What Is the Afterhours Guest List?

The afterhours guest list is a hosted entry list that can help you get in without paying full cover when you follow the rules — mainly timing, dress code, and group mix.

Can Locals Get In Free?

Yes — locals often get in free, but it’s never “automatic.” The door still controls the room.

  • Ladies are typically the most guest-list friendly (before the cutoff).
  • Mixed groups (especially with more ladies than guys) usually do best.
  • All-guy groups are generally subject to cover charge (and stricter door discretion), even if you’re on the list.
  • Guest list is usually the cheapest option when it’s available and you arrive on time.

Timing (This Is Where People Mess Up)

Afterhours is not a “show up whenever” situation. Doors open at 1:00 AM, and your price/entry outcome depends on the night and when you arrive.

  • 12:30 AM
    Best time to be nearby, ready, and in dress code.
  • 1:00 AM
    Doors open. Early arrivals usually get the smoothest entry.
  • 1–2 AM
    Most consistent window for guest list success on normal nights.
  • Later
    Expect longer lines and higher chance of cover depending on crowd / door discretion.

Dress Code (Guest List Doesn’t Override This)

Being on the guest list does not bypass dress code. If your outfit is questionable, you’re gambling with your night.

Upscale / dress-to-impress No athletic shorts No sandals / flip-flops Avoid jerseys / sloppy tees

Guest List vs Tickets vs VIP Table

Option Best For Tradeoff
