The 48-seat restaurant will invite customers to “Dine to Donate”, and will offer a monthly rotating four-course set menu. Beat 6 will also offer a private dining space for events and fundraising dinners. Six by Nico creator Nico Simeone, of Sixco Group, said: "We, like many others, have a special place in our hearts for the Beatson, and we will be eternally grateful for everything they do on a daily basis to help change the lives of those affected by cancer.
"Our new Bearsden neighbourhood location will continue to raise vital funds for the charity and the staff to whom we owe so much, while also giving our team the opportunity to be a part of such an important cancer awareness journey. Our donations of over £350,000 to date are just the beginning, and Beat 6's new home in Bearsden is one of the most exciting fundraising initiatives we're ever been a part of."
