Updated: August 30, 2025

Late-night vibe, upscale standards—dress like you planned the night.

Quick take: Upscale fashion-forward attire. Avoid athletic wear, work boots, overly baggy garments, and distressed pieces. Sneakers must be clean & fashion-first (not running/gym). 21+ with a physical government ID.

Allowed vs. avoid

Usually allowed

  • Men: fitted button-up/polo or premium tee; tailored denim/trousers; blazer/bomber
  • Women: chic dresses, coordinated sets, upscale denim, heels or fashion sneakers
  • Shoes: dress shoes, Chelseas, clean fashion sneakers*
  • Minimal, tasteful accessories

Commonly denied

  • Athletic/gym wear, jerseys, tank tops
  • Slides/flip-flops, running shoes, beat-up sneakers
  • Work boots/steel-toe boots/Timberlands
  • Excessively baggy or overly distressed clothing
  • Visible offensive graphics

*The Drais After Hours shoes policy varies by night. Fashion sneakers must be spotless and styled upscale. Final entry is always at management’s discretion.
