Restaurateur Nico Simeone is set to launch his first cocktail venue in Glasgow's West End with a Land of Oz themed experience for customers.

The venue, called Somewhere by Nico and located in Byres Road, will feature a cocktail menu inspired by the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.

The venue is scheduled to open its doors on March 20.

The concoctions of alcoholic and alcohol-free cocktails will be based on characters like the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, Scarecrow and the Wicked Witch of West.

The venture is the first in a proposed series of immersive cocktail experiences from the team behind the restaurant Six by Nico.

Customers can look forward to eight limited-edition cocktails accompanied by food pairings.

Morgan Pope, brand director, said: "Each visit to Somewhere is fully immersive, and we’ve designed each world to embody experiences that transport people somewhere – to a point in their memories, dreams, past, or present."

“The cocktails are the natural focal point, carefully and creatively crafted to be a multisensory experience. The ‘Land of Oz’ experience should take people a step closer to the Emerald City with every course.

"You’ll journey through poppy fields, encounter familiar faces along the way, and follow in Dorothy’s footsteps in an unforgettable adventure of your own.

“As with all the worlds we create, it’s inclusive, so there’s a non-alcoholic version of the ‘Land of Oz’ menu so everybody can venture Somewhere over the rainbow, whether you choose to drink alcohol or not.”
