Funky Buddha Dress Code: Funky Buddha Has Closed, Now Itzel

Funky Buddha has closed; Itzel now operates at its Berkeley Street address. The club at 15 Berkeley Street in Mayfair no longer trades as Funky Buddha, so there is no Funky Buddha door to dress for and no Funky Buddha table or guestlist to book. We book Itzel too, so ask us for its current door policy when you enquire. If you searched for the Funky Buddha dress code because you were planning a night there, this page explains what the standard was and which open Mayfair clubs expect the same.

Be wary of anyone still offering Funky Buddha tables or guestlist places: there is no Funky Buddha night to book.

What the Funky Buddha dress code was (history)

While it was open, Funky Buddha asked for smart and chic dress: heels for women on the guestlist, a collared shirt, smart trousers and leather shoes for men, and no sportswear, beachwear, shorts, ripped jeans or fancy dress. That was its standard while it traded, kept here for anyone comparing clubs. It is not a current door policy.

Where to go instead, with the same dress code

The clubs below are open, we book them every week, and an outfit that would have passed at Funky Buddha passes at all of them:

• Men: a collared shirt, smart trousers or dark, clean jeans without rips, and leather shoes or smart boots.
• Women: a dress, a tailored co-ord or a dressy top with smart trousers, with heels or evening boots. Women on a guestlist should expect heels to be required.
• Refused almost everywhere: sportswear, shorts, flip-flops and beachwear, caps, fancy dress, and hen or birthday accessories.
• The group counts. Doors judge the group as a whole, so one underdressed guest can hold everyone up.

Tape is the closest in music and crowd, with hip-hop, RnB and Afrobeats. London Reign is the big party room, a short walk from Berkeley Street, and Dear Darling is the nearest to Green Park. For the wider picture, our London club dress code guide covers what gets refused across the city.

Guestlist or table

On the guestlist, doors apply the dress code strictly, and heels are usually expected for women. Guests at a table get a little more flexibility, but the whole group still needs to look smart. If you are unsure about an outfit, send us a photo when you book and we will tell you whether it will pass.

Tell us the night and your group size through London nightclub bookings or get in touch, and we will confirm a table or guestlist place at the clubs above. The Funky Buddha page lists every alternative we suggest.
