Local Gastropub Description:
No need to don your Sunday best for dinner at Local Gastropub. In fact, at first glance, one might think Local only serves casual burgers and fries. Not so. This laidback pub dishes out gourmet grub without all the finery. Exposed brick walls and bar-style track lighting lend the place a casual atmosphere, but the menu impresses. Southern classics meet Italian fare with a mix of grilled flatbreads (options include barbecue chicken and goat cheese with asparagus), seafood (think Creole shrimp and grits), and steaks such as the fire-grilled Tuscan rib-eye. Daily changing soups promise warming, tasty, light fare. Salads are nicely constructed with large wedges of lettuce and homemade croutons. The restaurant is located just blocks from both the Orpheum Theatre and FedExForum; it's ideal for locals gathering pre-show to share a "pub plate" of wings, sea scallops, or Delta fish 'n' chips. The wine list is uninspired, so you'll do better with the brews. This is a pub, after all.
