About this business

We owe a couple rounds of whisky to the Founding Father of Gastown, Captain Jack Deighton. Also known as "Gassy Jack," he was a pilot turned saloonkeeper who loved to gas, & no, that doesn't mean what you might think it means. In Victorian times, the term meant to talk a lot & the Captain loved to do just that. Gastown has a distinct character that brings you back in time with its cobbled streets, exposed brick, famous Steam Clock & beautiful street lights. It's one of the many reasons we love being part of this iconic neigh... read more

A definite step up from Chill Winston! Local has a great patio with full sunshine, but good luck getting a seat. It is already bumpin and it's only March. My friends and I went here for a St patty's day lunch which was really fun. The vibe was great, an older crowd which was refreshing and yummy food. I ordered a mimosa to start and then had the tuna poke for lunch. Great tuna, really fresh and tasty flavour. It came with plenty of chips too which was nice as I didn't have to ask for extra. We had seats at the bar, the servi... read more

Good food and location, but no Guiness on St. Patrick's day. Still great place to hang out!

Having frequented the Local in Kits many times, I was curious to see how that experience transformed to it's new Gastown location. Had the opportunity last Saturday with the girlfriend (17th) to do just that. Found parking just around the corner, and was pleasantly surprised to find the rates very reasonable at $2.00 per hour. Bear in mind though the max parking is 2 hours in Gastown, unlike other areas in the city were the max parking is 3 hours. (i.e. Yaletown for example.) No biggie, Just something to bear in mind once yo... read more

The Local was amazing! This is my GF and I first time in Vancouver and we couldn't be happier. We had the deluxe burger and the wings. One word "YUM". On top of delicious food we had amazing service! Our waitress Justine made the experience phenomenal!!!! We loved her!!! She was very attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and even gave us recommendations on things to do during our visit! The manager even came to check on us and was so pleasant to meet! Thank you all for a great experience from beginning to end! W... read more

Very good steak, well cooked, and full of flavor. Jamie is an awesome server and I'd even be willing to bet that she's on par or better with the last yelpers review of Lauren. On a serious note, order the Steak and street corn, you won't be disappointed!

Pretty cool transformation of what used to be the old Chill Winston. I had high expectations of this place but ended up being disappointed because the server was expressionless and rude to us during our visit. We noticed that there was no cutlery on the table so we asked for some forks and extra napkins. She looked at us vacantly, walked away without a word, came back with a handful of forks and knives (no napkins), shoved everything into my hand and walked away again without saying a single thing to me. ....Okay then?

Great place to socialize, my friends and I are always drinking responsibly at Local and we always know our limits. The bar tenders, servers, cooks, and bar backs are amazing, polite and kind individuals. Make sure to check out this new bar and enjoy the FANTASTIC quesadillas.

Kyra, the night manager at the local is an absolute beauty! We wanted something informal, fun, and high vibes for my girlfriends birthday on Saturday January 20th. We understood that it would be busy and that they didn't take reservations. We figured if we showed up early enough we would be able to get a table. We did wait, but the place was slammed and all staff members were trying to accommodate everyone as best they could. We had a party kept growing and growing, by chance and not ignorance. We were only supposed to ... read more
