The Cardiff Lounge existed as a scruffy neighborhood bar until it got a modern makeover and cemented itself as the new Campbell hotspot for chilling out and dancing to slick DJ stylings.  Even though we loved this local bar in its previous incarnation—shooting stick against the wizened regulars—Cardiff, as the new hipster spot, is indeed a welcome addition to Campbell’s growing nightclub scene.

DJs Arturo Garces, Gabriel Black and Louie G. host Get Down Tuesdays at the Cardiff Lounge. Their house and hip-hop beats keep the crowds coming at this Campbell hot spot, a former dive bar that now welcomes a new crop of the area’s hippest clubbers and partiers. With limited seating around the bar, the Cardiff Lounge draws the masses out onto the dance floor, keeping the music loud and the crowds hungry for a post-bar visit to Slice pizza next door.
