But if you think that The Rushmore Group which owns all these establishments had given up on exclusive drinking dens, you'd be wrong. Nestled under Tiny Robot is the Starland Social Club. As you might imagined, under a place called Tiny Robot, it's not big. A maximunm capacity of 50 covers I'd wager makes the place feel really special, not cramped. This lastest members only club is a fantastic haven from the pretentious (yes I know it's called Starland - but bare with me) wilds of Westbourne Grove. You won't find botoxed yummy mummies down here, nor will you find a hen party giggling in the corner. This is a place for relaxing, meeting friends and having some brilliant cocktails in very low (and therefore very flattering) light. Ah, but it's members only - however the last few times I have been this hasn't been adhered to particularly strictly (although on a Saturday night this might be the case due to space). It's essentially a fantastic little secret bolthole. So if you're in the area and fancy a Gimlet or a laugh with the super nice barstaff, or a giggle at the pictures of the founder members on the walls, pop into Starland, if there's space.

They are very welcoming and provide an exceptional service to customers old and new. The food is very reasonably priced considering the type of venue and is delicious! Himalayan Club is a restaurant, bar and club all rolled into one. There is no entry charge, it's always worth making bookings in advance as it get very busy at the weekends with birthdays, anniversaries, etc, as well as the regulars who return week after week due to the friendly and welcoming service, good food and music. Live singers sing old and new Bollywood / Hindi songs whilst you eat and the tempo picks up later so those who wish to can have a dance. It's always a good night but remember, book in advance so as not to be disappointed!
