Our Story
The Local
At The Local, we believe that great food and good company are the heart of every community. Nestled in the heart of Muskego, we opened our doors in 2021 with a vision to create more than just a bar & grill—we wanted to build a gathering place where friends, families, and neighbors could connect, unwind, and enjoy the best of what a true hometown spot has to offer.
Whether you’re here for a casual night out, a celebratory dinner, or just to catch up over drinks, we’ve designed a space that feels as inviting as it is lively. With craft drinks, flavorful meals, and a welcoming atmosphere, The Local is a place where good times and great flavors come together.
A True Neighborhood Spot
The Local isn’t just a bar & grill—it’s a place where people gather to unwind, celebrate, and enjoy the little things. Whether you’re stopping by for our signature pizzas or grabbing a cold beer after work, every visit should feel like a familiar and comfortable experience.
Our menu is packed with elevated pub fare, from Wisconsin classics to creative twists on comfort food favorites. Pair your meal with a rotating selection of local craft beers, expertly mixed cocktails, or a wine from our well-stocked bar.
