The Local Pacific Beach

So sad to be leaving this review. We’re PB locals and have been going there every weekend for 2 years but this Halloween night was a terrible experience. We were told at the front of the line that we could purchase a table w/ bottle service for $600. We were willing and ready to pay. We were told that there may not be any tables remaining, but they would go upstairs and check with the manager. No one ever came back down and we were then told that we could wait in a short line behind the bouncer and pay $30 a person to get in. We then waited behind the bouncer in a line with 10 other people for about half an hour. At this time, we were watching many people come up to the bouncer and immediately be let in. I imagine they were his friends and after 15 girls were let in we asked the bouncer when we would be able to pay to enter. He then proceeded to tell us that he had no idea why we were waiting in line behind him, that we were already told there were no tables available, and that we should get lost. He watched us stand in an imaginary line for 30 minutes and laughed in our faces after we VERY politely asked him what was going on. He was so angry and so rude after we were nothing but polite and waiting patiently. It seemed like he was on some sort of power trip and could not politely communicate that there was no tables and no line to pay to enter. He simply told us that we were all idiots. Such a waste of time and such a rancid, horrible vibe with the bouncer. Anyways, we went across the street to flamingo where the bouncers were amazing and accommodating, and we had a great time.

We went here for the Bills game on Sunday. The bar us very nice and our server was fantastic. They had a special menu of food native to Buffalo, NY. I must say this was the worst beef on weck sandwich attempt I have ever seen and the pizza logs were no bueno. Not even close to authentic Buffalo food. Still a nice experience though and I'll be back for drinks and the atmosphere only next time :)

We LOVE The Local! The service is amazing and the prices are really affordable, especially for being in the heart of PB! We hosted a get together the night before our wedding and Kayla was SO helpful in offering us the space that we needed. This spot is perfect to bring kids, dogs and we absolutely recommend it for a casual hang or big group party. Thank you for making our evening so special! :)
