The Little Yellow Door

Fantastic friendly and attentive service, great cocktails at a great price! A cosy atmosphere, music is not loud allowing you to have a chat with your group. Definitely return to this little bar!

We spent quite a bit of time at this place. Even though there was a slight delay with our drinks, the staff handled it well and brought us complimentary shots — as shown in the video. Everyone was really friendly, and the atmosphere was great. The venue offers a bit of everything: good drinks, a playroom, and — from what I’ve heard — it even turns into a club at night. So it’s basically a three-in-one experience! A great spot to enjoy yourself, whether it’s a relaxed afternoon or a fun evening out.

A Perfect Night at The Yellow Little Door. I went to this cocktail bar and I have to say — the experience was truly exceptional. The drinks are crafted with great attention to detail, using top-quality ingredients and a perfect balance of flavors that’s hard to find elsewhere. The bartender Josh really knows his craft, and every cocktail feels like it tells its own story. The location is just as impressive: cozy yet sophisticated, with soft lighting and the kind of background music that lets you talk comfortably without shouting. It’s the kind of place where you end up staying longer than you planned - as usual, an impeccable choice! In short: great drinks, great vibes, and a beautifully designed space. Highly recommended! 🍸✨

Had such a great time at this cocktail bar! The bottomless brunch was amazing. Delicious drinks, tasty food, and a really fun vibe. The staff were friendly and kept the drinks flowing, Josh was such great energy! It was the perfect spot to relax and laugh with my friends. Definitely recommend for a weekend treat!

I came little yellow door for drinks and dinner tonight and Arwen & Nicki literally saved my life with their vibes. Iconic queens, vibes were high, drinks were amazing and food was class. Would recommend to anyone!

I’m writing this because my experience at The Little Yellow Door in Notting Hill was genuinely upsetting and completely unacceptable. What should have been a great night ended with me feeling intimidated, dismissed, and shocked by the behaviour of one of the security staff. My friend and I went into the smoking area and were calmly chatting with two other women who were already outside. Within a couple of minutes, a bouncer—who I later heard being called “Michael”—came over and told all four of us that we had one minute to go back inside. None of us were being loud, disruptive, or causing any issues. The space was small and the venue was busy, so we cooperated and began finishing our cigarette quickly. What I still can’t understand is that he then told my friend and me that we were banned from re-entering the smoking area. It was our first time out there that night, and we had done absolutely nothing to justify being banned. When I calmly asked him why, he completely ignored me. I wasn’t rude, aggressive, or confrontational — he simply refused to speak to me. The lack of explanation felt dismissive and completely unprofessional. I later spoke to the bar manager, Yasmin, who reassured me she would speak to him and that we should be allowed to use the smoking area if we went back out. I appreciated that she at least listened. However, things escalated later in a way I did not expect. Before leaving, my friend and I went downstairs for one last drink. I was still shaken by what happened and wanted to take a short video of the bouncer so I could identify him properly for a formal complaint. The moment I did, he grabbed my hand and snatched at my phone. This happened three times. He told me to stop filming and then said, “If you don’t stop, you’ll see what I’ll do to you.” I find this behaviour threatening, aggressive, and entirely inappropriate for a member of security staff. The fact that he put his hands on me made the situation even more distressing. Another female staff member stepped in, but instead of helping, she dismissed my concerns and refused to direct me to a manager. By this point, I felt completely disregarded and honestly quite shaken. I left the venue feeling singled out, intimidated, and confused about why any of this happened. I still have no explanation for why my friend and I were banned from the smoking area in the first place, and the way the situation was handled only made things worse. The physical contact, the threatening tone, and the refusal to communicate are entirely unacceptable in any venue, especially one that relies on licensed security staff. I’m sharing my experience publicly because no customer should be treated this way. I hope the venue takes this seriously, investigates what happened, and ensures that other guests don’t go through anything similar.

The Little Yellow Door has such a homely, unique vibe — it really does feel like you’ve just walked into a friend’s flat. But what made the experience genuinely unforgettable was Nicki. She brings the whole place to life with her warmth, attention, and effortless charm. She’s the reason the atmosphere feels so welcoming, and why I’d come back again and again.

An amazing place, everyone was incredibly polite, the cocktails were delicious, and the interior is beautifully designed. Nicky, who looked after us, was very kind and gave great recommendations, such a lovely person.

Great place for drinks as they have £5 picante during happy hour. Huge jug of pimms is also available but make sure to ask them to go easy on ice. One thing to complain is the urine smell when we are sitting out side. Would come more often if this issues is fixed

Such a cute fun place to grab a bite and cocktail! Sat at the bar and the staff were delightful. The bartender made a fabulous mocktail!

Discovered the little place after it popped up on our drinki app. From the outside, it's just what you'd expect, a little yellow door with a bouncer stood there. Inside, after climbing the staircase, you arrive into what can only be described as a cosy home complete with a lounge room and even a bedroom. We were greeted very friendly and although the place was busy, they accommodated us with stools at the bar. This was perfect actually as we got to see some of the amazing cocktails being made here, my favourite of which was a pink one garnished with a toasted pink marshmallow. We enjoyed our drinks, the service and definitely the atmosphere. Can't wait to return!

My second visit to the little yellow door made for another fun evening! The space is meant to feel like you are in someone's flat, with charming touches and "personal" belongings are scattered about- even a fish tank. My friend and I were treated to a welcome drink of the house punch, a fruit mix served with a cucumber strip. One we we settled into our tables, we embarked on a three course meal, South American style! The starter platter consisted of duck tostadas, cornbread and chorizo bites, and my favourite- the smoked beef! Our next course was a fresh and slightly spicy clear soup with chicken, prawn and avocado. Finally, we had shredded slow cooked lamb on a bed of polenta with corn salsa and peppers. Everything was flavoured to perfection, succulent and well presented. Desserts were bite sized, and slightly disappointing with an overly minty pannacotta and stodgy banana popover with caramel sauce. Service is always friendly, great atmosphere sharing a large table with a group of strangers! The down side- incredibly overpriced cocktails (circa £10 each, plus service charge despite having to order yourself from the bar) and general overcrowding at the tables, feels a bit like they are trying to cram way too many people in! Tables after dinner are cleared away, transforming the space into a bar. Cool vibe, but be wary if you're a cocktail fanatic!

Cute hidden place in Notting Hill. A small yellow door ground floor, then narrow steps to go upstairs and you are in a quirky room decorated with house usual/unusual objects and 5 in total tables. You will order through your whatsapp application on your phone using emoticons shown on your menu and the food at your table as ordered. A bit dirty when I visited, full of dust everywhere, small portions and no heating (we were freezing!). Brilliant concept but needs improvements on many aspects.

I had high expectations of Little Yellow Door as have heard their food is very good and the concept works well. We booked a table for 2 for Valentines brunch and were looking forward to piles of food and never ending mimosas. If you don't know about this place - well it's basically kitted out like a flat and you get served food! I must have wandered past the door sooo many times walking to Notting Hill and even walked straight past while looking for it! The bouncer let us in and we went up the steep steps and in to their 'living room'. We were 10 minutes early however there were tables free. We were just asked to stand there and he took our order for food and drinks. Our mimosas were brought over at reasonable speed so we just sat ourselves down on the sofas. Just as he was showing us to our table our brunch arrived.... First mistake. By the time we had sat on the little stools (uncomfy) and thrown out coats on the floor (there were hooks out in the hall but weren't offered to us) my pancakes were pretty cold. The presentation wasn't the worst but wasn't outstanding. The most disappointing thing was the size :( 2 small drop scones and a piece of bacon with a few slices of banana and some blueberries. My bf who had ordered the salmon and avocado on sourdough had an equally small portion on one half of an English muffin (not sour dough). The food although small and Luke warm was amazing! Good quality and so well seasoned and cooked (5* for food). We took our time eating it and were served more mimosas pretty quickly but the waiter who took our plates was just so rude. Seriously, he had a face like a slapped arse. The other guy who was seating people and getting drinks was clearly trying but also didn't really seem to know what he was doing. After a few mimosas I was feeling a little bit happier although still a bit peckish. Included within the price was a dessert which was presented well and tasted amazing. Homemade meringue, rose cream, toasted pistachio and berries - mmmm. To be honest at the end of the meal I wasn't hungry, bordering content but not full like you should be after a brunch - it was 3pm and that's all I'd eaten all day! Perhaps this place is made for groups as the seating was shared with other couples and it would be a better experience in a group. However being advertised as a valentine brunch you'd expect them to try and create a romantic atmosphere (maybe the waiter had been recently dumped?). Overall a real let down on service and atmosphere (did I mention they were playing Die Hard?) however food was good - there's no denying it! I just wouldn't return at £30 each for such small portions. P.S this place is more like 5/10 than 3/4! O my gosh and I just remembered - no water or coffee offered for a full 2 hours!

Love this cosy yet elegant place with quirky menu and excellent cocktails! Has a bar/club downstairs and lounge/sofa area upstairs.

I wouldn't have known about this place, if I didn't know where to look. Friendly bar staff (moody doormen), mixed crowd with a feeling like you're in someone's flat. I'll certainly head back soon as the cocktails looked great.

Definitely a very cool experience. Hassle Yo et in but totally worth the effort. Maybe lights could be a tad darker as it feels as daylight in the middle of the night. Cocktails are great and the tropical sour particularly. Cool music, heterogeneous crowd, very special place.
