Was in the area and decided to drop by for some drinks and wings! We were not disappointed. We walked in and grabbed seats at the bar to watch the Raptors play. *GO RAPTORS GO* We got there around 8ish and it was pretty busy for a random Wednesday night. The bar seats were great for watching the games, there were a bunch of TVs on each wall, so you didn't have to worry about breaking your neck all night to watch the game. They had great selections of IPAs, wines, cocktails, and liquor. Their food menu wasn't 3 pages long b... read more

Food and drink: The Local gets 5 stars for their beer - they've got a good selection of craft beer to suit any taste profile. The food is decent but nothing to rave about, more an accompaniment to good drinks Atmosphere: Trendy, especially compared to what I was expecting for the location. Also love that they've got a shuffleboard table (though they need to get new discs, most of them are broken)

I would go four stars but.... We love this place because of the upstairs dining area where no one under 19 is permitted (as your sign indicates). The food is very good and all of your servers/staff are great. But last weekend there were children (under the age of 7) allowed in this area of the restaurant. We asked about this and were told on the weekends, during brunch, this was now allowed by management. The sign, when you enter, definitely states no none under the age of 19 is allowed upstairs. My friend thought it... read more

A business lunch was in order for a group of staff. I made the reservations and called ahead to have an assortment of apps ready upon our arrival. Good on their word the apps arrived along with our drinks. There was a great selection and slowly we were filling up on these tasty treats. When I said to everyone to order their main they were surprised to get such huge portions. Every dish ordered was hot, fresh and tasty. I ordered what I thought was a simple burger. The meat was so fresh it was falling apart. I barely ... read more

Good food, good service and price was reasonable. We would definitely come back. Music was too loud to really converse.

I have been going to The Local since it opened in the 'hood & really enjoy all the food & the service. The space itself is fabulous. Beautiful bar area upstairs- bright & the windows & glass roof can be fully opened on nice summer days. Every server I have had in dozens of visits has been friendly & helpful. Every single food item has been very good. Particularly- fish tacos, press burgers, calamari, perogies + fish&chips (HINT- although not mentioned on the menu, you can downsize to a 1-piece fish& chips). Tons of regularly... read more

Went here for lunch with my mom last week. Immediately I can tell you, if your driving be weary of getting a parking spot. We barely made it in and it was the middle of the afternoon. Also the parking lot was like a sheet of ice (no salt what so ever) and I almost slipped and fell on the way in. Anyhow! The space inside is actually quite large, the place was busy but we managed to find a seat fairly effortlessly (we did almost steal someone else's booth due to their "seat yourself" rule). Our waitress came quick for our drin... read more

Always a good time! The food, drinks, and servers are always on point - wish I lived closer but definitely my top choice when I'm in the neighbourhood :-)

I came here with 5 of my friends. I chose the Tinuana Ceasar Salad. One of the best salads I've had, tangy, flavorful, and different textures on this salad. Awesome ambience and great for families as well.
