Viajante 87 is a beautiful, stylish bar. The perfect setting for a date or a night out with friends. The cocktails are fantastic and the wait staff were all excellent: friendly, attentive, and really doing their best to give us a great experience.
Unfortunately, the night was completely overshadowed by the behavior of the floor manager, Joe. From the moment we arrived as a large group, he was aggressive, rude, and seemed more focused on controlling us than helping us enjoy our night. We were not allowed to order drinks at the bar (despite it being empty most of the night) and were instead forced to place all our orders through the waiters who handled the chaos with professionalism, in sharp contrast to Joe’s attitude.
Joe repeatedly hassled our group, herding us like cattle into a cramped area and even cordoningnour area refusing to let us sit at the bar or at any of the empty tables, all under the excuse that they were "reserved" even though they remained unoccupied for hours. His behavior was unnecessarily hostile and completely out of step with the otherwise warm vibe of the place.

Went here again yesterday and it didn't disappoint!
Love the team of this bar, very friendly and kind, always a great vibe. The cocktails never disappoint, the Blood Moon was incredible! Also, great DJs with Andy Faisca behind the decks!

Everybody is so welcoming since you set foot through the door. Service is really great! Everybody in the team is kind and attentive! Davide and Danilo took the time to answer all our questions.

For those who love sour and bitter like me, I recommend the "Pechuga" and "Bitter Giuseppe". They also have a great selection of Agave spirits. I recommend the Mezcal "Lost explorer". The music is fun and uplifting and there is such a great vibe in the air! I'll...

In collaboration with founder Markus Thesleff, the experienced duo was tasked with bringing a new direction to Viajante87 in West London.
Staying true to the ethos of Viajante, which means traveler in Spanish, Pietro Collina and Veronica Di Pietrantonio have designed a bar program that will celebrate exceptional cultures, unfamiliar ingredients and evocative experiences from around the world.
