In a relatively short space of time, Bristol has asserted itself as the unofficial burger capital of the UK.

This year the city has welcomed a meaty amount of new restaurants specialising in burgers – but is it starting to reach saturation point?

After the recent closure of Meat Liquor's Bristol restaurant in Stokes Croft and this week's news that Grillstock has entered administration, another well-known city centre restaurant has closed for good.

Alarm bells started ringing at the weekend when Atomic Diner was closed temporarily due to an ‘electrical fault’, which rendered its kitchen equipment out of action.

But it would appear problems at the business were a little more serious than that as a sign on the window of the restaurant now states that it is permanently closed.

It was loved by many for its striking décor, which included plenty of retro memorabilia and comic strips adorning the walls.

Before Atomic opened roughly one years ago, the site was occupied by Steam Café Bar, which was used as the home of the Riproar Comedy Club.



The reason for closure is currently unknown but the restaurant has said that its other site on Gloucester Road remains open.
