We were there last night. The place was pretty busy, but it seemed everyone was being served and food was coming out in a timely fashion. We had an awesome waitress (Ashley), and the food was really great (we both had burgers, waffle fries, and onion rings). The atmosphere was buzzing, and was really impressed with the remodel and cleanliness! If you have been to this bar prior to it being "The Local 97", I promise this is a whole new experience....give it a try...make your own judgement...we will definitely be returning!
I went there last night. The food and staff were both great! It's hard to believe this used to be Mike's pizza! The place is gorgeous inside!!!
I have been in twice, both times sat at the bar. The food was very good, especially the pizza and French fries. The bartenders were very attentive and friendly. Most importantly is they have fresh brewed iced tea!! The Local will definitely be a new hangout place for us.
Our entire staff ordered today for lunch and it was amazing!! It was a pick up order and was done in good timing. We had burgers, fries, honey mustard chicken breast, Italian sub , and split a pizza to try it. We all loved it and I'm ordering pizza tonight for dinner because it was that amazing!!! Must try!!!
Excellent food and wonderful friendly service!! Highly recommend for a family dinner or a late-night cocktail
Beautiful remodel of the old “Mike’s”. Nice menu selection, with the classic pizza & subs everyone loved. Reasonably priced. GREAT craft beer selection on draft, including Brew Dog’s Elvis Juice! We WILL be back.
Awesome staff, great food, amazing atmosphere! The remodel is very cool, and keeping some of the old tables is a great touch! Well done...we'll be back!
First visit to the Local97, and quite impressed. Fully remodeled and very nice from the dining area to the bathrooms. Service was excellent, as the servers all helped each other with clearing tables etc., and really good service from the girl that waited on us. We tried a couple appetizers, and then dinner. All the food was served hot, and all was delicious. I had the drummies, they were huge, and nice and crispy on the outside, but soft and tender on the inside. My wife had the hamburger, and said it was delicious! Five stars and a great start to The Local 97.
The food is excellent! The staff is polite and efficient, and the owner is an all around great guy!
Pizza was delicious; we had pepperoni and white pizza....great service too!! The place looks amazing!!!
It seems like you can't go wrong with anything you order here. Everything was well prepared. The servers always seem friendly and on top of things. You really can't go wrong with this place.

Another update! Stopped for dinner and a drink, and I was not disappointed! Great food and great service like normal!
Update! Still one of the best spots in Lexington to get a drink or food!
It's clean! Great food with the daily specials changing on a regular basis. I try to eat here at least once a week! The staff is great and always friendly! I would recommend to anyone that is local or just passing through. Great place to eat and drink at.
Demi was legitimately the best bartender I have ever been served by in my life. Her beer and cocktail recommendations were out of this world. I will gladly come back all the time due to her exceptional service.
This is actually a a very chill bar. Nothing crazy, no fights. Good appetizers really good bartender Jimmy. This is just a solid safe place to go if you want some drinks and no trouble.
Bloody Mary bar was good. The biscuits and gravy were good and cheap.
Food was great everything looked fresh and tasted wonderful .
I haven't eaten bread in at least 4 1/2 years but I ate a whole pizza it was super thin and fresh.
Everyone was friendly.
They call them jumbo wings! They are actually chicken legs and they are delicious! Come hungry
