It’s not every day you will hear burgers, liquor (ok maybe those two go hand in hand) and lobster (there’s the clincher!) in a sentence together. But that’s exactly what affordable in-pub Burger Liquor Lobster are doing. Every night of the week.
Originally home to a Chur Burger pop-up within Manly Wharf Hotel and The London Hotel, Burger Liquor Lobster has made themselves at home. And we couldn’t be happier: this new in-house establishment is satisfying our never-ending cravings for eating burgers while out pubbing, with a seafood twist. Because this is Australia and we do love our seafood.

The regular burgers (beef, chicken, lamb, pulled pork and veggie) will set you back a mere $10 while their signature Lobster Popcorn Roll and other seafood varieties impress at the $15 mark. If you have issues with bread and all it’s glutinous glory, then fear not. These burgers come in lettuce buns just for you.
The menu really is everything you dream of eating at a pub. But done really well at prices you’re happy to fork out for. The decor also delights with laidback, nautical inspired features.

There’s a cocktail list too if you think your lobster burger deserves a side of fancy. All with sea-worthy names like Littlest Mermaid and 40 Knots, the combos are out of the ordinary and worth making your way through.
