The Local Bootlegging Co. (Formerly 302 The Local)

We are in our fifties and were hopping around to several happy hours when we stopped here. Pretty cool vibe, but a little too dark for us, maybe that is the speakeasy atmosphere...Prices are a bit high for our taste. Our server Erycca was excellent, attentive to our needs but not bothersome. The Bavarian Pretzel Sticks were also excellent. The Redemption Old Fashioned was tasty, but the one large ice cube in the drink seemed to take up most of the glass. Nice place, just not our favorite.

Great meal! Great Service! Went for a lunch with a group and this place nailed it. Appetizers of pork belly Korean style was just loved by all. Main courses also all tasted great. I had shrimp tacos that had great flavor, and others had hot dogs that popped with yummyness!!! Oh, the drinks also are great. The Jail bird was the top favorite, but the on tap sour also placed close to the top.

First time trying this place. When we first walked in, it was steady then stared to get packed. Mike, who was the only server at the time was amazing and charismatic. I couldn't catch the food runner name (in which it seems to be the manager that had to stepped in due to short staff), she was professional, attentive and pleasant. The owner who was hosting was very professional. Definitely will come back.

The food here is amazing. They are known for their smashburgers, which were great, but their other dishes were also incredible. I had the Dream Wiener. I was pleasantly surprised at the deliciousness of the combination of the homemade sauerkraut with the juicy beef hot dog. The service was very friendly. My only issue was that they never communicated that there was a special discount on smashburgers on the day we ate here, and we were charged full price. My recommendation is simple. Communicate upfront if you are running a special.

Everything about this place is five stars. My husband and I happened to fall upon it and what a find! Intimate and cozy yet welcoming and casual. Our bartender James was patient as my husband inquired about multiple bourbons! The pork belly appetizer was fantastic as were our smash burgers. Can’t wait to return with Friends!
