奥克兰的“重要设计先生”在加州和其他地方留下了一条超级酷的场地，他清楚地知道是什么把臀部放在了一个时髦的夜晚；他们最新的作品并没有让人失望。钱伯斯餐饮是旧金山凤凰城酒店新设想的酒吧，这是一家前50年代的汽车旅馆，以其作为独立和摇滚皇室的碰撞垫而闻名；据说，珍珠果酱、辣椒、基努·里维斯和小理查德等人都喜欢这家绝对不豪华的酒店，该酒店坐落在这个城市臭名昭著的坚韧不拔的丁德林区。

Leaving a trail of super-cool venues across California and beyond, Oakland’s Mr. Important Design clearly know a thing or two about what puts the hip into a hip-nightspot; and their latest oeuvre does not disappoint. Chambers Eat and Drink is the newly re-imagined bar at San Francisco’s Phoenix Hotel, a former ’50’s motel known for its reputation as a crashpad for indie and rock royalty; the likes of Pearl Jam, the Chili Peppers, Keanu Reeves and Little Richard are all said to favour this decidedly non-luxe hotel that’s located in the city’s infamously gritty Tenderloin district.

然而，对于富丽堂皇的新酒店酒吧来说，没有什么不豪华的地方，但是-大约1万张专辑在墙上摆设着，仿佛是某种另类的摇滚乐图书馆-对其辉煌的音乐史有着令人兴奋的赞许之情。还有一个改造过的庭院游泳池区，有着诱人的复古魅力。你很容易想象，在好莱坞山的一家酒店前客人的家中，你会在颓废的泳池边感到寒意。

 There’s nothing non-luxe however about Mr. Important’s lavish new hotel bar, but – with some 10,000 albums furnishing the walls, as if some kind of alternative rock’n'roll library – there’s more than a heady nod to its illustrious musical history. There’s a reworked courtyard pool area too, with an appealingly retro glamour to it. You could easily imagine you’re chilling beside the decadent poolside at one of the hotel’s former guest’s homes in the Hollywood Hills.

里面有简单但时尚的食物，可以与朴素但毫不费力的凉爽环境相匹配；块状汉堡、脆脆的猪肚和放纵的酒吧小吃可以用经典鸡尾酒和本地啤酒冲走。在他们令人印象深刻的“洛杉矶模式”招待所的投资组合中，还有另一项巨大的成功。在某种程度上，他的设计是对上世纪60年代受到冲击的一家工厂的回应。这些工厂的记录无疑装饰着旧金山最热门的新场馆的墙壁。

Inside there’s simple but stylish fare to match the unpretentious but effortlessly cool surroundings; chunky burgers, crispy pork belly and indulgent bar bites can be washed down with classic cocktails and local beers. Adding yet another resounding success to their impressive portfolio ofa la mode hangouts, Mr. Important are kind of like design’s answer to one of those 1960s hit factories, whose records no doubt adorn the walls of San Francisco’s hottest new venue.
