Local Tavern Willoughby Hills

"My wife and I have made a tradition of heading to Local Tavern on Thursday afternoons while my mom watches our kids for the day every week for roughly the last two years. Unfortunately, those weeks have seen the acquisition and departure of some serious quality management and staff on the floor and in the kitchen. Like, the best people you could imagine working a seemingly unsinkable local joint. It's apparently unsinkable, because if you went tonight, you'd have a great time and the remaining/current staff are saints, but this place is mismanaged with increasing acceleration and the cracks in the ship are obvious. This is conjecture based on my own experiences in service. Lots of quality people we've come to love have jumped off this ship. It's a matter of time. The owner is taking on water and has his band playing jazz instead of hymns. He cannot be paying or treating his staff right and its obvious. I know food service and customer service. I can't support it anymore even though its the closest bar to our house. Godspeed to the rest of the staff and we'll be happy to follow you. Thursdays at Local are done. I'd encourage any locals to avoid Local for the sake of their fantastic past and present staff and follow them because they are that good."

"Cool local bar/restaurant. I enjoyed the eclectic decor. I had the Simpleton burger with fries. The burger (angus) was just right- juicy and flavorful. I'm not sure what their special sauce is for the burger, but it is spectacular! The hand-cut fries were a bonus :) Special shout out to Kelsey, who was very attentive . Thanks, I will save this place as a favorite for the next time I come to Cleveland."

"I have driven by this place many times in my life..... this time I actually stopped in I am so glad that I did this is a little hidden secret that needs to get out..... Good selection of food which is great.... The service was even better..... Love their drinks and they also have specials ..... patio was nice.... And I will definitely be back next time I'm in this area..."

"Really good burgers and fries I got the loaded cheeseburger and upgraded the fries to the herbed fries. Be warned, I left stuffed! I should have taken some home!"

"Nice little local bar and restaurant. They were doing some painting not bar itself so we had to sit outside in their patio which had shade at every table. They some how were unable to get our order in a had to come back again. I never did get my onions and tomatoes on my hamburger but it was good anyway. Nice wait persons and food."
