Locals Only is our favourite spot to grab a bite off the delicious menu before a ballgame or famously skipping an event because the staff and vibe is always a great time. Especially when Justin is hosting us. He’s attentiveness and amazing personality keeps us all coming back. Thank you Justin for that brilliant smile and amazing service! Please make a point to enjoy excellent food and a great time!

Easily one of the best bars in the city. People saying otherwise clearly don’t know how to have a good time. Bartenders are amazing (Justin is the nicest human ever). Food is 10/10. You won’t find another place in the city doing buck-a-shuck and half price wine/Prosecco everyday of the week. Always the best vibe and so much fun. Love this place!!!

I started reading the reviews the moment I sat down at this restaurant and almost wanted to leave immediately. Honestly, I was expecting the worse after reading about the service and the terrible manager. What we experienced was night and day compared to what others encountered.I came here with my SO on a Monday night at 5:30pm. There were two dudes by the bar and a table of two girls that were about to leave. Pretty quiet like I expected for a Monday night. No sight of the scary manager. We waited a couple of minutes before someone sat us down.Order was placed within minutes, our waitress was really nice and all our food was served within 20 minutes (oysters included). My favourite dish was the buffalo popcorn chicken and shishito peppers. We weren’t stuffed given they only served tapas but were pretty satisfied with the overall experience. Not to mention there was a buck-a-shuck promo, we had no idea so it was nice to see our bill went down by $52 as we ordered two dozen of those bad boys. A dozen oysters would usually cost you $38 here. Oysters were VERY tiny.The bartender was attentive, our waitress noticed the hot sauce was missing for our oysters and the bartender was right behind her and passed it to us. Also, he made us some amazing cocktails and was generous with the amount of alcohol. I got tipsy fast from just two cocktails.Side note: staff members were wearing masks. I think they finally got the message after so many negative reviews here and probably changed their ways given the backlash from the pics online few months ago.

Great energy. Highly recommend the not into yoga cocktail it was amazing. Avoid the popcorn chicken it had too much vinegar. Aside from that the oysters were great but a bit on the small side. Would recommend for a fun night out since it turns into a bit of a club at night

As a local resident, I feel privileged to have stumbled upon this hidden gem in our neighborhood. I must emphasize that this review is intended for locals only, as this place holds the essence of our community and deserves to be cherished by those who call this area home.From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff recognized me as a regular, creating an instant connection that made me feel like part of the family. It's refreshing to find a place where genuine hospitality is still valued.To fully appreciate this gem, I encourage fellow locals to visit during quieter times, when you can truly savor the intimate atmosphere and engage in conversations with the staff. It's an opportunity to connect with our neighbors and learn more about the stories that make our community special.If you get the chance to stumble over to Locals Only, ask for bartender Justin. You’ll be greeted with a big smile and great hair paired with a delicious ice cold Stock and Row Cold Tea

Food is fire, try the pasta and bang bang shrimp. Also serve cold teas best cider in the game and the staff keep the party going till close. Best place in king st. Make sure you stay all night to catch the shooter show.

Great place for cheap eats. The food is not bad, though the cocktails are fantastic. The Tuesday specials are a real standout. Service is quick and friendly. I found the noise to be a bit loud later in the evening but it adds to the fun atmosphere.

Such a great place with a great atmosphere! They're good is decently priced and their drinks are amazing!I would definitely recommend their cheese plate and jalapeno burger! They pair amazingly with their Cool as a cucumber drink (their version of a gin and tonic)They also have buck a shuck oysters and half price wine daily from 5-8!It's definitely a live spot! If you're looking to go with friends make sure you get there before 10 on the weekends for some seats otherwise itll be too busy!
