A spectacular and lavish cocktail bar and lounge is set to make its debut in Edinburgh's West End this December.
Encore is located below the grand and bustling Parisian style West End Brasserie restaurant on Hope Street in Edinburgh will open its doors on December 1st 2023.
The new late night speakeasy will offer a relaxed and lively atmosphere with live music and sophisticated performance nights where guests can evade the realm and unlock a new level of merrymaking.
The cocktail menu pays homage to Paris' exuberant and spectacular Bohemian style. Encore's vivid, playful drinks have a lineage that rests in more classic cocktails, echoing the opulent and lavish flair of one of the most iconic Parisian districts - mixing historical with a modern score. Bringing together all refined lifestyle entertainment in one spectacular space, with small plates, cocktails, performance and music, Encore is a destination of extravagance and opulence where you may experience pure, unadulterated fun.
Encore is the latest venture from hospitality group Caledonian Heritable, whose property portfolio includes Edinburgh landmark The Dome, luxury golf and spa resort Archerfield House, and multi-award winning nightclub Why Not Club and Rose Street Gardens in Edinburgh City Centre.
Set to be the city's most glamorous cocktail bars, Encore will offer a signature menu of Scottish and French classics reinvented with the finest ingredients. From Beef Carpaccio to French onion soup dumplings and Charcuterie to share, Encore will offer delicious food paired perfectly with cocktails for any occasion.
The flamboyant interior creations will take inspiration from Paris's Moulin Rouge and La République district. As you enter, guests will be immediately dazzled by a certain je ne sais quoi lighting installation and entrance hall and the bar lounge will feature chic red velvet sofas, rich textile upholstery and uniquely, every group table is a booth. Encore is a speakeasy venue where Fashionwear is welcome and activewear is not.
Caledonian Heritable Area Manager, Jay Glass said:
"We are thrilled to bring this exciting new concept to Edinburgh’s West End. Encore complements our beautiful Brasserie upstairs, and I believe it will be a welcome addition to the city. We recognise how important the experience is to our visitors, from the warm welcome to our show-stopping cocktails, rotating guest DJs and live performances, we want to WOW! our guests and make it a night to remember no matter what the occasion. Our talented team has come up with an incredible food and drinks menu that we think people will love and we are really excited to share this with everyone from the 1st of December".
