Ross WS

Sitting in London’s Portobello Road , this kitsch haven of tiki is the best place to wear flowery shirts and drink fruity cocktails in London . If rum is your thing, likely you’ve already been.

Brad T

Tiki bar with amazing cocktails including a sharing drink that comes in a hibachi (not surprisingly I forgot what this is called). Meant for 4 peeps. Do it with 2 and you might die.

Lauren Keith

It's like amazing bartenders have taken up residence in your friend's 1970s basement . Delightfully kitsch . If they installed a Super Nintendo, I'd never leave.

Stuart Cruickshank

The decor is something special, being decked out like a basement from the 70s. The flaming zombie volcano will rock your world. One of the best cocktail experiences in London.

Hannah Parvaz

Dimly lit subterranean cocktail lounge shaking up signature cocktails and guaranteed good times.

Joe Dunster

Not the cheapest place but you gotta love the vibe here, old skool DJ smashing out the tunes and great cocktails . Good place for a party.

Steven Gutierrez

Tiki bar in a great location, fun drinks, retro decoration , tasty food and decent service. There isn't much to dislike apart from the earlyish close time.

Lauren

Great reasonably priced cocktails , great decor! Definitely will be paying a visit again

John Gibbons

Step into the den of awesome for an evening of amazingly delicious and refreshing Tiki drinks made with fresh juices and exotic ingredients.

Matt Bragg

Just ask for your favourite rum cocktail , don't feel you have to choose from the menu

M W

Fun rum bar that takes you back to the 70s. Strong cocktails in an enjoyable environment.

Evening Standard

Knowingly kitsch , and hopefully tongue-in-cheek, Trailer Happiness serves impressively traditional rum cocktails committed to the Californian bartending scene of the 1960s. Read more

Underground tiki lounge with some of the best cocktails in London . Not to be missed.

Hard to get drunk on these cocktails . Very watery, decent taste. Place was empty

Great selection of rum-based cocktails . Hell in the Pacific is my personal favourite.

Home Staging CZ Prague

We are very happy when we go there!! :) Wish they could teleport their cocktails to France...into my living room :)

Chloé Chapman

Don't be a little bit drunk in this place because you'll be asked to drink a litre of water to calm down!!!!

Kenney Marlatt

This underground tiki lounge has a large collection of rare and hard-to-find rums .

Omid Ashtari

Annoyingly it's downstairs but it makes up for it with a 70's vibe and really good cocktails . Music is usually quite loud but funky!

Marcus Sweeney

Always awesome cocktails ... Slowly working my way through the rums

Daniel Apt

Pretty cool when the bar staff did a fire show, blowing alcohol on the ceiling! A place to remember.

Anthony Cameron

Really nice tiki bar with great atmosphere and unusual cocktails

EmeraldStreet

Try the Zombie Volcano Bowl (£20), which is a miniature ceramic volcano , filled with rum , set alight and served with several straws. Read more

The cocktails turned out to be awful with cheap artificial ingredients and flavours, but the pan-asian food is delish!

Juli Foranna Juliero

Try the Lenka Swizze! Very refreshing :)

Blondie

Friendly bartenders who know what they are doing :)

Søren Ragsdale

Only place inside the M25 that can make a truly decent Mai Tai .

Suitably mysterious, followed by excellent service, smiling barstaff. Far less pompous than its Irish cloneterpart. Oh, and a really very tasty, creative cocktail. Thumbs up. - Paul Campbell
