At Six By Nico Birmingham, the menu reads like a carefully curated progression of playful yet polished bites and drinks, where familiar comfort is reimagined with a modern edge. From the opening “Heritage Chippie” style offerings such as Pommes Anna 'Chips' and Sourdough Bread, the experience sets a nostalgic yet refined tone, further lifted by the bright aperitif New York Lemonade. The snack selection, including Chicken & Chorizo Croquetas, Gilda Pintxo, and additional Baked Sourdough Bread, feels deliberately simple but executed with precision, acting as a bridge into a more expressive drinks programme. The cocktail pairing stands out as a highlight, with inventive serves like Cucumber Collins, Honey Old Fashioned, Peach & Rosemary Bellini, Aperol Negroni, and Hazelnut White Russian, each contributing a distinct personality that complements the evolving flavours of the meal. The wine pairing is equally expansive and international in character, featuring pours such as Violino Spumante, Cabert, Grand Bosquet Rouge, Les Marmandais, Saxa Passerina, and L'avventura Aglianico Vdt 2024 - Heliolatry, alongside lighter, convivial options like Grains De Plaisir. As the menu progresses, the narrative becomes more theatrical with Course 7: Black Hole, before branching into indulgent and eclectic extras such as Coney Island Corn Dog, Blood Orange Cosmo, Dark And Stormy, Penicillin, and New York Sour, reinforcing the restaurant’s signature blend of nostalgia and experimentation. Overall, it feels like a tasting journey designed to balance familiarity with surprise, where each dish and drink-rather than standing alone-contributes to a cohesive, evolving story of flavour.
