Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
I overheard an owner of another business in the Old Market saying that Local Beer is hoping to open on Friday in time for Berkshire.
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
I was also told May 1 opening.
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
Looks like there will be "normal beer" as my Mom calls it for those who don't like craft beer.
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
I saw those photos on Facebook and was a bit surprised... I thought it was only Local Beer?

Maybe just the taps will be all local?Brad wrote:I saw those photos on Facebook and was a bit surprised... I thought it was only Local Beer?
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
The "standards" will be available for those who might ask for it, but it certainly is not the focus.
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
I should clarify that I believe you are correct that all the taps will be local, and the standards will just be in cans/bottles.
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
I can also confirm the soft opening in time for Berk. Official grand opening not for a couple of weeks though.
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
OWH posted on Facebook that it opens tomorrow. So much for the "Soft Opening".

Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
I've eaten here three times since they've opened. Some of the best food for the price in DTO IMO. The double decker club is MASSIVE and the spicy spam sandwich is incredible.

That's good to hear, i can;t wait to check it out after all the Garth Concerts are over.mr. omaha wrote:I've eaten here three times since they've opened. Some of the best food for the price in DTO IMO. The double decker club is MASSIVE and the spicy spam sandwich is incredible.

Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
I went there last night. Great place. I think they have a concept that can survive and thrive in that space.

Spent time here Friday and Saturday night. Of course they were slammed with the 2 Garth Brooks concerts. But the staff worked hard and I think they did a great job. They were smart and had an event menu. Kept it simple. The beer selection is fantastic. Other than the occasional cowpoke ordering a Busch Lite! Very different vibe than DJ's. Nice to have an alternative. The big question is how well they do on no event nights. I will definitely be going back.
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
I think that they have positioned themselves to be different than you standard sports bar which will help them a lot on non event nights. People will go anywhere with cold beer when big things are happening, LOCAL seems to have positioned themselves as a unique option when compared to The Matt or DJ's. Farrel's and 9th Street Tavern while decent really were run of the mill and marketed themselves toward the same crowds that frequent the competition in more visible locations.swgiust wrote:Spent time here Friday and Saturday night.

With LOCAL's focus on Nebraska beers and giving people things to do like Connect Four they have geared toward a different crowd. For instance I doubt this scene has ever happened at DJ's.
Obviously it has the new factor still, but I have high hopes that this will be a staple of DT for years to come.

Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
I noticed yesterday at lunch that the patio was filled and there were quite a few bikes on Dodge as well. I know that I never saw that at this location before with Farrell's or 9th St Tavern.
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
That picture looks amazing, can't wait to try this place out.
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
May 29th they will be the first in Omaha to offer beer from Kinkaider Brewing in Broken Bow.

I went lastnight and it was very busy. I think they finaly have a winning concept in this space. Much improved seating & the service was good. The only negative about this place is they have a ventilation problem always have. You & your clothes will smell like french fries after you leaev. I'll be back!
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
LOCAL is selling "Crowlers." 32 oz cans filled on the spot that you can take home.
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
wow, that's cool!

Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
One of my birthday parties today was at Local where I had time to talk with Charlie Yin about the family business, his uncle Milton, the Advent of the Imperial Palace, the developing concept of Hiro 88 and... The next Local development in Lincoln which will have a Hiro 88 next door, and... His new brewery. After talking with him over an hour let's just say he knows his beers, knows many of the local Brewers and sounds like this may be a real well thought out piece of work!
When I Facebook friended him he saw my profile pic and said you're on eOmahaForums... He was on eOmaha when the concept of Local was first being developed here and mentioned the nay sayers, and proudly mentioned how now they have three locations with a fourth in Lincoln in the works!
Oh, and I did mention the ventilation problem here and he just nodded his head and said they inherited that problem which sounded like it is almost impossible to fix.

Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
I can't remember... how much retail space is in that building?
Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge)
Looking closer the license request is for a 22x63 area on the 5th floor. Maybe this is event space they are operating. Not a ton of detail to be gathered.

That area could be so cool if 480 didn't dump on to their front porch.

Our Downtown location endured a year of heavy construction as well as MUD water main breaks which led to some issues that proved hard to overcome.

Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge) - CLOSED
Hard for any place to survive the year they've had -- the construction nearby is bad enough (the sidewalk on that side of the street has been closed for how long?), the multiple MUD water main breaks have been worse, and combined with the reality of that location with the 480 ramp being at their doorstep it's unsustainable.
I'm sure they'll find another downtown location and be back open soon.

It will be interesting to see where they end up and if for sure it's downtown. They referenced a new home out west.

Re: LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen (9th & Dodge) - CLOSED
Hate to see them go, It was one of my favorite "close" spots. I am sure as soon as the apartment building is done, something else will open there. It's not a great spot, but it's not a bad spot. One option they should work on is doubling the width of the sidewalk on the north side of highway. It would be much more "walker" friendly.
