About Portobello Star
The old gin palace on Portobello Road has been pouring drinks since 1740, and we've kept that spirit alive with our handmade liquor infusions that you won't find anywhere else. Our ground floor bar buzzes with the energy of Notting Hill locals and visitors, while upstairs in the Apartment, we've created something special - a private space that feels like hosting friends in your own home, minus the cleanup afterwards. We specialise in crafting our own spirit infusions right here behind the bar, turning them into signature cocktails that have become our calling card. The Apartment overlooks the famous market street below, giving your guests a bird's eye view of Portobello Road's constant theatre. With room for 50 people standing, it's perfect for birthday celebrations, engagement parties, or those industry launches where you want somewhere more personal than a typical venue. For bigger celebrations, we can open up the entire Portobello Star to accommodate up to 150 guests. Your party gets its own dedicated bartender who knows our cocktail menu inside out, plus we can arrange DJs, live music, or whatever entertainment fits your vibe. We also run cocktail masterclasses where your group learns to make our signature drinks - always a hit for hen parties or team celebrations. While we don't have a kitchen, we work with the best local restaurants to bring in food that matches what we do with drinks. Getting here is straightforward - we're a short walk from both Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill Gate stations. The Apartment has become our most requested space for parties. There's something about being above the market crowds, drink in hand, surrounded by friends in what feels like a secret hideaway, that makes any celebration feel special.
