About Flares
Flares is a 1970s-themed party bar at 33 Mosley Street, at the lower end of the Bigg Market. It is part of the Stonegate group's retro bars and occupies a venue that previously traded as Circus Circus. The decor leans fully into the theme, with bright patterns, flashing lights, a raised dance floor and staff in glitter outfits, wigs and flares.
A DJ plays disco, funk, pop and party classics, and the bar offers booths, bottle service and reserved areas for groups, which makes it a regular stop for hen and stag parties and birthday nights. It opens on selected evenings rather than every day, and runs special hours through December and over New Year, so check the website for the current times before going.
