We ordered the ceasar salad- it was good, the chicken on top was OKAY 1 fish taco - AMAZING - quite filling for something so small 1 chicken taco - also great!! (fish was better) highly recommend, great for apps or drinks before going out. The atmosphere is also nice:)
What caught my eye was their rooftop balcony, hence I made it an objective to see what this place was all about. The Local is a "local" trendy bar that has a great selection of food and beer. The atmosphere is bustling, dim, spacious and friendly. Their drink menu is extensive, featuring local breweries and some main-stream labels. They've got their $5 glass of mystery wine RED or WHITE..... For food we kept it very light. Edamame: quite a good portion sprinkled with salt over it. Not bad Chips and guacamole: made in ... read more
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)
Business response:
Hi Sapna, We love hearing the feedback. We are currently working on revamping our menu so it stands out as much as the beer selection. We will also be getting some new shuffle board rocks. With the great weather the patio will be open in full force over the next few days. Hope to see you swing by. LOCAL Leaside MGMT
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.

Hi Marcus, Thanks for letting me know the volume level was too loud. I will take this feedback back to my team as that is not the goal of music.

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
