Arta

If the highlight of your Friday night involves a cup of sleep-inducing herbal tea then it’s time to wake up your social life.

And this Big Deal with Arta in the Merchant City is just the ticket.

On Friday 2nd June, the Mediterranean-themed restaurant, bar and club will shake, shudder and roll to the sights and sounds of a spectacular burlesque and magic show.

Shake a tail feather

The evening will be hosted by mystery man Chris Dinwoodie. Five times Scottish Magic Champion, Woodie has spent the last fourteen years travelling the world and performing his magic.

When not being wowed by Woodie, the audience can enjoy the burlesque talents of Scarlett Belle, Ruby Trix and Kim Khaos.

Ms Belle has shaken her tailfeathers all over the world including Las Vegas while Ruby Trix is Scotland’s only professional whip-cracking burlesque act.

Kim Khaos is inspired by the golden age of burlesque. A shimmy-shakin’, heart-breakin’ bump and grindin’ force of nature, she always leaves her audience wanting more.

Guests are asked to arrive from 6.30pm with a 7pm start. The show will end around 11pm. Of course, guests are welcome to stay on and enjoy Arta into the small hours.

You can make the most of the night with these two Big Deal options.

Dinner and show for two

Option one is for one person to have a glass of fizz on arrival followed by a three course meal and the show on Friday 2nd June.

There are three options for each dinner course. We would go for the breaded brie with spiced cranberry jam followed by the roast cod fillet with tenderstem broccoli and patatas bravas.

Sticky toffee pudding with smoked almond crumb and Madagascan vanilla ice cream to finish, obviously.

Although we could see why you might choose the smoked salmon with beetroot purée and capers and then the roast chicken supreme stuffed with Manchego and red peppers.

Choices, choices.

Night out with friends

Option two is for a drink and show package for eight people – ideal for a Friday night with friends.

As well as a cava reception on arrival and tickets for the show on Friday 2nd June, this package includes:

One bottle of spirits – choose between Ketel One Vodka, Tanqueray Gin, Jack Daniels and Havana 7 with unlimited mixers

Two bottles of Cava

1 x Crystal Skull Daiquiri

Nibbles – selection of olives, bread, oil & vinegar, nuts & popcorn

Hacienda style

Situated in the Merchant City, Arta is modelled on an opulent Spanish hacienda. It’s a jaw-dropping mix of sweeping stairs, glittering candelabras and marble statues.
