A vibrant new addition to Glasgow’s culinary landscape is on the horizon as SíSí Rooftop, a Mexican-American inspired restaurant and bar, prepares to open atop The Social Hub in Merchant City this summer.

Launching on Friday, 1st August, SíSí Rooftop promises a lively yet laid-back ambience, sweeping city views, and a creative menu of sharing plates and cocktails that celebrate both local produce and Latin-American vibrancy.

  • Location: Eighth floor of The Social Hub Glasgow, Candleriggs Square
  • Opening Hours: Daily from 12pm to 1am
  • Capacity: 160 covers (100 indoor, 60 terrace)

Situated eight floors above bustling Candleriggs Square, SíSí Rooftop offers guests a prime vantage point over the city, with its open-air terrace presenting panoramic scenes stretching from the Merchant City to the Cathkin Braes.

Culinary Delights with a Sustainable Twist

The culinary team has crafted a menu that places a strong emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and sustainable suppliers. Guests can expect a range of fresh, vibrant sharing plates and signature dishes, including:

  • Hand-dived scallop ceviche verde
  • Steak tartare tostada
  • An array of indulgent desserts and refined bar snacks

This approach is designed to encourage convivial, group dining and makes SíSí a destination for any occasion -from relaxed lunches to celebratory dinners.

SíSí’s bar takes inspiration from its Mexican-American theme, with a beverage list designed for both the cocktail connoisseur and the casual sipper. Highlights include:

  • Green Bloody Maria
  • Mezcal Paloma
  • Spicy Margarita
  • Extensive wine list and local draught beers

With its innovative drinks selection and stunning setting, SíSí is poised to become a go-to spot for sunset cocktails and late-night gatherings.
