Why it's in the guide

A legendary basement tiki bar that has been a Portobello Road institution since 2003. Kitsch decor modelled on Elvis's Jungle Room at Graceland, with an extensive rum list, colourful tropical cocktails, and DJs on weekends. The cocktail programme is award-winning and taken seriously -- this is not a gimmick bar. Featured on the World's 50 Best Discovery list. Walk down the stairs from Portobello Road into what feels like a different world.
