LV Lounge is a great local drinking spot in the Little Venice vicinity…read more Full of locals, this classy hole-in-the-wall is a great place to come for pre-West End clubbery drinks or to spend the duration of the evening. I love the decor at the LV Lounge - tasteful monochrome is the theme throughout the bar, with contrasting hints is always a hit with me. The over-sized mirrors and decorative drinking glasses provide a warped sense of Alice In Wonderland style perspective while there... Especially after a few of their carefully crafted cocktails! Service is always top-notch here. I would say that this is the area that brings the majority of the repeat custom to this place. Friendly and welcoming, funny and sincere. Always fantastic. The little kid in me is always awakened when I am on the lower level to this place... THEY HAVE OLD-FASHIONED SWEETS DOWN THERE! Yup, Refreshers, Banana Skids, Love Hearts, Fizzers... It makes me want to go there right now, for that alone. The LV Lounge has food delivery arrangements with local top-notch restaurants. My preference is to have sushi delivered while supping a few drinks. What more can ask for? So all in all, a fantastic, one-of-a-kind Lounge Bar. Without a doubt, my favourite place of it's kind in London.

This place was lovely. Small cozy place with absolutely amazing cocktails. This is a really nice…read moreplace to cozy around with dim lights and great music. It is a little out of the way but completely worth it. The owners are so warm and hospitable. The vibe of he place is good. It falls somewhere near upscale but not very. I would highly recommend this place for a romantic night with amazing cocktails.

Mind your step on Walton Street, you might slip and fall into 1992…read more But once you're there, it's not so bad, really. Neon's still pretty hot, and black leather and Asian prints are even hotter. In fact, you start to get very comfortable very quickly... Clinton's president, you're listening to Arrested Development rather than watching it (and waiting anxiously for the movie...) and Billy Ray is paving the way for Miley's acting lessons with his "Achy Breaky Heart." Snarky 90s-swanktastic decor criticisms aside, (hey, if Kate Moss can dig it, I'm sure I'm the lame duck in this story, not the interior decorator), the reason these fine folks are receiving 4 stars is their cocktail list. Classic and creative, I sampled one of the finest Sloe Gin's I've ever had the pleasure of sipping. My Rosmary Martini involved honey flavoured vodka shaken with fresh rosemary, and I oogled the fresh fruit selection they have at the bar to quench anyone's fruity-drink fantasy. This is certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but who wouldn't want to feel like they're in Miami Beach on any chosen weeknight?

Vendome is one of the fashionista hotspots - if you are lucky (or unfortunate depending on your…read moreopinion) enough to get invited to any London Fashion Week parties, the chances are Vendome will be one of the venues. It is a lovely bar/club with some nice seating areas although you will usually have to reserve one in advance. Lots of purple lighting, red suede seating and shiny floors and a mixed crowd who tend to include the 'it' people of London. The drinks are on the expensive side as you would imagine - around £8 for a spirit and mixer (although if you get invited here for an event make sure you make the most of the free champagne!). The music is fun - ranging from R&B, Hip Hop and Dance with the occasional famous guest DJ. Yes, it is on the pretentious side and not your jeans and trainers kind of place but you can certainly have a fun time here.

Went here for a late night drink after dinner. We only had one drink each. Mine tasted decent. I'd…read morebe curious about coming back to try other options from the menu. The server (maybe a manager) was very welcoming and helpful. Worth a stop if you're just looking to stay out a little longer at night.

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.

This is a tiny little bar where I go if I am in Portobello area, recommened to me by my dad's crazy…read morefriend on the premise that it is one of the only bars in the area that still retains its own little sense of character. And he is right! this place is really cool, it is a shame it is small. Although I do reckon the intimacy would be lost if it is any bigger, it is just hard to squeeze in there sometimes on a busy night. If you can, get on the big, squasy leather arm chairs- very comfy. They serve amazing cocktails including one called 'you mum'. Am planning to try that next. Suits the slightly er.. bohemian vibe. Drinks are not too badly priced, but it is not the sort of place where you would be buying too many, just one or too to have a nice chat with mates before you hit the town for bigger and glitzier places. Mau Mau is just chilled out with live music every now and then and all sorts of other events. Just go there and check out what is going on!

It's relatively small which is part of its charme. There are a few tables near the stage towards the back of the bar - with gents and ladies on either side of the stage. Or if you're lucky you may get a stool at the bar as you arrive. There's always a crowd of smokers hanging out on Portobello.
