The new Edinburgh location will feature live music performances as well as a special £7 cocktail offer available Monday through Thursday.
Featured drinks include the Diamonds are Forever sharer, which consists of Bacardi Carta Blanca, watermelon, kiwi, cranberry, apple, lime, and soda poured from a giant diamond.
A food menu will also be available offering the NY club bagel, the karagee chicken bowl and bao buns as well as steak frites.
As well as this, it will see the arrival of Manahatta’s “boozy brunch” which will run until 8pm daily while the venue will also cater to private events such as birthdays, corporate events or Christmas gatherings.
Martin Wolstencroft, CEO of Arc Inspirations, commented: “Edinburgh is the perfect city for our debut in Scotland, and we’re excited to introduce our new interior design concept to this vibrant location.
"With a significant £2.45 million investment in the site, we’re eager to offer an elevated and unique experience that captures the essence of New York in Scotland’s capital, complete with top-notch entertainment and a dynamic atmosphere.”
Arc Inspirations already has 17 bars across nine locations in the UK, including Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Sheffield, York and Harrogate.
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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
