About This Pub
Ah, K Bar – what a gem tucked away in the heart of South Kensington. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really shines with its incredible cocktails that are crafted with real flair and precision; it's like the bartenders are mind readers, whipping up drinks that perfectly match your mood. The staff are an absolute delight, always ready with a smile and a chat, making you feel right at home, whether you're a local or just visiting from afar. It's got that cosy, elegant feel that's ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring London, and the reviews rave about the welcoming vibe that keeps folks coming back. On the flip side, it does start late in the afternoon, which might not suit those after a lunchtime pint, and being in a posh hotel setting, it could stretch the wallet a bit more than your run-of-the-mill pub. All in all, if you're up for some top-quality tipples and a bit of pampering, I'd say give it a go – it's a solid choice for a sophisticated evening without the stuffiness.

Cons
-
It doesn't open until 3 PM, which might feel a bit late if you're after an earlier tipple.
-
As it's part of a hotel, things can lean towards the upscale side, so prices might be a tad higher than your average local spot.

The focus is firmly on cocktails, so if you're craving a traditional pint or hearty pub grub, it might not quite hit the mark.

Fabulous service.
I was served by a lovely young lady named Diana. Her service at the bar was phenomenal, she made me feel comfortable and welcomed she also went out of her way to speak to me about my work and day. Perfect service.
Would recommend to come visit and you are lucky if you get to experience the energetic service of Diana.
We visited The K Bar in London from San Francisco and were absolutely blown away! The cocktails were unbelievable—easily some of the best we’ve had anywhere. John, the bartender, crafted incredible drinks tailored to our tastes with creativity and precision. We were also lucky to be served by Voey two nights in a row—he was warm, attentive, and truly excellent. This place is a gem, and we can’t wait to come back!
We had a fantastic time at K Bar. Jonatan and the staff provided one of the best and most hospitable bar experiences we’ve had anywhere. The drinks were all well balanced, creative, and amazing.
During our time in London, we’ve gone to many of the marquee cocktail bars, but K Bar was by far our favorite (despite not even staying at the Kensington). We’ve finished our night here three times during a week long visit.
We can’t speak highly enough of Jonatan and the crew at K Bar. They’re knowledgeable, provide great service, and are very warm and welcoming. We’ll be back!
K bar is one of my favorite spots in Kensington. A cozy cocktail bar with perfect drinks made by a genius staff. Stefano is a true magician and can creates unique cocktail that are not to be missed.
