Local Bar has everything going for it. It has a prime location on the South Side, it's clean, it offers a variety of indoor / outdoor seating options, the food is tasty and the staff is friendly. All that said, I am completely ambivalent about the place. I don't know what it is. Perhaps it's the $9 appetizers and the fact you can't even get a simple salad for under $8 or maybe it's something else like the atrocious South Side parking situation. I don't know really. Hm.
I'm definitely willing to give it another try, but considering the numerous other dining options on the South Side, this is getting put back towards the bottom of the rotation.
