Her Majesty’s Secret Service (HMSS) is a new cocktail bar and punch house, opening in Clifton, Bristol, on 24th July 2015. Offering Bristolians an exciting and easy-‐going environment in which to enjoy quality drinks, HMSS will serve highly creative, fun and experiential cocktails at an exceptionally reasonable price.
HMSS comes from the talented team behind London’s ever-‐popular Cocktail Trading Co, with Ben Alcock, Andy Mil, Olly Brading and Elliot Ball joining forces to create a fresh experience for Bristol. All highly awarded bartenders themselves, and with the freedom and skill to try out new concepts, HMSS will be a creative hub for both consumers and industry insiders to sample new creations day-‐to-‐day as well as at tastings, masterclasses and cocktail events.
Passport to cocktails
The cocktail menu at HMSS will be presented in the style of a passport, offering a continually-‐changing assortment of highly interactive, humorous and impeccably presented cocktails, sharing punches and ‘Faux-‐tails’. HMSS’s ‘Faux-‐ tails’ are a selection of quality non-‐alcoholic cocktails. Created with fresh, seasonal ingredients and with real care in assembly; these drinks will be a far cry from the usual grenadine based concoctions, offering non-‐drinkers a great experience which is not an afterthought.
Classy but quirky interiors
Situated in the site of the old Charlie’s Bar on the doorstep of Clifton Down station, the 80-‐capacity bar’s interiors are classy but quirky. The design has combined themes of industrial, gin-‐palace and espionage to create a regal drinking parlour, humorously described as ‘where Bond would hide from his associates’. Expect vintage upholstered chesterfields, polished oak and gun cabinets. No doubt, the interior will match that of the creators’ brains; inventive, drink-‐obsessed and eclectic.
