“We teamed up with some friends that have a storefront just down from The Local to assist us in bringing my vision to life,” said Lalim. “They have been instrumental in filling in the space with unique pieces.” This month the crew hopes to launch their second floor renovation of the building—the Rendezvous Bar . With speakeasy vibes, Lalim describes the setting with blue walls accented with red velvet curtains. “It features cabaret-style seating and leather or velvet couches for a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere with views of downtown,” he said. There will be a tapas food menu, including charcuterie boards, and craft cocktails, beer, and wine. The Local also offers a private dining room, which can seat around 40 guests. Lalim says he hopes to host an event at least once a month in the space. “These will include multi-course wine dinners, beer or tequila tastings, and beer vs. wine dinners,” he said.
