Trailer Happiness reviews
Great cocktails and a great ambience. The fact that I met the most beautiful girl in the world there on a date was the icing on the cake!
by TimboTrolleybus, 17 Mar 2008A really cosy friendly place, with great tunes. An excellent place to hang out on a Friday or Saturday night if you don't fancy clubbing but still want a bit of a beat.
by stridingout, 27 Jan 2007Love it here on Saturdays - always intend on going for a couple of evening drinks, then end up staying till closing. Great crowd, very pretty people, uni-sex toilets (always a plus), amazing cocktails and wicked bar staff. What more can you ask for?
by mister.dave (3 reviews), 04 Aug 2006The last time I was in there with a mate we waited at the bar whilst one barman set alight to it and showed off his craft to the people who had ordered an inferno of cocktails.
We waited and waited... and waited (there were only three other people at the bar). The other barman was so twitted he fell over the bar while grinning at the girl whose change he was trying to return and really looked like he wasn't going to recover, so we left fireman sam to carry on with the pyros and went.
I'm amazed this place is still open after my first visit over a year ago, so on that fact alone 4/5.
Amazing place, fantastic drinks, shame about the rude jumped up waiter who ruined the evening. If you are reading, change your attitude, you are a bar tender not royalty!
But still a great place.
One of my best friends works here - love the Snow Angel Martini - fantastic!
by stylebird (4 reviews), 28 Nov 2005I went for the first time this weekend gone, very impressed. cocktails worthy of any bar in the smoke coupled with a cool relaxed atmosphere. The bartenders are hot!
by Anonymous, 13 Jul 2005Just plain fun. Consistently eclectic music. Relaxed / friendly / attractive crowd. Suits appear to stay away, and the world is better for it.
by Anonymous, 13 Apr 2005Best to get there early at the weekends or book (I'm never that organised!) but well worth the journey - the place rocks.
I love it at the start of the week Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday when you can really pick the brains of the bartenders - endless knowledge ensures a stream of amazing drinks.
Just go!
Not the only place to drink in Notting Hill but one of the best. Flaming zombies served up in earthenware volcanoes, friendly staff and a chilled out vibe, but really it's all about the rum. As usual, the weekend is a bust as the place gets swamped with locals and out-of-towners. Best go on Monday - Thursday.
by Anonymous, 18 Mar 2005Trailer Happiness has a funky vibe filled with the beautiful people of Notting Hill. It's rammed on Saturdays though so either phone ahead to get a place or turn up early.
by capital girl "top london reviewer" (59 reviews), 01 Feb 2005The only place to drink in Notting Hill, full marks.
by Anonymous, 28 Sep 2004Awesome staff serving up well made and inventive cocktails as well as all the old faves... well worth a visit either early in the week for chill times or at the weekend for a throbbing par-tay!
by Anonymous, 03 Jul 2004There really weren't many decent bars in Notting Hill a few years ago - this place, Electric and Lonsdale have changed all that. Trailer H is down to earth, relaxed and reasonably priced, but the cocktails beat almost anything you'll find in the more expensive Soho bars. Each time I've been here I've let the bar staff recommend our drinks and have never been disappointed - endlessly inventive and lovingly prepared drinks using the best ingredients.
It's a bit loud, especially if you end up next to one of the speakers, so I'd recommend trying to get the booth with the big Tiki-girl print, which is more relaxed and intimate than the rest of the bar.
Have we missed a great bar in London? Let us know.
