Portobello Star, at 171 Portobello Road, has been named as a runner-up in the "Best New Bar" category in this year's Eating & Drinking Awards by Time Out magazine. Although not technically new - it's been there for years - it has undergone quite a transformation recently to make it one of the must-go places in Notting Hill.

Time Out commends the bar for its "interesting take on drinks old and new" and says that its a "cocktail haven".

Sounds like the kind of place I'll be this weekend!
