About 171 Piedmont Avenue
Looking for a standout commercial property in downtown Bristol, Virginia? Don't miss this one! Originally constructed in 1937-1938 as Bristol's Greyhound bus terminal, this building served for decades as a regional transportation hub. Designed in the Streamline Moderne style—a late Art Deco movement inspired by the machine age—its curved façade, horizontal lines, glass block details, and original terrazzo floors reflect an era defined by progress and movement. After the depot closed around 1970, the City of Bristol preserved the structure before it transitioned into private commercial use and ultimately the hospitality space it is today.
Previously operated as a restaurant, the property is already outfitted with key infrastructure including a commercial hood system, 3-phase power, grease trap, walk-in cooler and freezer, tap room, multiple restrooms, executive office, and an outdoor patio—positioning it as a true turnkey opportunity for a food or beverage operator.
Beyond its prior use, the flexible layout lends itself to a wide range of concepts. Ideal potential uses include a catering kitchen or event venue, speakeasy, cigar lounge, coffee bar, sports bar, or golf simulator, as well as service-oriented concepts like a barber shop or salon, boutique retail, or professional office space.
Situated in Bristol's historic downtown district with strong foot traffic and year-round tourism, this is a rare opportunity to own a highly adaptable commercial space that blends history with modern functionality—perfectly positioned for long-term success. Whether you're an entrepreneur with a vision, a business owner with a passion, or simply an investor looking for a unique asset- don't miss out on this opportunity. Located at 171 Piedmont Ave, this one won't last long, priced to sell at $675k. Call today to schedule your private showing!
