Bristol is getting a Burger Bear

By Martin Booth  Tuesday Nov 14, 2017

A burger restaurant that has built up a cult following in London is due to open in Bristol at the beginning of next year.

Burger Bear will be taking on the site on Gloucester Road that was most recently Bagel Boy.

Founder Tom Reaney told Bristol24/7: “Bristol can look forward to The Grizzly Bear with our signature bacon jam, and me and my hospitality! Love is the message.”
