My band played here on a Wednesday night. Everyone had a great time! The stage is very small but we somehow crammed in as a five piece. The bartender, Mike, is super nice and did an excellent job of helping out with the sound mix.

I came here on a Wednesday night to support a local artist’s show. While the quaint size and overall decor was stimulating to me, that’s where my excitement ended at The Local.
Darren the bartender made it clear that he doesn’t want to serve black people at his bar. Being the only person of color at the establishment, I waited a lengthy time to even be greeted and when it was time for me to order he made me repeat myself and mocked that I was ordering chicken wings. I asked what red wines he had, he threw all 8 bottles of wine on the bar and said “here they are”. Shocked that I left a tip, he nodded and continued his conversations with the many guests at the bar. Why else would he single me out and speak to me in such a way? I did nothing wrong.
When people treat you badly over the color of your skin, they don’t remember that many people feel the same way they do. Instead of it being one bad racial encounter for the day, it’s 10. People love to remind you why you’re hated in the world. All because I am black and perceived in such a way by society? It’s a lot to bear and it’s so hurtful.
A gentleman next to me felt bad at my wait time and how I was being treated. He began a conversation with me to ease the tension.
Everyone at the bar was asked if they wanted refills, I was sternly avoided.
I left the United States to avoid racism, and The Local was a rude awakening that racism is everywhere. Alive and well. I haven’t felt so bad at a Canadian establishment in my life. While it was a great show, i will never be back at The Local again and if you’re compassionate and care about where your dollar goes, you would skip this racist establishment as well.

I went here with a friend for lunch and enjoyed ourselves. The food was great, but took a very long time to come. We were waiting for over 40 minutes for two entrees when restaurant was more than half empty. The waitress was a bit sassy and hard to flag down, but overall had a good vibe. The live music was a nice touch.
One evening, I went there with my friend, and it was an incredibly strange place. We asked for menus, but they didn’t have any. Even though they were supposed to close at 1am, we went at 10 pm and the kitchen was already closed. No one really cared to assist us. The server didn’t even look at us. I really like Roncy and the places around here, but I will never go near this place again. The staff had no sense of courtesy.

We had a late lunch at The Local. The service was impeccable. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the food and drink options. We had fish and chips. I live in both Toronto and Newfoundland so I am most definitely biased. My friend loved the fish and chips. I thought it was just OK. Not bad but not great either. Despite this I highly recommend The Local. Excellent atmosphere, live music, nice little patio, reasonable prices, great service and very good food. I will order something different next time. I give this place a 9 out of 10!

I came in on a Monday night with 3 friends, the beer we ordered wasn’t cold, drinks were very sour. We ended up paying just to go to another bar and the bartender stopped me from leaving to beg for tip. Horrible.
Sorry didn't eat it. Love the East Coast music
