local bar
Corner drinking spot
A local bar is a neighborhood drinking establishment where regulars gather, distinct from destination bars or clubs that draw crowds from across a city.
The emphasis is on familiarity—patrons know the bartender, the bartender knows their drink: We stopped by the local bar after work.
The phrase can also mean a regional lawyers' association: She was admitted to the local bar last spring.
