Mahiki


Mahiki was a nightclub in Mayfair, London, which operated from 2006 until 2021.

Nightclub

The club was established in 2006 at 1 Dover Street by Piers Adam, David Phelps and Nick House. Mahiki was a nightclub and bar with a Polynesian and tiki theme, predominantly specialising in rum. Mahiki claimed to maintain a “democratic” door policy; according to House, "whether you're fat, thin, bald, ugly or old, you can get in.” For a time, the club was managed by Jack Brooksbank, who later married Princess Eugenie.

Other clubs

A Mahiki club in Dubai, located at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, opened in 2011 and closed in 2018, due to “unforeseen circumstances during the renovation” of the hotel, as stated by the owners at the time.
In 2017, Mahiki's owners further expanded and franchised the brand. In the course of that year, Mahiki Clubs have opened in Marbella, Spain, in the Forte Village Resort in Sardinia, in Manchester and at a second London location. There is also a Mahiki club in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Branded liquors

In 2008, a line of three rum blends exclusively sold at Selfridges was released under the Mahiki brand. Mahiki Coconut, the club's branded rum coconut liqueur, was first introduced in 2011.
MBG has launched the Mahiki drinks range in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates and Spain in 2019. The original canned pre-mixes were replaced with the new products 'Mahiki Coconut Pineapple Cocktail' and 'Mahiki Coconut Maracuja Cocktail'. Later in 2019, a rum coconut liqueur with cream was added to the range. New pre-mixes were introduced in June 2020.
