Cocktails are £8.50 for god's sake. You can apparently do salsa here which would be quite fun. And it is free with sessions for all levels of ability... beginners for me! I guess that is one attractive quality of the place. Also, the food is really good- that is some of the meze starter menu. The broad bean falafel is good. And not too expensive. I wouldn't really return here in a rush, maybe on payday if I wanted a bit of class. And yes, it would have to be in the summer.

Intimate enough to feel cosy without feeling like you can't move, The Gate has always had a great mix of punters who have always been pleasant. Drinks are slightly on the pricey side, but, hey, it's Notting Hill. They have a great range of beers, top-shelf spirits and cocktails. Go down! It's totally super fun!

It's a little hard to find, at the end of Portobello Road turn right and you find it. I do however love this space. It has 2 floors. The main dance floor with an organ that shots out fire and an upstairs that has a balcony that you can look down to the dance floor. There's also comfy seating upstairs. Morning Gloryville is a 4 hour morning rave that does not allow alcohol or drugs so kids can come too. There's yoga, massage, glitter and free hugs. (The Yoga, Massage & glitter are 'free' but you are expected to give a donation to the person offering the service). Also if you dance next to the DJ's it's ridiculously cool compared to the rest of the dance floor.

Oh my!!! Found this little spot by chance. My girlfriend…read morehad heard about some Filipino club nearby from a couple of bouncers at totally different places (who we ran into there). So we were having a pint at a local on a Sunday night and my good friend from NYC (ex: Luyton) was in town so we needed another beer to say the least. Still haven't adjusted to the early closing hours here in this town...don't get me wrong, I love a pint while the sun is still up, anyway, I digress...leaving the Defectors Weld we chanced up Uxbridge to this unknown destination...lo and behold, just past the Shepherds Bush Market and one door down something looked promising...a quick pat down later and down the stairs revealed a full blown Filipino Karaoke Party...awesome!!! I don't karaoke, but I know those that do...spending many years of my adult life on ships at sea with a Filipino crew, I understand the connection quite well... apparently this is a Sunday phenom or whatever...but I will be back...my GF and friend loved it...beers are affordable considering the hour...So now there is a place to go when you need one more and your in the Bush...there was also a DJ and dancing, mixed crowd, and some good smelling food which I hope to update you on later...you'll love it or hate it, but chances are you'll see me there

This place is called The Balkan but everyone calls it Tesco disco because it is right next door…read more(and pretty much underneath Tesco's). It is a tiny room and it's like being in someone's (smelly) living room. The bar serves chilled drinks and the music is played by the bar staff from an ipod playlist through an old school 90s hi fi. You couldn't really call it a club but if you are in the area and dying for a drink after 11pm when all the pubs have shut, then this is the place to head to. It does get quite packed though so not ideal if you don't like to have your feet trod on by drunken youngsters.

We came here for an evening drink after a long day and my friends were really impressed with the set up. The place is a little small than what I expected bit that's not problem because we had a lot of fun and we enjoyed our nice table by the window with a street facing view. Music was also the right tune for this venue. My friends had a glass of wine each and I had the house swedish cocktail which was concoted perfectly. The hot dogs and the cheese platters were a thing to remember too. All in all it's a superb venue and we'll make our new hangout place.The highlight of the evening was the bar manager Ebba, she was really attentive and looked after us in a cool way. Tusen tack .

Pop quiz: what is the significance of 1761? a) the year of…read moreMadame Tussaud's birth b) the year Twinkle Twinkle Little Star was first played c) Year 5 of the Seven Years' War d) 1187 + 574 e) a French 75 served with pineapple juice in addition to the standard gin, lemon juice, sugar and champagne Any of the above are correct, but the answer that will give you the most instant gratification is E, and you will find it listed at the top of Kosmopol's extensive cocktail menu. Kosmopol is similar to Eclipse in that it has a small intimate lounge upstairs and a larger louder dance club downstairs. It specialises in carefully made intricate drinks, including a fresh watermelon martini. The lounge is a good place to take a first date, the club is good for a group of friends on a South Ken dance crawl. As for the 1761s, I'm a big fan of French 75s but I have to admit that the pineapple twist won me over. I'll be back for more.

After a dinner, this place is a good meeting point for a group of friends. As it is so popular there are bouncers at the door, letting only as many people in as there are going out. To be fair, this place is tiny and if it gets too packed you get to step onto each other's feet. There is a more casual bar on the ground floor; going down the stairs you will find yourself on the dance floor. Not many places around South Ken are open late, however, this one got a license until 2am, which makes you get into the dance move. You will find yourself surrounded by locals and an international mix. I often bump into Greeks and Germans. As Eclipse has more of a lounge feeling to it, you will find yourself talking to people you would otherwise not have met. If you are early enough, the main highlight is the bongo player, which brings rhythm into the bar. I would not plan my night around Eclipse, however, this is a great alternative to consider if you happened not to be on a guest list somewhere else.
