Stables Bar in Kensington

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!
