Camelot Showbar

As a strip club connoisseur I liked that we instantly got offered a place to sit !!! Thank you booty gods !!! Everything was a blast very high class but I had to give this place 3 stars bc our cocktail server gave us a miserable experience !!! Our ticket said Kari, it was a thicker girl who was superrrrrrr rude. Rushed us to pay our tabs like we would flee & only payed attention to the men in the building. Even when we would pay our tabs she would rush us to sign them. We were trying to enjoy the girls. She took forever to refill our drinks. Also be prepared for steep prices, $ 12 for a jack & coke loaded with ice in a cute glass with a handle that’s smaller then a rocks glass but we expected to pay a pretty penny it’s not our first time in a strip club. Btw we’ve been in the hospitality industry & are extraordinary tippers so our waitress chose the wrong ladies to be rude to. The last cocktail waitress we had made $ 350 off us we truly do appreciate good service. We were two of the few people actually tipping the strippers and they were very grateful & kept coming over and saying thank you & dancing in front of us. Take a visit here & cross your fingers for a better waitress.
UPDATE: after posting this review we left & as we were leaving a guy asked us why & we told him. I guess he worked for the club he was well dressed & led us back in sat us in a different section & bought us drinks. We had a very pleasant waitress who took good care of us & even helped us to shoooo away some thirsty guys who were über agressive trying to sit with us. I didn’t pay attention to her name but she was a gem & when we tipped her twice she came back & overly thanked us.
Sooooooo, maybe this place isn’t to bad & we just need to make sure to avoid Kari’s section.

Normally don’t write reviews, but be careful here. Pay cash only. Left my card there… they said they had it… I said I would pick it up the following day. Then found out they ran up over 6k of unwarranted charges before noon at over 15 places online. Unreal… shady humans.

I honestly think this is the cleanest and best managed gentleman’s clubs in the world! What I do not think people know us that they have the best food in DC. Also the best value in DC. New York Strip dinner with all the fixins is about 25 bucks. Love it!

Every other time I come here, they tell me I’m too drunk to come in. I rarely drink at all before going here, but I have MS and I sometimes stumble or drop things in my hands. I guess that makes me too «drunk» to go in, even if my friends vouch for me.
But every SINGLE time I come here, I regret it. Just stay home and watch porn, or go to another club.

This Gentleman Club is awesome they have really hot Bartenders And the dancers are super hot specially Thursday’s and Friday’s.

I don’t really like strip clubs in DC because of how strict the laws are. No lap dances? You literally feel like a kid in an ice cream store trapped in a glass box… but the girls here at Camelot look sooooo much better than I thought. And the place is clean, service is good. Non-​smoking atmosphere. Totally worth the visit! Lots of big boobs and firm bodies. Drinks are expensive, $ 9 millers, $ 13 for cocktails, but no cover charge. If lap dances were allowed I’d give it four stars.

Tell me why this place rejected five military members tonight. The bouncer reduced to check our military identification… saying they looked fake. One star only because people have great things to say about the place, guess I’ll never know. Shame.

When in there last night for a bachelorette party they were extremely very friendly and very nice they made sure friend had a good time at her bachelorette party definitely going there again for a bachelorette or Bachelor party

A true gentleman’s club. Not full of the dizzy a$$ «hoes» (lack of better words) or at least they don’t act like it. It’s a good clean spot. I’m not one for strip clubs but they really do have a good steak too! If you want to see pretty girls and enjoy yourself this is the place a suggest.

Camelot Showbar… classy establishment. lots of beautiful woman. Fun bartenders… the managers are attentiveare and pleasent. the food is great. I do enjoy the atmosphere. The music can get a little loud but my ears are pretty sensative. If you go order the steak… it’s amazing. Girls are hit. Did I mention Hot girls. 2 floors. I enjoyed both floors. Very classy and hot girls.

Camelot is the best gentleman’s club in the DC region. Some reviews indicate it is small and you don’t have certain options. Well, consider its location in midtown DC and that the club has to abide by DC laws. I encourage you to try it and form your own opinion.
The servers, dancers, security staff, and managers — on the whole — are very good and treat good customers very well. When they have a few moments, they engage in conversation with customers and they are entertaining to talk to. The variety and quality of dancers is very good.
Currently (May 2015), the place is undergoing renovations and so far, I think they are significant improvements. Note that there is no cover and yes, the beverage prices are more pricey than regular bars. That should be expected for an entertainment venue with no cover.

Slow service … Waitress was rude. She kept mean mugging me white girl with the blonde hair lucky she wasnt Mean mugging the wrong person. Girls come around asking for money waiting for money like girl dance do something .the strippers most of them we’re stiff dancing couldn’t even dance to hip hop really !! I came here to spend $ and I couldn’t find 1 stripper to throw dollars at even the guy next to me said last time he went was slow. The bathroom should be on both floors girl was in their taking number 2. Like 2 bathrooms is needed oh bring your own drinks next time because a small cheap glasss bottle was 13 dollars. Expensive, but the strippers was hot that’s why they only got 1 star

No cover.
no line at 10pm on sat night.
Beers were $ 8 each
No min drinks
Girls were all good looking minus 1.
Setup is awkward, but not as bad as other posts make it out to be.
Girls come to you for tips and flirt with you.

Most of the dancers did not coordinate to the hip hop music that was being played (they were very stiff & relied on the fact that the were naked). The server was the worst. I told her I wanted grand Marnier in my Cadillac margarita 4 times and she still brought me a «patron margarita» with no grand Marnier. Believe it or not my boyfriend placed a food order for a mixed grill and half an hour later no food and all she wanted to do was argue and not fix the problem. Ps, I tip her $ 10 initially on our $ 24 drink order that she messed up (but she still wants to argue about the $ 16 food order). Walked out and will never go back! !

This place is hands down the classiest and best gentleman’s Club in DC, I was out strip club hoping with some guy friends one night, I personally enjoy strip clubs I find them to be a lot of fun. We went to a verity of clubs in the city, all of previous were very small and not as nice on the inside compared to this one, (not sure about the old review saying this place only has one stage?) We were seated on the second floor, (The bigger floor) By a very large security guy (we nicknamed him Tiny LOL) The stage on the second floor where the girls danced was huge! With a verity of girls who were not afraid to show off there poll tricks. I did notice a lot of the girls here did have fake boobs, but they were of all shapes and sizes, I personally prefer the natural girls, all of them were in amazing shape! The bathrooms were well kept and Overall the club was Very clean and cozy with the seating, we had a booth/​table which gave our party enough space. There was no door cover, but they do have a dress code (which wasn’t to bad, Just don’t dress like a scrub) I spent a good amount of money on drinks but nothing out of the ordinary for DC nightlife. The waitress we had was even more attractive than most of the dancers, and considering this club has the most beautiful dancers I have seen so far in the DC area, that’s impressive!
WARNING:there is a strict NO LAP DANCES policy!? not sure why that is and that was disappointing but the law is the law, apparently this is a law throughout the whole city? The rules on touching are very strict too, you can only tip the girls in their garters, and the security is very quick to tell you if you’ve done something wrong (which is good for the employee’s)
The girls were friendly, Most all had a good attitude and a smile on there face, as most strip clubs, the table with the most money is the one the girls gravitate to, there were a couple of pretty ladies that sat with us briefly and had some surprisingly very intelligent and interesting conversations. They answered a lot of my questions about why DC is so hard on the strip club industry. This is a very classy, clean and well put together place, My friends and I had a great time and I didn’t feel uncomfortable or grimy at all when I was there.
The rules here were very strict, and the drink prices were above average as most strip clubs but you get what you pay for.

I was overcharged $ 60 and had the pleasure of dealing with Nick the manager for over 10 days trying to get a refund. Sketchy that I was overcharged and never told why and nick is a HUGE asshole. He started texting me about this, really professional. Watch your bank statements if you’re paying with a card because I’ve read several other reviews about the same problem.

Never again. You will spend an arm and a leg, but for what?
Tiny stage with no chairs, not enough room for the girls to dance, pole is only about 6 feet long so they can’t use it for anything either.
No touching, no lap dances, no socializing with the strippers. But they will circle the tiny room holding out their garter for you to give them money for not having done much.

Last Saturday night my friends and I left the 930 club around 1:30am and made our way to Camelot to meet up with some other friends so that we could spend the last hour or so of our night there since according to their website, their Saturday hours are 1pm — 3am. We arrived at 2 but were denied entrance. The bouncer at the door told us the the club was closed and that our party of 7 could not enter the venue. When I told him their business hours advertised on their website say they’re open until 3, he told us that no one is allowed in after 2. I looked at my watch and it was 2:03. Funny thing is we were actually there before 2, but were waiting on our friend to finish smoking his cig. We clearly had no way of knowing about this totally random policy.
I thought it was really strange that a business establishment didn’t want business during their hours of operation. I really didn’t care about seeing strippers strip, I was more annoyed that we left the show at 930 club early to go there only because they were open late… And they actually were… But weren’t at the same time. Granted, papadosio was playing a pretty weak show… Buttt we all would’ve obviously much preferred seeing music over nothing.
And to top it off the bouncers were exceptionally rude. Sorry buddy, but if you hadn’t noticed I have my own boobs and ass to look at. For free… Whenever I want. There was really no need for the lame played out «exclusivity» act. Totally over this place and will never return.

Not worth going. You may be denied entry for no reason under the guise of «having too much to drink». The management is bossy and inappropriate and clearly only has the fear of employees.
I saw other posts with the same comment here but I wanted to reiterate it with my own occurrence.
I went with some friends last night and we were greeted at the door by the manager coming out and looked over the crowd and asked how much we had to drink. I made the sarcastic comment of «not enough» which while a smart ass answer was apparently taken as «way too much» and we were denied entry. To be clear while we had ben out drinking we were not in any way drunk. The manager went on to say the head of the ABC and the DC Chief of Police was inside and we just weren’t in condition to go in.
After we were pulled out of line I hung back to wait for the the rest of the people in line to get through and to talk to the door man without a crowd.
I spoke to him to see what the deal was and he simply said that was the managers call and he couldn’t change anything. Which I told him was fair and I understood. I did ask if I could speak to the manager to find out what was going on. The doorman said that it was unlikely the manager would come back out and that he was sorry but there was nothing he could do. It was clear that were he to try he would get into trouble for simply responding to my request.
This is truly just not customer-​centric. And while I understand there needs to be some level of extra scrutiny for a strip club this was a complete random cracking of the whip. And it’s truly inappropriate to do that (though yes, it is at their discretion).
My girlfriend, who was with us, believes it was because she was there that we were not allowed entry. And if that is so it is gross discrimination.
Simply put, if you dare go here be aware you may not be allowed in for no good reason what so ever.

I wish I could give this place 0 stars.
My friends and I showed up there for a bachelor party and we are told we have to wait for a manager. The manager comes out and asks us how much we had to drink.
I say… «half a beer» (Since i’m the DD)
The bachelor says… «A beer»
NOTE: At the time nobody else was there yet.
Manager tells us… sorry you had to much to drink I can’t let you in.
WTF?
