Stopped in last Friday night for a sandwich and a beer. Friendly staff good service. Had a watermelon wheat beer on tap, really good, light and tasty. Ordered the Grilled Pastrami on sourdough bread. Sandwich was good size and tasty the only complaint I had was the pastrami was cut kind of thick so it was a little tough. They really need to cut it super thin so it is not tough. I liked the place and will go back when I am in the area. read more

One of the best burgers you're going to find. And their chicken tender sandwich is worth crowing about! Great selection of beers and fast service too. read more

Good food, good service, great onion rings. And convenient location. It would rate 5 stars except for the fact that it's noisy as all get out. read more

Went there for the first time on a Saturday night to meet up with some friends and watch a band play. The place is smaller and unassuming but inside is a gem! The beer selection is awesome and includes a lot of craft beers and microbrews. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced - you have to get their onion rings and housemade horseradish sauce, they were fantastic! The owner was behind the bar, very friendly guy and was on the ball with our refills and requests. We will definitely be heading back to The Local. read more

Stopped by here for lunch on a road trip to Vermont. I just got a grilled cheese... But it was great! Sourdough bread was yummy and tomatoes tasted fresh. My hubby got pulled pork grilled cheese and he said it was awesome. French fries were cooked perfect. Our server was a sweet young girl. She was right on top of things. If we are ever in the area again will definitely stop by! read more

Bacon. Beer. Bands !!!! We were staying at the Inn down the street, and it was suggested to us that we have dinner here. At first we weren't sure it was the right place, the big windows make it look more like a sandwich shop vs. a restaurant, but we wandered in. They don't have many beers on tap, but the selection in bottles and cans is amazing. We grabbed a couple of apps, watched some tv then decided to wait to check out the band. While looking over the menu, I noticed a theme ... BACON so I asked "how much bacon do you serve in a day" the response was "about 3-4 lbs, and we don't serve breakfast" then he went on to say that all of the bacon was apple wood smoked from a local farm. All of their food is served in little plastic baskets, I got the turkey, apple, bacon grilled cheese sandwich which was very good, and my boyfriend was rendered speechless with the homemade sriracha ketchup that came with his fries. We went back again the next night and had a blast. It is very much a local place, but very welcoming and fun! read more

We happened to stop by this place, passing through town, and we were so pleasantly surprised! They had several good vegetarian options in addition to the burgers, etc. which made us (two vegetarians) happy! The thai chili onion rings were the best onion rings I've ever had, easily. The garlic parmesan fries were amazing. The caprese sandwich and veggie burger were fresh, tasty, and very generous with the yummy ingredients. The drinks were nice and strong. The service was relaxed and friendly. If you're anywhere near the area, go check this place out- don't be put off by the exterior, which does not look like a "pub." The feel is more of a comfortable local diner with a bar, than a pub. Very pleasant to sit and eat there. We are going to make it a point to go back sometime, even though we don't live nearby! read more

I just ate the best burger of my life along with result crispy french fries. The service was great too!

I'm in Warner frequently and I always find myself at The Local. It's a great stop. They have beer and tasty food. In Warner, it's the best place to get food. I ordered the reuben which I have stuck with. I also love the garlic parm. fries - they have so much BUTTER on them! I also enjoy the asian slaw. I've seen some salads that I plan to order next time I'm there. I like the side salads - just plain simple salads. I've been during lunch and dinner. When I went for dinner they had live music that was great. I've also gone alone and just chilled at the bar. read more

So I'm a killington weekend warrior and I'm always passing through this way on Friday nights after work. We usually stop at another brew pub but besides the beer its gotten kinda blah. So this time we decided to try something new. And I gotta say, I'll be having dinner here every Friday night from now on. The beer selection is copious and the food is indeed local and so delicious. Do not let the lack of urban ambiance scare you. This place has all that matters, great food, great beer and great people. Bonus its gentle on the wallet. read more

This has become a favorite lunch spot for my wife and me. Friendly atmosphere, small but diverse selection of local beers on tap, and an extensive menu (including vegetarian and gluten-free offerings). We always start with an order of the house-made eggrolls, either the everyday vegetarian version or the daily special. From there, you can't go wrong: Salads, sandwiches and burgers are all first class. Plus you can walk the meal off along a nice old Main Street with some cool shops, a telephone museum(!) and, not far away, the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum. read more

Just left here on a quick lunch stop traveling. Nice little local place, delicious burger (western BBQ) and the homemade spicy ketchup was out of this world. Topped it off with a nice cold one, and would go out of my way traveling again to make another stop. read more

I just ate at the local for the first time the other day and it was fantastic!!!! I can't believe I didn't find it sooner!! I had the westerner burger and it was absolutely amazing!! And their fries so yummy!!!the sign in the women's room says "fries before guys." And I thought it was too funny! So amazing would totally recommend! read more

I've been here several times and I haven't had a bad time yet. It's not a fancy place, kind of a hole in the wall place. Every thing I have tried here has been great. The salads are fantastic, they are huge. I've tried the egg rolls every time we go and I haven't had a bad one yet. Can't wait to go back again! read more

I stopped in for a quick dinner on a Monday night. I had a sandwich, fries and a beer. The place is not fancy, is very casual and has great food, and service. They have a great beer selection and a good variety of food. The place has a bunch of TVs for sports and seemed to be very clean. Much like the name implies, it has a nice hometown feel to it. I'll definitely come back. read more

Very large and tasty burger for the price nice for family or friends good soup and sandwiches. Kids will enjoy as well adults

Awesome beer selection, great apps, excellent salads and burgers with thick bacon - what's not to like - and definitely get the house slaw! - great find on 89! read more

We got off the highway looking for something quick and drove past this little gem. The prices are excellent and the food is even better. The staff were all very friendly and made us feel welcome. The mixed drinks and craft beer selection were impressive. I will be stopping for a drink or food every time we are on I-89. read more

Great location in Warner! Pleasantly surprised by a few meals we've had here along with a good selection of brews. Agree with a couple others here, classic place with something for everyone (seems to be very popular as well)!! read more

I had the buffalo chicken salad for lunch today and it was yummy, especially the blue cheese dressing which claims to be homemade. Buffalo sauce can sometimes be overused but not here. It was perfect and the chicken was tender. Salad was very fresh and reasonably priced. I'll be back! Thanks for a great lunch :) read more

My husband and I stopped here before grocery shopping. What a local gem! His burger was amazing and I think my pulled pork was the best I've ever had! They were out of sweet potato fries so we had onion rings and French fries instead....yummmmm!!! We'll definitely be back! read more

I was encouraged by the owner to give the tavern another try and I am glad we did. I went with the burger again and it was much better and my wife stayed with the salad since she liked it the first time there. Our server was very nice and attentive and we had a nice long conversation with the owner about acoustic music in the region. I would definitely go again. read more

What a pleasure to find this place on our way up to Montpelier for Easter! The dining area is spacious and light-filled, the service is friendly and fast, and the food is absolutely delicious. I had the Local Burger with cheddar cheese, which came perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful, with crisp lettuce, tomato, and onion, on a grilled brioche bun. The side of fries was also perfectly cooked. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich, with fries and coleslaw and pronounced each element delicious. What boosted the whole experience to another level was the complex and mouthwatering bbq sauce that was served with both sandwiches. It had the sweetness and smokiness of American sauces, but with a couple of hints of Asian flavors (Sriracha? Duck sauce?) that kept us on our toes. The restaurant is located in the center of a bustling small town that looked charming and prosperous. We want to return for more delicious sandwiches, as well as to try the coffee shop across the street and the bookstore on the next block. read more
