Dress Code

One of the hallmarks that sets the Manitoba Club apart from other clubs is the assurance that certain expectations will be met, in terms of the quality of service, staff and food. This also extends to the standards of attire for the members. It is a courtesy to others and a guarantee that any member, or their guests, can expect a respectable level of dress from others when attending the Club.

Private Events

It is respectfully requested that a member sponsoring an event advise all guests that denim is not encouraged, however will be tolerated, within the event rooms of the Club. It is incumbent upon any member who sponsors an event hosted by another person to ensure that the Dress Code is properly enforced.

Fort Garry Gate Dining Room

A higher standard of dress is expected in the Fort Garry Gate Dining Room. Within this space, denim does not meet the criteria of acceptable dress. Members and guests are expected to be attired in business dress, with ties for the gentlemen being optional. During evening dinner service, gentlemen are required to wear a jacket.

Buffalo Bistro and Billiards Lounge

The Buffalo Bistro and Billiards Lounge enjoy a somewhat relaxed dress code. Although business dress is always preferred, denim to the caliber of the Manitoba Club, is acceptable in only these areas.

Business, formal or smart casual dress for the gentlemen, and contemporary attire for the ladies will assure that you are properly dressed for every Club event. If you are unsure of the dress required for an event, or particular area within the Club, please contact the Member Services Co-ordinator by email or by telephone (204-942-5438).
