Editorial Review for The Local – by Jake Sussman

The Scene
This popular Ponce destination is a neighborhood joint with an urban edge. Worn-in couches in the window are prime real estate, as is the small patio. Tables and booths outnumber the bar stools. Atmosphere comes in the form of lots of wood, a tin ceiling and old pictures of the neighborhood. An above-average jukebox includes everything from the Pixies to Rush.

The Draw
Known for its cheap PBR tallboys and Wednesday night trivia, the Local also offers standard draft selections and a full bar. It has a respectable menu, which includes barbecue plates, ribs, hush puppies and--for the neighborhood crowd--veggie burgers and pizza pitas, all for under $10. Addictive Belgian fries, tucked into a pint glass, are worth a special trip.

When to Go

The Local rarely gets crowded, except on Wednesdays. It's the area's favorite trivia destination.

I really like The Local good food good drinks and polite. Trivia night is the best in town. It's much more fun, comfortable and classy than there neighbor across the street.

Pros: Fun spot

If you like weird and occasionally crowded bars this is a place for you to drink. Stick to be PBR or you will end up with a ridiculous bar tab, just like me. The DJ spun some Triple Six and it was all good.

Pros: Delicous Food and Lots of Atmosphere.

Cheap beer and respectable pub grub hit the spot at this low-key Ponce hangout.  See the full editorial review.
