About This Pub
Ah, Stables Bar at the Milestone Hotel – what a gem it is, tucked away in the heart of Kensington. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really shines with its creative cocktails that are as fun as they are delicious; think unique twists and presentations that'll have you coming back for more. The staff are an absolute highlight, always attentive and full of great recommendations, making every visit feel personal and memorable – it's no wonder folks rave about chaps like Angelo and Cristian. The atmosphere is spot on too, with that cosy mix of dark wood, leather seats, and a light-filled conservatory that creates a refined yet comfortable vibe for intimate gatherings or a relaxed evening. On the flip side, it's got that upscale hotel feel, which might not suit everyone if you're just after a laid-back pub crawl; plus, being in such a swanky spot, you might find the prices a bit steep for regular jaunts. All in all, it's a brilliant choice if you're looking to treat yourself or celebrate something special, but perhaps not ideal for those everyday, no-nonsense drinks with friends. Give it a go if you're in the area – I reckon you'll have a cracking time!

As a bartender myself, I enjoy checking the best bars in London for the experience and skills uplift. The team at The Stables Bar went above and beyond to provide an upscale attentive service, with great recommendations, with the Peaky Blinders being our top favourite. Special thanks to Victoria, Cristi and Angelo for making our evening so special! We are definitely returning guests!
My favorite bar in London and maybe the world. Delicious, fun, and pretty cocktails. Great service (Angelo was great!). Great food and free snacks. Great atmosphere/decor (both during the day and at night).
We came here to celebrate a friends birthday and it was such an excellent experience! The food and cocktails were so tasty and creative. The atmosphere was intimate and elegant. Cristian and Angelo were our waite staff and they were fantastic! Very attentive and made the experience feel very personal and individual. They were the reason we had such a good experience. They made sure our friend had a really special birthday. This is a very nice cocktail bar with, quality cocktails, service and decor that matches the price tag. We can't recommend this place enough!!
We had a wonderful time at Stables Bar. The staff was very attentive and kind and made us feel like royalty here! Drinks were uniquely crafted and presented in beautiful glassware. Cristian and Angelo provided the best experience on our first stop in London!
What an amazing experience! Angelo was very hospitable and gave us an unforgettable experience and even gave us tips for our next city. The drinks were amazing and I’d return for the drinks and service any time I’m in London. Thank you Angelo!
