Excalibur
- Neighborhood: River North

Immediately to your left as you enter, you'll find a fully loaded bar, as well as a living-roomish area where patrons are encouraged to sit back and unwind. Directly in front of this area is the not-so-tame Cabaret, where house deejays encourage guests to compete in offbeat contests. Downstairs, in the land "Down Under," you'll find a log-cabin-like basement, complete with a restaurant and a host of pool tables, video games and plenty of table hockey.
If games and contests are not your flavor, bounce up to the club's third floor for Club X, where dancing to industrial and alternative music takes place Wednesday through Saturday nights. Thursdays are dedicated to salsa and Latin dance music.
