The Cocktail Trading Company to open permanent site
The Cocktail Trading Company is to open a permanent site in east London on 18 January 2016, one week after the planned closure of its pop-up in the city's Soho on 11 January.
Named the Cocktail Trading Company Brick Lane (to be known as CTC Brick Lane), the new site will be on the corner of Brick Lane and Bethnal Green Road, and will be the brand's new flagship location. All cocktails will be priced at £9 each, and focus on rare and unusual spirits from around the world.
Each drink will be served in original "bespoke vessels", aiming to be visually unusual and appealing, and there will also be a small, in-house distillery behind the bar.
Their pop-up, the 50-capacity CTC Development Bar & Table, first opened in January this year, and is located below an all-day brasserie in London's Great Marlborough Street. It will close before CTC Brick Lane opens.
The group also runs the 80-capacity cocktail bar Her Majesty's Secret Service, which opened in Bristol in July 2015, and was described as aiming to be the kind of place in which "James Bond would hide from his associates".
