Dress Code and Cell Phone Policy

The Missouri Athletic Club is proud to be recognized as a Platinum Club of America, a distinction that reflects its long-standing commitment to excellence, tradition, and an exceptional member experience. The Club’s standards, including its dress and etiquette guidelines, are an essential part of preserving this distinction and the refined atmosphere members and guests have come to expect across all Club locations.

The Board of Governors and Club Management extend a warm welcome to all who visit the Missouri Athletic Club. In keeping with the values and traditions that define a Platinum Club of America, members and guests are respectfully asked to observe the House Rules, Dress Code, and Cell Phone Policy (“Policy”). These guidelines are designed to support an environment that is gracious, comfortable, and respectful for all—whether enjoying dining, social spaces, or the professional coworking environment at MAC Clayton.

MAC Clayton reflects these standards within a modern, combined dining and workspace setting, where attire is expected to remain polished and appropriate for both professional and social use.

Observing this Policy helps sustain the character of the Club and contributes to the quality and enjoyment of every aspect of Club life.

On occasion, members or guests may be asked to make a minor adjustment prior to accessing the Club’s public spaces. Courtesy and cooperation with fellow members and Club staff are appreciated, as they play an important role in upholding the standards and welcoming atmosphere that distinguish the Missouri Athletic Club.

Cell Phone Courtesy

To preserve the comfort, privacy, and refined atmosphere of the Missouri Athletic Club, members and guests are expected to always use cellular phones and electronic devices with discretion and consideration for others throughout all Clubhouses.

All cellular phones and electronic devices must remain on silent mode while in the Clubhouse. Texting, email, and internet use are permitted when conducted discreetly and in a manner that does not disturb other members or guests.

Voice calls may be made or received only in areas designated by the Club, including private meeting rooms, business centers, alcoves, hallways, or other locations approved by Management. In all other areas, a member or guest may receive a silent call and respond briefly and quietly, not to exceed thirty (30) seconds, before relocating to a designated area.

The use of speakerphone, FaceTime, video calls, voice notes, or any audible device function is not permitted in public areas of the Club. Audible alerts, ringtones, music, or other sound-emitting features must be disabled.

Cellular phone use is not permitted in dining rooms, bars, or other areas where such use may disrupt the experience of fellow members and guests.

Members are expected to be mindful of their surroundings and to maintain the Club’s standards of decorum when using electronic devices. Management reserves the right to request that a member or guest discontinue use, silence a device, or relocate if such use is deemed disruptive.

We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a respectful and welcoming environment for all members and guests.
