Meat Liquor - The best burgers in town!

After braving the February cold for an hour and a half I eventually reached the end of the Meat Liquor queue – I was in! Now where was the bar!?


Wow! To say this place opened a couple of months ago, the hype was still going strong and I couldn’t wait to see what all the fuss was about. Meat Liquor is strictly a no reservations food joint and word of mouth and social media had lead me to believe that their burgers were the best around!

Walking in to a Jimi Hendrix solo I was blown away by the huge domed ceiling - illustrated with colourful 'street art' style tales of Meat Liquors' past. It originated as a 'MeatWagon' - a partying burger van touring major festivals during 2010  http://www.themeatwagon.co.uk/  before briefly moving in above a pub in New Cross. Despite its new up-market surroundings of Marylebone this trendy yet grungy diner certainly isn't trying to conform.


 A dull red haze of light floods the diner with a mix of simple seating and industrial lighting. Oh and with ‘chicks’ and ‘dicks’ tagged on the toilet doors... there's certainly a playful, if not a little cheeky, vibe to the place. This was certainly a rock 'n’ roll diner if ever I’d seen one!

The food – no nonsense top notch burgers. The beers/ ales available at the bar aren’t bad either! The space takes advantage of the existing classical architecture, chews it up and spits it out covered in hallucinogenic tattoos! Definitely recommended! (but remember to wrap up warm and take your air guitar!
