The bartenders were super friendly and made sure to keep up with the demands of our venue. The food and drinks were top-notch. We were served some finger food, and the meat balls were to die for. The drinks had interesting twists to classic drinks and left me wanting more. If you like mystery and enter a secret hidden bar for the elite just like in the movies, this location will make you feel like that with its setup.

Opens around 9 a.m. for the few early-drinking regulars and keeps a slow pace throughout the day until a louder crowd arrives at 5 or so. Love the regular-crowd vibe, of which the bartenders and owner are a part. I've been going here for years when I lived in Hartford and when I'm in town now. Amenities: No taps, just liquor and bottles. Cheap prices. Food selection is frozen burgers/sandwiches/pizza (cheap) and snacks (Cheez-Its, jerky, pickled eggs). Seating is at bar stools and a couple booths. Pool table. (Note: I was horrified to see this listed as "closed" a while ago. I had to play phone a friend to verify that it's not. To my knowledge it's been open continuously for a long, long time.)

First time at Parkville Market and The Local and have to say I am beyond impressed!…read more The Local has something for everyone. The ambiance here is so cool- I love the decor and set up. Our bartender was super nice too! I ordered their cucumber cocktail and thought it was perfect! It was a warm day and this drink definitely gave off summer vibes. Very light and refreshing and made with quality ingredients! You can even ask to have your cocktail in a plastic cup so you can walk through Parkville Market. I opted to do this just because I've never been here before but I would totally come back to chill at The Local next time! I can definitely see coming here on the regular! Can't wait to try their other specialty cocktails!

They do stay open later Parkville Market but last call is around 10 PM. All you have to do is go upstairs behind the elevator.

The service is super super friendly!

Their drinks are pretty cheap, especially the 2/$5 Jell-O shots. They didn't seem to have any flavors except watermelon, which was fine. I got a margarita as well. the flavors were pretty good and I love a bartender with a heavy hand. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that the space is excessively friendly. Just note that you will have to go up the stairs in order to get in.

Definitely a great place to hangout and catch up with a friend on a quiet day. The staff are awesome and very in-tune with their guests and it seems like there is a strong group of regulars that frequent the bar. I definitely can see myself becoming more active there and bringing friends along. I got a bit confused at first thinking there would be some simple food options there since it's called Spigot CAFE, but no food unless from a food truck, if one is available. Good to know!

It was definitely a chill vibe and ended up getting pretty busy a bit after 12 when we were leaving. Seems like a good neighborhood spot but I don't think it's my vibe so I'm unlikely to return.
