Would 100% recommend. Came for a single old fashioned and stayed all night. Nafis and Dayan provided excellent service, great cocktails. Security on the door Marc knows the crack and has good chat. I'll be back next time I'm in Kensington.

recommend!! We were just looking for a bar with a cool vibe to get a cocktail in Notting Hill and ended up getting a full rum education. I don't think I appreciated rum enough before my visit but Isaac explained the history of agricole rum and it was awesome to hear someone so passionate about it. The place has a great atmosphere and it's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

The ambience is off the wall and it matches the drink menu. The drinks are fun and the menu is informative. Highly recommend for your fun and quick stop.

was here a couple of weeks ago. Haven’t been charmed like this in a long time. I must say the following staff were some of the nicest and kindest people I have met: Dylan Marc Little sunshine & Layla Will be back on a weekend to try the DJ and food. Best Margherita in 17 years! Highly recommended.

A very nice experience for a person who appreciate rum. The cocktails are perfectly balanced. Top of my list, for rum based bars in London. If you like a good cocktail, this is for sure, a place to visit. I for one, will be back when Im in London again.

The atmosphere is nice. The interior design is beautiful. The prices are normal—not cheap, but reasonable. The staff is polite. Especially the young female bartender—she is very kind and truly enjoys her job. She practically dances with the bottles. As for the middle-aged gentleman at the door, there’s nothing more to say—he’s great and a true professional. I believe he knows exactly who to let in and who not to. I couldn’t say goodbye to him. I had promised to come back, but I got sick. I hope he reads this. I’m Ali from Turkey.
