The Local, Minneapolis

Local, The - Three smaller pubs, each with its own brand of Irish flair, comprise this flagship bar and restaurant in the heart of downtown. Guests can drink like a fish, eat like a horse, and chat with friends at this nightly hotspot. Jam-packed with corporate thirty-somethings during happy hour, its specialty whiskey drinks and large selection of beer would make even the most sober prudes giddy. The half-dark wood, half sunlit pub is the perfect place for a black and tan, served up by the super-cool hipster wait staff that uses Minnesota nice to invite anyone and everyone into this large circle of friends.
