Despite 90-odd percent of you dressing fabulously for Hellfire, our door staff still cop a lot of grief for refusing entry to people based on our simple dress code; “No Effort, No Entry”.

Sometimes its because one or a group of dressed patrons bring a friend who isn’t dressed. Sometimes its a regular who has come straight from work. Sometimes there’s a couple where one is dressed and the other isn’t. Either way, it won’t work.

Everyone must at least wear basic black. No jeans. No trainers/white shoes/sandals – yes, even if you reckon that’s your fetish! And the more you dress up, the more fun you’ll have – as to be honest, we’re pretty darn bored by basic black! Seeing the effort people have made to put something together is one of the ongoing delights of The Hellfire Club, whether they’ve spent a little or a lot, and it really is its own reward.

So do us all a favour – if you’re bringing someone, make sure they’ve made an effort. We hate arguing and shouldn’t even have to about a very clear policy, and we hate sending people home – but we do and we will. And the door staff’s decision is final and must be respected. Thanks.

Better yet, take a risk. Get OUTSIDE your comfort zone. Why? Because it makes for a more festive, sexier club, and it gives you all a talking point. Plus then you can approach a woman to say that you like her outfit, rather than ‘hitting on’ her. This approach is MUCH better received at Hellfire by our female patrons.

So what do guys wear to Hellfire?

Leather, latex, lap-laps, PVC, military, punk creations, period costume, goth, industrial, rock’n'roll wear, sexy underwear, mesh shirts, kilts, themed wear, DIY and cowboy hats.

Here are some sexy dressers whose outfits we admire:

What DON’T guys wear to Hellfire?

Street wear, jeans, trainers, white sneakers, sportswear and suits. Oh yeah and sandals – well unless you’re coming dressed as a Roman Centurion (of which we’ve had a few over the years). And yes, thongs too… when women wear stilettos thongs are not advisable – we don’t want a puncture wound bleeding all over the floor. Now if you’d like to wear that OTHER sort of thong, we prefer leather, latex but will come at stylish lycra and the odd Borat mankini.

What do girls wear to Hellfire?

Corsets, PVC, crinolines, leather, latex, lingerie, vintage wear, period costumes, ballgowns, suspenders, shinny, slinky, evening wear, angel wings, cross-dressing, pencil moustaches, burlesque wear, themed wear, DIY… ladies, the list is endless!

Here are some sexy outfits that we have admired at Hellfire:

Remember it doesn’t have to be expensive – lots of awesome outfits are DIY – rips, safety pins, bubble-wrap, feathers, tulle… go crazy at Spotlight!
