The bartenders were super friendly and made sure to keep up with the demands of our venue. The food and drinks were top-notch. We were served some finger food, and the meat balls were to die for. The drinks had interesting twists to classic drinks and left me wanting more. If you like mystery and enter a secret hidden bar for the elite just like in the movies, this location will make you feel like that with its setup.

Our bartender, Jon, gave us great suggestions and made excellent drinks. It wasn't too busy, they played good music, and we could imagine the space with some live music.

Their drinks are pretty cheap, especially the 2/$5 Jell-O shots. They didn't seem to have any flavors except watermelon, which was fine. I got a margarita as well. the flavors were pretty good and I love a bartender with a heavy hand. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that the space is excessively friendly. Just note that you will have to go up the stairs in order to get in.

Can't comment on the food since we didn't eat, only had some AMAZING old fashions made by Ellie. Ellie was an amazing bar tender both in skill and personality.

The tacos were excellent, very flavorful and fresh, and very filling/ample meat portions. The double taco-shell helps hold it all together. Wednesday was the perfect day for a peaceful visit before the rain storm. Happy hour menus attached for reference! Every visit, the staff is perfectly welcoming and knowledgeable, and the food surprises my taste as a former picky eater. I would be excited to get tacos again, or try something new.

Came here after going to bingo Loco to finish my celebratory birthday…read more We walked in within an hour of closing, so we were given last call. We were seated at a booth, but quickly moved to the bar where the bartender made our concoctions, chatted with us, and talked about the old distillery that was before the parlor. I got the Smoke Break; mezcal, wild moon sumac, apricot, amaro del capo, lime and absinthe. It was very good, very smoky, but the perfect balance. And of course, the birthday is not complete without shots! We ended up taking the sour cherry vodka, which is one of my favorites We were unable to get food as the kitchen was closed, but we will have to try next time

The bar was dead AF on a Saturday night at 12:30am. That should have been our first sign. Got charged a cover because we were the only 2 idiots in the bar with a dj.

Our bartender was super nice too! I ordered their cucumber cocktail and thought it was perfect! It was a warm day and this drink definitely gave off summer vibes. Very light and refreshing and made with quality ingredients! You can even ask to have your cocktail in a plastic cup so you can walk through Parkville Market. I opted to do this just because I've never been here before but I would totally come back to chill at The Local next time! I can definitely see coming here on the regular! Can't wait to try their other specialty cocktails!

The service is super super friendly!

I really liked my margarita and the interestingly colored salsa. The atmosphere is great. I know that this space was previously an American-type restaurant, they did a nice job with the décor that is still being used. Not much of a Mexican vibe. Now for the negatives. The entrance was confusing--there was no real sign, or at least none that I noticed. My husband said the name was written on a piece of paper. Weird, but okay. The outdoor seating area was also seemed to be under construction, so maybe that will improve the overall experience once it's completed. Again, weird. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best and quite expensive for what you get. There were a couple of pescatarian options, but nothing that really jumped out at me. Overall, I got the impression that this may be more of an after-hours hangout for locals than a place focused on food. If they finish the outdoor area and make a few improvements, I'd be willing to give it another try, but for now, I'm just not sure about this place.

We went on a Saturday night around 9, and since it's winter, the rooftop was enclosed, which was actually done pretty well. The setup was nice and they had a DJ playing old school hits, which I loved it definitely helped the vibe. That said, it wasn't very busy, but somehow the bartenders still took forever to serve us. The drinks were pretty mid, nothing special or memorable. I do like the area, and I'd probably come back in the summer just to experience the rooftop when it's fully open, but overall it's not really anything to write home about.

Great patio for summer relaxing out on a rooftop (3 floors up) bar lounge. Staff: friendly but not very attentive and when I was there it was maybe 10 people in the entire place. Seemed like they were more interested in talking amongst themselves. Food: menu and presentation are more aligned with a bar menu and plating rather than an upscale restaurant Overall: would definitely go for drinks one evening but I'd eat first unless you want bar munchies. They also have a different name on the wall for inside seating but it's the same menu the hostess said.
