Step into our brand-new bar, a bold tribute to the glamour and excess of the ‘70s and ‘80s—think Scarface meets Studio 54. Drenched in rich red hues, glowing neon, and retro-futuristic décor, the space oozes effortless cool with a touch of decadence. The soundtrack is pure nostalgia, spinning disco, funk, and old-school beats that keep the vibe high-energy and undeniably chic. Whether you're sipping a perfectly mixed cocktail at the sleek bar or soaking in the scene from a plush booth, this is where the night truly begins.Open from 6pm - Monday to Saturday - For groups of 10+ please call 0207 881 5991.

    We had a great time as a family of four, with two teenagers at Happy. It was big and loud, but also vibrant, energetic and definitely “Happy”. A vast menu to cater to 4 very different tastes, typical yellow food for the kids made them very happy, adults had quesadillas and guacamole, which were pretty good too. Lots going on, lots to watch, and sing and clap along to. They make a fuss if it’s your birthday, which is sweet.

    This was our second visit and the food was excellent once more. Our only gripe was that the Peking duck arrived whilst we were still eating our starters. Please allow us to finish a course first.

    Very nice Italian restaurant with the nicest staff and greatest food on a easily accessible and strategically located location. We were there on New Year's Day and I made a reservation an hour before arrival. When I made my reservation I mentioned my husband's birthday and without further notice they came with fireworks at dessert and the whole restaurant sang Happy Birthday. Thank you for this nice experience! Love from the Netherlands. We will definately come back to L'ulivo Villiers.
