Trailer Happiness
177 Portobello Road Notting Hill London W11 2DY
An unashamedly retro bar, Trailer Happiness aspires to the 'feel of a low rent, mid-60s California valley bachelor pad' – not a bad place to be for a relaxed theme bar, and they carry off the shag pile and cork tiles look well. The bar is the thing, with a bunch of tiki-themed drinks, which don't come cheap but are the perfect accompaniment to the surroundings. There are DJs most nights too, and not just spinning Sixties sounds – art for sale, all in keeping, naturally – and they do food too, though mainly snacks; it's not a huge food place.
