Welcome to The Local – Craft Food and Drink. The Local is a neighborhood restaurant and bar in the heart of Coral Gables, featuring handcrafted food, craft beer, and classic cocktails.
The Local is the best place in Miami to enjoy great locally sourced food, 24 unique and rotating craft beers on tap, and a carefully curated selection of small-batch craft wine and spirits in a warm and welcoming pub environment.
Our chalkboard is updated daily with seasonal food and cocktail specials as we take pride in offering quality, responsibly-sourced options to our customers.
Next time you're in the neighborhood, stop by and see what Miami's been missing for so long.
In the Local Press:
Patrons at the event on Friday evening, May 11, enjoyed appetizers and $2 craft beers to toast the restaurant’s first year of operation. The party continued on Saturday, May 12, with specials all night and the launch of the new summer menu.
Located at 150 Giralda Ave., The Local / Craft Food & Drink features a warm and welcoming pub environment where guests can choose from 24 unique and rotating craft beers on tap and a selection of small-batch craft wine and spirits.
The Local is not only a great little neighborhood bar (it has 24 beers on tap) but also a damn good place to grab a bite. This is not the standard parade of chicken wings and sliders. The menu instead offers a well-thought-out mix of globally influenced dishes dressed in gastropub garb. Seasonal specials are updated daily, and chef de cuisine Vince Tien prefers that the food be procured locally whenever possible. Florida grouper is deep-fried for a traditional take on fish 'n' chips ($14) and then served with hand-cut thick fries and a dill tartar sauce for dipping.
A bowl of steamed mussels ($13) is packed with chunks of cured pork belly and surrounded by a pool of "mushroom miso beurre fondue." We love the sticky gochujan glazed ribs ($14) topped with "chopped kimchee nuts" and scallions, and the glazed doughnut bread pudding ($8) with salted caramel and a brown butter crème anglaise. We can't say enough about the Local's love of pleasing patrons. On a recent visit, a dish that we ordered failed to arrive. Executive sous-chef Paul Cantrell appeared from the kitchen to apologize profusely when it showed up on our bill, and then he raced to follow us outside as we left, with free drink tickets in hand for our next visit. We can't remember another white coat ever following us into the street.
