John Ibrahim’s latest Kings Cross venture includes a very strict dress code – and members of his family and entourage may fall victim to it.
The Flamingo Lounge is set to launch in late September after being backed by Ibrahim and a series of investors.
The dress code includes no visible tattoos, no large brands displayed on clothing and no ‘offensive haircuts’.

The Flamino Lounge features two bars, seven VIP private booths and exclusive lounge and terrace areas to hire
The nightclub will host its opening night on September 16, and is open to the public the following weekend.
It is situated at 33 Bayswater Road, the location of the iconic Hugo’s Lounge that shut down in August, 2015 due to the controversial lockout laws.
Flamingo Lounge is described as ‘evoking the 1970s classic Miami bar glamour’ with a colourful, vibrant Cuban theme.
A company email, obtained by the Daily Telegraph, suggests the new nightclub may be less welcoming than its predecessor.
‘Management of Flamingo Lounge uphold a dress code of smart casual, sophisticated attire,’ the memo reads.
‘Any patron with the following may be denied entry into the venue. Visible tattoos are out, as are ‘offensive haircuts’ and ‘untidy foot wear’.’
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Flamingo Lounge for comment.

Flamingo Lounge also boasts two ‘VVIP parlours’ which can be hired for ‘exclusive functions, celebrities and those who wish for that extra privacy for themselves and guests’
