| - Local is generally on my rotation in the Southside. I think it's moreso because it's the current "new" spot, and I like to see the talent that Pittsburgh has to offer. If the crowd sucks, I likely wouldn't come back.
I've been here for: lunch, dinner, & late night.
Food review: I love the concept. If I were going to open a restaurant (someday, hopefully) I would open a place similar to Local. The sandwiches I've had were really good, but seriously, if you're going to use giant bread/buns, the middle (meat, veggie, etc) between the bread probably shouldn't fit entirely on 1/3 of sandwich. Fill the bitch up, or use smaller bread...it's like a short guy buying Magnums...you're not fooling anyone.
Beer review: How do you have such a weak tap selection when you have a very solid bottle selection? I don't get it. Get better draft beers.
Night life: On an attractiveness scale, the clientele is better than average. Not mind-blowing, but hey, it's Pittsburgh. As others have said, it can get a bit douchey. Also, when I'm drinking at night, I like some mood lighting. But upstairs, I feel like I'm under a spotlight...wayyyy too bright. Turn down the lights, I'd rather be surprised at 2am that disappointed at midnight. I do like the big-ass fan upstairs though. Downstairs, I like the open windows...I wish more places had this "feel."
Hopefully they go uphill & not downhill...I will be back.
