I was a bit late to meet up with some friends at LOCAL on 8th Ave so I only had a couple drinks and skipped food. This was my first time visiting LOCAL and despite it being a short experience I couldn't help but notice the warm upbeat atmosphere and great service.
Inside is much bigger than the outside leads you to believe, there's plenty of seating and it doesn't feel too squishy. The décor was interesting, somewhat rustic meets industrial with a little bit of modern flare. The drink menu was quite solid, good selection of craft beer and rotating seasonal beers, they had awesome drink specials as well! Our server was on the ball and was very personable. She went as far as to have an entertaining side conversation about Jurassic World with my friend lol.
Quick sneak-peak this time, but definitely enough for me to want to go back. Hope this is a taste of a great future visit :). Cheers!
