Located in Ann Arbor Michigan, The Circ and Root are two venues within the same building. The Circ Bar is upstairs and is well loved for its karoke nights, outdoor Roof Deck, and weekly events. Root is an underground industrial-chic speakeasy bar known for its amazing cocktails and stunning architecture. Our venue 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 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 Root 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 Root is 300.

In addition to The Circ and Root, 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 couple 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.
