of the guests. The Circ and Root is an amazing business in downtown Ann Arbor, but they are an even better event venue!
