Every Beijing Burger Festival is unique – an opportunity to try burgers you’ve never had in addition to filling up on old faves and just downright partying to the live music and entertainment. In 2021, more than a dozen new vendors will be bringing their best beef for you to sample – just be sure not to get any sauce on your astronaut suit!

But before we get to the new burgers, take note: While we were planning on launching ticket sales today, we have decided to postpone sales while we make double sure that we can hold the fest on Sep 3-5. While the situation seems to be looking up, the truth is that we can't be too careful. So continue to keep an eye out as we plan to begin sales with the week.

Now, on to the new and fresh vendors!

By the way, even if you don’t associate some of these places with burgers, they will be flippin’ em at the fest!

Manchester United Restaurant

These burgers are a can't miss for United fans. This football-themed barbecue restaurant is bringing its ultra-cheesy "Rich Man" rib burgers straight to your mouth. No hands allowed! (Just kidding, please do use your hands to eat the burgers.)

FAMOUS Mexican Taco Bar

You may know them for their tacos, steak, and pork ribs, but for the Beijinger’s fest, Famous is rolling out their burger game.

Shadow of the Cloud 云下

Ever had a Yunnannese burger? Neither have we, but we can’t wait to give it a try!

ZhenMeat 珍肉

Plant-based meat company ZhenMeat has become well known among Beijing’s vegetarian communities as their products have been used in burgers and more in restaurants around town. Now, they're bringing their own burgers to the fest.

Beyond Meat

Another plant-based meat company that’s popular around the globe, Beyond Meat is also coming in hot to Burger Fest after bringing in a variety of their products to China.

Burge's Bistro & Bar 小伯格酒馆

Just opened on Sanlitun Nanlu, Burge’s is on of the hottest new cocktail bars in town. Plus, it practically has the word Burger in its name. Well, most of it anyway! But actually, their burger menu is fresh off the grill, so even if you’ve stopped by, this is a great chance to grab a first bite of their patties.

GLOU Bar & Kitchen

Created by the founders of beer-scription service Drinking Buddies, GLOU is bound to bring in some fine brews to go along with their tasty burgers.

SPATULA 兰雅私厨

We’ve seen pastas and plenty of fusion action from this stand in the 5L Hotel food court in Guomao, and now we’re looking forward to how their culinary talent translates into burgers.

Messy Burger 汉堡探索中心

A neighbor to SPATULA, we were mightily impressed with Messy Burger when we gave them a try earlier this year.

Galant 伽蓝音乐餐吧 .

One of the newer bars in Sanlitun’s Courtyard 4, Galant plans to show the people what they're made of – and what their burgers are made of – at this year’s fest.

Slider Nation 小堡邦

You may have seen the mustachioed maestro serving up spicy sliders at the Beijinger’s Hot & Spicy Fest, but now Slider Nation is finally bringing its little burgers where they belong.

Kitty & Daniel Hollywood Grill&Bar 大牛好莱坞餐吧

Another you might have seen at Spicy Fest, Kitty & Daniel are doing burgers the Hollywood way.

FireWorks 北焰美式扒房

Being a steakhouse, Fireworks knows meat. You better believe they’ll bring their A-game to their burgers.
