Pavona Bar, West Hampstead, NW6

Bar restaurant with a keg only selection.

Visited 18/08/25. Visited previously as the Luna Gin Bar on 19/12/23. No cask. Keg offering of Mahou plus the Camden staples of Hells, Pale and Stout. Wasn't sure if this place was going to be open as was closed without sign of life on my previous visit to the postcode area. Turned out it is currently a soft open pending completion of the work on the new kitchen! There is a small no of tables outside the front protected by a large awning that would keep them in play in adverse weather. Inside, this glass fronted venue has modern wood block flooring with colour coordinated velvet seating at tall or regular marble topped tables. The bar counter is on the rear part of the right-hand side, and they have retained the illuminated moon like bar counter with tall stool seating at the bar counter. Walls are bare bricked and there is a staircase at the rear taking you up to a mezzanine seating area supported by a couple of pillars in the front part of the bar counter. There is also a basement bar, but it was closed on my visit. A TV above the door was switched off and the sound provided by a local radio station rather than the mood music I would have expected of such a venue. Lighting was very ambient.

Visited on 19/12/23 as part of a tour of West Hampstead venues. Now called the Luna Gin Bar. Ok place of its type and very festive with a large Xmas party going on during my visit. No particular recollection of beers as opted for a glass of red wine!
