Food service great! Ambiance classy. Reminded me of high end dining restaurants in San Francisco. Food and service were easy too. I asked to talk to management to complement the service, the food and the experience. read more

My boyfriend and I come here all the time. Their food is high quality and can find options for anybody! The drink selection is great as well. Inside is sometimes loud when there's live music, etc. but we don't usually mind. Outside is very cute too and has some fire pits! The service is always very good and quick. read more

We went here on Sunday for a friend's birthday. The food was amazing, and the signature cocktails were very original. The service was perfect and the server, Ally, was very attentive. There was even live music which was outside at a comfortable volume. We were so impressed my wife and I went back this evening (Wednesday). We tried some different food and it was just as good as our last visit. Ally was our server again, and she has a wonderful personality and is very attentive and FUN. The atmosphere on both visits was conversation-friendly, and the decor is very classy. If you haven't tried the Local, you're missing out on a real gem. read more

The Local on 50th - (Parrot Bay) Rum and Coke, Margarita. - Sports Bars Near Me - Indio, California

Went to The Local last night with the family and tried out a new spot! We got there before 5:00, so we were able to enjoy happy hour -- even on a Saturday, which was awesome. They have happy hour every day from 2-6 PM. We ordered a couple of drinks, which were really good. The artichoke poppers were amazing, and the shrimp tacos were tasty too. The kids' meals were on point, and our server was great -- friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was cool and fun, perfect for hanging out or watching football. It was a bit on the loud side, and the only food miss was that the bacon on my daughter's BLT wasn't crispy or cooked quite enough. Other than that, everything was great. Definitely a good spot to grab a bite, enjoy a drink, and catch a game! read more

After a day of house hunting, our real estate agent recommended The Local to catch a game. And is was a great recommendation! Plenty of spaces (indoor and out to catch a game). A modern bistro/gastro pub with a lot of charm. After looking at houses it was like it was a sign to buy in Indio when you walk into The Local and all the staff are welcoming you wearing shirts that say "Be Local" as if they knew the debate we were about to discus while watching the game and having a bite to eat! We opted for inside and sat at the bar where Marissa was serving drinks with a kind heart and smile. We cozied up and ordered an appetizer of Homemade House Meatballs and a Grilled Cheese with Bacon. The meatballs were amazing! Definitely a great game day choice! And it was decided to buy the house! Thanks Local on 50th, you made us feel welcomed to Indio! read more

Revisited and had a good afternoon so updated my last review. YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes, for sure. This place did not even appear to the the same place since our first visit. LOCATION: Good location in Citrus Center off Jefferson and 50th Ave, lots of parking. I FACILITY: Seemed update maybe, we hade a great time on this visit. Space is open and loud but makes it fun. MENU: A lot of choices, Happy Hour is a big deal and missing from our last visit just after they reopened with new ownership. FOOD PREP: Exceptional, food looked as good as it tasted. FOOD QUALITY: Yes, good tastes and textures. LIBATIONS: Finally, this made the place pop. Mostly locals hanging out just having a good time watching TV, maybe enjoying a beverage, maybe two, in the bar area. Glad to see a good vibe happening here. WAITSTAFF: Everyone was happy to be working there on this visit and they enjoying taking care of tables and guests. OVERALL VALUE: Pretty good, there is a lot of food served here to order less, you can always order more. Happy Hour makes it all work in the off season. TIP: They appear to get busy so plan your visit so you don't have to wait outside. read more

Vehemently upset after having dinner there tonight. I had the steak and fritters, which I've had before and is usually great for lunch even though it's a dinner entree. it's cooked medium it comes out sizzling usually but today it came with the coldest and oldest fries and the steak was barely cooked and skill not sizzling, I hate to send things back but I did, as it was too bad. The second time around, the end piece was so dry and hard to chew so I didn't want to say anything but later asked for more sauce to try to work with it. I finished the fries, my friends steak was reportedly to be ok but wasn't great the second time as she too had to send her plate back due to the cold and dated fries. had been here numerous time. As a result we asked for more sauce to try to work with the steaks, as they weren't good, here's where it's gets bad quick. The waiter says the manager says "he going to charge you more if you ask for more sauce, I asked that the manager be called because I'm trying to work with this steak but a threat I have a hard time with. The rude and unprofessional male waiter becomes increasingly rude and insists I pay before a manager is called, which I abide. Mark, the manager comes to defend himself based on what the waiter tells him, he doesn't even want to hear my point until I tell him all my issues of concerns and disappointment where staff, service and quality of food was subpar at best. I would try to explain to the manager to I had asked for additional sauce as the steaks was cooked poorly and had to be sent back twice, for after his rude rank tell me he was never informed that the steak had been sent back twice. Meanwhile, I say all that to say this the service was poor, the aggressive tone and tenor of the male waiter and Mark the manager was unprofessional, and disappointing. No apology whatsoever. How about accountability and some form of apology, not how you can charge me more. If the chef can't cook a steak get them off the grill, and if the manager and male doesn't get some type of class and a course on better customer service than they perhaps need new careers. Poor food, poor service and the absolute poor customer service from Management down. The experience I had on this night I wouldn't recommend at all EVER. I would have given a "0" score to honest. The Local on the 50 DO BETTER. read more

Manny was the best server I've ever had in my life. He kept filling us up the entire time of our brunch. I absolutely adored him. I plan to come back when I come to stagecoach just for Manny. God bless that man. He is an angel on earth and he's a mimosa God. read more

Dined in for Galentine's Night and they had live music and karaoke, which made it really fun. The drinks were cute and creative, and we ordered the CV flatbread, which was sweet but yummy, along with the truffle fries and Ahi tostadas. The service was good, and the overall vibe made for a great night out! read more

I must say this place has come a long way and is now a definite favorite.... The hostess was extremely accommodating and moves like lightning through the restaurant without ignoring anyone... we had a great quiet (for a busy night) back booth and then had one of the most pleasant servers ever, Amanda. We had a gluten free, lactose intolerant and no shell fish and one eat anything party and we ALL thoroughly enjoyed our meal... highly recommended read more

My absolute favorite bar in LQ. Mike and Nelson are fantastic. Great food and drinks! I love the flatbread and wings.

Fun environment, good food. A little on the loud side, so be prepared for that. Have attended several special events, such as music bingo, and that was lots of fun. If you are going for a special event, call the restaurant ahead of time to ensure the event is still happening. Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, my last visit was made uneasy due to scheduling and detail issues on the restaurant side. Aside from that one issue this has been a fun place to patronize. read more

Wow, what a nice place. We ate here for lunch for the first time today and had the Ahi Poke appetizer and the Caesar salad with chicken. Both meals were really good and fresh. We had a beer and a bloody to go with the items and our bill was around $70 without tip. So this is not the cheapest place around but for what's happening in today's environment not bad at all. The bar was huge and they had current music playing and numerous TVs playing sports. The menu was diverse from burgers to steaks and we look forward to coming back for dinner to see what it's like. read more

Found my new Happy Hour spot in the desert! This place continues to be a hit and so lucky it's nearby. I first came for dinner shortly after they opened and was impressed with the service and food. I knew I'd be needing to come back again to see if they were consistent. Happy to report that this spot continues to be great and really went all out for our large party tonight. As a last minute Christmas Eve friends gathering (I know, who does that) we needed a table for 13 people by 4:30pm. We called at 4pm and were told that it would be absolutely no issue for them to get us a table together on their lovely outdoor patio. Sure enough we showed up and the table was prepped and ready for us. Alicia / Alisha (spelling) was our server and she was a rockstar! I'd come back again for the service alone because she was AMAZING! It's hard enough to accommodate a large party like that and even harder when it's a variety of "characters" but she made the whole night seem seamless. She couldn't have been kinder and she didn't miss a beat. Yes she had a little help with other serves bringing out plates and drinks (they were all great people - and awesome teamwork) but for her to have gotten every order, drink, and side - down to dipping sauces correct is not a small feat with a party that large. Also shoutout to the bartenders and cooks because every dish and cocktail came out quickly, together and made to perfection. All while having plenty of patrons inside dinning, very impressive. I can confidently say this restaurant is great for large groups and parties as they delivered wonderful service and a great pace at getting everything out. Sitting on their covered outdoor patio was lovely and I'd highly recommend it when it's not too hot out. The music was going, they have TV and heaters -- makes for a fun atmosphere and hangout spot. We made it for happy hour and I was very impressed with their menu. Lots of great bites and drink options. I love a robust HH menu. This one was a 5/5. Well done! My go to cocktail / drink here is their peach basil sangria. Very refreshing, the right amount of sweet, and a nice pour. It continues to be my go to here. See my last review for their main dining menu but I can reiterate that the food is stellar. Very classic American bar food but slightly elevated. For HH tonight we went with the fried artichoke hearts and the chicken strip plate. Delicious. Everything was fresh and crispy, right out of the fryer. A great spot to get finger foods to share with a group. Definitely continuing to dig The Local on 50th and so glad we have this spot. read more

5-Star Brunch Service 3-Star Food! Loved our attentive server and loved the entertainment, BUT... I had Eggs Benedict which was just ok. I think it's worth another try for happy hour but probably not a first choice brunch pick. read more

My husband and I were looking for something tasteful but quick to dine in. We were not aware of the name change until we got there. We had once been there and had wine and charcuterie when it was called Camden Cellars. Again we were not disappointed with the food it was delicious. The waitress was not kidding when she said the sliders were so good I enjoyed them! The atmosphere was great we had so much fun while enjoying a yummy dinner. Although the place was packed we were seated upon arrival and we got our food at a very reasonable time. Will definitely go back for trivia night again. read more

Just about everyday/night is a theme with its own special group of people. Not welcoming for anyone else. Food...basic and VERY overpriced for the what you get. No more Charcuterie boards and that was the only thing that was great. Service is always wonderful but they are missing the point of "LOCAL" it's not that anymore... read more

Stopped for happy hour. Good food, ok drinks. Some of the other food we saw getting delivered looked good as well.

So nice I had to do it twice! My sister put me onto this place, which is one of her regular spots. On the first night out I had a salmon Caesar salad, which was really good. Taco was our server that night, and I was very impressed with his attention and good service. The very next night we stopped in again, and this time I tried the linguine Alfredo with shrimp. It was fresh, well seasoned, and the perfect portion. It also happened to be music bingo night - so fun! Apparently they have different themed nights here, including karaoke and other game nights. I had a blast! I also had the pleasure of meeting a few locals at The Local. I think this restaurant is a great representation of good people coming together for good food. Two thumbs up! read more

This place absolutely deserves a five star review. The atmosphere is warm, lively and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly and attentive and makes sure everything runs smoothly. The food was incredible. Every dish tasted fresh, flavorful and clearly made with care. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The dishes were beautifully presented and generous in portions. Service was impressive and checked on us perfectly and made great recommendations. One of the best parts of the night was the live music. It added such great energy to the space. Great food, great people and the live music an awesome vibe overall. Definitely a great spot we will be coming back to. read more

Although the food is presented very aesthetically pleasing, I have to say I was disappointed in the quality of food. The chicken sandwich was so mediocre I couldn't finish 3 bites of it. Everything came out cold (including the pasta? And the only thing I enjoyed was the drink! Very nice atmosphere and service was fast but would not be returning just based off food alone. read more

We arrived about 7pm. The hostess seated us promptly though we had no reservations and it was crowded. Service was quick, courteous, and accurate. Portions are tasty and large. 2 ate on appetizers and took a full serving home! Interestingly, 'The Local is also a favored restaurant in Boise, Idaho! No relation, but good memory anyway. read more

2 stars because the service, drinks and ambiance were good. We came here around 9:30-10 on a Saturday because there was a 30 minute wait at our favorite brunch spot. There was only 1 other person in the restaurant at that time, so that should have been our first clue. The mimosa and bloody mary were very tasty. My husband ordered a scramble with tots; I ordered the avo toast. Since no one else was in the restaurant, we were expecting the dishes to be an example of what their food would be like at its best. The tater tots tasted like they had reused the oil. The scramble was very tough - it was almost like they made a (hard) omelet and then covered it up with cheese so you wouldn't notice it wasn't a scramble (and to hide that it had been overdone). I ordered over-easy eggs for my avocado toast. They came out hard and overdone. Despite only eating 1/4 of the toast, the waiter didn't ask me if something was wrong with it - he just happily took it away without any questions. read more

I've been here several times and they were good experiences. Last week I entered the restaurant and asked the older woman at the front for a table outside. She said "We're full." I look outside and see that there's plenty of tables open and told her that it looks like there's some open tables outside. She responds with "WE'RE FULL!" I decided to leave and she laughed. I had a great meal elsewhere because there are plenty of other restaurants that have staff that will act appropriately and will gladly take my money. read more

Went here for a slightly late lunch. Good wine and drink options. Wedge salad adding shrimp was excellent as was the Ahi Tuna stack and the local greens salad. Staff very helpful with menu recommendations. Service also a positive experience with staff asking us at appropriate times if we needed anything. We are looking forward to going back. The menu had such a nice number of options, I want to try the fish for dinner. I am so pleased that the staff and management care about making a quality product with patience for those of us that need a little help.... read more

Great social bar! If you're in town for the night or a local looking to meet new friends, this is the place to go. Friendly bartenders/servers, live events like trivia, music bingo, "girl dinner", and live music! My fiancé is obsessed with the Eggplant dish they have. I haven't had a bad meal there, highly recommend the nachos for an appetizer it's huge, burger or the chicken sandwich for lunch, can't go wrong with any dinner selections. read more

This is the place to go if you're looking for a relaxing but lively atmosphere, a tasty meal but not expensive served by friendly and attentive staff, and an enjoyable evening to unwind with friends! On Feb 18 evening, we sat in the covered outdoor patio lounge with friends, ordered apps and cocktails, listened to 3 hours of great music live by Dave Leahy - wow - excellent musician and set list! Also had a tasty dinner: The Local Salad w grilled chicken, and margarita flatbread - both fresh, flavorful and really good! The competent and busy servers deserve lots of praise too for taking good care of us and the many patrons who were thoroughly enjoying the evening like us! The live music venue is brilliant and we will definitely make this part of our weekly routine! Thanks to The Local on 50th!! read more

We'll second visit & things have changed, sorry to say not for the better! Some kind of communication problem. Waitress friendly, until things went wrong. House Sparkling champagne was flat not sparkling! Brought another glass. Didn't realize it was going to be the best thing of my dinner. Ordered a Wedge with Steak medium rare. Steak was raw & charred black on top. Wedge was a chopped romaine salad with bottled blue cheese dressing. I could have gone to Ralph's and bought a bagged salad & blue cheese dressing for half the price. Next time I will! Husband didn't completely get what he ordered either. Must be new owners that need to step it up. Menu completely changed, so do better. FYI; Looks like the bar was the best thing about the place now, if you're just going for drinks. read more

Unfortunately I have not gotten the pleasure to actually sit and eat at this restaurant but I have order food in person to go. The service has usually always been less than 25 minutes and the staff has always been friendly, however my food on the other hand has not always been the best. Both times I have ordered to go I have gotten the Burgundy Sliders which once was very salty and the second time cold. The shoestring fries the second time I ordered and the reason I have stopped coming to this restaurant was because they were cold, very hard, and most likely old. Felt like I was eating potato chips and not fries. (In context I have ordered my food at around 9 or earlier-ish on the weekends, when many customers were still there). Although not actually eating and being a customer sat at this restaurant I believe this should not be impacting the quality of my food. read more

We LOVE being at Local at 50. The staff is so welcoming. Manny, Taco, Amanda, Allison and Alyssia are tops. The raspberry rosé is addictive and they feature Wycliff sparkling brut.

The food and the ambiance are amazing!! Such a relaxing place to spend a date night or a fun night with friends. Ask for Vu he is amazing

The ambiance was okay and the service was good by Amanda. Unfortunately, the brunch food was not good. My wife's avocado toast barely had any avocado on it. What avocado that was on the sandwich was cold and it was a warm sandwich. My chilaquiles were barely acceptable all the chips were all soggy, none were close to crisp. I ordered chicken on the chilaquiles but I received less than a 1/4 of chicken, very chintzy. Disappointing experience. Not sure we'll be back. read more
