El Sieco's was a pub, bar, and music venue in Newport, Wales which opened in 2016 on High Street, Newport. The venue closed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
El Seico's owner was Ashley Sicolo, grandson of John Sicolo. John was the owner of notable Newport music venue TJ's which was a major part of the Newport music scene until TJ's closure in 2010.
The new El Seico's venue proved popular, having been named in the South Wales Argus list of top 5 live music venues in Newport, and it was announced in 2019 that El Seico's would be moving to larger premises in Market Street. The new location was due to open in September 2019, offering an increased capacity of 350, two floors, with weekend evenings offering two rooms of music. In October 2020 Ashley announced that the club would not reopen, stating that "Coronavirus put life on hold. I’ve had some great times and met some great people, but it’s time for me to move on".
