Dress Code

At Life After, we embrace a stylish and sophisticated vibe. While we are not formal, we expect guests to dress tastefully and fashionably to match our elevated atmosphere.

❌ Not Permitted: Clubwear, overly revealing outfits, athletic wear, excessively ripped clothing, flip-flops, or anything deemed inappropriate by our team.

✔ Encouraged: Chic, put-together looks that reflect personal style—upscale casual, trendy, and polished attire.

We are not a nightclub, and our dress code is enforced to maintain the refined ambiance we create for all guests. Management reserves the right to refuse service to anyone not dressed appropriately.
