5 Boroughs Is Expanding to Ascot

You like burgers. We like burgers. And we're never going to get tired of telling you where Brisbanites can eat more burgers more often. 5 Boroughs joined the list in March 2015, however they're not content with simply slinging meat and bread combos from their Stones Corner store. Say hello to 5 Boroughs Ascot.

Come March 5, the American-style eatery will be trading on both sides of the river, bringing their New York-influenced street food to a whole new part of the city. Burgers of the classic, cheese, bacon-filled and vegan variety might be their main attraction, but there's plenty more on offer. Baby back ribs in Bulldog Bourbon sauce, ginger pepper caramel chicken wings or a Reuben on rye, anyone?

You'll find all that in Ascot, plus a few new additions. All things Brooklyn might reign at their initial digs, but their new hangout will be channeling the spirit of Manhattan. That means a new line of slow-cooked BBQ meats will also join the menu, much to the delight of our stomachs. It also means a boutique Boroughs experience in a roomier space, complete with a beer garden and a bigger drinks list.

So, whether you're a northsider who doesn't want to trek across town, or a burger lover willing to go wherever your tastebuds take you, mark your diaries for the beginning of March. We recommend heading along on opening day to take advantage of 5 Boroughs' two-for-one deal — which is supposed to encourage you to bring a friend, but could just give you a second serving of greasy goodness. We won't judge you.

Find 5 Boroughs Ascot at 120 Racecourse Road, Ascot from March 5. For more information, visit their website or Facebook page.
