The bar was super crowded due the 4th of July weekend. The bartenders had a little difficulty keeping up with the crowd and orders. This is probably not how it is on a non-holiday weekend. The selection of craft beer was good and there is a full bar. There was a small kitchen serving Mexican. We tried the nachos which were tasty. We sat an outside table and listened to the live music. It was a little dirty and no one ever wiped the tables which is the reason for the 4 stars.

There are numerous styles, both refrigerated and not, arranged together. If you don't know what you want or what it is you're looking for, any of the employees are happy to help. They know their stuff. I am pretty sure they are all cicerone certified. Note that there are no beers on tap. This isn't a place to sit and chill but rather a place to stock up on for home or gifts. There are other products sold in the store besides beer, including glasses, bottle openers, snacks, and more. I love Peabody's so much I bought their paper artwork of male dogs peeing on a building and I have it hung up smack in the middle of my living room. Hell yeah. Support Peabody's, and everybody wins.

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience. Definitely worth the wait!

Bar tender provided menus, and checked back on us after a few minutes to take order. They've got a good menu with pizza, sandwiches, burgers, and a good variety of entrees (seafood, steak, chicken, pasta), basically, they've got something for everyone. Not being too hungry, but knowing we needed something, we decided to just split an order of the pulled pork nachos. The food came out fairly quickly, looked and tasted great. They did not skimp on toppings. Staff was friendly, food was good, only complaint is it was very dark inside, and surprisingly loud in the restaurant, I can't imagine being there with live music, I assume it would be impossible to have a conversation.

It was an exceptionally brilliant idea. The place has a phenomenal staff (especially Opie). They were welcoming, personable and knowledgeable. They had a deep experience with wines that helped guide the experienced wine drinkers and an empathetic approach to those (aka, me) who were clueless. I (ahm, the inexperienced) were never intimidated or given the snob treatment. However, my brother who knows his way around a bottle or two (or at least actively tries to fake it) was given the appropriate insights to what he was drinking. Across the ten of us, we tried multiple different wines and they were all well liked. Many made their way home as people had to take some bottles home. You can tell that I'm an amateur because the whole "flight of wines" thing was new to me. It was brilliant to sample many different varieties in what I would call shooters to the great disappointment of my brother. Yeah, I told you he acted like he knew what he was doing. They also gave us a brief tour of the beautiful grounds as well as a look "behind the scenes". I would really recommend visiting in the fall and maybe seeing things in action. The drive is a bit "way back there", but I highly encourage you to take the trip. It's definitely worth it.

TONS of different wines- from all over the world (including the US). Very basic to very unique wines. You won't find many bottles that are priced high (most were under $100 that we found). The store also contains a huge cheese selection- we picked 6 different ones (you can sample them at the counter) and loved every single one. They also sell beer, champagne, meats (salami, prosciutto, etc), chocolate, honey, jams, cigars, crackers, and more!! You can put together a charcuterie board with ANYTHING you can think of!! They also sell cute knick-knacks and gifts, such as wine openers, napkins with fun sayings, and cutting boards! Most weekends they do wine tastings (only ask for a donation to the Humane Society). Absolutely love the store owner- she chatted with us for awhile, helped us pick cheese and wine, and was just all around very friendly! Blown away by the quality and quantity of items in the store, and the customer service! Loved this place so much, return multiple times throughout our vacation; only wish we lived closer to the hidden gem.

We kicked things off with chips and queso, then ordered the Smoked Turkey salad and the brisket sandwich with tots and wow! Every bite was phenomenal. The brisket sandwich with the jam was an unreal combo, and the salad was packed with flavor (and plenty of meat). The restaurant itself is adorable, with tons of indoor seating, a bar, super cute outdoor space, and great TVs. The staff was incredibly sweet and accommodating, which made the experience even better. Bonus: you can make reservations ahead of time on Resy. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so there's always a reason to stop by. Can't wait to come back and work our way through more of the menu next time we're in town!

The catfish was lightly breaded and not too heavy. I did snag a bite of the brisket and it was excellent. Definitely check it out if you are in the area.
