Not the best service but good food. Brunch burger and apple cinnamon French toast specifically were very good.

Made a note in reservation that we there for a birthday but no acknowledgment from anyone. Server seemed potentially intoxicated, dancing, twerking, and simply difficult to find. Had to flag him down and went to bar ourselves to get water refills. Food was very good. Atmosphere is loud and almost “clubby”. Used to be a cool neighborhood spot… seems to have gone downhill.

Local 149 replaced a Southie classic known as, “The Farragut House.” Therefore this new restaurant is a more modern, family version of a Southie diner. Local does a nice job upholding the legacy of this iconic location, but they could take a bit more pride in their work on the floor by showing exceptional service and offer more food and coffee options for those who do not meet the traditional identity of a Southie resident in 2024. Thanks for having us; we had a nice time overall.

Went here for Sunday brunch, service was good considering there was only one waitress on. Mac and cheese balls were amazing, nachos we could’ve skipped (melted/congealed nacho cheese versus actual melted cheese). Ordered the breakfast burger medium rare, came out more well-done. Great atmosphere and solid spot for drinks and apps.

Distinctive neighborhood gem with better-than-typical gastropub fare. We loved the goat cheese balls, duck confit bao buns, cheeseburger sliders, and burnt ends, and appreciated the excellent service. Very reasonable prices too.
