What People Are Saying About Local 138

The Scene – The wood-encased interior is minimally decorated to give Local a more contemporary edge than some others on Ludlow. Clean, geometric lines snake around the bar and two small alcoves facing the street on either side of the entrance serve almost as separate rooms, so patrons can socialize in semi-privacy. – – The Draw – Local proves to be a somewhat more subdued stop on the old bar-hopping trail, as well as a cool spot to catch Knicks games.

Good atmosphere, staff and prices -- a rare combination
by mikelewis
This bar typically has a relaxing atmosphere, good music (nothing cheesy, indie rock is a possibility), reasonable prices, decent lighting so you can actually see your friends, and pleasant bartenders. They were very accomodating about reserving the back room for me on a Saturday night (10/1/05) at no charge. It's good for maybe 15 people or so. The bar, overall, is small, but when I was there on a Saturday it never got too crowded for me.
- Pros: Ambience, music, bartenders
