Burger Lovers Card: Reliable Pub Grub Just Got Cheaper at The Local

Ahoy there burger fiends! We hope the holidays have made you hot and hungry, because we have yet another scorching Burger Lovers Club Card deal lined up for you this weekend. Sadly, however, it also marks the last promotion to be added to the card, so we'd recommend scoffing down as many of these as you can during all that free time you're currently enjoying.

And what a treat we have for you this time. For many, this venue stands as the trusted friend among its many other flashier Sanlitun cohorts. Always present, willing to listen, and only sometimes too trashed to help you out of a bind, The Local is a haven for strong drinks, good company, and wholesome American grub. It also doesn't hurt that the venue's staff are renowned for their friendliness, never amiss should you visit for a work lunch, ladies' brunch, wings night, or someone's birthday.

Now they're offering you the chance to buy any burger on weekdays, noon-4pm, and get any burger of equal or lesser value for free.

Coming in a superb sixth place in last year's the Beijinger Burger Cup, The Local has made a name for itself by serving consistently good food with the occasional twist (one example is their cauliflower "wings", creating a veggie-friendly option that for some carnivores even trumps the real deal). However, the Dry Rub Avocado Burger, for which they climbed the 2017's burger rankings cannot be overlooked. As we said at the time, "The Local’s signature Dry Rub Avocado Burger demonstrates just how delectable burgers can be when the perfect pairing between condiments and toppings complements a beef patty." That pairing specifically owes its lush and textured filling to its 100 percent Australian beef and fresh avocados sourced daily.

So whether it's a punchy cocktail, a belly full of nourishing food, or just a chat over a game of pool, The Local is always waiting for you, right in the heart of Sanlitun.

With that, they join our other mouthwatering deals from top burger purveyors like De RefterDomain, EAST, Beijing, Side StreetHome PlateThe Great OutdoorsArrow FactoryQ Mex3 Little PigsCommon Burger, and Fatboy’s.

With one more vendor on the list, we're yet another step closer to succeeding in our great experiment to keep you fed with the city’s best burgers!
