| - In a neighbourhood flooded with pubs, The Local stands out as the cuter, friendlier choice. It's a smaller, more intimate pub with very friendly staff. The bar is set up nicely for live music with plenty of small tables hugging the floor-level stage. If you're on a date, I'd skip the darker tables inside and head out back to the brighter, greenery-covered back patio, which has a more relaxed vibe than inside.
Most of the menu is British-style pub food (burgers and fish 'n chips), but there are a surprising number of vegetarian options, especially salads - roasted beet and cashew salad, pear, walnut and goat cheese salad, and a local salad that changes daily - tonight's had asparagus. Salad-hating vegetarians (do they exist?) may also enjoy edemame or hummus appetizers, quesadillas, or their homemade veggie burger.
Love the vibe. The food is just okay. Nice selection of local beers is even better.
