SIX Company, the Glasgow-based company behind the Six by Nico restaurants, has announced ambitious plans to launch three new venues across the city.
Chief executive and founder Nico Simeone confirmed three new Glasgow openings and a three million pound investment into the city's restaurant scene including a new flagship Six by Nico Glasgow restaurant location in Merchant City.
The other two locations will see the addition of Sole Club in Finnieston, which will pay homage to the original idea that launched the Six by Nico journey - 'The Chippie' - as well as further investment at Six by Nico Byres Road with the introduction of Somewhere by Nico - a new cocktail bar.
Having already opened fifteen sites throughout the UK and Ireland, this marks a new phase for the group with Six by Nico Merchant City (concept below) set to open on January 15 2024 at 64 Albion St.
The existing Glasgow Finnieston Six by Nico location will close on January 14, with Sole Club taking its place. Paying homage to the original creative that kick started the Six by Nico journey - ‘The Chippie’, one side will host a chippie takeaway, looking to offer new twists on the traditional takeaway.
The other side of Sole Club's concept is tucked away, a 22-seat speakeasy-style fish restaurant that takes pride in using the best Scottish ingredients. It will open its doors at 1132 Argyle St, Finnieston in February 2024.
The final investment for the first quarter of 2024 in Glasgow for Six Company will bring a new cocktail tasting experience to Glasgow's West End.
Somewhere by Nico (concept above) will look to redefine what a bar experience looks like by blending storytelling, multi-sensory mixology and experience together. Influenced by Six by Nico, Somewhere will look to create a six stage two hour cocktail experience every six weeks from £60pp. Somewhere by Nico will offer what is believed to be Scotland's first ever cocktail tasting experience with paired dishes and will open in February 2024 at 358 Byres Rd.
Simeone said: “Our team is driven daily by the challenge to constantly create and reinvent. We are dedicated to being different, never resting on our laurels, and continuously striving to create the best customer experiences. Marking our six-year journey with such a significant evolution of experiences in our home town and reaffirming our commitments to the city seems like the best way to celebrate the next stage in our company vision.“
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
