CIRCUIT Cardiff

You're walking down Greyfriars Road towards the city centre when you spot the queue building outside Circuit. This is the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—the 4.8 rating and packed dancefloor do that. Inside, it's exactly what a Cardiff nightclub should be: good DJs, loud enough to feel the bass but not so mental you can't have a word with your mates, and staff who actually seem to want you to have a good time rather than just clock off. Whether you're catching a proper set or just after a Friday night out without the city centre chaos, this is where locals actually come.
