Itzel London Review: Inside the Three-Room Club on Berkeley Street
Last updated: 5 October 2026
Itzel is the newest club at 15 Berkeley Street, and it has taken over an address a lot of people in Mayfair know well — the room that was Funky Buddha for years, and Luxx before that. What is there now is structurally different from either. Here is what it actually is, who it suits, and what to know before you book.
Three Rooms, Not One Club With Corners
The single most useful fact about Itzel is that it runs three distinct spaces rather than one room with a quieter end. The Main Room is the hip hop and eclectic floor. The Moon Room is house-led, lit by a backlit moon and blue arches, and runs at a different tempo entirely. The Taqueria — Casa de Itzel — is a Mexican kitchen that stays open late.
Plenty of clubs claim multiple rooms and deliver one dancefloor plus an overflow area. That is not what is happening here. The Moon Room has its own identity and its own sound, and the Taqueria is a genuine food offer rather than a vending machine and a bar stool. If you have ever been in a group where half want hip hop and half want house, this is the format that solves it.
Five Hundred People, and Why That Number Matters
Capacity is around 500 across the three spaces. In Mayfair terms that is substantial — several times the size of the intimate Dover Street rooms, and comfortably larger than most of what sits between Berkeley Square and Piccadilly.
What that buys you is slack. A 200-capacity club fills hard and early, and once it is full the night is set. Itzel has somewhere to put people, which means the door stays workable later, groups can move rather than hold territory, and arriving at midnight does not mean you have missed it. If your experience of Mayfair is being told a room reached capacity at 12:30, this is the opposite problem.
The Main Room
Hip hop is the spine of it, but the programming is explicitly eclectic and read to the crowd rather than locked to a format for the night. Residents carry most of it, with international headliners and guest selectors through the calendar.
In practice that means a Thursday and a Saturday are not the same club. I would not promise anyone a specific sound on a specific date without checking what is actually booked — and that is a feature of how they programme, not an evasion. If the DJ matters to you more than the room, ask and we will tell you who is on.
The Moon Room
House-led, darker, slower to build, and visually the most distinctive part of the venue. The moon installation and the backlit arches do most of the work; it is the kind of room that photographs well without feeling built for photographs.
It is also the answer to a very common booking problem. Groups that would otherwise split between a hip hop club and a house club can take one table and let people move. Nobody has to lose that argument in the group chat.
The Taqueria
Casa de Itzel serves Mexican food into the night. It is easy to be cynical about food in a nightclub, so to be specific about why it matters: it changes the shape of the evening. Groups eat, reset, and go back in, rather than leaving at 1am to find something and never returning.
For birthdays and longer nights that is worth more than it sounds. A four-and-a-half hour night with no food is a different event from one with a break in the middle, and the second one tends to end better.
The Door
The dress code is "elegance with edge" — dressed up, with room for personality, rather than a strict blazer rule. No sportswear, hoodies, shorts or activewear. Entry is strictly 18+ and they want physical photographic ID; a photo of your passport on your phone will not do it.
That ID policy catches more people out than the clothes do. It is worth saying to the group before you leave rather than discovering it on Berkeley Street at midnight.
Tables
Minimum spends start from £600, which is low for a Mayfair room of this size and makes a table realistic for a group of six or eight rather than only for big nights. The reservation includes entry for the group, so nobody is queuing, and you get a host for the evening.
Where you land above the minimum depends on the night, the group and which room you want. We do not charge you anything for arranging it — the venue bills you directly, with no booking fee and no commission on your bill.
What We Book It For
The briefs that land best here are mixed groups who cannot agree on a sound, birthdays of eight to fifteen, and anyone who wants a Mayfair night without a 200-capacity squeeze. The three-room format and the lower minimum do a lot of work for all three.
What suits it less: anyone whose priority is a single specific headline act every week, and people who specifically want the intensity of a small room. Those are different briefs rather than failings, and Mayfair has venues built for both.
