Rockwell & Sons

This hipster haunt nails the urban design brief, with exposed bricks, low-watt lightbulbs and a mix of lofty bar stools and low-slung benches. In the open kitchen, bearded men bust out fried chicken and burgers, including the signature double-patty smash, a juicy mishmash of beef, Kraft cheese and tangy sauce. They’re balanced by refined salads such as beetroot wedges with dill and splodges of labna, or crisp-fried brussels sprouts with salty queso fresco. Pumpkin pie with dulce de leche continues the mod nod to America for dessert. Drinks include a tight edit of craft beers and boozy sodas.
