Le décor intérieur actuel daterait des années 1920 et aurait été mis en place par l'architecte Jean-Baptiste Memery. La frise en panneaux de céramique, produits par la manufacture de Sarreguemines (57) et représentant une grande parade de clowns, a failli disparaître en 1987.

Café attested in 1902, taking its name from the activities of the Cirque d'Hiver, situated nearby. The present interior decoration would date from the 1920s and would have been installed by the architect Jean-Baptiste Memery. The frieze in ceramic panels, produced by the Sarreguemines manufactory (57) and depicting a great clown parade, almost disappeared in 1987.
