BÓHA London

BÓHA is a luxurious bar and restaurant located on King's Road, filled with lush foliage, wooden furnishings and elegant hanging lights. They offer an extensive selection of wines here, as well as a British and Irish-inspired menu of sizzling steaks, black cod curry and more. And for fans of hidden bars, be sure to check out The Shibeen downstairs - a 1920s-inspired speakeasy serving signature cocktails and small plates, with regular DJ sets to boot.

Dolce London

Sitting in South Kensington is Dolce, London's premier spot for VIP late night partying. With e-shisha, a live DJ and dancing until 3am, it's no wonder this Chelsea spot is always bustling. You can also kick back with some signature sips on their extensive cocktail menu.

The Boundary SW6

Welcome to your new favourite spot on Kings Road. We're more just a pub - we're a community hub where good company meets great times. Whether you're here to catch live music, cheer on your favourite team…

The Knox

The Knox brings the glamour of the 1970s and 80s underworld to the heart of Chelsea. Think Scarface meets Studio 54. Its plush velvet, statement print interiors are the perfect place to sip on a signature cocktail or nibble on small plates and Cuban sandwiches.

If you're here to dance the night away, expect an equally nostalgic playlist. Resident DJs cover the best of the decades, banging out deep soul cuts, funk classics and disco anthems.

Paloma Chelsea

Saturday Spotlight at Paloma Chelsea is your main event moment of the week. Glamour, music, and premium cocktails collide to create a Saturday night that feels a little bit special, a little bit cinematic, and totally unmissable. Tickets start at £22, making it a lively and stylish night out that doesn't break the bank.

The focus here is all on energy: the perfect soundtrack, a buzzing crowd, and the kind of atmosphere that keeps the drinks flowing and the dancefloor moving. 

The Wee Sister

Tucked away on Chelsea's super cool King's Road, The Wee Sister is an intimate Irish wine bar created by acclaimed chef Anna Haugh. All low lighting, exposed timber and elegant seating, it's perfect for date night, post-work drinks or casual catchups over a bottle or two.

Expect fine wines from around the world alongside the best Irish producers, the Black Stuff on tap and all kinds of creative cocktails. There's plenty to snack on while you're here too, from sourdough with traditional Irish butter to charcuterie and cheeses.
