What’s the Dress Code at Celine?

At Celine, we embrace smart-casual style and encourage guests to dress with elegance. While there’s no written dress code, our door staff has final discretion—so, we recommend dressing up for a night to remember.

As a guide, please leave the sweats, athletic shorts, flip-flops, beachwear, tank tops, overly revealing clothing, and sports caps at home.

Note: Admittance is always at the discretion of management, who reserves the right to refuse service, even with a reservation. So, make sure you’re bringing your A-game!

Do I need a reservation?

No reservation is required. While reservations are available, Celine offers plentiful bar seating and standing room so walk-ins are welcome.  If your party prefers a seated experience with a cocktail server, we highly recommend making a reservation to secure your seating and enhance your experience. Booking in advance ensures a seamless visit, especially during peak hours and special events.
