Bootleg Special

Restaurant by Assembly Design Studio in US

The exterior is understated and dive-like. The interior is defined by deceivingly high ceilings and industrial design cues that provide a perfectly imperfect backdrop for a swanky reclaimed 6’ chandelier that greets you as you enter the room. On the right, an oversized stylish banquette runs along a dramatic concrete wall that leads to a lively bar. While on the left, a 20-foot-tall steel installation slathered in street art gives you something to discuss while slurping a wide range of creative cocktails and spicy crustaceans.
