Best place in town for a pint and a great meal. The staff is amazing and the entire menu is fantastic. Also the best shafts in town!
Great food and drinks! Price normal average, needed about 30$ per person for main dish and a alc drink! Dinner took a while but the patio is nice so it was okay! Unfortunately it seemed like the water we got was tap water as you tasted it - not so nice/tasty for people who are used to high quality tap water from center europe!
I was in Victoria for couple days and this place has the best outdoor dining area around the harbor. Good food and beer. Definitely worth trying if you are in Victoria.
Without a doubt, the BEST patio in Victoria! Amazing fare, great beer line-up, and hands down some of the nicest staff I have ever met.

Had an amazing experience at The Local in Victoria. Staff was pleasant and very courteous. Spoke with Roger for sometime and enjoyed and we learned about the connection to The Farmhouse next door, so we had breakfast there the following day. Would recommend The Local to anyone visiting Victoria. Great spot!!!!
What a wonderful time we had. The view, the drinks, the food and the service was spectacular. Definitely revisiting this spot again.
Great place with fantastic food and family friendly. Awesome staff as well.
We stopped in here after whale watching. Food was great! We had the fish/chips, poutine, and quesadilla (which uses a unique crust). Service was great! The vibe of the restaurant/bar was great! Glad we stopped there instead of heading to the back to the boat.
Amazing food, good beer selection, great service, mediocre sangria. Will come back next time I'm on the island!
Great food and service and a great place to watch a. Game! Great atmosphere! Thanks Jer and staff!
Best nachos in town, and the other menu items are great too. One of the best patios in town too.
Great location, nice patio, good food, excellent staff!! �
A little bit expensive but it's all about the location. A very nice patio with lots of seating in the heart of downtown, right beside the inner harbour. The food was excellent and so were the drinks. The caesar comes with a pepperoni stick so make sure to ask for it without if you don't eat pork !
Awesome location (right at the harbour), lovely patio, and great ambience inside as well. To top this off, amazing food. Went there twice during my visit to Victoria, and cannot forget the service being offered. This place is always full. Should not be missed at all !
Patio!. Great patio for a couple drinks on a hot afternoon, shared the curry prawns and they where great! Prices are higher, but its in the tourist ring.
Good food, friendly service. Went for patio beers and some food on a sunny day. Delicous shrimp alfredo pizza. Friendly service. All the food I saw coming out looked good.. will return
I went for brunch here on the weekend with a girlfriend of mine. And this is a great place from my first experience there. The portion size was good, not too much. And it was tasty and fresh. I had the eggs Benedict, and I'm always skeptical because of the hollandaise sauce, but it was good. Not the traditional as it had regular bacon and avocado, but still really good! Service was good. It wasn't super busy since we went basically right after it opened at 11:30 on Saturday morning. I recommend this place, and can't wait to try them out for lunch or dinner!
Really fantastic experience. I had the Tandoori chicken wrap with a side garden salad, my boyfriend had the lb wings special with a plain burger and fries. We were both blown away by the service, presentation, and quality of the food for average prices. Outstanding job by the folks in the kitchen. We'll be back for sure!
Overall was a good experience. The service was good and the food what we expected. Portions were bang on and fresh. I had the tandoori wrap, and it was good. Chicken was a bit dry but the other components in the wrap carried it along well. My wife had the turkey club and really enjoyed it even though she could only eat half (it's quite large). If you're a hardcore Indian fan don't expect much from the tandoori, but it is still pretty tasty. Great atmosphere would definitely return.
Great. I was there when it was really busy and me my gf ordered potato skins and our meals and our skins were late so they gave it to us for free and gave me and my gf a free drink of our choice soo i was really impressed with everything
Late night stop. I love stopping here on my way downtown. Usually I just get a few beer and an order of wings. Drinks are a very good price compared to many places in the area.
They also have good cocktails. The ceaser in a boot is a personal fav.
Great food!. Went with a friend who lived in Victoria up until this year, but had never visited the place. We were both impressed with the food. I had the fish and chips with halibut, and they were light and crunchy on the outside, and incredibly soft on the inside. He had the teriyaki salmon with rice pilaf. Fairly nice patio, service wasn't particularly terrible or great.
Had the Veg-head Wrap... very tasty! Not disappointed at all. Server was friendly and appropriately attentive (not overdone, and didn't ignore). I will definitely be back!
High Fives all around. Great place to watch the last Canucks game,...good beers on tap and a very nice pub atmosphere.
The food me and fren had was really,really good.
The tastiest butter chicken I've ever had and the Tandoori Halibut was a big, perfectly cooked portion,...the veggie sides also perfect.
There will be future visits for sure.
Friendly, attentive service from all the wait staff.
This place is a welcome surprise.
Cheers.
Get Big Daddy's Club Samich.. Whoa... Get Big Daddy's cajun chicken club on sourdough. You won be dissapointed. Probably the best samwhich in Victoria.
Every wednesday 25% of all food for being military after 16h00. How can i not go and try!?
I was nervous after reading the other reviews, but we had a great experience. Great service, good food and inventive cocktails.
First Time Visit Aug 6th2010. We visit Victoria frequently and enjoy dining out. Our first visit to the 'LOCAL" started with drinks at the Bar, Jimmy, the head bartender, makes an awesome Mojito !! and is obviously very experienced, greeting us with a warm, friendly smile.We shared the Prawns Provencale appy, it was the BEST ever, very flavorful.Our main course was the Beef Curry, just right for a rainy night. Service was excellent, thanks Jamie S. We will return ...
Best food EVER. I have never had such good food in my life!
I love fettuccine alfredo, but am always scared to order it because the sauce usually tastes horrible. I was extremely pleased with the pasta I had. My boyfriend ordered a 2pc fish and chips and received 2 pieces of fish in beer batter, the size of his forearm. We have never had such an amazing food experience.
Awesome Food; Loud Atmosphere. My wife and I went and split a mixed green salad (which was amazing). The ingredients tasted extremely fresh. Then we split their ribs. The meat was falling off the bone, and they weren't too fatty (like most ribs).
We had great services, but the only downside to the Local Kitchen was how loud it was. It was hard to carry a conversation with my wife sitting at the same table.
We'll definitely be going back to the Local Kitchen. Maybe even tonight.
Great flavours, pleasant staff and decent price by the Bastion square. Love it!
Really good food and service with very decet pricing. I was very impressed. They also have a great menu
We ordered the Blackened Cajun Chicken Caesar salad and the Prime Rib Beef Dip. Loved the salad and side of fries, not so much the beef dip which was too salty for my taste. Service was great. Sports bar atmosphere was a pleasant surprise (exterior did not suggest this). Beautiful harbor views if you dine in the patio area.
Great service and great food! Really enjoyed meeting the owner Roger! He accommodate us in the best way he could. Food came really fast Great location by the water
We went here on a gorgeous day in Victoria. The drinks were tasty. I had The Local Lemonade and my husband had a mojito. We stopped in for a snack and shared the Stanley Cup Poutine and a pound of hot wings. The wings were fried to perfection and the gravy on the fries was delicious! The service was wonderful as well. Everyone was working hard to make sure everyone had what they needed.
Went for brunch with a friend. The service was good, as well as the ambiance. We ordered poutine and a sandwich, and the food was yummy and abundant. The waiters were friendly, and I recommend 👌 the place if you are close to the area.
We ate here for a date night and we have a great experience! Authentic atmosphere and great service.
For mains, we tried two of the specials including an Artctic char Wellington and a spicy Italian sausage pasta dish. Both very unique dishes.
Great atmosphere, views, drinks and service. It’s a great place to have a ocean view experience :)
Meat lovers Pizza is phenomenal.
We came here during the semifinals of the world cup and the atmosphere was incredible. World cup aside, this place was recommended to us by other restaurants and we decided we had to try it.
The food, beer and service was all top notch and all of the staff we spoke to was exceptional. After the match we somehow ended up speaking to the owner, Jeremy, and he seemed as if he really cared about his pub and the people and the staff.
I couldn't rate the experience any better and next time we're in Victoria we'll definitely come back.
Thanks for the experience

We have visited twice recently and both times we had great food and the service was good and a bit entertaining. The first visit we had nachos and the serving was big enough for four!
We definitely found fault, but chose to be entertained instead of upset.
The second time had us rolling our eyes as the waitress proceeded to drop dishes she was clearing on the patio behind my seat, with some food scraps landing under my seat. She wisely left it to clean up later and I didn’t move my chair much. Little chickadee size birds did a lot of the cleanup which I thought was kinda cute.
My only negative comment is that the wait staff and bus staff haven’t a clue how to wipe a table so it’s CLEAN for the next diners. After noticing how they cleaned our table, I watched the others clean’ other tables and was kinda aghast. Their cleaning cloths were not rinsed between tables and crumbs and messes from one table we’re transferred to the next. The same cloths seemed to be used over and over with a spritzer, but without ever rinsing the cloth out. Spray is great but it doesn’t clean off the cloth of all the debris and grime from the prior tables. Also the noise when clearing was something else! Crash bang went the cutlery and crockery into the bus pans on the patio. I used to train wait staff at the Officer’s Mess and I know that these chores can be accomplished with less disruption to your diners.
Anyway we will come back and see if things improve. The menu is good and the servers, while apparently inexperienced, are kinda sweet.
I didn't eat so i can't speak to the food but if the drinks are any indication the food is phenomenal. Roger the owner/manager is so friendly and charming. Amazing staff and did i mention the drinks were lovely? Definitely will return to enjoy the food next time I'm in town.
My favourite patio in Victoria! Great atmosphere to chill with friends and watch time go by. Great food and drinks. I like to share a plate of nachos and have a few beers or share a jug of sangria. Good tourists watching as well as it is across the street from the water. It is definitely my go to spot in the summer to just grab a bite and chill for a bit.
While it looks like a beautiful garden oasis with harbor views in Old Town Victoria, inside this place is a traditional sports bar.
Great place for late day drinks and appetizers or pub food.
We had a charming waitress who provided great service in this busy, popular place. All the waitresses were in lovely sundresses of their own choosing, surrounded by flowers on the perimeter and hanging in baskets from above. It definitely exuded a welcoming, charming ambiance.
We drank a local brew and the Cadillac Margarita ($16), enjoyed a tasty flatbread and enjoyed the water views while people-watching on this outdoor patio, nestled in the corner of a bustling location.
Friday's special is a flatbread and a beer for $25.
Lots of other options, including the $29 Mile High Nachos.
Beautiful setting and well worth a stop on a lovely day.
Amazing food, the buffalo wrap was amazing and sooo big! Excellent service. We were surprised with a tray of shots for our whole table. Such a lovely gesture! Beautiful outdoor patio area in the sunshine. Thank you!
Food was okay, ambience was amazing with a view of the ocean :) service was above and beyond!
Really nice food, great sea view. Fish was fantastic my wife said. Steak was dreamy. Couldn’t fault their service.
Host and service super friendly. Venue setting outdoors subject to crisp autumn winds, if you don't mind the constant peering of slow traffic but lovely views of the harbour. Meals took a while but were good, eat quick before the crisp cold takes effect. We trust summer is lovely.
I went with a friend and my dog this weekend, and every aspect was so wonderful! It was busy but the service was still amazing, a super dog friendly patio, every server was so sweet about getting us water or anything we needed for the pup and the atmosphere of others around us was also amazing! Couldn’t recommend it more! And the food was great.
