It's a very beautiful place. The exterior of the building is super cool, the interior is cozy with its large lounge area. I used to club a lot in Europe so I have a bit of experience in the field:)...Excalibur, even if it's got what it takes, is not IT. The bar scene there is very nice though the drinks are quite expensive, it's alright. Later on HOLD ON the chair because the crowd comes in. that's what made my experience really bad there. The people are extremely ugly and trashy and they are all tourists. I was there with a guy friend and even though he wasn't my boyfriend, it didn't matter for many...people coming at you left and right...from the second you enter the door after a cigarette break they act like vultures! It doesn't resonate to them that no means no. It took me 2 hours to get some Israeli guy off of me even though I told him he can get lost and he's not getting any so he's pretty much wasting his time. My pushing him off didn't seem to faze him. When I started dancing(alone) I couldn't. Men come at you left and right. It's fun if you're there to get drunk and have a one night stand but if you're not into that and you don't feel like a stranger jumping at you and kissing you, don't go there! At least grab a semi decent guy to pretend he's the boyfriend. Mine failed on that lol.
After I left the club I went to grab my car but stopped to get something to eat a block away from Excalibur. Turns out one Greek guy followed me there from the club and tries to hit on me in the freaking omelet place.
This club Excalibur is so trashy and people are so desperate to get some meat it's ridiculous. If you dance and have a good time with someone men think you want to have secs with them. Ladies be careful, don't get too drunk unless you're out for getting a disease. The music was alright(it was good because it was played loud so that's always fun and they have TVs around playing music videos which is also neat), the place itself is alright, very Europeanish feel and the bartender was nice. The crowd and nasty people that hang around there ruined what was supposed to be a great night for me. Perhaps it would have been ok if I would have been after one night stands with whomever but i wasn't and possibly someone will have a good experience if they go there accompanied by a partner. Going solo or with a friend is a BAD idea.
I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I had a much more fun night and much better music and crowd at Hunt Club on Rush street. The entrance is free, the dance floor is smaller but the music is good, the place is dark and the crowd is great. If you're a single gal, you'll find much more attractive decent but fun guys there instead.
Pros: The lounge area, interior and exterior look(architecture)
Cons: the people
