| - Friends and I popped in to grab a few shareable plates before a Toronto Wolfpack game on a Saturday afternoon. Although drawn in by the large patio, we decided to sit inside to cool down. Because it was the weekend, the place was packed and football (soccer) and other sports games were displayed on TVs lining the walls. I really liked the laid-back but aesthetic industrial atmosphere.
We ordered two things to share: half-sized ($9.5) fully loaded nachos (full size is $19) and perogies ($8). The best out of the two was the perogies - loaded with potato and cheese and dressed with bacon, caramelized onion, and green onion slices, these are a must-try (I don't even know if you'll want to share them because they're that tasty). I found the nachos to be really good and different from your traditional nachos - sour cream, jack cheese, sliced olives, french onion slices, jalapenos, a sort of house sauce, avocado, and pulled chicken - I felt like this was a California-inspired plate.
Located in chill and artsy Liberty Village, LOCAL is a great stop for casual but classier pub-type food. It's, in my opinion, it's one of the best places in the area to watch a sports game at or to try before or after you catch a game at one of the nearby sports fields.
