Would love to be able to give a review on the quality of the drinks sadly wasn't allowed in. I took a group of international friends to Blu Bar and we were refused entry because one member of our group was wearing Birkenstocks. These were considered thongs/flip flops and against dress code. Perhaps, if this a rule you are unwilling to be flexible on, you should state this somewhere. Not on the website (only reference is to smart casual), not in the lobby, not in the elevator, not as we queued to get in....no mention?! Yet someone ahead of us arrived in sweaty, smelly sports gear and was allowed in? What sort of standard is that?
