Streatham MP Chuka Umunna made the comments on an exclusive social network website aimed at "the world's tastemakers".
The shadow business secretary, who posted on the invitation-only site using his middle name Harrison, reportedly complained about the lack of "decent" clubs in the capital.
It has been reported that in 2006 he wrote: "Most of the West End haunts seem to be full of trash and C-list wannabes, while other places that should know better opt for the cheesy vibe.
In another post on ASmallWorld, which targets wealthy globe-trotting "jetrosexuals", Mr Umunna called for advice on "what's hot right now" in Miami.
Mr Umunna has not posted a message on the site since he became MP for Streatham, South London, in 2010 and a spokesman for the politician apologised if the "light hearted" comments caused offence.
