Description
Tonteria, London is a Mad Mexican Presses Bar, a Square Salon, and a Tequila Nightspot. Tonteria Club is famous for its fun sharing-cocktails i.e. “Maya Pyramid”, “Lucky Luchador” and “Tequila Slammer”, which are inspired by Mexico’s heritage and culture. As the lights dim, Tonteria turns
into a fun nightspot for Sloane Rangers and other well-heeled Londoners. The venue is located outside the tube station, making it easy to find.
As you walk in you get the feeling you are in a nice little hacienda in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico. The décor is perfectly themed and amazing fun, and what is more, Tonteria Club London has one of the broadest and highest quality tequila selections in the world.
Another unique feature is their delicious sharing cocktails. If you want to experience an amazing cocktail and share it with your friends, just order from their sharing menu! Not only that, but in the traditional Spanish spirit you can enjoy delicious tapas dishes in the calm, relaxed booths. And if you want entertainment? Well, there are plenty of “tonterías”! Tonteria Sloane Square is known for its amazing performances and live shows, where traditional Mexican wrestlers fight all around the club. The early evening, starting from 5.30, focuses on theatrics, wrestling, performers,
and tame fun. They even have a toy train which brings drinks right to your table.
But although it is more of a relaxed place to stop for drinks and snacks until 10.30, from around 10pm they transition into a stunning nightclub. The evening moves seamlessly into the night as the DJ turns up the music, bringing all the latest beats and changing to atmosphere into pure fun. You can choose to stay in your booth drinking and enjoying watching the party, or you can start dancing
and mingling.
Naturally this combination of unique features brings out the local celebrities. Tonteria Club London has seen the likes of Jessie J, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, and even princes William and Harry. In short, Tonteria is the sort of place where you can expect to run into the rich and famous of
London. If you want a truly exclusive treatment you need to focus on Mondays and Thursdays, where only members of their super exclusive guest list.

Description
A world of theatrical dining in Soho, where there is no edge to the stage. Great Windmill Street took its name from a Windmill that once stood there in the 18th century. In 1909 the site became one of the first cinemas in London named ‘Palais De Luxe’. The Windmill brings a new definition to immersive theatre. This is ‘dinner and a show’ for the here-and-now. Once a 320-seater theatre that hosted nude tableaux vivants and the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles, The Windmill was famously kept open throughout the Second World War by original proprietor Laura Henderson. The venue closed temporarily in 2018 and was reborn as The Windmill Soho, the venue opened its famous doors once again in July 2021. The 350-capacity venue features a main stage surrounded by a ground-floor dining area and overlooked by an upstairs bar that serves bespoke cocktails and food courtesy of their executive chef. You can book a theatrical dining experience, showcasing mesmerizing never-seen-before performances alongside an immersive dining menu designed by Michelin-starred Chef Andrew Mcleish and a creative cocktail list by celebrated mixologist Andy Mil. It’s dining in Soho as you’ve never seen it before.
The Show is curated exclusively for The Windmill. Featuring a variety of burlesque, magic, circus, comedy, and song. Along with spectacular immersive and digital theatre, you have to see it, to believe it! After the show, the lights dim down and the music turns up. There is no strict theme to the food at the main restaurant. Instead, familiar favourites with a good hit of luxury seem to be the order of the day. Lavish sashimi platters sit alongside indulgent offerings like Atilius Oscietra Caviar and fresh ceviche. Other combinations from the chef include tuna and black sesame tacos, truffle Parmesan taglioni, and crab spaghetti. Elsewhere there is whole grilled Dover sole, Wagyu beef sliders, and a roast rack of lamb to choose between. The dessert menu comes with a playful twist and offers up treats like white chocolate and vanilla lollipops with popping candy, proving sweet shop tricks aren’t just for the kids.
The cocktail list is themed around the history of the building and drinks feature extravagant garnishes and ingredients. Aside from the food and drinks, the main space is obviously a huge draw here, and guests are treated to interiors decked out in deep purples, blues and reds. You can expect art deco-inspired touches as well as the use of high-end materials like gilding and velvet fabrics for a nod to a bygone era.
Set across three floors the newly revamped venue will feature The Theatre, which will act as the main restaurant, The Palais De Luxe, a grand upstairs bar, and The Royal Box, a sumptuous private room. Outside, of course, The Windmill’s recognizable neon sign will continue to tower over the street.
In regards to the dress code, we ask that guests are smartly dressed in no sportswear or hoodies. They do not allow fancy dress! Casual wear is best!

At Tabu club London, you’ll feel transported to a far away continent and a completely unique world making your experience unforgettable. On entering the club, you’ll see neon Tabu logos lighting up the staircases as you go down to each level. There are neon street signs that hang from the walls and ceilings complementing the back street vibe. The walls of the venue are featured with an 8-bit design and a retro gaming theme with interactive LED imagery. Another unique feature is the bathrooms which are decked out in black and white Manga cartoons. Once on the main club floor, you’ll see metal caged areas behind which dancers perform. There is graffiti sprawled across the walls bearing the word Tabu as well as other artistic displays. There are newspaper and magazine cuttings on the pillars to truly make you feel like you’re hanging out in the back alleys.
The club is expected to be one of the best destinations to drink and party with its game-changing atmosphere. The overall theme followed at Tabu London is all about playing and having fun. As you enter the club, live entertaining music is expected and a joyful mood is prominent in the club.

Description
As London’s first showclub it offers an unforgettable experience. It is the talk of London for all its amazing attributes. The interiors are stunning. If you want to feel like you are in Las Vegas, this is the place to be. Bright lights, glamour, and showtime décor all come together to make you feel like a celebrity being treated to a private burlesque experience. Want to dine among pyro cannons, jellyfish tanks, flying acrobatics and confetti? There is nowhere else in London that will offer you this experience. There is nothing less than wow factor everywhere you look in Reign Club. Piccadilly has never hosted anything quite like it.
The dazzling performances are a must for all adrenaline-junkies and lovers of the eccentric. All their shows are customized on a weekly basis, so you will never know just what to expect from their original and innovative acts. It is truly a sight for people who want something new and interesting to talk about for weeks to come, and Reign Club will keep you coming back again and again.
The London Reign Showclub features all sorts of circus-style performances, traditional musical acts and DJs, as well as some true daredevil stunts that will leave you astonished and really impress any guests you bring for the night. All with the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas. The acts take place on two different levels, with DJs pumping amazing music. Despite the Vegas look, there will be no traditional cabaret music. Instead, enjoy amazing house and electronic music, bringing an edgy modern twist to the show you will be relishing.
Reign has been given an animated design with all the bells and whistles including total venue capacity of about 430, integrated FUNKTION 1 sound system, function-able lighting system and Teppanyaki bar. You will feel truly pampered in the middle of all this five star treatment. Another unique feature of the club is food selection; club offers catnap, bowl food etc.
A table booking is recommended if you want to feel like a true celebrity. Otherwise you might not even get in, as it is an incredibly popular venue and spaces are very limited. Getting on the guest list will be difficult due to limited spaces and a very high demand. So if you want to ensure that you are the star of the night, you might want to talk about reserving the entire club in Piccadilly.
The Reign Dress Code is sexy, elegant and high heels for the ladies and smart casual and smart shoes for the gentlemen. Do not wear sportswear, or anything scruffy or casual. If you look too underdressed you will not be allowed in, as they have a certain quality to maintain. They have a right to refuse entry if you break the rules, whether you booked or not.
THE DRESS CODE AT REIGN SHOWCLUB
Dress codes can be confusing, so let us help you with our detailed, visual guides!
What is recommended:
The recommended look is the best one not just to get you in, but to make you feel at home.
As the name suggests, Reign Showclub’s mood is pure royalty. Black tie, maybe black tie optional at the most casual. That means that most men will be in tuxedos or three piece suits, and most women will be in classic red carpet gowns, or at the very least their little black dresses. Men’s hair should be combed and slicked or sprayed if mid-length and tied back if long. Women’s hair can be down, but make sure to use plenty of clips and hair spray to keep your look neat, or else to go for an updo instead.
What is allowed:
The allowed clothes are the full range of what will get you through the door.
Black tie for men includes:
-tuxedo
-three piece suit
-bow tie
-straight tie (in black or other muted colours)
-collared, buttoned, starched shirt (in white)
-shined black shoes in leather (or faux leather)
-jewellery limited to watches, wedding rings, and cufflinks
Black tie for women includes:
-evening gown
-red carpet gown
-dress suit
-little black dress or little blue dress
-smart heels, 2″-6″ high
-shiny leather (or faux leather) smart kitten heels
-fine and sparkly jewellery
What is a grey area:
The grey area are clothes that might be allowed some days/events and not others, or that are at the discretion of door staff. In short, if you happen to be in the area, wearing these clothes and want to check the club out, then maybe see if you can. You might get lucky. But if you are actually planning a night here? Avoid these and go for something closer to the dress code.
Here the general mood is insanely upscale and classy, so the main grey area is smart casual. Officially, smart casual is the minimum you should aspire for when trying to get into Reign Showclub. In reality, if most people at the venue are wearing tuxedos and three piece suits, you might not be let in wearing a two piece business suit. So don’t count on the night being more relaxed, cause you could show up underdressed. Make sure to put in as much effort as you can.
What is forbidden:
These clothes will get you turned away at the door, even if you are on the guest list, have a table with bottle service reserved, and it’s your birthday. Sorry.
At Reign Showclub their banned items list is pretty long, and if they turn you away, even if you go back and change, the staff might still not let you in that night. They have a very exclusive, elegant image to maintain. So make sure to avoid all these clothes if you want to get in.
No streetwear. Nothing you could consider casual in any sense.
No sportswear. No active sportswear, no fashion sportswear. Especially no trainers, t-shirts, etc.
No alternative fashion. Gothic, punk, decora, etc, looks are not compatible with black tie or black tie optional. A colour theme such as “black and red” or “pastels” is fine, within reason, but over the top accessories will get you turned away.
No women’s flats. If you cannot wear heels, choose some nice leather, slightly masculine kitten heels for a polished look.
No women’s suits. Suit dresses are as far as you can go. No skirt suits and definitely no pant suits.
No distressed look clothes. Just no. Nothing torn, worn, faded, painted, etc.
No jeans. This falls under streetwear but it is important to note that not even smart looking black jeans are acceptable.
No leather. Except for shoes, steer clear of leather. No leather jackets, trousers, dresses, etc.
No bright suits. Men’s suits must be in black or at least very dark blue or grey. Women’s suit dresses can be in black, grey, or any deep jewel tone like Prussian blue, emerald, or burgundy.
No men’s jewellery. Watches, cufflinks, and wedding rings aside, assume no men’s jewellery is allowed. Not even piercings.
No bulky coats or bags indoors. Take them off before entering the venue and check them into the cloakroom.
No hats indoors. Again, check them in at the cloakroom.

Description
MNKY HSE, pronounced Monkey House, is a revolutionary restaurant, cocktail bar and event space in Mayfair. It lies behind a discreet entrance at Dover street and is home to a Latin American bar and restaurant like no other, being where the typical London West End party crowd spends the weekend. The concept inspiring the new Mayfair’s venue is bringing in the cultural spirit of Latin America but giving it a funk ‘British twist’. With a focus on sensory lighting and accessories Mnky Hse acts as the HSE’s living room, the perfect place to spend the evening socializing. It offers the perfect place to spend your evening with dim lighting, low-seating and stylish accessories. The atmosphere creates a sexual, edgy glow to the room with award winning mixologists on hand to conjure you up the right cocktail be it classical or experimental to fit your evening.
MNKY HSE is set on two floors with slightly different vibe. In fact, you access the venue through a famous discreet entrance. On the ground floor (the upstairs) you will find the luxurious bar and lounge area. The design is modern, sleek, intimate with lots of mirrors. Opposite, on the lower level (the downstairs) you will find the Lain-American restaurant. This is set as an open plan kitchen where master chef is Pablo Peñalosa Nájera. Pablo has fused together traditional elements of Latin American cooking with seasonal, British style ingredients.
Late in the night, the restaurant turns into a dancing space thanks to a special set up with removable long tables (which encourage communal eating), table hopping, and also adjustable seating. It’s a new concept of an amazing restaurant that gradually turns into a happening club as the DJ gradually steps up the music. We like to call it a clubstaurant. A very new popular concept that removes the need to change venue after dinner. There is a bar at ground floor with great cocktails but this place is all about the downstairs where the fun is. You need to be very #clubbable to get in. The glamorous bar sets itself with the restaurant just next door making it the perfect place for after dinner drinks or to dance the way into early hours of the morning. Bar manager, Javier Ecribano makes sure that all his Mnky Hse cocktails are presented with a South-American twist even with the menu having its own Pisco and Mezcal sections. If you’re looking for something easy to drink, the Jasmine Pisco-Sour slides down with a nice texture and comes served with love-heart embellished foam and a marshmallow. The house special Mnky Business is a known favorite based on an old fashion but using Peruvian-Rum. Definitely one to warm the insides but not in the way you think as its plunged into a -80 degrees pot, infused with smoke and poured over carved ice to be served in a Erlenmeyer flask.
If you want to make sure you get into Mnky Hse, dress to impress and never turn up in trainers or casual clothes.
We consider MNKY HSE one of the best bars to spend the weekend if you do not want to get too crazy with a proper nightclub. It is in fact the perfect place to meet and actually talk with gorgeous and wealthy people. With the laid-back ambient house music and the drinks list with a taste for everyone, Mnky Hse offers you the full experience of drinks , dinner and escapism all under the same roof.

Description
Revelry and opulence are blended in this wild environment, where you will feel transported to the middle of a celebrity home, or a movie set. The bright neon lights, the high class furnishings, the pricey yet definitely worthwhile drinks, and the beautiful people all around you bring genuine class. And when the drinks are flowing and the music is pumping, you will feel like a Roman emperor, enjoying a truly decadent night out with all that the modern world has to offer.
Reserving a table is a definite must. You will enjoy an extensive list of premium spirits and champagne to keep your palate satisfied all night long. The food is absolutely fantastic as well, a rare treat among a nightclubs in London. You don’t want to miss this, as the atmosphere combined with the food and cocktails is all part of a successful night out at Maddox.
With a bold stage for live music, several dance floor areas, and a DJ booth, Maddox Club London has a little something for everyone. Resident DJs Aik and Klipsters will open your weekend on the main dance floor, pumping out top notch music that will accompany your dinner and the first dances of the night, easing you into the party like nothing else. As the night goes on some of the world’s top DJs will take over, and the music will keep blasting all night long.
Being one of the most popular celebrity clubs in London, Maddox has seen countless famous faces grace its VIP rooms. This is a venue where you could meet Beyoncé and Jay Z, Paris Hilton, Gwyneth Paltrow, or even a whole range of famous sports stars or political figures. Of course, you would need to be in the VIP area to see these celebrities up close, or perhaps meet them, but that’s hardly a bad thing. The VIP tables and bottle service are absolutely amazing, and will be well worth your night even if you’re the most famous person in the room.
Even if you do not reserve a table for the night, remember that the Maddox Club is a strictly members only venue, so be on the guest list or you’re going home. This level of exclusivity may not sit well with some people, but it is really necessary to keep the energy up and the atmosphere high quality. If you want to get into a club where celebrities have been seen for the last ten years, then you need to be a certain calibre of person. Depending on who you are, ladies can even be allowed in for free, or offered free drinks. There are different lines for invited guests, and girls can sometimes enjoy surprise perks depending on the night. Because of its reliable guest list and table booking service, Maddox is the perfect place to be keeping energy high and music great.
Maddox London keeps open late into the night, unlike some younger clubs that may want to close earlier. If you are a night owl, this is a perfect place for you. You don’t have to go home just as the party is getting started, rather, you can stay most of the night, among like-minded, fun-seeking people.
THE DRESS CODE AT MADDOX
Dress codes can be confusing, so let us help you with our detailed, visual guides!
What is recommended:
The recommended look is the best one not just to get you in, but to make you feel at home. For men, this generally means anything from a tuxedo to black jeans and a button down shirt, but no less formal. For women, this generally means cocktail dresses. Make up should be natural and classy. What is allowed:
The allowed clothes are the full range of what will get you through the door. For men, feel free to get creative with them
-collared shirts in sharp, bright colours like white or jewel tones
-sweaters
-sports jackets
-black polished leather (or faux leather) shoes. For women the dress code includes:
-cocktail dresses
-little black dresses (little blue dresses if black isn’t your colour) -smart dresses
-suit dresses
-two piece outfits
-high heeled shoes -fine jewellery. What is a grey area:
The grey area are clothes that might be allowed some days/events and not others, or that are at the discretion of door staff. In short, if you happen to be in the area, wearing these clothes and want to check the club out, then maybe see if you can. You might get lucky. But if you are actually planning a night here? Avoid these and go for something closer to the dress code. Women’s flats is a grey area. Generally they will not be allowed. Exceptions may be made sometimes, but you really can’t count on it.
Polo shirts are a grey area. Sometimes they are allowed for less formal nights, but, again you can’t rely on this. It is far better to choose a white button down shirt.
Black jeans are a grey area. In theory they are allowed under the current dress code, but in reality the staff might think you are underdressed. So, when in doubt, go for smart suit trousers instead.
What is forbidden:
These clothes will get you turned away at the door, even if you are on the guest list, have a table with bottle service reserved, and it’s your birthday. Sorry.
No t-shirts. Absolutely none.
No casual shoes. No trainers, converses, boots, flip flops, etc. Stick to the recommended shoes above.
No blue or otherwise colourful jeans or trousers. Even if black jeans are a grey area, every other type of trouser is completely out of the question. Only black trousers, preferably suit ones.
No sportswear. No tracksuits, running shoes, sports jerseys, football shirts, etc. Not even fashion statement pieces.
No light, loose fitting, or oversized clothes. Sagging trousers, oversized shirts, t-shirt dresses, baggy jumpers, or anything or the likes are allowed. Again, stick to the list above.
No heavy coats, large bags, or hats indoors. You might need a warm winter coat, a hat, or a big practical bag for travelling round London. But make sure to take them off and check them into the cloakroom when you arrive.

Description
What should we expect from a Paris nightclub named after a famous Russian lover and rebel? The Raspoutine in Paris is not too different to the ones in Rome, Marrakech, and Monaco
The venue is pure extravagance. If it were not for the one theme of the colour red holding the decor together, you could accuse it of being totally over the top. The glowing red lanterns, chandeliers, and ceiling lights provide a luxurious fiery lighting for the intricately detailed carpets and heavy red curtains. The dark wooden furnishings and red upholstery also reflects the light wonderfully, and the overall feel is of a club that is made for VIPs only.
Choose between open booth seating, smaller corner booths, and intimate tables for two or for parties, depending on whether you want to be part of the main party, or just a casual observer enjoying the show. Reservations are definitely recommended, but there is enough seating that you might be able to get a table on the day if you just show up.
For an incredibly memorable night, definitely stop by early-ish, around twelve. Like most French nightclubs, the Raspoutine Paris starts a bit before midnight and doesn’t close until the early hours of the morning. Which means that the softer music and mingling will be happening around the time when many English or American clubs are getting into party mode. But rest assured, as the night rolls on the beats get stronger and the crowd gets more pumped.
The music is pretty loud and you may not be able to hear yourself think after one or two, much less hold a conversation. But who is at a club for a chat about philosophy? This Paris nightclub specializes in hip hop and RnB music, very danceable and very fun for a great night out.
Expect to see some of the sexiest people in Paris here. The sexy decor and the great music attracts many Parisian celebrities, including models and artists. During Fashion Week especially you can expect to see models and designers just chilling out, having a drink, and relaxing in the comfortable lounge. Being this close to such famous and beautiful people is not exactly a rarity at this Paris club!
Because of the crowd it attracts, it can be hard to get in even if you are dressed impeccably and looking incredibly hot. You therefore need to reserve a table or even bottle service to make sure that you have a place. Otherwise you can expect to queue for hours and maybe not even get in.
Once inside the servers are very attentive and will make sure that your every need is met. They will give you the full VIP experience you deserve, from bottle service, to caring for your bags for you. You should have a personal server who will stay with you for most of the night, topping up drinks, making sure you are feeling well and generally having a good time.

Description
Inside it is absolutely stunning. Smooth and modern, with an amazing burlesque twist. It was put together by none other then Built, Inc., one of the best club designers in LA. The bar and lounge feature gold-veined mirrors, banquette seating, diamond motifs, and a beautiful marble dance floor which reflects the retro mirror ball and the state of the art lighting. It truly embodies the revival of retro and burlesque fashion.
If you’re looking for a nightclub with a show in LA, look no further than Bootsy Bellows’s dancers, decked out like old school Vegas showgirls in feather boas and headpieces, dancing delightfully on the carefully placed stage. What is more, in a quirky twist the retro nightclub features puppeteers who walk around the guests with puppets of modern and well-known celebrities, doing amazingly entertaining impersonations. And if you want to hit a club for random, unannounced celebrity performances this is the place. Trust David Arquette to pull the strings to get Jason Derulo on stage without making a fuss! Bear in mind that all of this amazing entertainment comes with a 3% entertainment service charge.
If you need some old style cocktails and fine wines served by hostesses in kitty ears, this is the place to be. The prices are exactly what you would expect for this corner of Hollywood, but then again, so are the names. Expect some of the finest wines of any high class nightclub in LA. If you are entertaining a party you will want to invest in a bottle package, covering enough servings for everyone. The food selection offers reasonably priced snacks. There aren’t many options, but there is more than enough if you are feeling peckish after a few hours of socializing and enjoying the show.
The music is expertly handled by William Lifestyle and Brody Jenner, who bring modern tunes to suit the retro show. This is not really much of a club for dancing, as the showgirls will truly put you to shame, but the music reflects that and you will enjoy sitting, talking, and watching the experts do their thing.
As you should expect from a nightclub started by David Arquette, the venue is always brimming with celebrities. Kate Beckinsale, Justin Bieber, Jason Derulo and Marlon Wayans have all been spotted in the Bootsy Bellows in LA. So expect to be turned away unless you are on the guest list or have made a reservation for a table and bottle service in advance.
