text: I really wanted to like the Local Tavern, I really really did. The setting looks fantastic and the beer selection is always a great assortment. However, the prices are outrageous and there NEVER seems to be a special available. Even worse, the bartenders have always been lackluster and an irritable crowd. The coup de grace came this weekend when they decided to charge a bigger tip to my card than the one I had written. Something tells me I won't miss the 4.50 beers much.....
