Disappointed !!

by peoriaguy at Citysearch

First of all, separate $10 cover to get to the second floor club (Vision...something). Seriously, if you are in the same building..why would you want to pay twice. Anyways the 1st floor was bad music..so before deciding to leave the place, we thought of checking out the second floor where they were playing Trance. Music was good, but lighting was poor. Poor crowd, there was no dress code, some girls looked as if they stopped by after the gym..with track pants. Disappointing crowd..

Chicago can do better

• Pros: Trance Music
• Cons: Shady, cover charges. no dress code, no class,

Yuck

Yuck! Excalibur is a good club to go check out if you're an overweight frat boy from Napperville and you just got paid at your job parking cars and your mom let you borrow her van for the weekend so you go here to try and pick up some ugly secertary from Joliet.

Now that I got that out of my system - Excalibur is everything that is wrong with Chicago night clubs. Their cookie cutter approach to running a club is so cliche and typical that they are almost like a parody of themselves.

Its over priced, its boring, its crowded and its very pretentious. Avoid this club.

• Pros: Its not a chain
• Cons: Everything

horrible service and rip off on bottle service

by blank101 at Citysearch

i was just at this place on nov 7th and i had been working with a party planner named kathern for a month planning on RSVPing a bottle service party for a huge birthday bash i was throwing for all november birthdays and as a surpise birthday party for my boyfriend. we had agreed on 2 bottles of $250 which i was told would eliminate the admition cost for our party and that we would have our own ropped off area. i had emails on this agreement and the night of our party we arrive on ( we were using ANYTIME limo). we get there and katherin meets us outside and tells me that we have to pay cover for our VIP party and that we also have to pay 300 for bottles later also telling me that it was acually 400 per bottle bc it was the first friday of the month! NUTS! refusal to all this we request to speak with a manager who doesnt show up for over an hour and our ropped off section was being shared with the public. after arguing for hours we finally recieve our bottle service at 250 priced and didnt recieve our bottles til 12:30/ 1:00 A.M! and we had been there since 10:30. i mean horrible service. not a professional staff of managers and and the party of 35 that came with were being thrown back n forth to whether we were even going to stay. i mean is this how you want to enjoy your night?

• Pros: none
• Cons: managers unprofessional, place looked unkept, horrible sound system
