I was invited thinking it was like a strip club. Turns out its just a whorehouse. After being told what the deal was, I left. Def would not recommend. They throw private parties, but def illegal stuff going on. Never going. Dont require masks or take temps either. Disgusting shady hole in the wall
Isn’t it the first priority of any business to make sure it’s clientele are safe? Yet here we are reading stories of a covid-19 super spreader party in the middle of a pandemic. Dangerous, irresponsible and greedy. I hope the owners take a good long look at themselves. There is a very good chance that people will now die directly because of their actions.
Sunday was a total waste of gas, tolls, entrance fee. If i could go back to Sunday 7:01pm I would say honey find a nice restaurant and treat is on me. It was clean, friendly staff. But if only 3 couples and 3 single men come and its dead for HOURS........ Give ppl their $ back OR offer a discount on the next visit.
Weve been in the this life style for a few years and we just cant find good parties with a beautiful crowd in NYC. We usually travel for that but since we live in the neighborhood we decided to check it out by using our old strategy: standing outside in the car to see who goes in. We stayed for 1 hour and saw about 20 couples going in. And unfortunately we absolutely did not like anything we saw. Im not giving 1 star because we didnt go in. Believe me, we really really wanted to see different crowd.
I dont what this fool below me is talking about. Caligula is an amazing place! My man and I went there on a Saturday and we had a blast! The staff were accomodating and very hospitable. The manager was very welcoming and friendly (I think his name is Ray) and he made sure we got a cab on our way home. Its a mixed crowd and the age varies from 20s to 50 years old. And if you discriminate against older crowd, just remember that we all get old one day. Bartenders are amazing and friendly. The rooms upstairs are clean and the attendant was pleasant and constantly cleans the rooms. The only downside to it was the private rooms. I dont see the point of being private if were going to a swingers club. If privacy is an issue, then just stay home.They have shower upstairs which is a plus if u want to freshen up. Amazing music! DJ Malcolm! Thanks again for a great time and we would like to come back again!!!
The place is nice but $100 for single guys is just not far . You pay $100 and not guarantee to do anything or mangle. $50 should be far for single man , at least if u meet no one then you only lost 50 bucks.... lots of women and man agree with this. And it will bring more people to the place. I went two times and paid both times 100 and didnt like anything there. There goes 200 down the drain... Not cool
It was terrible, an absolute waste of 100 dollars. Initiated by my best friends birthday we went cause we used to go to Karma Sutra here in Philly which unfortunately is gone from South street now. It was a lovely freaky good time and the buffet spread was like a casino. Caligula was like going to a sleazy bar with a speak easy above it along with a cheese plate.
I like this place. Make sure you go on a Saturday when its couples only. The first time we went, we made the mistake and went on a Friday where single guys are allowed in.The club is set different then other clubs. Its 2 floors and the bottom floor is very much a club. DJ, lights, good music. Everyone is nice, and they seem to always have Hookah if thats your thing.Upstairs is smaller then other clubs. 2 Common Play areas and 2 private rooms. Other clubs like Bowery Bliss are much larger in that category.Its a mixed races of folks, and honestly mostly 25-45 year old with touches of older. Most everyone tends to be good looking, and it isnt rare to see incredibly good looking couples.If you want a good mix of a dance party and a sex party, this is it. Get there before 11:30 for the discounted admission and remember its BYOB.In the end, you make it your own party for sure. Most of the play(people going upstairs) usually doesnt start till after 12..It doesnt get a 5 for a few little reasons. But mainly just preference. I simply wished it had a larger Play area (2nd floor.) The folks who own/work there are generally super nice.
Ok, so I was looking for a high level, exclusive erotic club to take my boyfriend to for his birthday and I that is what this place advertised, so I thought all was good. Boy, was I mistaken. This place is ghetto, bootleg, trashy and whack as hell. Everything from the staff to the customers were tired and washed up. No pretty people, like what you might get in NYC. We paid $95 for me and my boyfriend and we stayed there less than 20 min. It was after midnight and nobody was even dancing, not one. The girls in the coat check were a bit on the hood side: sneakers, crop tops and cornrows and the ladies at the bar were loud and unclassy. He and I were turned off. The upstairs floor had bright lights on, fake leather couches and awful, ratchet ass porno. The mood was not set at all. Oh and, they were supposed to serve food, but really they just had an aluminum pan with some cold pasta, that looked like someone brought in leftovers from their house. Sadly, we will not be returning. Not ever! This was an epic fail, and the owners of this club really need to step it up and make some major changes or they will not retain customers or attract new ones. Sorry, not sorry.
I was a first timer that went to Caligula with my girlfriend wanting to experience a threesome with another woman. It was a Friday night. $60 to enter and byob. We started off at the bar entrance next to the dance floor and basically it looked like your normal dive bar which was fine. There was a small crowd made up of couples and single men, no single woman. What stuck out the most was the unattractiveness of the crowd. We’re a good looking couple...an 8 on a 1-10 scale...but the others were 4’s tops. Needless to say no threesome. But that didn’t stop us. After lots of drinking and dancing we made it up to the second floor to a large room made up of joined together beds and mattresses. Beds and sheets were clean and we crawled over to a corner and stripped down. There were two other couples about five feet away with both guys laid out getting a BJ. Three chairs off to the side with three staring creepy men just watching. But we didn’t care and just zoned out and put on a show...me and my hot GF just got into it and got wild as hell...69...different positions..we were soooooo turned on knowing we were being watched. So overall it turned out to be a memorable experience. We won’t come back here because of the low grade clientele of people but we’ll definitely be back to the sex club scene again...pretty cool.
I went to that place a week ago Sep 30th and I had an awful experience. It was supposed to be a masquerade night, but you could count with one hand the people that follow that. The worse part are the so call play rooms if they can be call like that, they are just a few rooms crowded with a lot of creepy people trying to see what the others are doing (voyeurs everywhere), no action at all. I really dont know why the play rooms arent restricted just for the ones who will have real action. I can believe that I drove almost an hour to go to spend my money in a place like that.
Was passing by the area with my boyfriend on 11/3 and to my curiosity went inAnd I love to party big timeFor the price honestly deff expected more.I Must have went on the wrong Friday nightTo badd no refund only thing good wasThe dj musicI’m disappointedAnd where were the girls?????And lastly I Didn’t even see any food
Horrible experience. Dont waste your time and Money. Unless you like to see young people like they left school and they were all joking and hanging around .. There are nothing interesting If you like to dance go any other club or restaurant. Im pretty sure anything is better than this..I dont give a 0 rating because it does not give me the option..
Great place. We have fun each time, in the couples room and 3 private rooms, & anything goes room.. Nice dance floor & DJing downstairs. Except the old short white guy upstairs, RICHIE, does not change the sheets after a couple has been on the bed. He closes the door, and folds up the clean sheets, not the dirty sheets on the bed. A bunch of us watched him several nights, and he does the same thing each time. We marked the sheets, & the same sheets stayed on the beds🤮; Very unsanitary, and prone to germs. Fridays & Saturdays the best. The cost $$ is STEEP though, even for couples. DO NOT GO ON A THURSDAY< . > WASTED MY $100. A BUNCH OF MEN THERE..
Excellent place, very friendly and polite people, the girl in the box very friendly told us the rules of the place, if you are an open-minded person, without prejudice for others! This place is really good, my partner told me how comfortable and safe he felt walking around the place, I know we will be back !!! An excellent adult life 👌

2021-07-27Ive been in the life style a long time now the last time I visited Caligula was back in 2013 and it was a pretty good club good crowd nice environment. I recently go back to there to introduce my new partner into the lifestyle and what a surprise this place is in ruins first of all $125 to get in a total ripoff, no security no age check no sanitation safety like hand sanitizer or so no hand soap in the bathrooms and I can keep going all day long. But just moving to the most important thing this place it used to bring up scale crowd but not any more there is no longer a dress code this was like walking into a regular local bar in lowest area of NY.

2021-07-12Great music and dancefloor was big. Liked private rooms but should have more single women and dress cod was too formal for type of club. Towels, boxers, lingerie and sneakers/boots should be a must with access to lockers and lock for storage.

2021-04-30The audacity of this establishment to continue to charge couples $100 for entrance, when it’s the couples (mainly the women) that make this party what it is. Also, with dishing out your $100, 8 times out of 10 you’re probably going to have a not so pleasant experience seeing how majority of the people that attend these parties here just want to be peeping toms. Save your money, have sex in your car at the local Target parking lot with the windows down if having peeping toms watch you all night is your thing. It’s $100 cheaper.

2018-09-08Visited last weekend with a friend. The DJ was amazing, the place was clean and very beautiful! One thing that caught the attention of my friend and i was how the attendant was really on top of changing the sheets once people were done playing. It smelled great in the rooms, bathrooms were clean, many towels readily available, and the shower was just calling my name!!! Lol the ambiance of the place is overall great. Unfortunately, it was a Sunday so we didn’t have high expectations of what the turn out would be like. There were maybe five couples total with a few single men trickling around. It wasn’t a busy night at all. I only saw two of the couples playing and the rest watched or remained downstairs enjoying the music. The crowd was a mix of ethnicities so that was another plus. Lots of parking available on the side of the building. As another stated, it would be nice to be refunded or receive a discount due to the slow night but we understand and took the risk of going to the event on that particular night. We are going to give the club another chance and hopefully we won’t be disappointed.

2019-07-29Went here this past weekend with my BF (July 2019). We arrived between 11:30 and midnight. The woman at the front was polite, professional and explained the rules to us. We went inside and the space was open with a bar and a dance floor. The music was blasting but only one couple was dancing , the rest were seated along the sides huddling together. We went upstairs which is supposed to be a play area. There were beds and more couples, but no one was doing anything and people mostly kept to themselves. There were private rooms that were in use, and after a couple was done we used it and then left shortly after. Overall went for an hour, hour and a half. It wasnt really interesting, but I guess it could be if more people were actually having sex. Also maybe we came on an off night, because it was pretty dead. Perks: The music was good and the people were nice.
