Cardiff opening and removal of Russian Vodka

Openings update

Nightcap (AIM: NGHT), the owner of The Cocktail Club, the Adventure Bar Group and the Barrio Familia group of bars, is pleased to announce a further opening for The Cocktail Club in Cardiff in early May.

The latest The Cocktail Club, which is located at 75 St Mary Street, Cardiff, CF10 1FA covers an area of approximately 3,400 square feet over three floors.  The site has a 3:00 am license Monday to Sunday and has an unrestricted capacity of 220.

This opening is the second new opening in Cardiff for Nightcap after it announced it would open a new Tonight Josephine in Cardiff in early April 2022.

In addition to the three new openings scheduled for this year and alongside its existing 27 sites, Nightcap has a further 24 premises under offer or in legal negotiations and continues to see favourable market conditions for site acquisitions across the country.

Removal of Russian Vodka

The Board, Management team and entire staff within Nightcap decided on 28 February 2022 to remove the sale of Russian Vodka across all 27 venues. On 4 March 2022, we introduced Ukrainian Vodka to our menu as a replacement across the entire estate.

Sarah Willingham, Chief Executive Officer of Nightcap, commented:

"Cardiff has been high on our list for new openings for some time, therefore I am delighted to announce the latest lease signing for The Cocktail Club following hot on the heels of Tonight Josephine's planned opening in Cardiff in the coming weeks. 

"Just as we have already proven in Clapham and Shoreditch, we can successfully launch several of our brands into the most relevant locations for late night drinking and partying across the country."

"With our second venue in Bristol trading ahead of management's expectations since its opening in November and knowing that Cardiff is a vibrant city, our expectation for this new site is high. We can't wait to bring The Cocktail Club energy and magic to St Mary Street in early May."

"This is the fifth completed lease for The Cocktail Club since Nightcap acquired it little over a year ago and the second in successive weeks following the lease signing in Exeter which demonstrates how committed our teams are to execute on our plan to become the leading bar group in the UK."
