Portobello Star

Notting Hill & West London


Gin and alluring cocktails are on the menu at this former pub, refreshed into a nifty, narrow cocktail bar. There's live music every Thursday from 7.30pm, while DJs are in charge on Friday and Saturday evenings. The Portobello Star also runs Ginstitute, just up the road.
