The Local

This place is a cool vibe and the music is awesome. For the burgers we ordered we have no complaints they were really delicious and the service was awesome. The "seat yourself" arrangement is poorly designed; given their high volume of customers, it doesn't quite work. The tables are too close together, making it difficult to navigate when needing to go to the bathroom without bumping into other patrons' chairs. Other than that we will definitely be back!

I frequent the original Local quite a bit which I love. It's one of the hidden gems in Nashville. I was eagerly awaiting the new location opening. Its a beautiful building both inside and out. The staff and food are excellent just like the other location. Where it falls short for me is the layout and configuration of the stage and tables. It's like the stage was an after thought and not the primary focus of the room. I sat at the bar and there is a sea of hightop tables between the bar and the stage that sits very low. You can barely see that anyone is even onstage because you have to look through all the people in between. If they just had hightops on the perimeter and low tops in between it would be a great improvment. They should also raise up the stage as well either way.

The service here is amazing. We had a little double date here and the ambiance was great for that. They had attentive and quick service, good music and a comfy layout. It's fun, casual and spacious.The downside... the food and drinks fell a bit short. We're not picky people but everyone found their food to be a little disappointing. Our least favorite was probably the street corn side. The texture was off/mushy and the flavor was pretty tart... not like cilantro lime in elote, but really rather sour. We got a few Old Fashioneds and they tasted very watered down and as if it had the neon red maraschino cherry juice in it.I am absolutely going to try this place again because the people there are awesome. I think it's a newer establishment, so Im sure they're still working some things out!

We went around opening time on a Saturday and the place was pretty empty, but I'm sure it gets crowded later in the day. The food was good. However the fish and chips portion was tiny for $16. 3 little pieces of fish and a handful of fries.

Saturday Birthday Party around 5:30, place was BUSY! Well Managed, Great PRICES on Drinks and Food, Fun live Music, Good Server and Tasty Food. Gastro Pub Food means just that, nothing fancy, but prepared well and ample portions. Fun Atmosphere

Great new venue that Hendersonville has been waiting for. If you're looking for a Nashville feel, along with live music and a fun vibrant bar atmosphere this is the spot. The sign by the door says come a stranger and leave a local...I'm told the menu is a smaller modified bar menu until they get fully running, but the food I ate and saw coming out of the kitchen was great. The nachos were plenty and somehow managed to stay crispy but still had enough cheese and pulled pork, delicious. The burgers looked great and were huge. Come check it out and leave a local!

Waitress was very nice. Menu was very limited and food was just okay. We had chicken tenders and sweet and spicy wings. Wings were not spicy. I did like the fries. Wasn't too impressed by the Styrofoam cups but maybe they haven't received their cups yet.

You can tell that I didn't really have time to snap pictures of the food because we all dug in right away. This is one of my BIL's favorite restaurants his favorite burger is the G off burger. I am sooooo picky about my pulled pork and this is some of the best I've had in awhile... besides my favorite bbq in Alabama. 100% get the jalapeño ranch.... For anything. The live music is SO fun and cute. Service was amazing, you won't regret coming to the local that's for sure

Not impressed-- tried to go this weekend which we knew we would probably have to wait and were fine with that.What we did not realize is there's not even a hostess and it's just first come first serve completely which would be fine with a better system. However there were people hovering over/stalking tables and snatching them as soon as others left, and then there's two different doors that people are coming in from so you don't even get the next available table because someone might come in from the opposite door and grab one. It was extremely annoying and frustrating. We will never try to go again.

Fun local venue. Nashville vibes without the drive downtown. Especially talented musicians featured every night, too.
