The owner of The Cocktail Club, the Adventure Bar Group and the Barrio Familia group of bars, Nightcap said it will open The Cocktail Club in Birmingham later this year.
Nightcap will open a flagship location at 31 Temple Street, Birmingham, B2 5DB, following the successful openings of The Cocktail Club venues in Reading and Bristol in recent months.
This new ground-floor location is 4,600 square feet, divided into three bar areas, with a 2:00 a.m. licence Monday through Sunday and a capacity of 450 people.
The Cocktail Club will be the group’s third brand to open in Birmingham, following the Tonight Josephine brand and its enormous outdoor venue, Luna Springs, along with the Adventure Bar Group’s Tonight Josephine brand.
This is The Cocktail Club’s sixth new lease since Nightcap purchased it last year, bringing the total number of locations to sixteen.
Across all of its brands, Nightcap now has 31 sites in its portfolio, with another 25 ‘under offer’ or in legal negotiations, and continues to experience favourable market circumstances for site purchases across the country.
Sarah Willingham, Nightcap CEO said, “From the outset we felt that The Cocktail Club format had the opportunity to successfully operate larger sites.”
“Both Reading and Bristol exceeded our maturity net sales targets within their first three months of operation and we are confident that Birmingham will continue that trajectory with an even larger site.”
“We are continuing our expansion programme as scheduled and just as with the prime areas of London and Cardiff, we are excited to open multiple formats within prime areas of Birmingham, which is one of our main target cities for all of our brands.”
Nightcap shares rose 1% to 16.8p following the announcement of the opening of The Cocktail Club in Birmingham later this year.
