Look Inside the World’s First Official James Bond Bar, Now Open for Business
The world’s first official James Bond-themed bar is open for business, but you’ll have to hurry if you’re hoping to stop by.
The 007 recently opened in the Burlington Arcade—an upmarket mall in the heart of London—to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the James Bond films. The pop-up cocktail lounge features two separate bars with custom cocktails crafted by Belvedere, Blackwell Rum, Macallan, and Bollinger. It’s designed in a mod style reminiscent of the Bond films’ 1960’s origins, and will remain open until the end of the year.

The 007 has various props from the franchise on display, including iconic pieces of undercover gear such as the spyhole clock from Goldfinger. Also on display from that film are the title character’s famous shoes, a gold bar from Fort Knox, and the killer hat belonging to villainous Oddjob.

While sipping your shaken (never stirred) martini, you can also glimpse Bond’s two watches which were made in yellow gold. Omega’s Seamaster Diver 300M Commander’s Watch was released in 2017, while Seamaster’s Diver 300M James Bond Limited Edition hit the market in 2019 to mark the 50th anniversary of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Patrons can also marvel at the three golden, hand-crafted models of Bond’s iconic Aston Martin which are hung from the ceiling throughout the pub.

The 007 bar also offers a number of collectibles for the James Bond enthusiast, including a 2024 Christmas advent calendar. Also available are limited-edition framed prints of various Bond actors, and Champagne Bollinger’s Globe-Trotter Champagne case, which holds a magnum bottle along with two glasses.
