    Question for the audience: what city do you most associate this style with? For me it’s Seattle, because that’s where I live, and ugh, it’s everywhere.

        I grew up in a small town in the rockies and one of the developer outfits had a fancy office with this decor

          Oh probably. It’s quite a popular design choice.

          Modern Rustic / Industrial Rustic does look really cool to me, so I can see the reason why it’s so popular.

            It IS cool, and I will die on this hill before I let these places tarnish the style!

              Exactly the style is fine the problem is the use of it as an excuse to pretend all your stuff is unicorn dust and triple the prices.

      Boulder, CO comes to mind for me. Although, there’s one in my small town that’s almost exactly like this so I suppose these are just everywhere.

      Confession: I actually kinda like this decor. Not the overpriced food and drinks though.

        Yeah, I doubt many people mind the decor, just the prices that seem to always come with it.

      Winston-Salem, NC. This looks like 3/4 of our downtown hipster spots. Except everything here is also a microbrewery. Soooo many different IPAs. I didn’t realize that there were so many ways to make beer that tastes like shit.

        Are IPAs somehow cheaper to make or something? Like the whole microbrewery scene has devolved into “We make nine IPAs, whatever the fuck a cucumber lager is, and a stout.”

          Hops cover up shitty beer very easily. That’s a big part in it.

          Even with a dozen microbreweries within a walk of my house, it’s over half IPAs. I love them, but my wife is sad about the lack of stouts. There’s a couple of good breweries with solid stouts, so it’s not too bad.

        Yeah, I don’t think there’s a restaurant on Alberta that doesn’t have at least a little of this aesthetic.

        That said, Pine State is worth the asking price and I’ll kill on that hill.

      Really? I see most US places come with sides at least. I have to go with Queenstown, NZ.

      I was gonna say SF, but now that I think about it the burger places there tend to be a bit more quaint and definitely don’t have the live laugh love shit everywhere. At least I’ve never seen one, but it’s a big fucking city so there’s almost definitely at least one.

      They were everywhere in Denver.

      Came here to call out Seattle too. Those chairs especially show up in any style of restaurant it is wild. I see this some in Spokane (or I did when I was there last don’t know if there are more or fewer of them in the last few years).

      I moved to Seattle 2 years ago, and I’ve seen it ALL over the US. Mostly in gentrified neighborhoods or the college kid areas.
