A solid burger place in Kennedy Town.
The menu says "Taste of Leisure" and that's certainly the vibe here. The environment is more of a hipster bar than a restaurant with about 2 dozen craft beers, high table seating, exposed brick wall, billiard table, electronic darts arcade, and chill music playing overhead.
The burger is a bit of a cross between a gourmet and bar style burger. Simple handmade patty, but presented well in a mess-containing wooden tray.
I usually go with a standard cheeseburger to truly assess a new burger joint, but opted for the Handmade US Angus Beer and Mushroom Burger ($88) with American cheese and sautéed mushrooms and onions.
The burger was cooked medium by default (without being asked) and juices started dripping out when I went for my first bite. The meat was flavorful and the American cheese reminded me of my childhood. The bun was slightly over toasted that made it less malleable around the burger, but it just made it a little messier. The bun also had a slight sweetness that surprisingly accompanied the burger well.
The best bet for a burger in Kennedy Town (as of current), I'll be back for the same burger and also try some of the other non-beef burger options as well as starters and snacks. read more
