    Happy hour menu

    We were shocked! Food was fresh, great tasting. Tried the hummus board and margherita pizza with cauliflower crust. We can't wait to be back to this spot. Food was amazing and house Chardonnay for $6 during happy hour - very smooth. Service was speedy and [[HIGHLIGHT]]atmosphere was clean and trendy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A 5-star from me is rare so visit this gem!

    My sis and her beau are regulars at Local Bar, mainly for their Thursday Steak night. We recently joined them, as my beau is rarely treated to steak since we are a no-red-meat household. :) If you plan to go for steak night - go early, as they sell out. We got there around 8:30 and just one steak remained. The Local Bar is a stone's throw away from Local Table. I'm no stranger to Local Table (in Cypress and Garden Oaks), and the menu offers some familiar items (hummus, burgers) but also some variety that you won't find at the restaurant, like skillet wings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Full bar, TVs will all the sports, high top and booth seating, and so many neighborhood locals, it's indeed "The" Local Bar, but with elevated food and drinks...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Local bar is casual, without an overly "sports bar" feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great location for Towne Lake and Bridgeland residents. They have some of the same menu items as Local Table, so the food is really good. The craft cocktails are always nice, too. I got the basil gimlet (pictured) and the blueberry martini. Both were excellent.

    Nestled right next-door to local table, local bars where you go to get your bar food fix The giant pretzel is amazing!! Just like you would expect from a baseball, football game, or county fair, it really hit the spot that night. Great selection of beers and spirits. The staff is amazing! The bartenders and waitresses are always extremely friendly and attentive. The place is usually pretty clean, considering it is specifically a bar. You actually see employees from local table over to local bar to help out or to get specific drinks made. I love coming coming. here, especially since it is walking distance. Rock solid five stars.

    Chocolate martini. Dessert on point!

    The Local Bar is, in all its glory, my actual local bar. Its the fresh food, heavy pours, and hand crafted cocktails that keep bringing me back. It doesn't matter if it's for a quick bite or a several hour, much needed social therapy session with my crew -- this is my go to spot. What to try: hummus board, pizza, burger. Their food menu was recently consolidated so there are less options but I'm not complaining. Thursday nights are my favorite because it's Steak Night. $23 gets you a beautiful steak and either side of fries or a salad. Go with the salad - it's really good. The plate is big enough to split if you're not too hungry or decide to order something else. The Brussels are fixed exactly like next door at Local Table and IYKYK (order them). If you decide to come as a large group on the weekend I recommend calling ahead of time as they offer live music and it can get busy. Service is always good but especially when Warren is behind the bar. Come as you are because there's nothing pretentious going on here.

    This was our first time at Big City Wings although it's near our neighborhood. There are many TVs…read moreand we got to watch the Astros, which was great. One thing we noticed and loved-even my teenager mentioned it-it's that it was not loud, which we appreciated. Most sports bars are so loud that you can't even have a conversation at the table. In this case, we could see and hear the Astros game but it was loud enough to hear and not overpowering. The service was good. Friendly, and really everything you expect. Drinks were filled. The wait for our food wasn't long. The food was also good. We started with Tachos-which were Nacho tater tots. I liked them a lot and would get them again. My son ordered boneless wings with Garlic Parmesan. They were quite large-he didn't finish his order. My husband had the Al Pastor salad. He said the flavor was good-but he wished for more pork flavor and dressing that wasn't quite as thick. There were so many ingredients- Tongs come with the salad so you can toss it yourself. I ordered chicken tenders which came with waffle fries. They arrived very hot and crispy. All in all we had a great experience. I could see this becoming a go-to restaurant!

    Descent food - Bad service…read more Service - the person who answers phone does not know the wait time (it's someone in the back not hostess). We waited 20 minutes before wait staff came to our table - geez. Portions of our order were delivered to wrong table - we kept asking for the missing items, but nothing. Food - elote fries and onion rings a great. Wings are good. Overall - nice atmosphere - just seems like poor management - staff looked lost and unsure who had what table. So don't expect good service if you try this place.

    First time visit to this small and excellent restaurant…read more Located at the corner of Fry Road and Mound Road it has a restaurant seating area of about 50 and a large bar area for 20 more. The menu is short but includes most of the classics. I had the Seafood Tacos and my wife had the Chicken Mole Enchilada. The tacos were surrounded by a flour tortilla (corn is also available) with fish that can be grilled or steamed. Packed with flavor from the onions, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and more I enjoyed every last bite. The plate included rice, beans, and sliced red onion. Delicious My wife loved her selection as well. The serving was big enough to take home what was not consumed allowing her an extra day to enjoy the mole. We also ordered a side of guacamole which was served as a huge rounded scoop on a plank. Don't get me started on the chips we used to eat every last bit of the guacamole. When we told our waiter, Jose, how much we liked the chips he gave us a bag to take home! I had some today and they were still crunchy with a hint of salt. Now to drinks: my wife had the house Pinot Grigio and I the house margarita which I ordered frozen with no salt. The margarita had a clear lime note but did not suffer from it. All in all we agreed that Carmelita's deserves a return visit next time Mexican food is our choice.

    Good food. The quesadillas and fish tacos were good. The margarita flight was tasty…read more Ambiance was nice & clean. There was one other patron at the bar. So, the place was not busy at all. If the service was good, it would've been a 5 star. It started well but she lost interest in us. Took almost 20mins and we had to get up to reminder her that we still needed the check.
