Black Tap Burgers have been taking New York City by storm since opening ten years ago and they’re set to open their flagship London restaurant this Thursday and are giving away 100 free burgers from 11am to celebrate.
The impressive two level, 5,000 sq ft, 164 capacity Black Tap restaurant is located on Glasshouse Street in Soho and will see guests immersed in Black tap’s signature style: bold monochrome floors, graffiti-covered walls by visual artist Bradley Theodore and a golden-era hip-hop soundtrack oozing NYC vibes.
We’re not really attending for the ambiance though are we – although it does help – it’s all about the burgers and Black Tap doesn’t disappoint there, offering the following selections:
The Londoner Burger – a new burger just for London, this consists of a premium thick beef patty, stinking bishop cheese, Sammy Smith’s apple cider jam, watercress, radish and Dijon mustard vinaigrette – British institutions between New York’s Best Buns.
The All American Burger – comprising of a succulent, thick 100% beef patty, cheese and Black Tap’s special sauce.
The Falafel Burger – made with Black Tap’s succulent falafel patty, vegan feta, pickled onions, hummus, tahini, cilantro, parsley, all on a whole wheat vegan bun.
The Texan Burger – burger, bacon, aged cheddar, crispy onion ring, bbq sauce, mayo
The Champ Burger – wagyu burger, house buttermilk-dill, blue cheese, rocket
The Wagyu Steakhouse Burger – wagyu burger, pepper jack cheese, crispy onions, A1 sauce, roasted garlic mayo

There are actually a few more burgers on their website as well as the usual array of sides like chicken tenders, chicken wings and mozarella sticks. The All American burger and Falafel burgers are the ones they’ll be giving away free on Thursday though so just be aware of that.
If this hasn’t been enough to get you to come down and check out Black Tap, then on’t froget their signature CRAZY SHAKES as well. One of them, The Big Apple Crazy Shake even has a whole toffee apple in it. You really need to see these ones to believe them.
So yeah get down early on Thursday if you want one of the free burgers – if not then make sure you sample Black Tap when you get a chance because they’re upping the burger game. There’s also a location in Westfield Stratford if you can brave the crowds.
