99 Regent Street

In short: 99 Regent Street (formerly Cuckoo Club) is the two-floor club at the Piccadilly Circus end of Regent Street, entered through the Swallow Street door the Cuckoo Club used for the best part of two decades. The Cuckoo founders have reunited on the same floors with a new concept, styled NinetyNine or simply 99: open-format hip-hop and RnB in the upstairs main room, house downstairs, a 19+ door and tables from £600 minimum spend. It opened in October 2026 and runs Wednesday to Saturday, 11pm to 4am. This review covers the rooms, the door, what a table or the guestlist costs, and how to book either through us.

An Address With a Past

Few London clubs can claim a lineage like this one. The rooms at 99 Regent Street have been a nightlife address since 1954, the era of Al Burnett's Stork Club, whose guests ran from Harold Macmillan to Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor. The Cuckoo Club followed and held the floor for the best part of two decades. 99 is the next chapter rather than a repaint: the Cuckoo founders, the same floors, a new name and a new concept. Our earlier piece on the Cuckoo Club and what changed keeps the history; everything below describes the club as it trades today.

Two Floors, Two Sounds

The layout is the club's strongest card. Two floors, each with a capacity of around 200, run as different rooms rather than one room split in half. Upstairs is the main room, where most of the tables sit: open-format hip-hop and RnB, dark panelling, warm low lighting, banquette seating and a long bar. Downstairs is darker and more dance-focused, built around house. A staircase connects the two, and on a Friday or Saturday a group can move between them all night without leaving the building. On Wednesday and Thursday one floor opens, so midweek nights run in a single room.

Most of the tables are upstairs in the main room, set along the banquettes within reach of the long bar. The lighting is low and warm throughout, closer to a members' lounge than a production club, and it suits a group that wants to talk between tracks as much as one that wants to dance.

The Door: 19+ and Properly Dressed

99 asks for 19+ with physical photo ID, a year older than most London doors, so bring the card or passport itself rather than a picture of it. The dress code is elegant and it is enforced: no sportswear, no running trainers, no shorts, no caps, no fancy dress. Clean, minimal trainers are at the door's discretion, which in practice means not relying on them. Black is the safe choice. Our dress code guide covers the rest of the Mayfair circuit for comparison.

Tables and Guestlist

Tables start from £600 minimum spend. The figure is spent on drinks rather than charged as a fee on top, and it covers entry for the whole group, which makes 99 one of the gentler first tables in Mayfair. Minimums rise with the night, the size of the group and the position of the table; VIP and larger tables are arranged on request. Halloween 2026 falls on Saturday 31 October and New Year's Eve on Thursday 31 December; both are regular opening nights, and tables for those dates are worth booking early.

The guestlist is by request and mixed groups are welcome; it is not a ladies-only list. Entry runs from free to about £50, depending on the night and the time you arrive. We confirm names and the night's terms before you go, so nothing is decided on the pavement. If you are weighing the two routes, our guestlist versus table guide explains the trade-off.

Private Hire, Corporate Nights and Membership

Membership exists at the venue. Its details are not published, and you do not need it to book through us: we arrange tables and guestlist for non-members. We also take private event and hire enquiries, corporate nights included, with capacities, minimums and terms on request. For a client evening that has to work for a mixed group, our corporate entertainment guide sets out how to plan it.

99 Regent Street is the rare Mayfair club that can be two different nights at once. Pick a floor, or pick both.

Who 99 Regent Street Is Best For

• Groups that cannot agree on a genre: hip-hop and RnB upstairs, house downstairs on Friday and Saturday
• Anyone who wants an elegant room and a proper door rather than a spectacle
• A first Mayfair table without a four-figure minimum, with entry included for the group
• Mixed groups on the guestlist (it is not a ladies-only list)

Is 99 Regent Street Worth It?

For the right group, yes. A £600 minimum is one of the lower starting points in Mayfair, the door is stricter than most, and on Friday and Saturday the two floors give a group options that a single room cannot. Treat the 19+ rule and the dress code as fixed and the rest of the night is straightforward. If you would rather have one intimate room than two floors, Rumour (formerly Tabu) on Dover Street is the natural comparison: around 200 capacity, red velvet booths and no photography on the floor. For the music-industry room, Tape London; for a dressed-up night that begins with cocktails, Dear Darling; for the showclub on Piccadilly, Reign London.
