In Short – In an increasingly trendy town, this decidedly untrendy bar exists on a highly trafficked street--enough to make dive-bar fans jump for joy. Locals come here to sip Buds and a shot, or down powerful mixed drinks.
Best House Music in Town!
by SMartinez at Citysearch
Cardiff is by far the best bar/lounge in town to hear the best house music. If you want a great night of fun, dancing with a good looking mixed crowed, then Cardiff is your place! I have been going to Cardiff for over 5 years now and it keeps getting better! I always feel welcome and have a blast whether I am wth friends, co-workers, etc. Check it out - I'm sure you will get hooked too!
- Pros: Amazing DJ's, good looking crowd, hip hot spot
- Cons: Line can be long to get in, but worth the wait
Great House Music
by SoccerDude at Citysearch
I love Cardiff!!!! It is the only place left in San Jose
that places cool House Music!!! If you want to listen
to the sh_t that the music industry is telling to
on the weekends then go somewhere else!!!!
Yes it used to be a "Dive Bar" that is the whole point!!!
As far as the Bathrooms and club being dirty not true!! I have yet to be at a club so busy that was spotless!!!
- Pros: Music great easy parking
- Cons: Gets extremely crowded by 12:30
Stiff drinks
by zwingman at Citysearch
A good place for a good stiff drink. No frills, just good stiff drinks. A great place to go just to have a drink, talk with friends, and not have to impress everyone around you.
a dive
by dance4fun at Citysearch
HOUSE music drones on, the dance area is small,crowded and usually very soaked with alcohol. The bathrooms are usually unusable,filthy and disgusting, a Dive with tweeker scene undertones.. maybe overtones......No not so much. Katie Blooms is a better choice in Campbell or Kartooms(sp) or even the Kingshead or sonoma chicken coop keeping it casual. Boswells in the prune yard for the rockers,pop or disco crowd is OK too.
- Pros: parking available
- Cons: music,service,decor,smell,patronage
