A bar and restaurant in Glasgow city centre has served its final customers after announcing plans for closure last week.
In a statement posted on social media on Friday, September 27, the owners of August House invited regulars to the venue for "one last drink under the disco ball" before they shut up shop on the city's Mitchell Street.
The post read: "We have some sad news to share angels.
"We'll be closing the doors at August House this weekend, but we'd love you to join us for one last drink under the disco ball.
"Grab your besties and let's make our final moments as fabulous as ever."

August House first opened during the run up to Christmas party season in November, 2022.
Split over two floors, the bar and restaurant offered a private events space and dancefloor area as well as a mix of high-top tables and booths.
The bar took over the location from Abandon Ship, which was closed with immediate effect in July that year after less than 12 months in business.
There has been no further information provided regarding why the decision was made to close August House or what the future holds for the city centre unit.
The team behind the business thanked their customers for 10 years of support while announcing their final day of service will be Saturday, October 12.
Elsewhere on Sauchiehall Street, however, there is news of a new opening as Berlinkys promises to bring an 'experience unlike any other' to the city.
The bar will open on Friday, October 4 at 12pm and is said to have booked ‘some of the UK’s best musicians and performers’ as part of their nightly programme of entertainment.
Brendan Curran, operations manager at Berlinkys, said: “This has been Glasgow’s best kept secret for months, and now we’re thrilled to finally unveil our vision to the world.
"It’s all about bringing back the good times – it’s the perfect place for people looking for something a little different, whether that’s catching a gig, laughing out loud at a comedy act, or dancing on tables with your friends until 3am.
“It’s a truly unique venue and we’re confident it will offer guests an experience unlike anything else currently on offer in Glasgow."
