Tabu Nightclub London: What to Expect? Dress Code? Music?

Tabu nightclub London can be found at 1 Dover Street, within walking distance of The Arts Club and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, where Mahiki Mayfair once stood. In its glorious days, Mahiki attracted some of the trendiest people and was very exclusive. Tabu London had big shoes to fill, but they more than pulled it off. If you haven’t been and you’re wondering what is Tabu London like, here is everything you need to know.

Is Tabu Nightclub Good?

The first thing you’ll notice about Tabu nightclub London upon entering is that there are two floors. Both floors are underground; the first one has a lounge vibe with a modern Japanese, fresh pink look and goes by the name Yuki by Tabu.

The lowest ground is a sharp contrast and looks more like the famous ‘Piss Alley’ in Tokyo or the well-known Shinjuku district. The walls are patterned with neon signs, some straight from Japan, and other street alley antics. As the night goes on, you genuinely feel like you’re at an underground exclusive party in a busy Japanese city.

What Type of Music is Tabu Nightclub London?

The upper floor, Yuki by Tabu, features house music playing throughout the night and has more of a lounge vibe than a nightclub. There’s sushi and Japanese-inspired cocktails like Tokyo Floss and Yuki Margarita. It’s a great place to start your night out, catch up with friends, and have a few drinks before continuing the party downstairs, elsewhere, or calling it a night.

Downstairs at Tabu nightclub is a more intense, authentic nightclub experience with hip-hop, R&B, and the latest hits playing. Expect to see wild bottle shows, dancers, and a live MC. Costumes and shows are thoughtfully put together, matching the Japanese theme that Tabu London boasts so well.

What is the Tabu Nightclub London Dresscode?

Dress to impress. You’re heading out to one of London’s exclusive Mayfair nightclubs. For ladies, it’s best to wear a stylish dress or a well-put-together outfit that is stylish, glamorous, and fun. Avoid athletic clothing or anything overly revealing. Hats, hoodies, and running shoes are a no-no. Keep in mind, heels are mandatory so be sure to wear some nice heels or elegant evening boots with heels.

Gents, aim for smart casual attire. You don’t have to wear a suit, but some effort is needed. For example, an elegant shirt paired with darker-coloured trousers. Opt for smart shoes; avoid white trainers.
