Circa 33 was a bar and restaurant in southeast Portland, Oregon's Sunnyside neighborhood, in the United States.[1]
History
Circa 33 opened in October 2010.[5] The bar was operated by the restaurant group Independent Restaurant Concepts.[6] Joshua Johnston has also been credited as a co-owner.[5][7]
The bar participated in The Oregonian's Dumpling Week in 2018,[8] 2019,[9] and 2020.[10]
Circa 33 was among local businesses in the Rose City Downtown Collective seeking support in 2020, following the COVID-19 pandemic and George Floyd protests.[11] In August 2020, when Circa 33 was closed because of the pandemic, the bar's alleyway and back patio hosted a "gin-centric pop-up bar" called Gin Alley.[12][13] Gin Alley served strawberry-and-pepper gin fizzes, hazelnut mai tais, and martinis.[14] Circa 33 also supported a proposed plan to convert several blocks along Southeast Belmont Street into an outdoor dining area.[15]
Circa 33 closed in September 2021.[16]
