I attended a tour and the taste of San Francisco event at local spot called " Local". As their website mentions they have a wine program from California to Portugal. I thought it was all about the food here but it was a drink tasting event of the different San Francisco neighborhoods so called signature drinks. This taste tour of San Francisco was a private event with an open bar. I had to go through different San Francisco districts from zip code to Sip code ( zip code). Let's start with the food since I left another open bar because they ran out of food. Here they had cocktail shrimps and it was ready for the dipping with traditional San Francisco cocktail sauce which you would get at any crab stand at the Pier. They had Fisherman Wharf style pizza ( it is a thing). Then they had the Mission District Style Burrito (had to represent ). Then the North Beach cannoli for dessert. The vibe was right with music pumping out the speakers. As the drinks were started to flow. First they had a wine tasting room but I was getting first class personal service by ordering the drinks on my request. Although I was drinking Pinot Noir most of the time , I did participate on the taste of San Francisco menu. First there was Nob Hill and they had my classic " Old Fashion" with bourbon, bitters and simple syrup. I then headed to North Beach the Local Spritz Aperol, vodka, lemon and sparkling wine (for the Summertime). Then headed towards the FiDi ( Financial District) and had the "Old Cuban" with Rum , mint, lime and bitters. Then circled back to repeat again with the " Old Fashion ". I will always be down for San Francisco and will always be an advocate and very vocal To enjoy the city and county of San Francisco as visitor or a local and go on taste tour at Local

Good food and fantastic service. I think Local Kitchen is a great location and vibe for a team dinner, happy hour, or just a casual, post-work meal. My friends ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese and Shrimp Penne Alla Vodka, and they both enjoyed their dishes. I ordered the Garden Party Pizza after reading all the great reviews. It was very yummy and also quite large! The crust was your classic American style, neither thin nor super thick and dense. It was fluffy and crisp on the outside, which is always great. I enjoyed all the vegetables as toppings, because not only was there a good variety of colors and flavors, but I was also able to convince myself that it was kinda like eating a salad! While the food was enjoyable, the main reason I am rating this spot so highly is the service. I don't recall their names now, but all the staff were very kind and accommodating. There were a couple mix-ups with my pizza at first (it was a new cook's first day, he did great!!), and they kindly re-did things and provided a generous discount for the inconvenience, which I was not expecting. Good service is always a huge plus for me. All in all, I would recommend checking out Local Kitchen for solid American food in Rincon Hill!

I really like this place Great vibes inside, and the food has always been great. I've had pizza, bolognese pasta, and others. All high quality Good service too. Not sure why avg rating here is less than 4. Feels like it should be between 4-4.5 somewhere Maybe a little pricey but fair for the neighborhood

Great happy hour with lots of food options. Meatballs, truffle fries and pizzas are delicious. Plus, great cocktails and the cheapest (good) draft beers I've seen in ages.
