The latest 007GB Local Social saw members gather in Birmingham on Saturday 12th July for an afternoon and evening of cocktails, conversation, and a healthy dose of nostalgia.
The day began in style high above the city at Orelle, a stunning 24th-floor bar and restaurant with panoramic views and plenty of Bond-worthy glamour. From there, we moved on to Passing Fancies for another round of cocktails, where more members joined the fun and the Bond banter flowed as freely as the drinks.
As the sun dipped, the night levelled up – literally! – at NQ64, a neon-drenched arcade bar in the heart of the city, where the official social kicked off. With retro beats, themed cocktails, and button-bashing aplenty, this was the perfect setting to relive our GoldenEye 007 glory days on the Nintendo 64 and take a trip down memory lane with dozens of classic arcade machines.
Thanks to David Lowbridge-Ellis MBE, our Editor-in-Chief and host for the evening, and to everyone who came along to make it such a memorable event.
007GB Local Socials … will return!
