A new cocktail bar concept from Nico Simeone has opened in Edinburgh's West End.

Somewhere by Nico Edinburgh is an innovative cocktail experience that redefines what a bar and cocktail experience looks like by blending storytelling, multi-sensory mixology and experience together. With storytelling at the heart of the experience, guests are transformed into adventurers, with mixologists becoming the narrator, through enhanced narratives in every drink.

The design concept based on the cycles of sleep, Somewhere by Nico Edinburgh creates a tranquil backdrop that allows the guest to dream and be transported into another realm. Upon arrival a sense of cocooning is formed with parallel floor and ceiling details to create a sense of comfort and relaxation. Seating styles are soft and comforting, allowing the guest to dream and allowing the cocktail experience to take centre stage.

The bar becomes the theatrical platform with metallic finishes and softened circular elements. Taking advantage of the ceiling heights the space boasts large sculptural lighting elements that are hand crafted and bespoke to the site. Materials such as reflective metallics allows the space to transform with reflection and light, whilst the walls are dressed in textural venetian plaster, creating subtle movement and pattern, artwork plays on illusion and dimensions and adds to the overall sense of ' whimsical' with a nod to the local landscape.

Its mysterious decor takes guests to a fantasy world that will challenge all of your senses during a meticulously curated two-hour cocktail experience for £65 per person, with a 'The Land of Oz' themed menu available until July 21st, when the menu will change and a new theme introduced.

Somewhere by Nico Edinburgh is latest in a string of openings from the Six Company group, including a new flagship Edinburgh location Six by Nico Edinburgh West due to open to the public on July 1st 2024.

Six Company Chief Executive and founder Nico Simeone said;

“We really wanted to raise the bar for ourselves. People are looking for more than just a drink; they want an experience. We believed that to be true and that’s been vindicated; we’ve been blown away by how popular this has proved to be since opening our first location in Glasgow earlier this year. The Edinburgh site is just what we hoped for. It has an exclusive members' club feel but is open to all, complementing the city and tourists who visit it year after year."

Somewhere by Nico Edinburgh is now open in Edinburgh's West End at 39A Queensferry Rd, Edinburgh EH2 4RA.
