The Scottish firm behind the Six by Nico brand has today announced plans to launch a new restaurant concept as part of an ongoing charity partnership.
Following the success of non-profit restaurant Beat 6 in Bearsden, which recently reached a £1 million fundraising milestone, the Glasgow-based Six Company group will soon open Bamboléo, a neighbourhood Spanish steakhouse and wine bar.
Replacing Beat 6 at 149 Milngavie Road from Friday, November 8, Bamboléo will create a gathering place where “great food, wine, and a great cause come together”, with a goal of raising £2 million for the Beatson Cancer Charity.
Six Company chief executive and founder Nico Simeone said: “I am very much looking forward to the next steps for us with our fundraising efforts for Beatson Cancer Charity, with the opening of Bamboléo.
“We are very lucky to be in the position that we can have such a concept and I am so excited for the future.
“To have reached this milestone is remarkable.”
Combining top-quality ingredients with traditional Spanish flavours, the steakhouse and wine bar aims to deliver an “exceptional local dining experience” in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Bamboleo's diners will help to contribute to an ambitious fundraising goal with 100% of profits going directly to Beatson Cancer Charity, which supports cancer patients and their families who are being treated at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre.
Gillian Hailstones, CEO of Beatson Cancer Charity, said: “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Six Company and expand our mission through the launch of Bamboleo.
“Following the remarkable success of Beat 6, we’re excited to see Bamboleo open its doors, creating a new opportunity for the community to support those affected by cancer in a truly special way.
“Every meal enjoyed at Bamboleo helps provide essential support to cancer patients and their families, and we’re incredibly grateful for the continued commitment of Nico and his team.”
On the a la carte menu at the 48-seat restaurant will be a selection of tapas, starters, mains and desserts served for lunch and dinner between Monday and Saturday alongside a Galician Sunday Roast menu served all day Sunday.
A private dining area on the mezzanine level of the space will be available for gatherings, events and fundraising dinners.
