Let's raise a glass to the good old days - because around here they never really went anywhere. We're your local tavern, owned and operated right here in Lafayette, Indiana. We're here to give all of our hard working neighbors the food, drink, and relaxation they need - no frills, no fuss. Just come by, bring your friends, and be yourself. And yes - The Local Bar is still smoke friendly. The Local Bar is owned by Doug Curry. Doug and his parents, Jack and Sandy, took over The Local Bar in January of 1985. Doug bought them out in June of 1994 and is now the proud owner of The Local Bar as you know and love it today. The Local Bar accepts credit cards and has an ATM. We are also now selling Indiana Hoosier Lotto tickets. Breakfast 2014-05-13
