Manahatta is set to bring a taste of the Big Apple to Edinburgh when it opens on Rose Street this Saturday, October 26, with two floors of glitz and glamour sure to make it a hit on the city’s nightlife scene.
The new location at the back of the former BHS department store will feature striking design elements and guests can enjoy a dynamic and stylish setting with a combined area of 380 sq m. Both floors boast impressive art-deco-inspired arched back bars and bold lighting that “channels the essence of New York’s streets”.
Part of Arc Inspirations, Manahatta Edinburgh joins an expanding portfolio of some of the UK’s most successful and exciting bars, with 17 established bars across nine locations in the UK.
Martin Wolstencroft, CEO, Arc Inspirations said: “Edinburgh is the perfect city for our debut in Scotland, and we’re excited to introduce our new interior design concept to this vibrant location.
“With a significant £2.45 million investment in the site, we’re eager to offer an elevated and unique experience that captures the essence of New York in Scotland’s capital, complete with top-notch entertainment and a dynamic atmosphere.”
