Local terms itself an eatery. Which as far as I can tell means it's divided between an area for everyone, and an area where minors aren't allowed. It's right across the street from Kits beach, and has a huge patio designed to take advantage of the view of the ocean and the summer sun. This means that once the season gets going, it tends to be crawling with beach rats, and can be a pain to get in. We went early enough in the year that it wasn't a problem. We also went early enough in the year that the patio wasn't open. I can't win.
Food was good. It's a pretty big menu. For the most part it's what you'd expect; burgers, and sandwiches, but there are some more eclectic items like gyozas. I had huevos rancheros, because I liked the idea of having breakfast for dinner. It was damn tasty. Everyone else at the table seemed equally pleased with their meal.
They've got a really big drinks list too. Their tap list is divided into two sections: "Rotating" and "Well Known and Trusted". What they call well known, I mostly call undrinkable. The rotating list was interesting, though, and had enough good microbrews to get through the night. For the non-beer drinkers, they have massive cocktails served in glass boots, and something called a tequila library. I think that must be a misnomer, because after two shots of tequila, nobody has the ability to read.
I think Local is worth checking out, but go early in the day if you want that coveted patio spot. It could be a very nice way to cap off a relaxing day at the beach.
