Six, the Glasgow-based company behind Six by Nico restaurant concept, has announced plans to launch three new venues in the city.

Chief executive and founder Nico Simeone said £3m will be invested into the new restaurant openings, 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’, offering new twists on the traditional takeaway.

There will also be further investment at Six by Nico Byres Road with the introduction of Somewhere by Nico - a new tasting cocktail bar concept.

Six already operates 15 sites throughout the UK and Ireland.

Six by Nico Merchant City is set to open on January 15 at 64 Albion St.

The existing Glasgow Finnieston Six by Nico location will close on January 14, with Sole Club taking its place.

On the other side of Sole Club’s concept is a 22-seat speakeasy-style fish restaurant. 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 will look to blend storytelling and multi-sensory mixology.

Influenced by Six by Nico, Somewhere will look to create a six-stage two-hour cocktail experience every six weeks from £60pp. It 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.”
