This Vibrant Burger Bar Offers a Fresh Take on the Retro Diner, Catering to Digital Natives
2022 Best of Year Winner for Counter Service
Catering to digital natives who favor bite-size content and bite-size burgers, SLDR, by New York studio Bluarch, entices patrons with a fresh take on the retro diner. Anchoring the elongated 2,000-square-foot joint is vibrant steel framing that incorporates a high-top counter and overhead lighting. Its safety-orange powder coat is bright enough to be seen from the sidewalk and complements the glossy teal ceramic tile cladding the service counter opposite. As for the rest, walls and the ceiling are finished with hand-applied plaster, the latter in 1970’s-esque concentric shapes of bold red, orange, and yellow. Come for the sliders, stay for the vibes.
