Down an easy to miss stairway by the Gate Picturehouse: 300 agave spirits, cenote inspired light, and one of London's ranked rooms.
Viajante87 hides beneath 87 Notting Hill Gate, through an easy to miss doorway near the Gate Picturehouse and down a flight of stairs. The name means traveler in Spanish, and the room runs on Latin America: 300 agave spirits and signature cocktails built entirely on agave.
The Top 50 Cocktail Bars list placed it at No.17, and The Infatuation and Time Out both filed admiring reviews. The Nudge calls it thoughtful rather than gimmicky, which is rare praise for a themed basement.
Who would hate it? Whisky loyalists and anyone who needs daylight. Everyone else should book.
Black marble tables, towering tropical plants, plush teal velvet, and ceiling lights modeled on the cenotes of Quintana Roo. DesignMyNight's review calls the cocktails trailblazing and the room hidden beneath the streets. It seats small; the bar counter is the best ticket.
Every signature cocktail starts from agave: tequila, mezcal, raicilla, and rarities from the 300 bottle collection, layered with Latin American spices, seeds, and fruit. The Nudge praises sips that push boundaries without gimmicks.
The bar runs a no waste philosophy, repurposing off cuts and leftovers across the menu. Skip the impulse to order a Margarita first; let the bartenders prescribe from the list.
List chasers working the Top 50, Notting Hill locals who found the door, and dates impressed by candlelight twelve steps down. Service draws repeated praise.
