Somewhere by Nico welcomes guests to step into the thrilling world of 'Murder on the Midnight Express,' the brand’s latest theme offering a truly unique and unforgettable cocktail experience inspired by the classic game of suspense.

Now open for bookings until 24th November, this gripping new theme invites guests in Edinburgh and Glasgow to test their detective skills and unravel the mystery aboard the Midnight Express.

The adventure kicks off with the shocking murder of Gustave Laroche, the esteemed chef of the train's restaurant. Gustave, who had been enjoying a drink before his service, was tragically shot in his own kitchen. The culprit was careless, leaving behind a trail of clues for guests to discover and piece together in their quest to solve the crime.

Guests can expect each cocktail course to be served with Somewhere by Nico’s creativity and theatrical flair alongside an intriguing clue to help them solve the case. A diverse and intriguing cast of characters - each with ties to Gustave - and their own potential motives will be introduced to guests throughout the experience, with every cocktail taking them a step closer to unravelling the murder mystery.

For £45 per person, guests can enjoy a captivating storytelling evening featuring five cocktail courses. An optional bonus cocktail is available alongside an extra clue, enhancing the mystery-solving experience. This immersive menu has been created with Scottish game designer, Rosalyn Meney, curating a bespoke murderous tale solved through cocktails. It is designed to get mind's racing and truly delight the senses, offering a unique and memorable night out.

Rooted in the same ethos that made Six by Nico a beloved culinary destination, Somewhere by Nico has been created from a passion for crafting unforgettable experiences with a commitment to creativity & a goal to deliver an unmatched, unique experience every six weeks. Much like the foundation, Somewhere by Nico will continue to surprise and delight guests with new themes every six weeks, featuring an inventive cocktail menu that invites guests to step into an immersive experience.

Whether you’re in the mood for a cocktail tasting journey or turning a night out into an adventure, Somewhere offers something for everyone.

After the success of capturing the imagination of guests with its otherworldly cocktail experiences, Somewhere by Nico is now also welcoming walk-ins and bar reservations to explore their new cocktails and drinks, offering the discovery of the venue for all.

Bookings can be made via: Edinburgh / Glasgow

Nico Simeone, CEO and Founder of Six Company said: “As we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, we're thrilled to introduce our latest cocktail experience at Somewhere by Nico featuring the captivating theme, 'Murder on the Midnight Express’. We understand that today's guests crave more than just a drink - they want an adventure & experience.

“We are dedicated to curating and delivering the best cocktail bar experience and as part of our offering, we’ll now also be welcoming walk-ins and bar reservations, allowing guests to discover the venue in new ways.

“I couldn’t think of a better way to bring this vision to life than with our next theme - ‘Murder on the Midnight Express’.”
