Hipsters don't want your mainstream food establishments.
Give them organic kale, an upcycled wooden table, and local craft brews, and they're a happy bunch.
Hipster restaurants tend to prize anything local, organic, homemade, or vintage. They're also trendy and often pretentious. But of course the most telling sign of a hipster restaurant is that it's filled with hipsters.
We searched all over to find the most hipster restaurants in the U.S., judging by the localness, trendiness, and hipsterness of each place.

ATLANTA
Bocado
887 Howell Mill Road
Bocado emphasizes its culinary creativity, experimenting every season with fresh ingredients featured in their rotating menu. Bone marrow, which is very in right now, is done right at Bocado; enjoy it with a cold craft beer and take in the industrial, warehouse-esque atmosphere.
Miller Union
999 Brady Avenue
Miller Union specializes in farm-to-table delicacies, particularly their raved-over ice-cream sandwiches (made in-house). However, MU was recently featured in an episode of "The Layover" with Anthony Bourdain, and the uptick in popularity could drive hipsters out.
AUSTIN
Hillside Farmacy
1209 E. 11th Street
This restaurant and specialty grocery store carved out a place for itself in the old Hillside Drugstore building, hence the name. They serve comfort-food dishes, which invariably include kale, inside a dining room that features the old pharmacy's original cabinetry.
Lamberts
401 W. 2nd Street
What's Austin without barbecue? Or fancy barbecue, in Lamberts' case. Located in the restored historic Schneider Building, Lamberts prides itself on modern Texas cooking with specialties like the oak-smoked local chicken. Don't miss the nightly live music in the upstairs lounge.
BOSTON
Tres Gatos
470 Centre Street (Jamaica Plain)
Tres Gatos makes your feel right at home. Located inside a house on the outskirts of Boston, the restaurant has a dining room that feels more like a living room, and plates tapas-style meals that are great for sharing. On your way out, hit up the back room, which doubles as a book-and-record store.
