MEATliquor Islington

Beneath the shadowy arches of a former Citroën showroom-turned-burger joint hides a disconcertingly good time. MEATliquor is a playground for grown-ups, decked out in neon and street art.

MEATliquor Islington is just a stone’s throw from central London and the Emirates Stadium, making it the perfect match for a day bender or a pre-gig fuel-up.

The menu bursts with indulgent signature dishes like the famous Dead Hippie burger: mustard-fried double beef patties with American cheese, lettuce, pickles, and onions. The Tower Block is a stacked contender, fried chicken breast, two hash browns, pickled jalapeños, and burger sauce. Craving chicken? You can’t go wrong with their take on tenders or the garlicky chicken wings.

There are also plenty of vegetarian and vegan alternatives, including tempeh burgers, roasted potato and onion patties, and plant-based chilli cheese hotdogs. Sides? From noodle-crusted mozzarella sticks to impossible chicken nuggets, these aren’t just sides, they’re reckless, decadent eating.

Welcome to MEATliquor, the burger joint of your dreams, filled with filthy burgers and an unruly amount of fried chicken. Weekends are for letting loose.
