A new Mexican-American inspired restaurant is to open in Glasgow’s Merchant City early next month.
SíSí Rooftop has unveiled its first look inside the eighth-floor space ahead of its opening on Friday, August 1.
Located atop The Social Hub in Candleriggs Square, the venue will serve Mexican-American inspired dishes with craft cocktails and curated wines to enjoy while enjoying panoramic views.
One of the restaurant’s most distinctive features is a ceiling mural by Glasgow illustrator and tattoo artist Pelikan Baba which shows margarita-sipping figures floating across a pale sky, painted in bold colours and loose lines.
DJ booths will also be part of SíSí with guest sets and artist residencies as part of the new venue.
The venue has a total of 100 indoor seats as well as a 60-seat open-air terrace with a feature island bar in the centre of the room.

The menu, shaped around locally sourced produce and sustainable suppliers, will feature ‘fresh and vibrant’ sharing plates.
Interiors take cues from mid-century design, with earth tones, wood and stone flooring, real planting and soft strip lighting. The space includes a mix of booth seating, open tables and low-slung lounge areas, designed to feel relaxed and sociable.
Claire Mcilvenny, General Manager at SíSí Rooftop said: “SíSí was designed to move with the day. We wanted it to feel easy and welcoming in the daytime: the kind of place you can catch up over coffee, but with space to truly come alive at night. We believe it will become one of the places to be in Glasgow.
“It was important for us to collaborate with local artists and Pelikan Baba has done an incredible job with the ceiling mural. It’s properly eye-catching, but it’s the small Glasgow details that make this so special. There’s always something new to spot, and of course, it makes a great photo, too.
“After lots of hard work behind the scenes, we’re incredibly excited to finally open our doors in just a few weeks.”
