Local Craft Food & Drink

OUR STORY

The Local Craft Food and Drink opened its doors in Coral Gables, Florida in April of 2011. The Restaurant was born out of the passion for craft beer shared by its original owners, Jose, Mauricio and Sam. They had a vision for a true "gastropub" focusing on introducing its patrons to the best craft beers, craft spirits and wonderful food by developing a chef driven menu. They turned to Chef Alberto Cabrera to develop the original menu which set the restaurant on its course. Over the years the Local has been home to some of South Florida's top chefs, some while they were emerging talents. Many went on to open their own restaurants in South Florida. The spirits and beer program has also been a great source of talent for the greater beer and cocktail community. Many of Miami's top local bar tenders began their careers or at one point were part of the beverage team at The Local.

Today, under the leadership of Carmen Mallea, the restaurant has become a staple in Coral Gables and has been regularly recognized as a top restaurant in Greater Miami. It continues to provide wonderful food offerings and great craft beer and spirits. Its menu is continually changing and evolving, ensuring that The Local's growing fan base is always enjoying a fresh and innovative experience when they visit the restaurant.

We look forward to having you visit us and becoming a part of our Local family!
