THE Macallan at the spy bar

Deeply atmospheric with a hint of the illicit, The Spy Bar pays homage to the plethora of spies whose secrets were guarded by the walls of the Old War Office. It is located in two former rooms that were numbered 006 and 007 in the early 20th century and functioned as high security storage vaults for identity papers and mission reports of MI5 and MI6 agents. The entrance lobby to The Spy Bar was once a guard room while other rooms along this corridor were used for briefing, debriefing and interrogating spies before and after going into the ‘field’.
