| - LOCAL on 8th is well... on 8th avenue SW, along Stephen ave. It's like the prime neighbor meeting spot. Upon entrance, you could be greeted but it's more of a make yourself at home kind of place. I'd say Local is a casual but classy pub. A big bar in the center, some booths and high top tables scattered and closer to the back there are some normal seats, half booth half chairs.
The menus are already on the table but I'd say don't even look at the menu and trust me on this. FISH TACOS, yes... FISH TACOS - get them, probably order about 2-3 to start, maybe a side of yam fries but you must order the fish tacos. They're SO bomb, actually the best in the city - BEER (need I say more?) battered Baja, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, some of their special sauce and lemon. If you're feelin hot, squeeze some hot sauce on them, you really can't go wrong. Super soft tortilla, crispy but juicy baja fish, unreal sauce, light crunch on the shredded cabbage and pico de gallo, the combination is heavenly like the close your eyes and remember this moment heavenly. I can be pretty over the top sometimes but this is for real, my friends and I crave these tacos all the time and even for my past birthday, I requested that we go to Local in order to have the perfect birthday celebrations!
Okay okay, enough raving about the fish tacos (for now), I've had other food and the fries, burgers, sandwiches and salads are all wonderful, kind of typical pub food but with their own twist. They even offer brunch on the weekends from 10AM to 3PM which I highly recommend. It's like people don't know about the brunch menu or something. The eggs benedict is great and the banana pancakes are yum! They actually taste like crispy banana pancakes, fluffy banana goodness and the brunch prices are all under $20!
Now to the staff, they're amazing. Every time I visit, they're always top notch - very attentive, always making some small talk, fun and super friendly. I've never had a moment where I felt rushed even after I finish eating, I'm a chatterbox so friends and I stay for a little to chat and never once you get that feeling they want you out. They say on their website "who are we - ...kind of like your living room, just with better food and people to serve you beer" it's true. The vibe is great, as if you are among friends.
I highly HIGHLY recommend visiting Local, not just for their absolutely delicious, amazingly crisp, heavenly and tasty baja fish tacos but for the environment, vibe and good times. Go visit, you wont regret it.
