The long-empty Atomic Diner site is now available to rent - but there’s a catch

Bristol has something of a reputation as a burger capital, hosting dozens of outlets dedicated to the (often) meaty treat. But one of the city’s favourite fast food restaurants remains dark and empty, five years after it closed down.

Located on Union Street, Atomic Diner was a popular haunt for those who enjoyed cartons full of carbs piled high with protein – including an impressive range of vegan-friendly burgers and sides.

But the venue closed at short notice back in 2017, with owners initially blaming an electrical fault in the kitchen. They still have an outlet called Atomic Burger, around two miles away on Gloucester Road, but the restaurant on Union Street has never reopened.
