The same team that created the Game of Thrones pop-up bar in D.C. last year is back this spring with a royal wedding-themed bar that will pay tribute to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s upcoming nuptials.
Running from Friday, May 4 to Sunday, May 20, the Royal Wedding pop-up bar will recreate the interior of St. George’s Chapel, with hand-carved replicas of the wedding venue’s ceiling, heraldic flags, faux stained-glass windows, and a special throne room.
“It’s hard not to get swept up in the romance of a royal wedding, especially when it involves a modern, real-life fairytale,” Angie Fetherston, CEO of the Drink Company, said in a statement. “I’ve been a superfan of the royals since I was a kid and knew as soon as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were engaged that we had to bring a slice of their day to all of the fans who want to experience a little bit of the fantasy — fascinators and all.”
While photos of the designs won’t be revealed until later, the full menu was unveiled today. It includes 11 cocktails inspired by the royal family and English springtime that will range in price from $13 to $14.
"Think: martinis, bubbles and Pimm's Cups,” Paul Taylor, Drink Company’s Head of Bar Concepts, said in a statement.
The “God Save the Queen” is a martini — just as the Queen likes — served with a souvenir crown.
The “Kensington Garden Party” is a fresh take on a classic Pimm's cup, made with Pimm's, raspberry Quinquina and sparkling lemon soda.
The “Strawberry Cuppa” has Scotch and Strawberry Vermouth and is served in a tea cup with a shortbread tea cookie.
They also have a spritz-style cocktail made with Aperol, rosé cider, and edible glitter named after the future duchess, called the “Markle Sparkle.”
The “When Harry Met Meghan” is a robust salute to Prince Harry made with Scotch, banana, lemon, and ginger (of course).
The bar is even serving a $5 “Wedding Cake Shot” inspired by the flavors of Meghan and Harry’s wedding cake; it features buttercream-washed vodka, elderflower, lemon and tea.
The Royal Wedding Pop-Up Bar will open at 5 PM every day from Friday, May 4 through Sunday, May 20 — the day after the royal wedding. The bar will open at 7 AM on the day of the royal wedding, May 19, and all proceeds from ticket sales that day will benefit The Invictus Games Foundation, a cause close to Prince Harry’s heart.
