Initial thoughts: Modern take on a 1950s American burger joint, very well presented and feels clean compared to other current burger joints. The menu is a obnoxious, its very hard to read, too much going on. Didn't enjoy the vegan salted Caramel rum dirty shake, they went a bit over board with the cinnamon on this one. The burger was very nice, there was a lot going on in it but it the sun dried tomato mixed into the patty really stood out and complimented the flavors inside. The chips were actually some of the best I've had, very rich in flavor and not too oily. Overall it was a good experience, friendly service team, the kitchen crew seemed to all have smiles on there face and the food was well crafted. The atmosphere was excellent also, as the night progressed the lights dimmed which was also nice as it wasn't too bright. Would I recommend this to vegans? Yes, I do. Great work Burger Liquor.

Went to Burger Liquor as a friend suggested to me and it was delicious. The Punjabi Poutine chips were packed with filling and had a super crunchy outer skin. I tried the Smokey BBQ Burger which had delicious, soft but crunchy buttermilk onion strings - but not too much flavour in regards to the whole burger. Bun was nicely toasted. It was packed up with the onion strings but lacked in all-round flavor. The size of the burger was on the smaller side too. We also tried the Green Latifa slushy and The Doggfather cocktail. Both drinks were superb and added well to the meals. The place was very clean when we went in (as soon as it opened 11:30am on Sunday, so you would expect it to be) and had one or two other groups so if you want to avoid the crowd go in the morning. Staff super friendly and quick with orders. Overall, Burger Liquor gets a 4-star for some delicious meals and tasty drinks.

Absolutely disgusting service I have ever received from a restaurant in Wellington. I was there with a fried couple of week's back. I ordered a vegetarian burger and she ordered a bacon and beef burger. The waitress mixed up our orders and gave me the meat burger instead and while she placed it on the table, she said "vegetarian burger" so I took my first bite and found the meat. Called the waitress to tell her that our orders are wrong and said "so what do you want me to do", on top of this she never apologised to us. She was extremely rude. She called another waitress who replaced our burgers. The food is okay but I am never going to recommend this place to anyone. When you go to dine out, you expect to get good food and friendly customer service but this kind of behaviour is terrible. There are better restaurants who offer great ambiance and better customer service than this place. So, if anyone asks me, this place is a total no go for me.

Was travelling to Wellington and was craving for some burgers. Did a quick goolgle search and stumbled across Burger Liquor. Overall the ambience was quite nice (felt like I was back in my college days!). The service was nice as well, but it felt like it took a while to place my order (they werent too busy, but getting their attention was quite tough). The waitress was very nice and did a great job in convincing me to try their 'burger of the day' (btw she reminded me of Luna from Harry Potter!). The burger itself tasted pretty good (my burger was based on a Japanese style burger - cant rmb the name). The fries were good as well, but a bit salty. The portion I would say is a bit small, but for the price of $30ish bucks all in (plus the beer), it was fair. Would recommend others to try with their friends (the atmosphere was quite loud and happening!).

I don't come here enough. The burger experience can be a good one with the right elements. Drop the fast food speed eating and get into an experiential taste culture. Lots of different flavors are served and it can be over done. Choosing a smaller burger for me is key. Why? Because I'm a messy eater. If you can bite into it while holding the whole burger that's a burger experience. If you have to use a knife and fork your kinda missing out on the whole burger vibe. The bar has a good range of spirits to add to your meal and I'm sure I'll be back for an evening burger and bourbon.

Very upbeat, gourmet casual burger joint with solidly delicious food. I ordered the Smokey with some Smoked Paprika Makikihi Thick Cuts and both came in a good amount of time - both were very tasty too. Getting down to the picky things, the only things stopping me from giving a 5-star rating are the small things, such as the bun being a little dry and the chips having a little too much seasoning. You could argue these are exactly that; picky things. Overall this place has a fantastic atmosphere, great food and a good range of Vegetarian options too. Would totally come back again!
