The food is very good for bar food. The place is laid out nicely, but the service is awful!! The servers act like you’re not there. I’m literally sitting here waiting for someone to ask me if I want a drink. I had to flag down a server and ask her for one of the menus she had in her hand as she walked right past me. Friends of mine say the same things about the place. The bartenders are good, it’s just the servers that are terrible

Bands on Fridays, loved it. Place is gets packed. Staff looks a little overwhelmed at times, especially at the bar. Staff are very nice and helpful.

I’ve been stopping in every so often, and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming. The bartenders work incredibly hard, and it really shows in the way they connect with their guests.

Love the newer layout and increased space. Server was great. Hard to get attention of bartenders. They were very busy, but didn't seem to be scanning the bar as much as serving the loudest voice. Still a good experience.

Quite a good venue! Attended a concert of The School of Rock, Strongsville, OH, & had a great time there, conversing, sharing food, & enjoying the concert with friends who are parents of one of the band members, with whom I also had a chance to converse with!

Nice big place with an open patio. Great burgers and draft list. I've known the owner since I was a kid and his passion is evident. Love that it has a stage and local events. Service was also great. I stopped by to work and the waitress was attentive without being too pushy.

Our run group has come here twice and the service and quality have been excellent. We meet on Mondays which is their burger night. Prices are reasonable! We need to run from here more often!

I love the entertainment, but going solo is a whole different story. It's ridiculously tough to get waited on. You need to have perfect timing to flag down one of the 20 bartenders for a drink, and it's super annoying when they ask everyone around you instead. I mean, I'm not invisible, I'm just sitting here, making eye contact, and practically screaming 'I need a drink!' but they still manage to skip me and serve the people right next to me, without fail. Do I smell? Am I weird looking? What’s the deal with the men next to me getting served and not me? Do you not want solo females at your bar?

The Local in Strongsville has a nice set up. If you’re lucky enough to get a table, you’re better off rather than a long wait time to get a drink at the bar. The drink prices are reasonable & food is excellent. If you’re only going to see a live band, don’t waste your time. The sound system sucks. The first few times I went, I couldn’t figure out why all the bands had a muffle like sound. If you’re sitting on the opposite area of the band, near the main bar, it’s very hard to understand what they’re even singing. I remember thinking to myself, wow I don’t remember these bands sounding this bad. Then someone said when The Local bought the additional space, the sound system has never been the same. Very disappointed because The Local offers a variety of good tribute bands. I wish this review would let me add a video sound clip.

The Local in North Olmsted is much better if the main reason you’re going is for the live band.
