Trailer Happiness is a retro-California lounge in the Notting Hill section of London, opened by John Downey in 2003.

Rather than finding its inspiration in midcentury Polynesian restaurants, it aimed for the feel of an American, kitsch-heavy, basement rumpus room.

The tiki-heavy drink menu was developed with a helping hand from famed cocktailian Dale DeGroff.

They proclaimed over 300 rums behind the bar.

The bar changed hands and has been owned by Sly Augustin since 2012.

For many years, patrons were greeted by Bianca the topless hula girl statue in the front window, but it appears Bianca has gone on vacation for parts unknown in recent years...

Augustin has made changes and updates since the early years, and especially after a disaster that happened to the bar right on the heals of Covid...

On July 12th, 2021, the location was flooded, but since then, they've been able to deal with the damages, do extensive remodeling, and re-open thanks in great part to help from the bar and spirits industry who have been very supportive and consider the location to be an iconic part of the bar landscape.
