A friend was throwing his birthday here and after reading several bad reviews we decided to go with an open mind and make the most of it. Started off OK upstairs although the music was really rubbish and not what you'd want on a Saturday night. Drinks were overpriced and not very pleasent. We then made our way downstairs to our booked table, for more overly priced drinks. The music was awful, complete teenage disco cheese! With the likes of Justin beiber and one direction insulting our ears you really felt the holiday camp DJ was out to make everyone look like twats! The space got to crowded to the point we were squeezed around our table, which was not entirely a bad thing as we had girls hovering about trying to help themselves to our drinks. After a friend was pushed over by the same group of tarts trying to steal our drinks we decided to go.
I wouldn't recommend mahiki to anyone! It's a rubbish!
Arrived 15 minutes late for a pre booked table to be told your table has now gone so you can't get in....plus the rest of your party are intoxicated (I was on my own at that point with the others 2 minutes behind me) I can only assume that the jobs worth on the door was both incredibly dense but also making wild assumptions from a predetermined script. Turns out a list minute media visit of 70 had stuffed the numbers for that night....it also stuffed the pre-arranged plans for a group of 15 of mine. Merry Christmas...
DONT BOTHER! went last night with 3 girls and a guy aged 32 who have all spent thousands in there as work round corner. Lately the blonde girl on the door has turned into a door nazi. Despite it being a tuesday at 9.45 and hardly anyone in the queue, we were told it was full, even when we offered to pay the 1,400 table charge she again said there were no tables and we could not even go to the bar queue. Despite this she let in 2 young blonde girls after us who had actually been asking how much it cost to get in as they told us they had NO MONEY!Mahiki management need to sort out their door woman and realise that young girls may make the place LOOK good, but if you are turning away 1,400 minimum spend to let in teenagers who cant afford the entry fee never mind the drink prices.We will not be returning there, or bringing back clients ever gain so all in all Mahikis have lost out on thousands of potential spend all because they want to apear to be some glam hotspot but is basically full of z list celebs and young tarty girls trying to fling themselves at sleazy footballers. We went to Mahikis sister bar KANALOA in the city instead, and where greeted warmly went straight in and sat at a table without having to spend a min of 1,400. It is MUCH better then mahikis and people are more friendly and you feel like your not just there to be ripped off, if mahikis adopted the same door policy then kanaloa then they wouldn't be loosing so many reg customers due to their ridiculous door dolly bird.
Me and my sister when there last night and we had a great night! The club is amazing, all the bar staff are extremely friendly and the cocktails (especially the piña colada) are absolutely incredible.The only problem I have with this place is the people that actually go there. My sister accidentally tripped over some people at a table and when I tried to apologise all they did was shoo me away and told me to fuck off repeatedly! I can't say the same for everyone but the few that we came across were absolutely horrible people and unfortunately it has put us off going there again.All in all though, it is a fantastic club if you don't bump into to any of the upper class snobs that frequent there.
Best night of my life!!! Very welcoming lady on the door, and we were taken down to the Southern Comfort No Tell Motel karaoke room. My girls had the best night, they were singing and dancing all night long. The personal waiter was a bit of a hunk, and definitely entertained us throughout the evening. Can't wait to go back and visit in the new year.
Had an excellent night out. booked a table through there marketing team. everything was well run and the staff are very charming including the waitresses!! definitely recommend going there on a night out. have been nearly every week since my first visit!! cant say enough about this place!! don't read any of the comments below it has changed massively!
By far the worst club in london, dark dank and dismal, over inflated egos working on the doors, only interested in minor celebrities, go some where else if your looking for a good night out, even the royals don't bother with it anymore!!! ;)
Mahiki is a disgrace to the tiki bar culture. The welcome was verging on hostile. Although we got in, some of our friends that we were meeting were refused entry without being given a reason, despite the bar being half empty. The door policy is anything but "open" as they claim in their PR blurb.
The drinks were ok, but the place lacked atmosphere, the sound system was poor and the DJ amateur. Mahiki certainly doesn't live up to the press release claims. It is a hollow shell built on hype
It seems like it is run by those who can afford to pay publicists to label them as "socialites" despite them having little experience outside of organising the odd ra-ra jolly in a Pimms tent at Henley.
Might be ok for entertaining corporate clients, but otherwise avoid!
