It's not that I think the place is average, i quite like it here. But I'd never make a special trip to come here, and I'm actually not sure that I'd make a point of coming back. That to me = three stars.
Took a while to find (no, I don't know why either, it's a bit of a eyesore, and you'd think the peoople sitting outside would be a bit of a giveaway), and the barstaff are very friendly. Cocktails are tasty (and cheap - rare you get a cocktail for under £7 these days - and in West London!)
Its a nice place. Laid back enough to have a chat, but still lively. But there wasn't anything blowing me away. Not even my cocktail. If you're a Tiki bar, I expect your rum cocktails to kick ass, rather than just be "very nice".
The three stars was cemented by the toilets. For some reason the men have to walk through the ladies to get to their loos. NO. Just no. You've ruined all sorts of bathroom gossiping right there. And honestly, I think there's some things that should be kept separate. Bathroom habits are one of them.
Pop in if you're right by (and don't walk up the little stairs next to it) but don't get on a train to come here.
Trailer Happiness is a fantastic fun laid back bar. The crowd is relaxed and the bar staff know what they are doing and make great cocktails. The food’s not bad either if you find yourself needing a snack.
The downside is that because it is small it can become quite crowded on the weekend, and no room for dancing to the great tunes the DJ puts on. Also it closes quite early, the web site says until late but I wouldn’t call 12:30am late.
Held my wife’s Birthday party here a few years ago in the den. Nice relaxed venue. Fun and informal but does get a little too busy at times. Its nice to be able to book space in a bar in Notting Hill in advance though. Cocktails were good.
What? I haven’t reviewed this bar yet? It’s fun place to drink … with the only thing being taken seriously are the booze and the cocktails! Proper drinks here.
Sadly, I think the quality’s dropped (and the competition’s increased) since Trailer H came along and helped revolutionize the London drinking scene. Still, it’s a gem.
I organised a cocktails evening one night with a group of friends at Trailer Happiness and we were more than happy by the end of the night. The place is very kitsch with cocktails to match. We missed out on booking the “Den” area which is a private little area but had an area reserved for us nonetheless. The cocktails were fabulous and we even dared trying the Zombie cocktail which came out looking like a volcano with steam rising! Not for the faint hearted, let me tell you. They even claim on their website “All of our Tiki drinks are absolutely guaranteed to be dangerous and delicious”. Just what you want right!
located in the very cool Nottinghill area of london this little gem is a joy. On entering the downstairs you are faced with a dark but well lit small bar. Offering good seating and a bar with a great variety of drinks. From bottled beer to over the top cocktails, it can cater for everyone. Mainly though this place is for the trnedy, wealthy and celeb hunting people. Not one to be missed if you in the area for a friday or saturday night!
