Lovely DJ bar on the Portobello Road that gets a fair amount of tourist trade but maintains the atmosphere of a local thanks to the eccentricities of the staff and regulars. The bar tenders are absolutely obsessed with Marvin Gaye (and rightly so) and you can expect at least an hour of classic soul every night.

Reasonably priced, extremely friendly, with a blinding music policy, Mau Mau is a vital part of life round here. They don’t organise events as such but many an evening ends here with punters dancing around in unison and shouting their pleasure. Usually to the strains of Marvin.
