I've been to The Local numerous times over the past year, fortunately for me, it actually is the local bar!
There always seems to be live music, but not always a free seat. A few times, we went to another location due to limited seating, and a few times, we actually got the last table in the house.
I love the local art that is used to decorate the walls. And overall, the red and yellow low-lite ambiance is pretty chill and a decent place to have a beer in the city.
