The Local

The Local offers a hometown bar feel in the heart of the city. I liked the high top tables and it was nice out when we visited so they had the garage doors open. We were here on a Friday afternoon so it wasn't busy, but it was a little bit of a struggle to get our drink orders. There were only two bar tenders and they stayed behind the bar. We did not get food and continued our walk through downtown.

Out of all the places my wife and I visited in Charlotte, this was our favorite stop. Fun staff, friendly local people, and great food. $2 tacos on Tuesday which is a crazy good deal in a major metropolitan area that were absolutely delicious. Do yourself a favor and swing by!

Very friendly staff and clean. I really enjoyed the fun atmosphere and drink specials. I definitely recommend this spot for a good time.

This bar was lit!!! Security was tight coming from fellow a Security guy!!! Food was awesome had the black bean burger. DJ played bangers all night on sat night! And the Bartender I had was fantastic...will be back!!

Showed up for a late lunch. They had a cheap taco deal for a Tuesday which was great, $2. Recommend the buffalo shrimp. The Gamecock was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. We sat at the bar and the bartender was running the entire restaurant on her own, so that being considered, the service was good. She even went so far to suggest a few places for us to go for nightlife.

This place is super cool! Big communal tables inside and good seating outside. Tons of TV's for sports, probably the best place around. Only reason for 4 stars is the table clearing service was a bit slow so food and drinks piled up. But the bartenders were busy so I get it and it really wasn't a big deal. We definitely enjoyed our visit!

Really cool spot. Everybody is welcome vibe. Drink prices are decent. The dj wasn't great when I came. He played multiple songs more than once and didn't know how to maintain the vibe. But overall I enjoyed it and will return.

My husband and I like The Local! The atmosphere is nice for a little nightlife outing. On my last visit I see they have renovated the restrooms which are still coming together, but I see the vision. They look nice! They have good wings and I like fried pickles so I've had those also. I prefer going during the spring or summer to make use of the patio, but they had it nice and warm inside on the cold night that we decided to get out.

The Local is always a fun bar, the music/DJ is always on point & there is always a fun atmosphere. Drink & food specials too. My only wish was that they had a few more taps for draft beers.

Walked in and went to the first bartender we saw. I didn't get her name but the Asian girl with dark hair and a ton of make up that was bartending last night needs to be removed. Her attitude and customer service were horrible. We ordered our first drinks with no problem other than the fact that she had an awful attitude. We also put in an order for fries, took our number, and sat at a table across from the bar. While drinking our first drink I didn’t really think about how long the food was taking because it was fairly busy and I understand the food service world however I started to see large groups of people that came in and ordered after us receive their food so when my fiancé went to order our second drink he asked her how much longer on our one order of fries and she told us that it would be another 5 to 7 minutes aka an excuse for forgetting to put in our food order and proceeds to give us a second round of which one drink was incorrect. My fiancé then went up to the bar again and asked her if that was the correct drink and she got an attitude and said that he saw her make it so he should know it was correct and refused to remake it. At this point my fiancé and I were frustrated and decided to cancel the food order and close out our tab. I would really hope that this is not a race issue considering I was the only black person that she was serving at the time and also conveniently the only couple being mistreated. Either way the only reason they get one star is for the location, music, and atmosphere. I may give this bar another chance but if she’s behind the bar I will run the opposite direction! May not order food considering their poor sanitation rate that I noticed after ordering food. Should’ve picked the hot guy as my bartender. He and the blonde working seemed to be friendly to ALL of their customers.
