Local 149

The other night, I had the most uproarious and unforgettable dining experience at Local 149, and let me tell you, it was an absolute rollercoaster of delight! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the tantalizing aroma of mouthwatering dishes and the sight of a bar that looked like it was curated by the gods themselves, thank you Hey-Suz. First off, let's talk about the food. Oh-My-Baby Christmas Jesus. The food! Each dish was a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds like a flash mob in stealing from Sephora. I ordered the Burnt Ends, Popcorn Chicken and Drunkin Scallops, and let me tell ya, Dear Lord Baby Jesus, I saw fireworks explode as I put that delicate meat into my mouth. Every bite was like winning the lottery!Now, on to the drinks. The cocktails here aren't just beverages; they're a full-on EXPERIENCE in a glass. I sipped on the "Good N U Mule" and the "Smoking Green," which made me feel things that I haven't since my wife left me. By the second round, I was convinced I could get here back, Cynthia if you're reading this I still love you.And oh, the staff! The GM is a smoken hot dynamo who could probably erect steel beams with just a wink. Her charm and charisma had everyone, including my grandpa, excited like teenagers. Not to be outdone, the AGM is a shredded, dark, and handsome dreamboat. His suave demeanor, ripped physique, and dazzling smile had my sister creating a lake a sin. But wait, there's more! The bar manager - let's call him "Big Ole Daddy" - is what all men are terrified of, the Mr. Steal Your Mom type. He's like the Dumbledore of cocktails, conjuring up potions that had us all believing in his magic wand, Making everyone feel like they were part of one big party.By the end of the night, I was convinced I had stepped into an alternate universe where food, drinks, and drop-dead gorgeous staff collided to create the ultimate paradise. Local is not just a restaurant; it's a life-changing adventure. If you haven't been, drop whatever you're doing and go now. You won't regret it!

The food and service were good. The chicken sandwich was great and the wings were 10/10. The oysters and octopus were a little disappointing though

Revisited Local 149 for the first time in a decade at least. Very crowded and loud at 7:30 but managed 3 seats at the bar. Competent service from a very busy bartender. We enjoyed our various drinks ($12 ea) and beers (tons of choices) and I thought the fried chicken sandwich was excellent. It was advertised as Nashville hot and there was none of that which I was fine with. Plentiful and excellent tater tots.

It's hard to go wrong with a trendy brunch place in Southie. This place was really good, great service and food, but I felt like it wasn't anything too special. I would definitely go back, but if you're visiting Boston, I recommend checking out other more unique places for brunch. Not pictured was the basic mimosa I got because it's not brunch without a mimosa. The most delicious part of the meal was the mac and cheese balls. They were amazing! I always need to try the place's mac and cheese and I love when the restaurant takes it to the next level, like a mac ball! I thought it was interesting that they served in on marinara sauce, I didn't think it would work well, but it actually did.We also got the breakfast tacos, which were basic and good, can't go wrong with that. And we also go the banana fosters french toast. This was really good, really sweet though so we couldn't finish it. Overall, good basic brunch and good food.

I've been to Local 149 three times: for brunch, dinner, and post-dinner drinks and snacks. The black bean burger is great as are the snacks/apps and drink choices. I was disappointed today when I went to brunch because my corned beef hash was 100% not corned beef hash... it was huge chunks of corned beef (at least one inch cubed per chunk) and pieces of either red potato or fingerling potato that were quartered. The ratio per bite was totally off and these huge pieces of potato and beef didn't create an absorbent base for the eggs. I picked at it for a bit and eventually gave up. High quality just not what I wanted. The server was very kind and offered to take it off the bill. In summary: the food is good but don't order the corned beef hash if you actually want diner style small pieces.

I want to respond to Amanda L. And all of the rest of U that her message may resonate with.Dead Amanda and co,Did you consider when you used her name that you are the one actually specializing her and describing her exact location? Was your intent to endanger your server or purely shame her? Do you know that where you went for Mother's Day is not the Capitale Grille but a BAR by the beach highly populated by young people that dress just as she does? I actually go topless on southie beach as a woman as I feel it is mi equal opportunity right to Vitamin D and especially important in these times of women's and humans rights on the line to deweaoponize the perception of the female figure and teach by example that it is a sacred vessel to be appreciated. You are probably the type that saw mi doing yoga on the beach this way and sent your kids to a Celtics game holding "This is not South Beach it's Southie" sign. How dare anyone compare us to Florida, if you are so uncomfortable here it ironically may be a place for you. If dress code was a thing of concern for you, you could have called the place prior to confirm it aligns with your values. If sanitation was a concern regarding the hair, if you are so BOLD to name drop on the internet here? You could have kindly pulled her or the manager aside since you also made it seem as if you frequent and love their food, and RESPECTFULLY let them know about health code, it is not always mandatory if you are not behind counters or in the kitchen and sometimes people simply have a certain type of day and forget. The service is actually the most important thing which you did not make any specific complaint on which after you have discredited yourself comes off as insecurity. If you wanted to warn people they may be confused about the kind of place it is, again you could have kindly done so. Before the slaughtering puritans there were the native Americans right here on these lands, so do you know what they wore? Be a part of progression of equality, do you know how many mothers have died due to a sliver of skin being revealed? Was your mother actually uncomfortable? Mi grandmother RiP we're gynocolygists in Syria and Armenia and they championed mi nude are and bravery to be miself. It's not up to the trendy bar to reconsider what their employees wear it is up to u to b a genuine example for ur daughters and support to women worldwide. Maybe seek therapy and ask yourself why you are so controlling and insecure (hey helped mi and so many others NO SHAME haha!) and if u choose to project ur problems on mi next legally I am not doing anything gratuitous and u could actually help Mi create safe legal ground and environment for mothers and daughters forever to come. Osteoporosis is on the rise in women have u been getting some sun? How will your sons ever learn how to be men if their only exposure to reality is through the realm of the internet and porn. Don't think you know your kids so well and don't worry there are establishments u can go and so long as they can still afford to exist in this economy you should b good (can't speak for the karmic sense we all tally our own karmic calculators). Best wishes and good luck.The ultimate irony is the only reason I actually ordered food there is because I remembered Ashley and her amazing energy and kindness and thought hey I'm not totally sure about this place despite the food being good but it will be worth getting to stop by and tell her hi in case she is there and I'm so glad I did even in a few moments she uplifted and made mi night with her simple kindness and genuine smile.Y'all should b thanking people that courageously come out to SERVE u and share their beauty and inspire despite the many judgements and cruelties of this world. And not to mention the service industry where some places people don't even get tips.Do y'all kno how employees are treated at ur favorite places? Ask urselves. And instead of inappropriately taking to the internet ask the right people the right questions and if u want to help actually do that.Peace and love y'all.FIVE STARS FOR ASHLEY! And those mac balls and octopus hit last night y'all. And I'll keep it totally real that review tipped mi 2 it I could not read that and feel comfortable sleeping at night it literally disturbed mi. I hope everyone understands the sincerity and deep importance of mi message 4 all of Us.And Amanda PS. People can equally be aroused by topless men. There are places in this world it's not custom for women to wear tops and places where while families live in huts do you think they hide? Find out how ur local favorite restaurants are treating their teams so you know what systems you are contributing too, order some to your couch and watch : Half the Sky Turning Oppression into Opportunity Worldwide on PBS is good to start, then Last Week Tonight episode on Sex Work.

Great food, service is fast and ambiance was fun and lively. Would love to come back to this establishment in the near future. Would recommend the brussel sprouts and burgers for sure!

Underrated spot! The inside vibe is so fun and artsy, outdoor is so cute w the lights. We stumbled upon this place one day when lines were too long at other bars and we were so happy. We got the beet salad with grilled chicken and the hummus plate and some drinks! Super cute def will be back

Great service for Sunday brunch. Absolutely loved the girl dinner drink! The chicken nachos were a great starter and we both loved our meals. Very filling taking half home for lunch!

New menu for spring / summer is pretty meat focused with the few sandwich choices 3 are beef burgers. I like the old menu with more shareable options such as flatbreads that were once permanent on the menu. It would be great to have the steak tips back as the 14oz sirloin is a lot for one person if eating alone. Overall love coming here but the new menu isn't as inviting.
