About this business

The Local, located in Poncey-Highlands, is your quintessential neighborhood dive. This non-smoking bar has been a gathering spot for the community for years. Enjoy a chilled pint or premium spirits out on their patio, or the occasional karaoke nights indoors. Smoked wings, pulled pork sandwich and cheese pretzel are some of the delicious fare on offer. Great prices, hands-on service and a laid-back vibe make it a local favorite.

Huh? – Could someone please explain to me what "crunchier than thou" means? I'm sorry, I guess that I'm just not hip enough, but I promise to try harder...really.

local is for everyone! – I completely disagree with the idiot below who thinks the local is 'crunchier than thou' or anything less than completely accessable and an easy relaxed environment. No this is not a trendy buckhead wannabe-just some good people and good food. Atlanta is pretty poor on the BBQ-i personally like pulled pork sandwiches and, although they can't compete with slow roasted, hickory and oak smoked BBQ from N.

All of these Ponce places are for the crunchier than thou bunch... I am ashamed people would reocmmend this as a destination spot for visitors to Atlanta catching a happening HH scene.

Epitome of the Pub Crawl – the Local is the kind of place where time just melts away. With a good group of friends you will have an amazing experience in this low key, relaxed bar. Throw some darts, play a little Foos, eat drink and be merry...

Great Fries – Belgian fries, they say. I don't know. But, they have the skins still on one or two sides, they sit in a cone of waxed paper in a glass, malt vinegar and sea salt are served with them. I don't care if they are healthy or not, these are great fries. Barbeque is much beter than average, too. Wait staff is friendly. This is a great bar.

The Best Bar East Of The Mississippi – This is by far the best bar I've ever been to. Monday nights are unbeatable with live karaoke, great food, and a really hip environment. For an after-work drink or a night out with some friends, this is the place to be.

I love this place – This is one of the coolest bars in Atlanta. The food is good (try the pita pizza) and the service is fun. The jukebox needs to be changed, leave the radiohead in there. The new game room is a nice touch.
