Distillery, Notting Hill

Noted as CLOSED and repossessed by landlord. Trade press reports in Jan 2025 stated that this will become Permit Room, an all-day bar-cafe, to be operated by Dishoom. Opening spring 2025.

Previously known as the Ground Floor Bar, aficionados of distilled products will find their spiritual home here, right on Portobello Road. There is everything you can think of, including a working distillery in the basement. The place appears very nicely appointed. The six-thousand square foot venue consists of four floors housing a basement visitor centre The Ginstitute, where guests can learn about the history of gin and maybe try the site's own Portobello Road Gin; tickets must be booked in advance via the venue website. The ground floor houses a pub named The Resting Room, with spirits stored in barrels above the bar, while the first floor is home to a Basque-inspired tapas restaurant GinTonica. The top floor houses a private dining room.

Over 100 gins are available and there are a few keg beers, served in half-pints only.

Opening times vary by floor. Opening hours given here are for the ground-floor pub.
