We had the best night celebrating our friends 21st birthday here! Haley was amazing and took the best care of us (and made awesome drinks!!!) Thank you!!!
Im 66 with my girlfreind,figure stop by and check it out.Mainly younger crowd,very busy.It was karaoke night.Had fun just the same.
My recent visit to Khartrum Bar in Campbell was nothing short of a nightmare. Upon attempting to engage with bartender Nikki for service, I was met with appalling aggression and unprofessionalism that left me shaken and deeply disappointed.Nikkis behavior went beyond rude; it was downright hostile. She began yelling and even resorted to throwing lemon and ice at me, actions that were disgracefully captured on the bars security cameras. Feeling utterly disrespected and unsafe, I couldnt believe the lack of professionalism displayed.This experience was a stark reminder of the importance of customer service and basic human decency. Khartrum Bar failed miserably in this regard, and I strongly caution against patronizing an establishment that allows such behavior from its staff. Save yourself the trouble and seek out venues where customers are treated with respect and courtesy.Doesn’t Matter what I did, at the end of the story she was attacked me by throwing ice and lemon on me, then I kicked out from the bar because she “said”. I’m not gonna come back and I’m gonna fill complain in the license.
It is a fun place to meet friends and get a couple drinks. It has always seem to be the same type of place, even through all its outside remodeling. No more shuffleboard though, so that sucks. The staff is usually really nice and the crowd is usually a good size depending on what night you are there. Hit it up to check it out if you are drinking a night in dt campbell, just dont expect anything amazing or different/new.
Haley was awesome and amazing! She truly made my friend’s 21st birthday so special!!!
Been coming here for almost a year now. The staff is awesome. Friendly, love the personality mix. When there is an issue, you can always say something to security and they handle it.
Great Staff, Atmosphere! It was a while since I went to Khartoum and the place has not missed a beat. Drinks on point, perfect ambience with music and scenery!
Brett made sure all of my drinks were made perfect and timely. We love him.
Last night I went out with my friend and Brent was very quick to take our drink order! Thank you for being amazing and took care of us!
The security guy, named Jordan, was very unpolite to everybody in the group, and didn’t let two friends get in, without motivation. They were without their ids, but were going back to the hotel to pick it up. But Jordan said that even with their ids, he would not let them in, as they were “unpolite to him”. And that was a lie. It seems that they just don’t care or need clients. Do not recommend to anyone.
I think this is one of the only places in Campbell that I would invite people to come out to as the Irish pub gets overly crowded and the bar is impossible to get a drink from. The spot that calls them selves a dance club usually has a lot of fights and overpriced VIP section. And of course the cave plays so much house, techno and electronica you would think you were at a rave without the fun lights and drugs.Khartoum has the best venue for sports, karaoke and drinks in a fun relaxing environment.
I come here twice a week and love it! All the workers are amazing (especially Brent and Jordan)
Pretty good for what it is. A slightly nicer version of a dive bar. Irish themed. The crowd was mainly on the older side until about 10pm, then some late twenties to thirties came in. Variety of seating options including soft seating, round high top tables, long high top table for larger party.Slightly hidden inside what looks like maybe a mixed office building
Haley is the best she was the best and made amazing drinks!
Khartoum is the best bar in Campbell! Haley is the best bartender in Campbell!
Brent is amazing human ! He always so nice, always takes care of us !! Always coming back
It was like a well decorated and well-loved college bar, complete with that “spilt beer baked into the floorboards” smell. Was a good time!
Awesome bar! The bartenders and waitresses are awesome! Friendly atmosphere, great prices. Good for singles, couples, and groups.Update: nothing has really changed. They had a hardship with the city bit have overcome that hardship. Still the best bar in Campbell. Friendly staff and patrons
My friend got kicked out because the security guard said she was dozing off in the lounge but she was at the bar the whole time. The security guard’s name is Estaban. I will never go to this bar again. It is boring and the security guards are on a power trip. The bar is so boring that no one is dancing. Do not go here if you’re trying to have a fun night.
Didnt have food but Id score it an easy 10!
Went last night, the one bouncer was incredibly rude and the other bouncers just stood around as he spoke to us awfully. So unbelievable they let their employees talk to people that way, tried to give them a chance after everything happened with the bartender adding things into girl’s drinks, will not be going back! Do not go if you are a women, you’ll feel super unsafe.
If I could give this place 0 stars I would. My son is on the spectrum and 21. He has a medical condition and has lost weight since receiving his real ID. The bartenders were incredibly rude and I felt a sense of prejudice. Even with my California ID as a parent, they did not acknowledge me. Worst experience and I was worried they would take my son’s government issued ID. They tried to intimidate me and my son.
Questionable - second time at this establishment. The restroom reeked of vomit. While finishing my beverage, I was told by security the place was closed at 1:45 and needed to leave. I ask how it could be when the website said 2am. They have a jukebox (TouchTunes) that allows you to play music thru an app on your phone. I placed money on the jukebox at midnight and never heard my songs play. The security was a little aggressive and accused me of arguing when I only requested clarification of the closing time. I explained my concern because I paid to play music and never heard the songs. The bar manager took my information and claims someone may credit me for the jukebox money. I had hopes this would be my new dive bar but a security officer with attitude without cause does make for a pleasant place. I will update If i hear back from establishment.
This bar is one of a kind with the people and the vibes.. I love going on a wednesday or thursday its karaoke night and it gets pretty fun. Weekend can get a bit too much cause people in general. The drinks are great though. Service is good and you will meet some new friends if thats what you are looking for. Theres darts, foosball, couches, and something kinda fun. There are 13 hidden dolphins in the bar. Whether it be in stained glass or not. Kinda cool little game. (I still havent found them all and its been years! Lol
Warm and cozy local watering hole,very friendly and talented bar stafftake part in Karaoke night on Wednesdays
This place is crowded all the time.One of the few places open late in Campbell which is why we end up there but we always regret it. The bartenders over serve people, so theres always someone throwing up or people fighting. The security is clearly untrained and on different pages randomly throwing people out, randomly letting people in. Dont waste your time or money there. Unless you like feeling unsafe and having sweaty gross men touch you every chance they get.Also, Im not sure how this bar even has this many stars on here but if you need more proof of how bad this place is, you can find those reviews on Yelp.
This place is so great. Best vibe. Great energy. Bartenders top notch. And the renovation they did recently adds so much to the vibe. Perfect place to grab a drink when you’re spending an evening in downtown Campbell.
Even with its upgrade its a four star bar at best! But that is the charm of this place. Good, but never over the top great. Its for the common people!
Did not like how I was lounging since this is a lounge … and was given permission to be there by another worker, who then left. The other worker tried to be sneaky and speak to me in a disrespectful way did not like that. Man. Happened 12/12/2023 around 9:15 PM
Best bar in the San Jose region - doesn’t matter what you’re looking for - they always have the correct games on their TVs which is a big pet peeve of mine for other bars, drinks are on point, and they just put in these ridiculously comfortable leather couches all around, 100% recommend.
Our experience was GREAT!! The Staff, Security and Bartenders great and quick with serving up everyone for it to be so crowded, wanna give a shot out Shileah and Jared from the basketball park for making sure our experience was superb and also to guy with the BIG mustache who found our phones Thank You we owe you one! We will be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Okay, Im going to say it... I miss Boswells. But, this place is still in the family, its larger and has better couches. For the 10-plus years I lived in Campbell, Khartoum was the mystery location that always had the just sit back and enjoy your drink vibe. Once Davys Karaoke re-established itself there Wednesdays/Thursdays, it became my new favorite in Campbell. If you want DJd house music on weekends, go to the Diff, but if youre like me hang out at Khartoum. Theyve got a great selection from well to top shelf, and the hardest-working bartenders in South Valley. While youre there, tip well and raise a glass to Kelly.EDIT 8/30/23 - dropped by for karaoke with DJ Davey, just a reminder that Wednesday nights are usually the quiet night that are best for dropping some talent and getting out while no ones listening 😂Its a great place to just hang out with a drink and maybe a good friend or 3, just make sure your ID is 1) up to date and 2) with you at all times.
This place is pretty cool. The best thing I love about it are the couches. Lay back on a couch and chill, thats exactly what I wanna do when drinking after a hard days work, especially drinking a lot. Beer was cheap, bartender was attentive, really cool place. Plus they played a lot of rock. ( DEFTONES, my favorite) Will definitely make it back to that spot.
Had the most lit night of my life. Vodka reddies were insanely good. We would like to inherit this place cause it’s so lit. The guy in the bathroom was wild but cool. The only complaint is that the Moscow mule was just vodka no mule but it treated my friend right and she got super lit. Well trained security they how to pick you up when you fall down. Celebrity appearances were awesome and we cannot wait to come back and drink more vodka reddies thank you for your service - Paige
Brent is the best bartender always caring and makes the best drinks
Tuesday nights (@ 7:30) are trivia nights. Its not easy, so bring a friend or two. The bartenders do a great job of keeping up with the drink orders! As always, the couches and stained glass make for a comfy atmosphere (but when are they gonna finish working on the ceiling?)
A good bar, security is really nice. However it gets PACKED. It gets impossible to order on some nights. And if you want to move to a less packed area of the bar, have fun pushing through a crowd. And if you grew up in this area, every weekend is like an unwanted high school reunion...
Decent dive-like bar with interesting furniture. Karaoke is only Wednesday and Thursday though in the past I swear it was on Fridays. On Saturday it was pretty dead.. given no karaoke and theres tons of construction outside right now. Maybe it will be better after. Rum and soda cost $10 which seems steep especially for this place. The bartender was nice. Jello shots 2 for $5.. interesting! We didnt stay long but had fun at karaoke in the past.
Comfy hangout spot with lots of leather sofas and tvs surrounding the whole place. clean bathrooms though they needed to refill the paper. good variety of beers. dimly lit, huge bar with their own parking lot. enjoyed the decor too, filled the walls and comforting space. would go back to hang out with friends while catching a game on TV!
Great karaoke nightDelicious drinks
It is a very overcrowded Dive Bar where you have to push people aside to get through. It wasnt until I was already in the place was way over crowded that the person checking IDs in the front of the bar would even count how many people were going in. I felt like I was being pushed around. The only reason why Im giving at least two stars is that the bartender was a very nice lady and really was working the bar well. There needs to be a way for the person letting people in to track how many are going in because I think it was way past Max Capacity
The atmosphere is great, as is the service. There are so many spots to hang out, and if you get cozy and dont want to head to the bar, just wait - a waiter will come and ask if you would like drinks. Sometimes the music isnt the best for dancing, but it can get better. This is a great place to spend New Years as well.
Excellent decor, a lot of space on the bar and on couches. Sports bar during the day with multiple large screens. Older regulars earlier in the day and $4 drafts/well happy hour until 7. Active young beautiful manager and the friendliest of bartenders. Younger tech crowd arrives later in the night. Story: I do non-profit goodie type stuff and a younger woman sits next to me one day and goes into how she does not get nice guys and basically they can go to hell. Then asks me what my story is.
Our bartender was great, the bouncers and bus boy have serious attitude problems. I hope the owner is okay with losing money because of their attitudes and sensitive egos.
What a place. Came every Thursday for karaoke religiously while working in San Jose. We had a blast every time we made our way out here.
Great place to hang out and snag a few drinks. No pool table or recreation but they do have a jukebox and contemporary feel. My boyfriends friend is security so this might be a little biased, but in my opinion the service is great.
Haley- was the best bartender 🥰😍😉🫡
Khartoum is generally a place you go when you want a fun, casual night out surrounded by 20-somethings. Overall a really good bar with fair prices, friendly bartenders and bouncers, and many seating areas.But New Years Eve stands out. They didnt charge cover (easily could have) and had balloons + fun hats and noise-makers all over the place. They also had a DJ, just before midnight handed out sparling wine for FREE like crazy, and even did a balloon drop when Jan 1 rolled around. They went above and beyond which contributed to an awesome transition into 2020.This bar is a fantastic part of the Campbell community.
This is my favorite sports bar in Campbell. It has lots of rich, deep, comfortable leather chairs and couches reminiscent of olde English manors. Khartoum has a dozen wall mounted TVs that let you can watch all NFL games at the same time. Football fans feel like a kid at Disneyland during football season. Nice bar and friendly service. While they dont normally serve food, they often have free pizza or chicken wings during games.
A great place to visit and socialize with many locals both young and old in the Campbell area. Campbell of the late 90s had many bars that advertised to all and over the years most have shut down. This is one establishment that has ridden the tides of change and overcome. Place to be seen. My new favorite with Cardiff lounge in downtown Campbell.
Classic lame campbell bar not letting people in even tho it’s empty just because they want to make it look like there’s a line… these f tier security guards need a reality check fr
Happened to be here on Karaoke night. Staff was great, but the singers were.... Meh. 😏. Ive been here many times, and never had an issue or a reason to not come back. I recommend this bar for anyone who wants a good drink and an entertaining atmosphere
Service was good. But the bars security should not be rushing the customers out before 2AM. One security man snatched my drink before I could finish it. I paid for my drink. I would like to have time to finish my drink as long as I am out of the bar by 2AM.
A hidden gem, how many times have you driven past the Cannery in Campbell and not realized there was a bar there. Karthoum is the Cheers of Campbell, funky furnishings, friendly staff, several rotating taps, tap takeovers etc.. Just stay away until 8pm, so I can enjoy it
Patrons talk waaay too loud in here. Otherwise its a really great place.
Best bar in town! Great environment for the younger crowd lots of seating and long bar. Not over priced drinks. I go for the awesome karaoke Thursdays.
This is a local spot hands down. Lots of screens for sports, but I wouldnt say its a sports bar. Combination of couches, old furniture, tall bar tables and regular height too. They dont serve food here but you can bring in your own, on occasion they buy some pizzas or have a local bbqing out on the sidewalk. The Green Bay Packers have their meet up here in but its in a private-ish back room so no worries there. Lots of different events throughout the week:music, comedy, etc.
Never been a fan of Khartoum. Naturally its just a dive bar. No real dance floor, just meet and greet and having drinks. More or less youll find the same type of young people there.
Its a cool place with all the decorations, mixed drinks are not good. So if you care about how your cocktail taste like then just others something like wine or beer.
Visiting from Wisconsin, decided to stop in for the first packer game of the year! Awesome atmosphere, everyone is super nice and welcoming. Would recommend to ANYONE visiting the area!
Good looking place; Nice Atmosphere. Service was good, but could have benn friendlier. The Bar is setup to be a Sports Bar and Karaoke Bar.
Campbell institution that will soon close its doors (if it hasnt already). Dive bar that Ive frequented for over 30 years. It was usually my starting rendezvous point to an evening of bar hopping with friends. Well, it was good while it lasted.
Decent bar with lots of room inside, they also do occasional tap takeovers from Craft breweries. Staff is friendly, helpful, and knows how to make a good drink.
Great place to hangout with friends.the only issue is that there are too many wasted people but sec team often take care of them
Reasonably priced drinks, nice atmosphere. Karaoke night was occuring when I visited. The area around Khartoum was being renovated, which made it harder to see at night. Parking was a bit of a pain.
This place is quirky & fun, very diverse crowd with singing, drinking, photos fast service.
It was a decent place it was really busy last night metaa cute girl it was better than the first time I went there. That loud not just fat bartender chick wasnt there!
Pretty trashy, not a huge fan of the environment. Drinks arent very good. Ive been here twice and did not enjoy either experience. I most likely wont be going back again
Karaoke night on Wednesday! At least that I know of. People are tipsy already by 10pm dancing to a drunks singing. Kind of entertaining.
I was only in Campbell a week but tried about a dozen places. Best bar overall downtown. Good beer selection, cheap, cool atmosphere.
Fun place! Lots of people watching sports and having a good time. Bartenders are super friendly and nice.
I was the only advocate for this place and they proved me wrong. Horrible ownership. I expected more. Mull over this review when you stand in line ✌🏼
Good karaoke bar. My one, two and three complaint is the fact that the karaoke MC is a bit presumptuous and ill-advised. Makes me want to take my business elsewhere.
A surprising find for an official Packers bar. The back room is always filled at game time.
BRENT IS THE BEST BARTENDER EVER🤩
I went around 5:30 and I gotta say its a great place to relax and kickback after work. Lots of couches and plenty of drinks. No food though but there are plenty of places very close by that can help you out if need be.
Atmosphere is Fun the place is clean and the staff are wonderful love the old 90s alternative rock music that they play their and the drinks are absolutely amazing
Great stained glass art high above the bar and around the interior. Fun foosball and other games. Good happy hour prices.
This place is pretty cool. Honestly no complaints. Its dominantly Caucasian. Good karaoke good drinks. Check it out!
I got here every Wednesday for Karaoke. I have yet to have a bad time. Drinks are good and the staff are very friendly, with fast service.
Love the ambience. No craft cocktails. With that decor you would expect great drink selection. However it is average
Bar was packed and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I only had beer so I can speak on the cocktails but the beer selection was good.
Bouncer on Monday and Tuesday doesn’t accept real IDs call the cops in advance
Ive only been to San Jose once. But I can tell you I remember this bar and I remember my homie, Chris. Cant wait to come back.
Cool vibe, free happy hour food, excellent mixed drinks. Lots of leather sofas and easy chairs. Very comfy.
Pretty cool, good beer selection and drinks, back room is way better, one of the few places in campbell that is seemingly immune to the drunk jerseyshore bros
The rude white waiter said: yeah get the water and get the fuxk out of here around 11:50; 2022/6/17 Friday. will never go again.
The bouncer on Monday night wouldn’t stop staring at my tits….. management!?!?!? HE THEN OFFERED ME A GLASS OF MILk???
Always a fun place to go! Usually a popular and busy place amongst the area. I recommend a visit here!
Don’t know how the bouncer on mondays and Tuesday’s got the job... literally discriminated against my friend for being illiterate and wouldn’t let him in.
Amazing place to drink, relax, and have a good time. The bouncer even looked like Jax from Sons of Anarchy, loved it!
Good place to hang out with friends for a drink. Relaxed and chill setting and great for those that arent into dancing
Trivia night was bomb, visiting from Toronto, so this was pretty new and entertaining. Keep it up guys, loving the effort and hospitality.
Drunk bartender in the back bar and losing credit cards. Probably the worst bar experience I’ve had in long time.
The bouncer on Monday night called me a racial slur and made fun of me for my low reading comprehension. Do not go.
Always poppin, has 2 different bars inside with a bunch of couches. Also good music to dance to and has a dart board and a foosball table.
Good drinks, friendly bartenders, plenty of seating available. bring good company.
Sticky floors but good selection of drinks. Lots and lots of tvs, popular place for Sunday football.
Cool place for Karaoke. Laid back Wednesdays and more of a crowd on Thursdays 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Dark and oppressive. bartender is abrupt and unfriendly. They participated in the Waldos Beer Walk so they get a couple stars but only for that.
Went here recently on a Sunday night, had a drink, and played some darts. This bar gets really crowded on Friday and Saturday nights.
Solay is absolutely amazinf
Great bar, love the deco, game room and awsome friendly staff. Awesome vibe.
Great bar, great staff. Ive been missing the pub feel from back home, and this is the closest Ive found yet.
Great place for an easy drinking summer time beer.
Good bar, great staff, they even have a bunch of games to play.
They have free karaoke on Wednesday and Thursday. Cool drink specials and it’s pretty cool 50% of the time
Haley is AMAZING
Fun place and drinks good. Service just okie. Like to try once more 😄
Great Bar! Great Atmosphere 👍
Fantastic lounge-y experience. Also a Packers bar. Favorite Campbell watering hole.
Classic Campbell bar. Love it. Early in the night is good. Or even later as it gets a bit more fun.
Freindly staff, they let you bring in food since there is no kitchen. Very cozy atmosphere
Love this place! Karaoke with Davey K is the best. Always a great time.
Great atmosphere! Fair prices. Fun place to hang out.

Always a great time at this bar. Lots of different sections to sit in with couches.

Trivia nights are fun, if only it wasnt 10,000km away I would go more regularly
Nice casual lounge. Friendly bartenders attentive to your needs for reordering drinks.
Great classic bar look! Friendly staff!
This spot has such good vibes! Definitely recommend it!
Rude bartenders, expensive, closes at midnight, not worth your timeCool decor though
Fairly unique and interesting bar! Service was prompt and selectio is good!
Great post grad atmosphere. A little crowded on weekend nights but fun.
Always have a good time here. Drinks are priced decently.
Meh. Seemed like a place where all the kids from the suburbs go when they grow up.Not for me and nothing special.
Bartenders are always friendly! Very cozy place to go
This place is just amazing.
Brent is the best

Great service amazing bartenders Megan is such a sweetheart and an amazing bartender
Great chill bar with couches to hang out and a good juke box.
Crowded with a younger, kinda rude clientele at nighttime. There was a line when we arrived on a Saturday night
Music was little bit off to the interior and atmosphere but in overall nice place to hang out with guys for a pint of beer
My favorite bar in Campbell. Fun crowd and a mellow atmosphere.
Cool atmosphere and crowd. One of the better campbell bars
Loved the vibe at this place. Such a cool hangout on a weekend.
Great people there. Fun place. Lots of tv
Got a to go order. Staff was very helpful. Foid was excellent👍👍
Its fun if youre with a group. I wouldnt go by myself though.
Fun atmosphere and good prices drinks
It is a place to share a beer with your friends, if you are you a looking for dancing spot it is not the place.
Great little dive bar, good to see this place still here!
Way too loud, and they played Country Road 3 times in a row because some drunken fools were singing it badly!
Great place to hang out with friends or meet new ones!
Best bar hands down..My favorite place
