The vision of a local Boone family who wanted to create a welcoming gathering space for locals and visitors to enjoy great food and wines in a casual, laid-back atmosphere. Exuding a home-away-from-home ambiance with comfortable décor, a lounge with comfy sofas, large-screen televisions, and billiards tables, the restaurant serves a menu of New American cuisine with dishes of fresh seafood, prime steaks, hearty burgers, woodfired pizzas, gourmet sandwiches, tacos, and fresh salads. A full-service bar offers craft beers and microbrews by the bottle or on tap, top-shelf spirits, classic cocktails, and fine wines from around the world, and live music is performed on Friday and Saturday nights. The Local is open for lunch and dinner, daily.
