Loved this place ❤️. Gem of roncesvalles, in my opinion. I loved it mostly because of its ambiance and the kind of crowd that comes here. It can be both - a very happening bar and, sometimes a quiet and ambient place. Drinks are good. Bartenders and servers are welcoming and amazing folks. I hope this place keeps getting its customers and never has to see a bad day.Always recommendable for me.

4* because of the talented band members playing live music this Saturday night after 9pm: they really brought life and warmth to the whole place. We loved hanging around for drinks while listening to their great performance! The pub is pretty small and its a “find yourself a seat if you can” kind of place. I’ll admit the decor is pretty random, but it adds to the charm of the place. The man behind the bar was fast on serving good drinks. Didn’t try the food.

Stopped by here for lunch during a recent visit to Toronto. Although I did not stay long (I had plans to visit a friend elsewhere), I did get the sense that this is a fun venue. Not only do they have board games that patrons can play, they also have live music. Would definitely come back.

I’ve loved coming to the Local since it opened years ago and all the reviews that speak of the warm and friendly atmosphere and service are true. Since the pandemic, however, something has happened and I’m not sure why it is but the music scene is not what it used to be and I long for the days when the great band lineups run throughout the whole week. I was especially disappointed on Saint Paddy’s day recently (2023) to see just one solo singer-guitarist. I would’ve thought that the great annual Irish celebration would warrant a multi piece band of top celtic musicians. I would’ve gladly paid a decent cover charge for it.

This place has a great vibe, and if I lived in the neighborhood, it definitely could be my go to for a casual drink. Would also be a good first/second date place I think?Beer was clean and crisp, and my veggie burger patty and salad were very yummy! Bun and toppings were meh, but when was the last time you got capers in a side salad?? So good!!My partner had the fish and chips and although he ate all of it, he said it was pretty mushy and wouldn't get it again.

Owner and all the staff very welcoming and friendly. Great cold beers. Small but very tasty menu. Place is small but very inviting and homely. Luckily arrived in time for some great live music. Plan to return.

The thing I loved the most is the cozy and comfy open seating at the back. They were kind enough to allow our dog as well and he was able to make a few doggy friends.The beers were good and the food was great as well, especially the fries ! Would definitely go here again.

Nice local bar (ha ha), food is a solid 3/5. I'd come back but not eat here aside from maybe fries.Kinda specific but its very much not worth upgrading to poutine for $4 if you're getting an entree that comes with a side, it's a tiny portion of poutine on the side so you're just wasting money.Get a full order of poutine and share with someone..stick with fries for the meals

Eclectic, dimly lit place, ideal to strike up a conversation with a fellow drinker or bartender. They have a grand pour of Guinness, a good selection of bourbons, scotches, whiskeys and excellent live music on an intimate stage. There is a cool patio out back and a small patio out front made for people-watching. The menu of tasty food includes lots of vegetarian options and my personal favourites, House Smoked Wings and the Rue Burger. Lip smacking goodness. By far the best bar in the neighbourhood.

The Local is the only bar we ever go to and have been since it opened 17 or so years ago. My partner and I love the comfortable atmosphere; All are welcome! There’s no particular kind of crowd , only people who like good local craft beers and of course Guinness. They also have an array of excellent Whiskies to choose from. Their food is as expected at a bar with a few highlights; the burgers, fish and chips and the house salad with dumplings are delicious. Go, you’ll make a friend and be treated right by those working there.
