The Local is a great place to drink, nice porch. Classic bar food, fun trivia on Wednesdays. Good specials on weeknights. Definitely worth a visit.
Oh yeah, bar food!. Smoked Wings....very good. Onion Rings....also good. It's the most frill-free bar food but, what more could you want to help you wash down that ice cold beer with friends?
Good beer and snacks. They have good appetizers and beer menu. LOVE THE CHEESE PRETZEL!!
They do have a limited menu, but it's better than average bar food, I'd say. And reasonably priced beer
Good deal. A whole lot of food for not a lot of money. Decent beer and a cozy environment.
Best Tots!. I go there for one thing, the tater tots. They are amazing! Drinks are good too, and reasonably priced too.

The Local is a laid back pub with decent food and service. I went here with a group a couple years back and had the crunchy Belgian fries. So yummy. Couldn’t wait to get back and have some more. I decided to forgo my usual La Fonda visit (after Martinis a
The wings are worth the hype. Crispy skin, but the meat still falls off the bone. Other wings spots are going to be a let down from now on
The service was great there too
Go early, they usually run out of wings In the first couple of hours
Man I can't explain the food. 1st off the food was absolutely amazing . The okra is what caught my eyes and them smoked fried wings. Omg can you say so good hot fresh food. The waitress made sure I had the drink that suited me. The service was definitely exceptional.The cook was so friendly he came out and made sure the food he served was amazing for every item he served out. I will most definitely be visiting back out. Everyone was most definitely friendly and kept asking was we alright.
Spicy Korean wings were in the Mt. Rushmore of chicken wings I've had across this great nation. Fun dive bar feel and clientele without being sketchy. Most importantly I heard and then saw two Barred Owls in the parking lot which was a real treat.
By far the best wings in Atlanta, and that's a hill I'm willing to die on. The meat nearly falls off the bone. Their sauces and dry rubs are mouth-wateringly delicious. Literally all of their sides are perfect accompaniments to however you get your wings. The cocktails leave a little to be desired when it comes to flavor, but they pour heavy and quickly.
Make sure you get there as soon as they open, though - they're almost always slammed, the parking's guaranteed to be full and I've seen them run out of wings as early as 6:30pm on a Thursday. Totally worth eating yourself into a wing food coma at 5pm.
The Local is 21+, so make sure you have your ID! We had a group of 4 people at 6:00 pm on a Saturday and were seated right away. Service was great!
Here’s what we got:
- Basket of 10 Wings ($14): WOW. I get the hype. We tried the Korean BBQ, Buffalo, and Korean Buffalo, all of which were great. I didn’t taste much of a difference between the Korean BBQ and Korean Buffalo though. The meat fell off the bone, it was so tender. But the outside had a good crispiness to it. These were the best wings I’ve ever had.
- Half Order of Spicy Boiled Peanuts ($3): Tasty!
- Basket of French Fries ($5): Delicious. Crunchy on the outside.
- Basket of Tater Tots ($5): Amazing. Perfectly crunchy on the outside.
10 wings for $14 is a great deal, especially for how delicious they were. Also, well drinks are so cheap!! I got a whiskey coke for $5, with tax!! I can’t wait to go back.
Love this place and the wings! Dope atmosphere with fun ppl.
Don't ask me why I'm from Atlanta and never been here. Just know that if you haven't been you need to hurry before they close this year!
First time having wings that don't need ranch or blue cheese. Slide off the bone deliciousness!
The Local is officially my new obsession! This is the first bar I’ve been to since the pandemic began. No physical menus but no compromise on fun! The atmosphere was calm/chill. Much needed. We met some friends here and lost track of hours. The drinks were on point! From whiskey sours, amaretto sours, beer, shots and more we were grounded for a while. Lol. The food was quality and super affordable. The waitstaff was phenomenal! They swiftly collected glassware and replenished food regularly. The music made it a relaxing place to catch up with friends. I love this bar and can’t wait for my next visit! #ashsaidit
The ideal dive. Wonderful service, affordable prices, and some of the best wings in Atlanta. I like the bbq, my wife likes the Korean bbq. The fries and okra were ideal sides. Phenomenal service from Geoff.
Bartender was very nice. Great smoked wings. Some of the softest soft tacos I have ever had. Well done tater tots were amazing ! I got the Tikka massala wings and the spicy lemon pepper buffalo wings, they were delicious. Wings were a fair size as well.
