Jonathan, Pedro and Luis helped us with a big move today, and we're very pleased with the results. Our cozily furnished two-bedroom apartment took basically a 9 to 5 shift for the whole move. Everything was done very professionally . We were mostly packed but had several items that needed to be boxed, wrapped, etc. - sure, it cost extra for those materials, but it was worth having it done by these guys. Above all, everyone was very pleasant and understanding, even by the end of the long day. Thanks, guys!

***This review is for take-out coffee. Clearly I can't know everything about the Local experience given that I only stopped in once for joe on my way to work, but I was so impressed by the customer service and the delicious espresso that I felt moved to star them.

My breve latte was perfect! I wish I'd gotten the name of the gentleman working the counter (it was Monday, 3/23, around 11:15...). He made an exquisite and simple drink for me, and unlike the majority of baristas I've encountered in L.A., he actually knew what a breve was! (I ordered a latte and asked for half and half in it, as I've given up using the word "breve" in this cream-phobic vegan city.)

I've worked in customer service for years. This guy should train people on how to give good attitude. He was positive and upbeat without creepin' - just a genuinely nice person trying to make sure I had a great experience.

Stiff drinks, a classy atmosphere, date-worthy mood lighting, fine service, great decor, beautifully kept restrooms. The Opera Alley location is cool -- just "off-the-strip" enough to make you feel hip for knowing where it is.

It's a small space with limited seating; I've only once or twice been able to comfortably sit at the bar. On Arts Alive (or most weekend nights) you'll probably be standing, but the packed-like-sardines thing just adds to the vibe.

Drinks aren't outrageously priced, yet you can go all out and get designer cocktails if you want. Lots of beer choices, too.

This place is fuckin' sexy. Good ambience and delicious pickle-backs (TRY IT). Karaoke was a revelation. Go here for a dirty, delicious LA experience.
