Black Circle Bistro

Black Circle Bistro, located at 1318 Harper Road in Beckley, West Virginia, opened its doors in September 2023, quickly establishing itself as a beloved local dining and entertainment spot. Housed in a former Gulf service station, the venue retains a vintage charm, offering a unique blend of “Y’allternative cuisine” and a modern pinball arcade. The bistro features a rotating collection of pinball machines, including titles such as Deadpool, Godzilla, and Jurassic Park, and regularly hosts pinball tournaments, contributing to its lively and casual atmosphere.

Owner and chef April Sauls, inspired by her participation in a local pinball league, transformed the historic building, which previously housed Poncho & Lefty’s, into a community hub. Black Circle Bistro is recognized for its commitment to sourcing local Appalachian ingredients for its menu, which includes award-winning burgers and chocolate chip cookies that were named the best in West Virginia by RealWV readers in 2024. The establishment fosters a welcoming environment for families, friends, and even pets on its patio, creating a space where culinary delights meet recreational fun and community spirit thrives.
