Brisbane's Broadway Diner owned by Karen's Diner where staff sing to guests ... trends now
A restaurant owned by the same company that created the controversial Karen's Diner franchise has gone under after just six months.
Broadway Diner's restaurant in South Bank, Brisbane has officially shut up shop, after going into liquidation on May 30.

A spokesperson from Viral Ventures confirmed Broadway Diner had closed in Brisbane, but its stores in Sydney and around the world are still open.

The Sydney pop-up opened in November last year in Glebe, while the Brisbane store had only been running since January.
