Great little border line dive bar with a great happy hour. Great service and a super fun environment with music, dart boards and a pool table.

Great staff, stiff drinks, and a fun atmosphere! Plus the pool table and darts are a great way to pass some time.

Was so glad to find this "local" spot. Great 70s retro vibe. The dude with the mustache seemed pleasant enough. Ordered drinks in a half dead bar. Was it my bad to expect decent service? I played several songs on my jukebox app. Each one was skipped. I asked the bartender he said " yea dude your songs were too slow". He did offer to pay me for my songs but I knew TouchTunes would refund me and I wanted to be sure they knew my situation. I won't recomendable. Although I may give them another try if he isn't working.

Went here on a Monday night. Unusual, basement themed bar. I was intrigued by the anti discrimination picture posted on yelp and thought I would give it a try while visiting from out of town. Unfortunately, we played some songs on the jukebox when there wasn't a single person playing. The bartender didn't like our choices so he just skipped through each one of them after only playing for a few seconds. When questioned about it, he said the songs were too slow. I guess he's not a Bonnie raitt fan and the Halloween sound track is not up tempo enough. After a few songs, it was back to no one playing. I didn't see any food, but we wouldn't have stuck around anyways.

It was a cute small local bar that was extremely cheap. Love that they had karaoke midweek. It's a very diverse crowd which is really really great to see in Ohio. I would totally go back here again if I'm in that area.

One of my fave stops, a lot of fun on karaoke night!
I was visiting town alone and wanted a place to hang out and maybe meet some nice people. Local Bar was it! The bartender, Taylor, was amazing and made me feel like a friend within no time. The other patrons were a good time as well. This place was one of the more enjoyable bars I've been to in a long time. Taylor made a great drink - the "Taylor's Special" - that was perfect! I loved it!

I hate that there's only 2 bathrooms for such a busy bar

I've been coming here for years (i also work for the company.) Last night, I stopped in to take a quick shot before I walked home, and the bartender was nasty and rude rolled her eyes at me because I asked for an esplon and forgot to say reposado and she had poured a quarter of an ounce into the glass before i stopped her. I've never felt more uncomfortable at local than the 5 minutes I was in there last night.

Hark! I entered The Local Bar on yestereve and was sorely disappointed with mine experience. The ale was tepid and lackluster, and the ambiance was no better than a peasant's tavern. Verily, the staff was uninterested in providing quality service, and mine queries went unanswered. 'Tis a shame, for I had high hopes for this establishment. I shall not be returning.
