The atmosphere was electric with many young professionals getting a start on the weekend. The menu has a good variety and daily evening specials - fried fish nuggets on Friday night. The tables are situated (I would call them semi-snugs.) so that you have a bit of privacy, which is nice because it does get a bit difficult to talk... More

As part of a party of 8 on a busy Friday night, I was worried that things would be choppy, but we were seated relatively quickly, in a private alcove. We enjoyed a variety of the many beers on tap - there was definitely something for everyone. The service was very attentive and the friendly. Everyone was very pleased with... More

I just had a rueben, and my wife had a burger. The burger wasn't anything special at all. Pretty average. My reuben was good, the bread may have been the best part though. So for 1 beer, 1 soda, and 2 lunchs, I paid around 35 bucks. I could eat for a week on that much money. Ok food, poor... More

The food was pretty decent and service is quite good. We were a larger group and grabbed one of the smaller room to the side. Our server was accommodating and checked in frequently.

I've been to The Local a couple of times, and am amazed by how beautiful and unique this bar is. There are private tables enclosed in turn of the century alcoves, intricate chandeliers, high ceilings, and lovely architectural details. There's also a side area that opens up for large parties and busy nights called The Hallow that has a cozy,... More

Had drinks and dinner there. Irish pub food. The fish bites were very good. I ordered the Open Faced Gravlax and really enjoyed it. Good variety of beers and ciders. Fun atmosphere.

Stopped in on a Friday night and the place was packed. However, I didn't have to wait for a table and the waitress was very prompt. Very large selection of beer and a nice choice of food. I highly recommend the Local burger, very tasty! The place is big with a nice mixture of professionals and college kids. However, the... More

Slow Monday evening in Minneapolis and more people in the pub then on the street, which was great. Very welcoming atmosphere and staff. Nice big bar. Food was a good value. Had the chicken pot pie, which was tasty, although I would have liked it to have more chunks of chicken and a little less cardamom (i think that is... More

I consider this place a top-notch bar. The atmosphere is just like pubs in the UK, and there is no lack of great beer, Jameson, and liquors. The food is actually above average for a bar, and even the "wee lunches" are great if you work DT, or are here for a day. If you are in town for St.... More
