We had a delicious and classy evening last night @ The Local. Theo & Adam showed off a few new drinks, and we got to try out a great selection of their appetizers. They also had nothing but great things to say about cVillain, probably because we’ve been fans of theirs since the early days. One lucky commenter will also win a pair of entrées on the house.
We are taking back Belmont again (who knew we lost it?), with our third weekly Club Villain event tonight, hosted by The Local. Theo & Adam have graciously put together some great food and drink choices, and we are looking forward to seeing everyone out and about to enjoy the evening @ 9:00PM.

I was privy to a houseguest this weekend, he a U.Va. alumnus who hasn’t spent much time in Charlottesville since being graduated in 2003. We shall call him Cristóbal.
Opportunity! I bum-rushed him with as much cVillainy as his senses—and his liver—could handle. Below is our hitlist from the weekend. »Read More
Judging by the popularity of Charlottesville and Belmont’s new little jewel, The Local, many of you have already eaten there and like it. We’ve asked you what you think of The Local and published The Local’s Menu.
We’ve visited The Local several times in recent weeks and now it’s time for a formal review. If you peruse the menu, you will find that The Local has a very reasonably priced menu. It hits that $13 to $16 entre range that has driven a similar success to restaurants like Continental Divide.
D/R sends this in… and also lets you folks know that there is indeed a soft opening tonight at The Local, but the official opening is this Thursday. The menu looks awesome. Click below to see the whole menu. I’m loving it.
Our informative little birdie sends in some more juice.
We heard The Local is doing a soft opening tonight.
Can anyone confirm? Let us know if you go by!
Two0Four sends in a rumor for you foodies:
Belmont BBQ is opening up at least two new locations, one in Waynesboro, and one on 29 north, perhaps by the mens warehouse, I vote for forest lakes
The new mystery bar and restaurant next to CRUSH is hiring. Musical chairs anyone?
I do know something about The Local and Belmont BBQ’s plans after the break:
