London Cocktail Club to open three venues next month

The new 3,500sq ft site in Corn Street, central Bristol, will open on 18 November with a 1,500sq ft venue at 78 Queen Victoria Street, central London, launching on 22 November. This will be followed by the opening of the 2,861sq ft site in Gun Street, central Reading, on 25 November. 

The three openings will take the group’s total number of sites to 22, with an additional 11 sites currently in legal negotiations and a further 10 sites under offer, across several of the group’s brands.

Nightcap has reported strong trading across the group ‘ahead of management’s expectations’, and says its London sites are trading ‘particularly robustly’ having benefitted from London Cocktail Month throughout October.

“We continue to see strong trading across the Group and are delighted to announce the beginning of our ambitious opening schedule for our various brilliant bar brands. We are bringing forward our opening schedule for the roll-out of the London Cocktail Club ahead of the important Christmas trading period,” says Nightcap CEO Sarah Willingham.

“The first London Cocktail Club site outside London, in Bristol, was launched in 2018 and has been very successful. We look forward to opening our second Bristol site in the prime Corn Street location. The Corn Street site will be the brand’s biggest to date and is ready to host up to 300 people.”

“I am so proud of how hard the teams have worked to ready the brands for nationwide roll-out, including the impressive November 2021 bar opening schedule.

This has been achieved alongside growing the pipeline of new potential prime sites across the country and is a testament to the talent, collaboration and focus within the businesses.”

Nightcap intends to announce the group’s results for the year ended 27 June 2021 on 15 November.
