What an awesome experience!!! Dannie was our server. She was awesome!!! The food was great! We definitely will be back. Dannie answer our questions and if she did not know, she said she would check and let us know. We really enjoyed this experience!!! Thank you Dannie and the whole crew. We will be back to get our T shirts!

Everything was good. I was in town and stopped in randomly. Glad I did.

Our server, Madi, was fantastic. Attentive, friendly, and made excellent menu recommendations. She kept our drinks full and made us feel genuinely welcome. Great service paired with delicious food

Once upon a time I walked down Stephen Ave looking for an elevated vibe, and walked into this place, and the rest is history.
I've heard similar from other people, whether casual tourists or dignitaries; even my family doctor encourages my patronage.

While I could make a long list of the great staff: my short list today is Jaxon, who always keeps the atmosphere sociable and the bar held down; the ever personable Jessica, who's always enthusiastically engaging, while also doing her thing, resolute in the various managerial duties; and Tina, ever indomitable and inspiring.

Madi was the most amazing waitress I’ve ever had. I’m not from Calgary, but some of my friends told me to go to local. I was not disappointed. MADI for president!

Great spot for drinks, and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of pescatarian options. Our server, Madi, was an absolute delight—very friendly, kept our glasses full, and offered excellent drink suggestions. Highly recommend!

We are big fans of the wings here. Our favourite part of the weekend is when we see the best server Madi, who knows exactly what we want. We see her smiling face and the next minute- boom, WINGS. It is always a great time at Local on 8th due to Madi and of course the yummy wings.

The food wasn't anything overly special. I ordered the fried chicken ramen and that was my mistake...it was ramen mushy noodles with Mexican style and not something I'd order again. My friend got the fish & chips and didn't seem too impressed. I think it was mainly due to the Mexican spices. It was also loud and our waitress seemed impatient.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, although tight.

Madi was so cool and knowledgeable. She made us feel like regulars on our very first visit. We will be back and we will become regulars.. just for Madi.

The food was absolutely incredible. The vibes were immaculate. Very lively and popping. The staff were very friendly and did their jobs well, despite being busy. Looking forward to the next time.
