Whiskey Ginger in Southwark

So good,delicious and confortable

After walking for what seemed like days in the bleak mid-winter, my better half suddenly proclaimed to me that she needed filling quick, with a large quantity of meat. At first, I panicked, knowing I wouldn't be able to satiate her seemingly insatiable desires. Then, by chance, we stumbled upon Whiskey Ginger, and I was saved. Like a beacon of hope shining in the distance. A promised land if you will. The BBQ pulled pork burger was everything she needed at that moment and satisfied her in ways I never thought possible. I myself was seduced by the glory of the New York hot dog. This sausage was not only the best I've ever encountered, (and I've gobbled a lot of sausage), it changed me in ways I can't express. Not only did it change my hunger to contentment, but it also changed my life. It made me a better person. If I can offer any advice, I'd emplor you to visit Whiskey Ginger and take all the meat you can handle. Your life will never be the same again All joking aside, it's amazing food, go there!

The place looked so desirable for us with the burgers on display and thinking that it was one of the rare places you can sit while eating in Borough Market in London. However, the staff said it would take 30 minutes waiting time to get a table. Therefore, we opted for take away. Nonetheless, it took more time to get our take away crispy chicken burgers & fries, which was definitely not worth it 👎 They should change their frying oil more often than they do; in this way they can offer better smelling & tasting fries 🍟 On the other hand, I gotta say it’s a nice ambiance over there but it doesn’t worth waiting that much in my opinion 🤷‍♀️

In the middle and middle of the market and the burger is luxurious. We will definitely repeat!! Very friendly in their treatment and very fast.

This is a great place at Borough Market, we stopped here as a meeting place with friends for drinks. The signature drink Whiskey Ginger is awesome, they have a great selection of food and drinks. It's not the biggest place but if you can get a table you'll enjoy the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful.

A une entrée du Borough Market nous avons été séduits par les hot dogs (3 différents au choix). L’affluence vite arrivée nous a fait comprendre que nous ne nous étions pas trompés sur le fait que c’est une bonne adresse.

Very bad service, he asked us more money if we want it dine in!!!!

The delicious burgers, the very friendly staff and the great musical selection, I would have it on my Playlist if I didn't miss a single one.

I recently passed by Whisky Ginger at Borough Market over the weekend and decided to try their burgers after seeing them on display. However, I wasn’t particularly impressed. I ordered a chicken burger with fries, but I could tell the cooking oil was quite old, which was also noticeable in the color of the chicken. Instead of stopping here, I would recommend trying other options around the market. We initially wanted to sit down, but the staff mentioned a 30-minute wait for seating, so we opted for take-away, which also had a 30-minute wait time.

Nos topamos con este lugar mientras barajamos a través de un mercado del condado muy ocupado y estamos muy contentos de haberlo hecho. Ambiente encantador y servicio amable... pero eso no fue todo, llegaron las hamburguesas y Dios mío, fue la mejor hamburguesa de pollo que he comido en mi vida. Tuvimos la Torre Trump (hecha esa mañana según el gerente) - qué alegría absoluta.

Really lovely staff, yummy food and fairly priced for London! Would definitely stop here again ☺️

WhiskeyGinger à Londres est un incontournable pour les amateurs de burgers. L’ambiance décontractée et le décor soigné mettent en valeur des burgers incroyables, avec une viande juteuse et des ingrédients frais. Les recettes, à la fois classiques et audacieuses, garantissent une explosion de saveurs. Les frites croustillantes complètent à merveille l’expérience. Une adresse à ne pas manquer pour tous les gourmets !

Visité aquí en un viaje reciente a Londres. Estaba ocupado, pero pudimos entrar y pedimos la hamburguesa de pollo coreana y la hamburguesa de ternera de la firma y ninguno decepcionado, ambos sabían fantástico. Sin duda volveremos a visitar y vale la pena probar para cualquiera que visite el mercado del condado.

I'm a street photography this place got attention from because of the lighting and the food smells great and the really nice man with really nice beard I spoke with him he was very happy and polite and the staff in the bar were very friendly too and liked the photos I took I would be happy to come back with friends best wishes Anthony.

My first visit today, I’m glad to report was met with great food and service. Such a busy place but the staff just took it all in their stride. I had the House burger and the other half had a plain burger, we shared the chips and both were delicious. The Portabello Pale Ale also went down nicely. We will definitely return. Great food and service in such a busy area, what’s not to like.

Love it. Can't recommend the chicken burger enough. I get it EVERY time it's that good. You won't regret it.

Lugar fresco para pasar el rato y comer una gran hamburguesa. Sabe tan bien como parece. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita si estás haciendo un desafío de hamburguesas

Was a decent burger. Nothing special, nothing crazy, nothing different. Maybe I didn’t order from their menu and tried to go for the days special but yeah.

Great success!! Fast food restaurant, the burgers and fries were very delicious with great flavor and perfect quantity. The waiters were very pleasant, they accommodated us in the upper part with plenty of space since we were with a girl. Looking forward to repeating!

I love this place. You could consider it a 'hidden gem'of London down in Borough Market. The vibe here is great with good music and a great atmosphere. The burgers and fries are delicious and the selection of cocktails is great. Highly recommend for a quick bite to eat or a spot for a drink... or do what i do and do both!

Nice food, great service! Child friendly!

Very good atmosphere, music, one of the best hamburgers and fries I have eaten. I recommend you during your London getaway.

Best burger we had on our trip to London. Really nice atmosphere watching people passing for the market and the service was top notch. Highly recommend.

Great place for burgers. There’s not too much space but it worth the waiting time. I highly recommend the pulled pork burger !

The El Bandito is the single best hot dog I've ever eaten. Absolutely amazing

The lovely vibrant little cocktail bar and restaurant has a cosy rustic character- perfect for the rainy day that was! The Korean chicken burger and Loaded Fries were recommended by our server, Tony and, my goodness the combination was delicious! We sat in a little corner, simply enjoying the magnificent atmosphere and the 'illegally fabulous' food! It was perfect for a family reunion and offers a great range for kids. The child in our group is normally very picky but she DEVOURED the Popcorn chicken with fries. We were s party of five and this place offers the intimacy to catch up over excellent food and drinks. The staff are considerate, friendly and knowledgeable and they genuinely made us feel welcome! I'm SO glad my family and I came here to spend time together before they return to the States this weekend. We shared precious memories here and I would happily bring close friends or family here again. Thank you all for a magnificent visit.

Great food! We went for lunch and sat on the patio outside. Good place for people watching. The service was great, really nice server and our food came out pretty quickly given how busy it was. Had some fun and creative topping combinations for the hot dogs. Hot dogs were great. It’s in a touristy place, so it wasn’t cheap, but would still say it’s decently priced. Would go again!

I chose this place to escape the general crowd of Borough Market. The food was displayed in front of the restaurant and after making my decision, I went to an empty table to sit. As I was passing by, a young waitress with blue eyes and glasses stopped me and told me to come to the entrance of the restaurant. At first I couldn't understand and was shocked, she told me very rudely that I shouldn't sit down before she seated me. I am Turkish and in my country this is considered very unprofessional in the service sector because customers come there to have fun and have a good time, not to be educated! It wasn't a big mistake and there was never any need for such a warning. I didn't let it bother me and ate my meal. The hamburger was nice but I can't say it was amazing. The funny thing is that a Spanish couple sat down in front of me in the same way and the same waitress came and warned them too, the couple was shocked and asked if they needed to get up. The waitress said no but be careful next time. I hope the owners of this place read this, if this is normal in your country, it's really a shame :)

Legitimately one of the best burgers I have ever had (WG House Burger). The flavor was immense and full. My husband got the special (like a buffalo chicken) and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. The location is excellent, perfect for people watching. The staff was lively and happy. It was a fun place to sit and just experience the area. We will be back on our next trip to London.

I didin't even eat at this place but the atmosphere is class

Helpful and friendly staff, great quality food worth every penny.

The Big Cheese Beef Burger is a must! Full of flavors, juicy, simply awesome!

Lentos....lentos....lentos....y mas lentos!!! Las Hamburguesas normales y el local muy pequeño. Para take a way no esta mal pero son lentissssinos!

Nice clean table, quick service. Very obliging, split the burger happy to bring water & ice. Luca was super friendly and right on the ball making sure all customers were attended to promptly. Not bad price considering location.

Really trendy burger & beer location with really awesome house music. The burgers are super tasty and well priced... What more could you want??? The pint of cold beer for 6 pounds, very good for half a liter... and tastes... a clear recommendation when the Borough market is closed

Absolutely the most amazing and best chicken burger ever. Chicken Burger with Korean Sauce. Epic!!!

What a find !! Lovely little, quaint bar/resto near Borough market. Korean chicken burger was out of this world and went down well with signature cocktail. Great value, great service, lovely ambience and charismatic owner. Well done Jim !!!

Amazing food in a historic location, it can be busy and loud but that added to the experience. The staff are next level very friendly and welcoming with a cheeky smile. I would definitely recommend you give it a try even if it is just a takeaway but better still eating in.

Great burgers, especially the Korean Chicken!

A good burger for a good price is rare in london so have a taste! You should try the pork one it is a perfect Thanks again

Great place for great burgers. Had the Korean BBQ chicken burger and it was amazing so full of flavour and oosing with sauce (I'm told the prepare their own sauce daily) Chips were good as was the drink selection. Found the price reasonable too. Borough market was heaving on a Saturday afternoon and you may have to wait for a seat but by chance we timed it right managed to sit straight down. They offer takeaway too. Staff were polite and welcoming and quick. Would recommend this place and look forward to visiting again next time I'm in town

Rustic pub with a small outdoor restaurant, it's great what the team grills and cooks outside the restaurant. But it was really great. We enjoyed the food and it was a top performance considering all the hustle and bustle (Sunday lunchtime in Borough Market). Thank you, we'll be back 🙏

The "Whiskey Ginger" is located directly at Borough Market and offers a great selection of burgers and the like. at. Both burgers (Korean Chicken Burger and WG House Burger) were extremely juicy and super tasty. Price-performance totally justified.

Went here with a couple of friends and burger was delicious. However, I was quite disappointed when as paying customers the manager didn't allow us to use the toilet at the end of our meal which we was confused about.

Spectacular food and very nice lads.

Excellent! Pull porck et hot-dog. Option vegetarian Super moment Merci

Small burger shop at the entrance to Borough Market. Great chicken burger. Friendly, quick service.

Delicious burgers, friendly staff, lively atmosphere, affordable prices...

Korean Burger the best Burger ever ...exquisite delicious...

Good cocktails and friendly staff to bad it takes forever to get something to eat … we decided to leave after 30min… the orders weren’t even been cooked at that moment…

Really enjoying this wonderful place with an enthusiastic team! I discovered this place 2 years ago and came back today: I spent a great moment again! I will come back for sure! Matthias from Belgium

Horrible service and bad tasting food. Burger was dry, couldn’t even finish it.

I came here in 2019 from Australia the best hotdog that I have ever had..thankfully they still make it. THE BIG SMOKE. even better than I remember. Service was amazing. Thanks guys.

The display definitely looked better than the taste. Chicken and beef burger were a bit dry and not as flavorful as expected. There was also a lot of bread in each bite. Good chips and a good stop to have a drink if you are in the area of the market. It’s busy but we were able to get some barstool seating upstairs. Service was great. Just wished the food had a bit more flavor.

What a fantastic experience! Despite the business of the market, staff working there have made our experience absolutely wholesome. Energy and vibe of this place is amazing 👏 will definitely recommend it. And of course, delicious fully flavoured and super Juicy Burgers with fresh cut crispy delicious chips!!!! Must try!!!

Love this little hot spot. Went for casual lunch, our second time here. Wife had frankfurter and I had the Cheesy burger, requested a carmelizing of the normally raw onions…no problem. Had a couple of menu drinks. All of it was terrific and served with fun hospitality! The owner, Jim, is a wonderful personality and he visited with us for a bit. Ambience is made even better by great music and happening vibe of Borough Market. Check it out if you want a fun time!

Whiskey ginger is a cool burger restaurant and bar next to Borough market. They offer modern burgers in a cool location. Very often the restaurant is full. They play cool music and if you get a seat outside you can watch the scenario and people outside. The taste of the burger was very good. The prices are not cheap, you pay also for the location. I enjoyed my burger during lunchtime there.

Located in a narrow passageway that is a main thoroughfare for entrance to the market, ensuring a “feeding time at the zoo” vibe as all the tourists gawp at you and your food as they slowly file past. The food is cooked (by cooked, I mean fried) on the other side of the line of tourists and when it’s ready, placed on the pass (by pass I mean a ledge that is even closer to the passing tourists) and an alert sound is made. After 5 minutes of a burger sitting there, it transpired that it was our order. The waiter brought it over without the chips we ordered with it, which then had to be made. Buttermilk chicken burger was very greasy. Chips were allegedly “chunky” but were a weird hollow delta shape. Popcorn chicken was ok. Seating is folding rickety wooden garden chairs, very uncomfortable. Loud dance music adds to the general discomfort of the experience. 10% service charge added automatically. Would not recommend, especially as there as so many other fabulous places and things to eat in the immediate vicinity.

If you go to Borough Market please visit this place if you want to try amazing tasty Burgers. The waiter was so friendly and helpful. Everyone was so nice that we felt very welcome. The Pulled Pork Burger was absolutely amazing. Delicious and juicy with a nice soft bun and a Smokey sauce . It was so good 😊 I can definitely recommend this place !

Excellent burger and really friendly, good service! Able to sit for lunch, with our small dog just off from the very very busy borough market. Deffo recommended the burgers.

Cannot stress this enough! This is the place to be when visiting the Borough Market! The vibe, the food, thee Tony, sir, you are a legend! Excellent guys, thank you for a great experience!

pretty bad burger. the wg "aged beef" burger was like if you left a McDonald's burger out for a bit and had that, but added soggy onions, a stale bun, and a boat load of BBQ sauce to cover up any taste. not worth the 20 minute wait and definitely not worth the 10.95

Always great to come and eat “the big cheese” with meat cooked on the barbecue…..

Fantastic food! If you’re looking for a taste from back home (U.S.) this is the place to go! Burgers were amazing and the mac and cheese bites were out of this world! Give this place a go.

Nice food, we went at late afternoon and they started patching their stuff so we leave. The worst is that they through away in the garbage all the (real) food that was at front showcasing their products.

What an amazing place!!! Busy yet relaxing. Right next to Southwark cathedral amidst the hustle and bustle of Borough Market. The staff were attentive, professional and friendly... The food? Wow!!! Delicious for a great price too! Highly recommend!!!

We absolutely love this place & have to visit every time we are in London Bridge. It never disappoints! The food & cocktails are incredible. Best hotdogs in town. The Smokey Ginger cocktail is simply divine. Such a good vibe, always lively with good music. The staff are really friendly & super efficient. The owner Jim is amazing, always remembers us even after months have passed between visits. Makes us feel so welcome every time. If you’re in the area make sure you pay it a visit - you won’t be disappointed!

Delicious food!!! Friendly and very helpful staff. I loved every part of my burger, highly recommended! The best place in Borough Market.

Site 10!!! Super fast and charming, especially the Italian waiter Mateo, who was super attentive and treated us great!! Super recommended!

Delicious. I ordered a “chicken and chorizo” burger which left me absolutely satisfied. I highly recommend it.

Mega tasty burgers - good service!

Loved the very nice service and the burgers. We had a big cheese one and the daily special, a pulled Korean burger. Great little spot on the far east exit of Borough Market.

I loved the Burger, the lovely service and the atmosphere is really great!

Great food/drinks and super friendly staff!

Racist mentality. There were no seats when I placed my order and so I decided to do take away. While I was waiting for my order, a few tables become available and when I asked for eat in they didn't let me in. Next came white people and they welcomed them with warm heart.

Spectacular !! The attention of the waiters was great! Great burger! Very good value for money. It is recommended to visit Borough Market.

Top cheeseburger with chips. Son happy, what more could you want as a parent. Portion was quite large. Very convincing in terms of taste.

The best chicken burger we have ever eaten. The atmosphere is super cool and the staff is very friendly. A real recommendation!!

Great breakfast sandwich and cocktails!

The food is absolutely fabulous, will recommend to anyone I know coming to London!

I tried WG Burger and I love it. I'm not big fan of sweet barbecue sauce but in this burger I didn't mind it. My boyfriend also love it!

Cozy place, spectacular service and delicious food, great beer!! 20/10 haha. I loved everything, highly recommended! I would always come back

Wow! This is a magical bar in the heart of London. It has a great chilled out vibe, and the staff and owners were absolutely brilliant at customer service and making us feel very welcome. The wine and the company was top class. The food looked amazing and next time we visit we will sample the menu. All in all, this is a brilliant gem of a bar... a shining diamond in the big city of London. Thank you guys for such a memorable and special few hours. Cheers....Ali

Close to Borough Market, it was a great discovery, without a doubt one of the best burgers I have ever had, and one of the best meals I had in London. They have the option to take away. I recommend the Korean chicken, and it is the one I saw served the most among the locals. The waiters are very friendly and they serve you your order quickly. If you are in the area, don't hesitate!

Pulled pork burger is soo good 😍👌☀️

The food was amazing and the service was excellent. Food was quick and not a huge wait. The Mac and cheese bites are a must and the Whiskey and Ginger drinks is nice and refreshing!

Don't normally eat at these touristy spots but the burger was fantastic, well worth the £12 !

Delicious Burger !! We all tried different burgers and they were all very good ! Korean burger is unusual but very tasty! Daily Burger with some smashed pork just WOW !

A very good address, unusual hamburgers and hot dogs, a real treat

One of the best burgers we've ever eaten in our lives! Compliments

Absolutely amazing burger 🍔 😋 best ever 😋

Whisky ginger was a disappointing experience. The burger was mostly bread and hardly any meat. The BBQ sauce was too much and too sticky. I had no napkins to wipe it off. The chips were a rip-off and tasteless. No ketchup offered either I assume it costs more money. The service was terrible and misleading. We wasted our time in a line that was not even to order food, and none of the staff bothered to tell us. Then the staff got our order wrong and we had to go back to get it fixed. I would not go back or recommend this place to anyone. It was a below average spot.

Smoked Ginger Old Fashioned 🤤🤤👍😍

For 10£ it was delicious really I recommend

The best hot dog and smokey old-fashioned I have had in years. Will return

The pulled pork burger is to die for, staff is amazing ❤️ we loved the energy

Nicest staff team! Food was yum, wish we'd had time to try some of the burgers and hot dogs. Very small venue with only one, unisex toilet in the place. Lots of seating outside and cocktails were great too

Anbefales! Lite, trangt sted hvor "alle" passerer mellom bordene og grillhytta. Deilig saftig cheeseburger med bacon 🥓 🧀

Meh. It was a sourced, deep fried chicken breast on a roll with lettuce and some sauce. It was fine but, not worth £10.50. For that much, something ought to made in house.

Very nice craft lager and burgers. Friendly and polite staff. Nice atmosphere and music.
