Party Earth Mahiki Review

The Scene

A two-story tiki hut-inspired club and lounge, Mahiki provides its patrons with a taste of Polynesian culture and South Pacific flair.

Mayfair / Knightsbridge, London –

A two-story tiki hut-inspired club and lounge, Mahiki provides its patrons with a taste of Polynesian culture and South Pacific flair.

The upstairs Lanai Lounge is filled with bamboo tables and chairs, seashell lamps, and tropical plants that create a soothing atmosphere in which to sip delicious cocktails and chat with friends.

Meanwhile, the printed wall hangings in the downstairs Aloha Room give the space a more retro 70s vibe, and the dance floor is usually packed with a mix of pampered 20-somethings, bankers, and D-list celebrities – not to mention the odd appearance of Prince William or Harry – all dressed to impress.

Creative cocktails are delightfully served in coconut shells, treasure chests, and miniature diver helmets, and watching the bartenders whip them up is quite a spectacle in itself.

Between the tropical drinks, the sultry Polynesian décor, and the busy dance floor, Mahiki is a terrific choice for anyone looking for a festive, upbeat adventure.

Mahiki User Reviews

casupernova May 27, 2013 2.0 stars Past it. Ive been to Mahiki a few times now, and I do think back to such fun times I had there, but I must say that each time I go back, I think its getting a bit desperate. Its a nice place to go, but be warned, the prices of the cocktails while you wait outside are much different to those inside. Now Im not a penny pincher, I don't care how much I spend on a night out but alarm bells ring for me when the exact same cocktail has two prices depending on what time and day you go. If Im paying for quality then I don't care, but I find it cheap and pretentious that Im paying for poor quality cocktails just because they're being served in Mahiki. Its a cool bar don't get me wrong, but its rough around the edges and to be honest, better places exist. The guest-list isn't exclusive although you'll tell you it is and charge you a fortune to go and hang out with paraletic
Jan Brown Apr 10, 2013 3.0 stars Papa Jules's little treasure chest. Papa Jules, (aka Julien Gualdoni) creator of this little gem in the middle of London can be seen from many perspectives: 1. It is the one place many of the British celebs like to see and be seen. 2. For that reason it seems overpriced. 3. And for that reason many people want to avoid it. I have to say, though. This place is well in the top bars of what London has to offer. The atmosphere properly represents a Tiki bar. The drinks are made to the highest standards with premium spirits. One should know that Mahiki Barbados Rum is Papa Jules' side-project as is his own made grenadine syrup. So the man and his staff know what they are doing behind the bar. Many specials are on the menu, too. For example, you can get a whole treasure chest filled with specialty cocktails for a borderline price. All in all this bar can be recommended. The up-beat feel can sometimes be distracted by the massive crowds you are surrounded in.
Natalie Basque Apr 9, 2013 3.0 stars Drinks I liked the drinks! We couldn't find out group so it was a little overwhelming but the people are beautiful and this place has a great feel because of the different decor.
edonofrio Mar 25, 2013 3.0 stars On Celeb Lookout Not going to lie, when my friends suggest we go to an upscale club like Mahiki, I wasn't sold. Then they casually brought up how Prince Harry frequents the spot, and I had my heels and skirt on faster than you could say "Let's go, mates." The tropical themed club can make for an expensive night out, but the ambience is worth the price. No, we didn't see Prince Harry. Yes, we missed seeing the Arsenal soccer club by one night. Even though we didn't get our fill of celebrity encounters, we did have a night full of fun and alcohol. Our friend was a promoter and got us a treasure chest. Get it--it's worth the cost even if you have to pay for it. It's extremely alcoholic and surprisingly delicious. Although I did pay £10 for one drink, it came out in a steaming coconut, and was so worth it. If you're looking for a classy night out with a different twist, definitely give Mahiki a try. The music is upbeat and fun, the crowd is hot, and the cocktails are orgasmic.
Samantha Mackson Feb 5, 2013 3.0 stars Awesome (but expensive) Mahiki is one of my favorite clubs in all of Europe. I went to London to visit my friends, and they took me to "Mahiki Mondays," where I proceeded to have one of the most fun nights I've ever had. The club has a tropical theme, and there are two levels, so there is plenty of room to sit and mingle or to dance. They have huge drinks that come in treasure chests and taste delicious. The music was great, and it was easy to navigate around the spacious club. The only warning I have is that you need to be willing to drop a lot of dough if you're trying to drink there. London is expensive on its own, and because this is one of the high-end clubs, they definitely over-charge everything. However, I had an excellent night, and it's well worth the money.
Katya Bachrouche Jan 16, 2013 3.0 stars Oh Mai Tai During the London Olympics this past summer, Mahiki served as a hot spot for Olympic Athletes. It was one of the night clubs where you had the choice to either dance or hang out and chill, whereas other clubs left no margin for relaxation. Their tiki drinks are incredible, especially their Mai Tais. They also offer a treasure chest of alcohol which is not only delicious, but cost-efficient if you share it with a group. The overall tropical ambiance of this club allows you to unwind and have a great night with your friends. There are two levels-- the top floor resembles a Tiki Hut or Cabana with plenty of tables as well as it's own music that differs from the music being played downstairs; the bottom floor more closely resembles a nightclub, although it retains it's tropical decor. Downstairs you find the traditional nightclub dance floor and the flashing lights and more good times. One thing to note about Mahiki, however, is that it is not all too large of a club, and if it gets crowded, you might find it difficult to move about the place. The ceilings on the top floor are unconventionally low and the bottom floor can be a bit of a maze with all of the tables scattered around. Nonetheless, it was obviously still a place worth checking out, as athletes from around the world frequented Mahiki on a nightly basis.
missyf Dec 5, 2012 3.0 stars if you like a fancy, expensive crowd go here it has an expensive cover fee of $20 and expensive drinks but its definitely fun. there's always a good vibe and the mayfair club is right across the street if you want to check out another place too! it is in mayfair right next to green park tube station so a really ideal location. this was one of prince harry's favorite spots so you know it has to be good - but that being said, lots of people go there expecting to see celebrities so sometimes it is a lot of wannabes... definitely one of those "to do" places while visiting London!
Anna Ovaert Nov 29, 2012 4.0 stars Fun any night of the week Mahiki is such a fun themed bar right in Mayfair, a really trendy and fun area. Although their drinks can be a bit pricey, the atmosphere has a great high energy and the tiki theme is fun, even if you feel like dressing for it. If you can get your hands on a treasure chest, then those always result in a good time. Overall, really good music and makes for a fun night out with friends, especially Mahiki Mondays!!
Lindsay Tuchman Nov 15, 2012 3.0 stars Treasure Mahiki is such a fun bar to hang out and dance with friends. The environment is a cool getaway from the Euro-scene, being that it is a tropical themed bar. I studied abroad in London and we called Tuesday nights Mahiki Tuesdays. Not a big night there but fun to bring a big group when it's not too packed! We all shared a giant treasure chest full of a tropical alcoholic drink to save money on individual drinks. Just make sure not to drink one on your own, they are very strong. Overall, great place to come on a weekday, but expect a good amount of tourists.
Alli Holt Nov 14, 2012 3.0 stars You cannot order a vodka soda here While studying abroad in London, Tuesday nights were Mahiki night with my group of friends because one of my friends knew a promoter who worked there. Mahiki is a really cool vibe- very beachy, lots of bamboo, and plenty of seating area in addition to lots of space for dancing. The best part about Mahiki is the drinks. They whip up some really crazy concoctions that you can't find anywhere else and even have this huge "Treasure Chest", which is actually a treasure chest filled with drinks and tons of straws for everyone. I will say that you should be with a promoter if you want to sip on this kind of cocktail though because it's CRAZY expensive. The crowd can vary throughout the week so I would only go here if you have a big group WITH a promoter so it's worth your while.
SamuelTodd14 Aug 15, 2012 3.0 stars Fun place to eat, drink and dance Mahiki is hit or miss. Some nights it's packed with celebs and others it's a bit on the slow side. If you catch it on the right night though, it's outstanding. The food is surprisingly decent --- lots of Asian appetizers that are somewhat reasonably priced. You will usually see some banker trying to impress his friends by ordering the big treasure chest --- an absolutely massive amount of alcohol stuffed in a treasure chest with tons of straws to share. The dance floor downstairs is pretty small but gets packed and awfully sweaty. You will usually see a mix of London's posh crowd here. Arrive early if you want to avoid a hassle at the door.
Danny Milner Aug 11, 2012 3.0 stars Tiki Treasure Warning: you will get drunk at this place. The cocktails and specialty drinks at Mahiki make for a fun night…especially if you are with a group of friends and decide to splurge on a treasure chest sized vat of alcohol. This is not a souvenir sized chest…this is something the size that Capt. Jack Sparrow would search for with many straws for all to enjoy. Once you’re nice and lubricated the downstairs dance floor is a lot of fun as well, even if the crowd can be a little stuffy. The door can be a little tough here but once you’re inside it’s a lot of fun.
Kira Abe Aug 8, 2012 3.0 stars Mahiki Tuesdays When I lived in London my friends and I would always head to Mahiki on Tuesdays (oftentimes promoters will have a certain night that they want everyone to come out and party). Mahiki has a fun, tropical vibe and fruity cocktails that, while being a bit overpriced, are delicious nonetheless! The decor and music allow for a nice break from the cold London winter!
casupernova May 27, 2013 (cont..) just finished work 30 some-things with sweat patches on their shirts and Primark cardigans. A friend of mine also got duped twice by the door staff. They were told that the club was full and that the only way the group of them could gain entry is by buying a table (usually £500+). Once inside, the club was dead, so they had been lied to. as there was a group, they decided to stay as they would probably spend the table fee between them in drinks anyway. When it came to paying the bill, they asked if service charge was included, which they were told it wasn't. At this point, the table fee was in excess of £1000, so they tipped 10% only later to find out that service charge was already included. And this happened TWICE. The second time, they explained about the situation but yet again, they were lied to and conned out of another £100. I just find it tacky and unprofessional.
