Right on the main drag, this pub looks like it could be a tourist trap. It’s not. The Portobello Star has a soul. It’s got a proper jukebox, a mix of old and young, and a fantastic selection of rum. Upstairs, there’s a cocktail bar called the “Pink Room” that is exactly as fun as it sounds.
Grab a pint of something local and sit by the window. You get a front-row seat to the glorious chaos of Notting Hill life. It’s unpretentious, it’s reliable, and it’s still standing after all these years. Cheers to that.
So, there you have it. Whether you want to dress up or dress down, get fancy or get messy, Notting Hill has a bar stool with your name on it. Just remember to tip your bartender and maybe book a taxi home. Those cocktails are sneaky. Happy drinking, you legend.
