The Local West End - St. Louis Park

The food was excellent! I really enjoyed the semi-private booths. However, after being seated by the hostess, we waited quite a while without anyone coming to take our order. We eventually had to find someone to assist us. Once we did, though, the server was very attentive. The burgers were a bit pricey at $15 each, but overall, I would definitely return and recommend it to others.

The member birthday special is awesome and our server (Lexi I believe) was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The regular prices are creeping up there a bit. We did have a great time and will go back.

The service was outstanding, perhaps a bit overly attentive, with staff frequently checking to see if we needed anything. The food was delicious, served hot and fresh. The atmosphere on a weekday lunch was welcoming and fairly tranquil.

Surprisingly uncrowded on a summer Saturday evening at 7PM our party of six was seated at a long table directly under an air conditioning vent, not a good start, even on a summer evening. It was freezing. Service was prompt, and it was easy to carry on a conversation as there weren't many people at the nearby bar -it was quite- a nice surprise. But the food! I had corned beef and cabbage, a traditional Irish dish. The menu read Roasted Corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and carrots. The corned beef rather than in slices of brisket came in 1 inch chunks together with pieces of potato and carrots and a couple of thick slabs of cabbage. The dish had an overall oily consistency, and whatever they did to it you could barely taste that it was corned beef, the major clue though that it was was the color. The cabbage totally devoid of taste. Less typical of pub food was the ahi tuna salad said not to be very good, but one vegetarian loved the very burger (with cheese). We will not be back.

Great staff and good vibe. The main bar is too noisy to hear the game so our party moved into the separate side room, which was much quieter, had regular tables and a larger flat-screen TV. Fabulous for families and older people. We 'll be back for the soccer games.
