The team at Six By Nico has announced the closure of one of their restaurants.
Beat 6 was opened by restaurateur Nico Simeone in the city's Dennistoun in October 2021, adding to the Six by Nico group of Glasgow restaurants in Finnieston and the Southside.
It served as a unique dining experience that also makes a difference, with 100% of profits going to the Beatson Cancer Charity.
Now Simeone has announced that the venue will close on October 16, 2022.
There are plans to reopen in a new Glasgow location in early 2023.

He said: "We, like many others, hold a special place in our hearts for the Beatson.
"We hope that the proceeds from Beat 6 will benefit the charity and the staff to whom we owe so much, as well as provide our team with the opportunity to be a part of such an important cancer journey."
Simeone and his family wanted to help the Beatson after his wife was given 'world-class' treatment after her cancer diagnosis.
Since opening in the East End, the team at Beat 6 have raised over £300,000 and there are plans to continue raising funds in the new venue.
They will also participate in Strictly Beatson, a charity gala in Glasgow, next week.
Simeone added: "Our initial donation of over £300,000 is only the beginning, and we will be eternally grateful for everything they do every day to improve the lives of cancer patients."

Martin Cawley, CEO of the Beatson Cancer Charity said: ”We are absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of Nico Simeone and his team.
"Our collaboration with Six by Nico Group continues to be a great success.
"To raise over £300k through fundraising from the wider Six by Nico Group together with donations from loyal customers is simply amazing.
"The concept of Beat 6 is not only to help raise funds but also to raise awareness of our charity and its services.
"The response in one year is exceptional and certainly an applaudable achievement.”
