Birthday Groups

Your birthday should feel like an event. These clubs turn a night out into a celebration with production value, VIP treatment, and crowds that match the occasion.

The performers, the spectacle, the sheer chaos: Cirque turns any birthday into the most memorable night of the year. The entertainment is built into the experience, so you do not need to organise anything. Just book and show up.

Guestlist vs Tables for Groups

Tables strongly recommended for birthdays. The venue can arrange birthday extras: sparklers, personalised bottle presentations, and announcements. Guestlist works on Wednesdays for smaller birthday groups.

Approximate Group Cost

Table from £800 min spend (6 to 8 guests). On the guestlist, the entry charge varies based on the night and availability: it can sometimes be complimentary and is often around £20, but it can be more depending on the night or event. Guestlist gets access to a shared host table where drinks are available.

Best night: Saturday for the full production. Wednesday for a more intimate celebration.Full guide →Book Cirque Le Soir

Aerial acrobats, live singers, and Las Vegas-level production value. Reign makes the birthday person feel like a VIP without trying. The multi-level venue means your group can spread out while staying together. Perfect for groups that want a show with their celebration.

Guestlist vs Tables for Groups

Tables are the way to do birthdays here. Reign offers excellent birthday packages with personalised touches. The production value at your table makes the minimum spend feel worth it.

Approximate Group Cost

Table from £800 min spend (6 to 8 guests). Birthday packages available: ask when booking.

Best night: Saturday for peak energy. Friday for a slightly more relaxed celebration.Full guide →Book Reign London

Work Nights Out

The corporate night out needs a venue that is impressive enough to feel like a treat but accessible enough that everyone has a good time. No overly exclusive doors. No intimidating dress codes. Just quality venues where colleagues can actually enjoy themselves.

99 Regent Street (formerly Cuckoo Club) gives a work night two floors under one roof, two minutes from Piccadilly Circus: open-format hip hop and RnB in the main room upstairs, house downstairs, with both floors running on Friday and Saturday. For a bigger team, private events and corporate hire are arranged through us.

Guestlist vs Tables for Groups

Guestlist is by request and mixed groups are welcome. A table from £600 minimum spend, spent on drinks, covers entry for the whole group, and VIP and larger tables are on request. Brief the team before the night: the dress code is elegant and enforced, and everyone needs physical photo ID for the 19+ door.

Approximate Group Cost

Tables from £600 min spend, covering entry for the group. Guestlist entry from free to about £50, depending on the night and arrival time. Private hire terms on request.

Best night: Friday or Saturday for both floors. Wednesday and Thursday open one floor.Full guide →Book 99 Regent Street

Start with dinner upstairs at the Italian restaurant, then move downstairs to the club. The transition is seamless and it gives the night a natural structure. Colleagues who are not hardcore clubbers appreciate the dinner element. The house music downstairs is sophisticated enough for everyone.

Guestlist vs Tables for Groups

Book dinner and club as a package for the best value. The restaurant accommodates groups well and the transition to the club feels natural. Tables downstairs available if you want to extend the VIP experience.

Approximate Group Cost

Dinner ~£60 to £80pp plus club entry. Club tables from ~£1,000 min spend. Dinner-to-dance packages offer better value.

Best night: Thursday or Friday. Saturday works but book dinner early.Full guide →Book Maddox

Stag / Hen Adjacent

Mayfair is not the traditional stag or hen territory, and that is exactly why it works. Skip the generic party bus and give the group a premium night they will actually remember. These clubs deliver high energy without the tourist-trap feeling.

An after-hours house music club on Margaret Street, just north of Mayfair, with doors at 1am and a capacity of about 250. Plan dinner or a bar first, then keep the group together at one table until 6am.

Guestlist vs Tables for Groups

BEAT doesn't run a guestlist: entry is by table booking, so book one table for the whole group.

Approximate Group Cost

Tables from £1,000 min spend.

Best night: Friday or Saturday.Full guide →Book BEAT London

Mixed Groups

Mixed groups need venues that cater to different tastes. The house music purist. The hip-hop head. The person who just wants good cocktails. These clubs have enough variety to keep everyone happy.

Two floors, two sounds. The hip-hop fans go upstairs to the main room for open-format hip hop and RnB, the house fans go downstairs to the darker, dance-focused floor, and a staircase joins the two. Both floors run on Friday and Saturday, so nobody has to change venue to hear their kind of night.

Guestlist vs Tables for Groups

The guestlist welcomes mixed groups: it is not a ladies-only list. A table from £600 gives the group a base in the main room upstairs, where most tables sit, and covers entry for everyone.

Approximate Group Cost

Guestlist entry from free to about £50, depending on the night and arrival time. Tables from £600 min spend.

Best night: Friday or Saturday, when both floors are open.Full guide →Book 99 Regent Street

The Box mixes commercial, hip-hop and house between theatrical shows, so the night never depends on one genre. The performances give a mixed group something to talk about, and the dance floor fills between acts.

Guestlist vs Tables for Groups

The Box doesn't run a guestlist: entry is by table booking, from £1,000, so a table is the way in for a mixed group. Creative, bold dressing is rewarded. Arrive by 11pm.

Approximate Group Cost

Tables from £1,000 min spend.

Best night: Thursday, Friday or Saturday.Full guide →Book The Box

All-Female Groups

All-female groups have the best guestlist access in Mayfair. Most venues prioritise well-dressed female groups on their guestlists, and the experience is often smoother at the door. We have a dedicated guide with the best venues, guestlist tips, and safety advice.

Group Size Guide

Not every club handles large groups well. Here is how to match your group size to the right venue.

4 to 6 People

The sweet spot for Mayfair. Almost every venue handles this size comfortably on guestlist or with a single table.

8 to 12 People

Mid-size groups need venues with space and flexible table configurations. These clubs accommodate without feeling overcrowded.

12+ People

Large groups need multi-table bookings or venues with generous VIP areas. Book early and through a promoter who can coordinate the setup.

How to Book for a Group

1. Decide on Guestlist or Table

Groups of 4 to 6 can work on guestlist at most venues. Groups of 8+ should seriously consider a table: it guarantees entry, gives you a base, and the minimum spend covers your drinks anyway. Read our guide to how tables work for the full breakdown.

2. Book Through a Promoter

Never try to walk up with a large group. Book through a promoter who knows the venue. They will confirm your numbers, arrange the table configuration, and brief the door team. For table bookings and guestlist, message us on WhatsApp.

3. Confirm Your Numbers Early

Give the venue an accurate headcount at least 48 hours before. Showing up with 12 people when you booked for 8 will cause problems. If your numbers change, update the promoter immediately. Venues plan table layouts and staffing based on confirmed numbers.

4. Brief the Group on Dress Code

One person in the wrong outfit can get the whole group turned away. Send everyone our dress code guide before the night. Smart shoes, no sportswear, and polished styling for everyone. No exceptions.

Group Guestlist Tips

  • •Arrive together. Staggered arrivals make the door team's job harder and reduce your chances. Get everyone to a nearby bar first, then walk to the club as one group.
  • •Arrive before midnight. Guestlist windows close. Most Mayfair clubs want guestlist arrivals between 10:30pm and midnight. After midnight, the door tightens and groups are the first to be turned away.
  • •Gender ratio matters. Mixed groups with an even ratio or more women have the best chances on guestlist. All-male groups of 4+ will struggle at most venues without a table. Check our guestlist guide for more.
  • •Have one point of contact. Nominate one person to communicate with the promoter and the door team. Having five people waving phones at the bouncer does not help anyone.
  • •Have a backup plan. Guestlist is never guaranteed. If the room is full, you need a Plan B. Check where to go tonight for alternative options on the night.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum spend for group tables in Mayfair?+
Most Mayfair clubs start table minimums at around £800 to £1,000 for a standard table (6 to 8 guests). Premium tables and weekend nights can be £1,500 to £3,000+. Tape London starts from £750. Cirque Le Soir and Reign from £800. 99 Regent Street offers tables from £600, covering entry for the group, and BEAT from £1,000. For current table prices and group packages, message us on WhatsApp.
Can mixed groups get on the guestlist in Mayfair?+
Yes, but the ratio matters. Most Mayfair clubs prefer an even gender ratio or female-heavy groups on guestlist. All-male groups will struggle at some venues without a table booking. Mixed groups of 4 to 8 with a good gender balance work best. Book through a promoter for the smoothest experience. For all-female groups, check out our girls guestlist guide.
What is the best night for groups in Mayfair?+
Thursday is the best night for groups. Most major clubs are open, the atmosphere is excellent, and guestlists are more available than Saturday. Saturday is peak energy but tables sell out fast and guestlist spots are limited. Wednesday is the underrated option: Cirque Le Soir and The Box both run quality midweek nights with easier access for groups, and 99 Regent Street opens one of its two floors.
Can we split the bill on a table booking?+
Most venues require one card on the table for the minimum spend, but your group can settle up internally. Some clubs allow split payments if arranged in advance. The minimum spend is on bottles and drinks: whatever your group orders counts towards it. Any unspent minimum is still charged. Discuss payment arrangements with your table host when you arrive.
What should a group wear to Mayfair clubs?+
Everyone in the group needs to meet the dress code: one person in trainers can turn away the whole group. For men: smart shoes, tailored trousers, collared shirt or smart knitwear. No sportswear. For women: heels, cocktail-appropriate attire. Send the group our dress code guide before the night so nobody gets caught out. The door team judges the group as a whole.
