Dress code

Dress as though the evening deserves it.

Formal evening wear is preferred. Smart casual is accepted. Here is what that means, why we ask, and what happens at the door.

The official GAZDA dress code card. Formal evening wear preferred: suits, blazers, evening dresses. Smart casual accepted: shirts, trousers, dress shoes. Welcome: tailored suits and blazers, dress shirts and fine knitwear, dress shoes, loafers and heels, evening dresses and skirts, watches and tasteful jewellery. Not permitted: tracksuits and sportswear, masks and face coverings, caps, beanies and hoods, flip-flops and slides, visible weapons. Management reserves the right to refuse entry.
The same card hangs at the lounge. If this page and the card ever differ, the card and the GAZDA team have the final word. Select the card to enlarge it.

Why we have a dress code

It is part of the evening.

GAZDA is a gentleman's lounge, not a bar you pass through. What people wear shapes how the room feels for everyone in it.

  • It sets the tone

    The way you arrive helps set the tone for the evening. A dressed room is a slower, more considered room.

  • It respects the room

    A good evening relies on good company and a welcoming atmosphere for everyone, guests and staff alike.

  • It keeps the room calm

    Visible faces and no visible weapons mean everyone can relax, talk openly and enjoy the night.

  • It makes the story

    Dressing for the occasion is part of the roleplay: a reason to make an entrance and let the night unfold.

At the door

The right to refuse entry.

Management reserves the right to refuse entry. Here is what that means in practice, so nobody is caught by surprise.

  1. 01

    What it covers

    Staff and management may decline entry to anyone who does not meet the dress code, or whose conduct does not suit the room. The same applies inside: a guest may be asked to leave.

  2. 02

    How it is handled

    Quietly and politely, at the door. Often it is a simple fix: take off the cap, put the weapon away, and you are welcome in.

  3. 03

    It is never personal

    The same standard applies to every guest, whoever they are and whoever they arrive with.

  4. 04

    If you have a question

    Speak to a member of staff on the night, or send an enquiry afterwards and the team will reply.
