Mau Mau Bar is your typical Notting Hill Bar, small but full of character, intimate and entertaining. It is an authentic little live music bar with a shabby chic appeal that will keep the real musos happy. Mau Mau is a bar that—more than any other on Portobello road—is a living relic of pre-gentrified West London. This old school multicultural melting pot is Bohemian to its core; a mellow, cosy home away from home for many musicians and artists.

Inside it’s small, but that adds to atmosphere created here. It's somewhere where you can bump in to people and get chatting, meet new faces, and a cosy intimate environment to chat to friends you go there with.

Resident cocktails have colourful names like ‘Your Mum’, and with a great selection of rums in stock and some encouragement from the floor, this Notting Hill Bar will get you on the dance floor in no time, as most evenings will find Mau Mau alive with the sound of music. This bar offers everything from salsa to acoustic sets from unsigned artists, open mic nights and DJ sets from with the sounds of RnB, Party Anthems, Garage, Tech and Bashment. Sunday afternoons are a chilled-out affair, where drinkers lounge on well-worn sofas and enjoy local talents jamming into the night. During the day it’s the perfect haven from the hubbub of Portobello Market, and one of West London’s most ‘real’ hang outs (no Notting Hill lovies in here). Mau Mau is, in fact, so retro that it only accepts payments in cash. So leave your plastic at home, put a few cocktails down, and feel the real vibe.
