Ahhh what happened to The Excelsior?

Bitter sweet, rocking up to Elle's birthday fiesta and realizing yet another one of Sydney's few live music venues has shut down. Farewell The Excelsior!
The dindgy live music pub has been stripped back to its core, spray painted and decorated in DIY fashion to create a chilled Mexican cantina, El Loco. 
The promise of $5 taco's did get me over the initial unwelcome surprise. 
The special chorizo and halloumi taco was well impressive i must say.
After downing a few beers throughout the afternoon we stepped it up to cocktail time. Which in retrospect wasn't a grand idea. The classic margarita was a struggle to get through without a cringe, would definitely recommend the pink cuco over it.
A great place for a drink, as always good company makes it. The staff aren't as chilled as the atmosphere, beware if your going with a rowdy crowd. 
ARIIIBAAAAA!
