Cardiff Lounge
Reviews
I've been an attendee of events here since 2007-2008. There's always a decent crowd (both in number and attitude), respectful bouncers, and heavy pouring bartenders. Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and some Sundays, House Music is playing. Wednesday nights are hip-hop night. Not "Lil John OKAAAAAY" type, but classic, lyric-driven, conscious hip-hop. There is no TOP40 played at this spot, and thankfully there never will be. Reading lots of previous reviews, folks are really pissy about the whole "No CA ID" thing. After talking with the owner of the venue, as well as his bounce staff, I can break down exactly WHY they have this policy in place: A person with a suspended license (usually happens with a DUI) has no license, so is left to obtain valid identification by using a CA ID. There's nothing wrong with this, but by weeding out patrons with CA IDs only, he prevents suspended license holders from coming in and drinking, which is probably what they did to get themselves in that position to begin with. Sometimes the rules don't make all the sense in the world, but they're there as a safeguard for both patrons coming into the establishment, and the owner's responsibility in providing a chill, drama-free environment. If you don't understand that, then this isn't the place for you.
Awesome place to make friends and discover good music
Who new you could find good house music in Campbell? Heard about this spot from a friend and decided to check it out despite my reluctance based on the local. Place is awesome and reminded me of places like 26 Mix, Club 6, Liquid, etc., spot I used to hit back in the day in SF. Don't know when I'll get back but if I'm in the area, Cardiff will be on the agenda.
Great place I love it!!
Love, Love the Cardiff.....Thanks for being here!!!!!
