Meat Liquor

I have been to Meat Liquor twice now and have really enjoyed it both times! If you’re looking for a funky cool place to enjoy a big, fat burger and a fun cocktail, this is definitely the place! I’m not a massive meat eater but whenever I eat out I like to indulge. I came here with my friend from uni, on a busy Thursday night after work – a great way to end the day. 

Meat Liquor was completely overflowing with people - and it was like this the last time I came -mostly with people in their 20s and 30s looking for a hip place to hang out after work. We queued for 45 minutes outside in the freezing cold, but it was definitely worth it. Everyone in the queue was told about the wait and still stuck it out so it’s clearly a popular and well-liked place! 

The restaurant is dark and atmospheric with shadowy lighting of red and yellow! It was very busy and noisy – almost like a club. The music was pretty loud and everyone was talking amongst themselves very loudly. I wouldn’t recommend going here on a first date as you wouldn’t get to know each other very well – but it’s a fun place to hang out with friends. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly but also very busy, but I liked this – it added to the atmosphere!







After waiting outside for a while we were definitely ready for a drink. We stood at the busy bar, which again made it feel like I was on a ¨night out¨as opposed to just being out for dinner. We spoilt ourselves and ordered a big portion of the best onion rings I have ever had. They were huge and there was a lot more batter than onions (probably why it was so good?). My friend had a chicken burger and said it was great. I had a green chilli burger which was delicious– it didn’t hold together though and was very messy. As you can see by the number of paper towels my friend and I got through… it was not eaten in the most elegant of ways (again, don’t come here on a first date– embarrassing…)





 






One burger was definitely enough for us – and a shared portion of onion rings as they were so big – I felt like I was in America with extra big portions.. or at least for us. My friend´s burger was as big as her head!







So much fun… cool atmosphere, great company and delicious food - nom nom nom!
