Guestlist: Mahiki - London

Mahiki does not run a guestlist. Entry is £10 after 9:30pm wed-thurs and £15 after 9:30pm fri & sat.

Mahiki - Cocktails anyone?

Mahiki officially opened on November 15th and the launch party was hosted by Elizabeth Saltzman of Vanity Fair. Some of the biggest names in town tasted our exotic new venture on 1 Dover Street, Mayfair. Sting, Bon Jovi, Dave Stewart flew the flag for the rockers as they shared a table requesting a few of their favorite tracks, Desert Island Disc style!

Party girls Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton set the dance floor alight after sinking the infamous Mahiki Treasure chest cocktail (meant for 8 to share!) in record time, Paris then insisted they play her song and cleared the floor with some one on one dirty dancing with her new best friend Lindsay.

Sharlene Spiteri, Natalie Imbruglia kept their cool as only they do best onlooking the fun. Roberto Cavalli, Tommy Hilfiger, Jade Jagger, Giles Deacon, Isabella Blow, Tamara Mellon were amongst some of the fashion cognoscenti to give the party their blessing (without entourage note.) Camilla Al Fayed, Jemima Goldsmith and a few royals will keep the society pages busy for a week or two.

So the next time you fancy dirty dancing to some desert island discs, head to Mahiki. There's no guest list and the vibe is be-free-to-be-you.

The feel: retro '70s cool (think Leonardo and the Pan Am-ettes in Catch Me if You Can).

The food: steak sandwiches, burgers and sushi (the better for sharing).

The cocktails: Pina Coladas made with fresh pineapples and Neptune's Bounty, served in a diver's helmet.

And here's a tip: if the wedding-style DJ doesn't have the song you want, you get a free drink.

Dare to dive in!
