Have been here several times over several years but don’t visit often. The atmosphere is great, nice bar and bright seating area. The food for us was marginal and we tasted a few different beers and ultimately decided on one but they all seemed flat even the full poor. I didn’t drink the draft and ordered a canned option which was much better. The wings were the best bite. Very dark in color but had flavor and the meat was juicy. The burger was ok, didn’t have much...

We came to Local Craft and had a great time. The drinks were amazing, and our server Gio was awesome – super friendly and attentive. The food was okay, nothing special, but we’ll definitely be coming back for the drinks and the great service from Gio!

Driving by on our way from NJ to RI and found this spot. The grilled cheese with tomato soup was amazing, home made tomato soup! My fiancé got a burger Cali style that was delicious. We will be back!
3/21/25: Update; stopped here again on my way to RI got the burger and it was great! Stopped on my way home on 3/23, got the grilled cheese with tomato soup again. Still a great spot.
