Back in December, The Six Company announced three openings for 2024: a flagship Six By Nico restaurant in Merchant City, Sole Club and Somewhere By Nico. Well, now it is time to say goodbye to Sole Club, the speakeasy fish restaurant hidden behind a chippie.
Sole Club has officially closed its doors on January 5, and is being replaced by Extra_Ordinary on January 31, a Pan-Aisan restaurant headed by Chef Tobias Fiegel.
The very first Six by Nico opened its doors in Finnieston in 2017 introducing its famous ‘chippie’ menu, owned by Nico Simeone. Ever since the company has been received extremely positively around the UK: now, with 17 venues in ten cities across the UK, like Edinburgh, Manchester, and London, as well as Dublin. Going back to his roots, Chef has opened Glasgow’s newest addition with a soulful fish menu, perfect for that much-needed foodie hit.
Opened on February 28 in Finnieston, Sole Club was a hidden fish restaurant behind a fridge door of a takeaway. The spot seated only 20 people, boasting an intimate, trendy atmosphere.
The menu had a blissful selection of unique seafood dishes, creatively presented with a plethora of unexpected flavours. Guests can enjoy a six-course tasting menu, The Chippie Club, with dishes ranging from scampi to fish like Black Pollock. Please note this menu is only available on Tuesdays.
What is more, Sole Club has recently introduced The Club Classics menu for those after a quick, but nice, lunch.
And for those who are after a comforting takeaway, the chippie serves the usual favourites like fish and chips, a Fish Finger Butty or the Lobster and Crayfish Roll. All that and more is available for collection and delivery through Deliveroo.
Chef Nico Simeone said: “Finnieston is special to us, it’s where it all began for Six by Nico. When we decided to move to a bigger venue in the Merchant City, it was never a question of giving up the venue; it’s too big a part of our story. But for me, it’s always about ‘what’s next’? How can we take the ethos, thought process, and creativity behind Six by Nico and channel it into a completely new and original concept?”
