The Local Tampa

I think tonight makes my fourth time here in the past week or so. I live near by but just never stopped in, decided to give it a try last weekend. First off kudos to Shana she is a great Bartender with excellent customer service and knows how to keep the party and conversation going! I’ve been lucky enough to have half of my encounters be with her as she seems to work the day I come in. I also met Braxton who makes probably one of the best margaritas I’ve ever had. While the customer service and the drinks are superb I will say I think the prices are a little high for a “local bar” and inconsistent, while both make excellent drinks I think it should be uniformed across the board and also only been coming for a week or so and the “specials” in reference to their loyalty Program have already changed and I overheard in conversation from others that this is a rare occurrence. But over all I keep coming back for the service and the excellent margaritas!

Solid bar with a great local vibe. The bartenders are knowledgeable, friendly, and make some perfectly crafted cocktails. The bourbon selection is pretty well stocked as my old fashioned was o point. The prices are very reasonable and they offer a reward program that is free to join. Bring some cash for pool and darts! It wasn't too crowded around dinner time as they are open after midnight, so this bar is the spot to check out after everything else closes in the area!

The local is a mediocre bar, yet I was absolutely blown away by the outstanding bartender (Sydney). Not only was she absolutely gorgeous, but she also made the very best Jack & Coke that the west coast of Florida has yet to see. Excellent service and witty banter, would come back….. if I was not banned from the bar.
