Attire & Protocol

For all areas of the clubhouse, contemporary business casual is considered the minimum standard of dress. This includes:

While business casual is acceptable, a jacket and tie are always appropriate.

• For women: suits, dresses, skirts, tailored slacks or dress denim (jeans that are styled to be suitable for more formal occasions, are generally darker, may have a more tailored fit than casual jeans and are not ripped or distressed) paired with a tailored top, with or without a jacket or elegant sweater and non-athletic shoes.

Special Events

From time to time, the Club may host events with specific dress themes that may call for either more formal or more relaxed attire. These variations will be communicated in advance and should be observed with the same consideration and respect as the Club’s traditional standards.

Informing Guests and Compliance

Members are responsible for informing their guests regarding the dress code. Individuals not complying with our policies will be requested to change into appropriate attire. If they do not comply after being requested, they shall not be served and may be asked to leave the Clubhouse.

Employees are instructed to enforce the Club’s dress code policy.

To help preserve the quiet, gracious atmosphere of the Club, we kindly ask that members and guests limit cell phone calls to the Business Center, the first-floor phone booths, or private rooms.

For the comfort of all, please refrain from making calls in hallways, dining rooms, the bar, or other shared areas where conversations may be overheard. We also encourage keeping devices on silent mode while in the Club’s public spaces.

Thank you for helping us maintain the calm and collegial environment that makes the Union Club a special place for all members.

Tipping Policy

Tipping of staff is not permitted. Members who wish to acknowledge and support the contributions of our staff are encouraged to contribute to the Employee Fund.
