The brunch menu was disappointing. The salmon bagel came cold, like it was just taken from the fridge, the salad seemed to rest in the same fridge for a few days. The burgers were pretty plain and tasteless.

Stopped by here while attending a conference at the convention center. This location is a short Uber ride away from the primary convention center hotels, but well worth the travel. We stopped in on Valentine's Day and weren't sure how busy it would be, but apparently we arrived early enough to be at the crowds. The atmosphere was upscale corner bar. It was not pretentious at all, and not so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. The food was good, as was the service.

I've been to Local 149 three times: for brunch, dinner, and post-dinner drinks and snacks. The black bean burger is great as are the snacks/apps and drink choices. I was disappointed today when I went to brunch because my corned beef hash was 100% not corned beef hash... it was huge chunks of corned beef (at least one inch cubed per chunk) and pieces of either red potato or fingerling potato that were quartered. The ratio per bite was totally off and these huge pieces of potato and beef didn't create an absorbent base for the eggs. I picked at it for a bit and eventually gave up. High quality just not what I wanted. The server was very kind and offered to take it off the bill. In summary: the food is good but don't order the corned beef hash if you actually want diner style small pieces.

Great service for Sunday brunch. Absolutely loved the girl dinner drink! The chicken nachos were a great starter and we both loved our meals. Very filling taking half home for lunch!

Food quality is literally worse than fast food. Their burger was clearly right out of the freezer, tough and nasty. Literally Wendy's has a fresher patty. Their buff chip was fire but the chips were f-ing stale. I need my 2nd root canal after chompin on them. Vibes were good but they gotta get better food man. I want this place to succeed but like cmon the quality of food needs to be better than fast food (or at least as good)

Love this place. Great atmosphere. Love the seats around the bar. Service was excellent. Portions large. Casual, relaxing and comfortable. Nice to have something closer to the water vs going to Broadway.

Foodies beware! Cute local place with great bar and tvs. Nice staff and servers. Good drinks. The quality of the food was not good. Arugula salad had no bacon, no apple, and swimming in dressing. Small food menu with nothing comforting about it. Place to go get drinks. Fast food chain food is better.

Wonderful brunch menu.

Great atmosphere, simple but tasty menu, but the service is pretty slow. It was quick to get a table but once we were seated our waitress seemed to do everything but take our order or give us our check. It was a slow night as well... maybe she was having a hard day, who knows!

We learned from our waitress that the $1 oyster special M-F 4-6pm is no longer active, without further explanation. This is despite being advertised on their website & the greasy menu actively circulating to guests. Standard bar menu food. Truffle short rib & butternut squash flatbreads were good. Would pass on the popcorn chicken (accompanied by unusual dipping sauce with a lot of vinegar?). The establishment had plenty of open tables Friday evening, so staff did accommodate a last minute change in number of guests.
Great little southie pub, Guinness pour was perfect & buff chix dip highly recommend!

Breakfast tacos and mac and cheese were both delicious. The atmosphere is lovely.
Joy Howell
Both the mac and cheese and the breakfast tacos were delectable.

Drinks are good but haven’t had a good experience with brunch food yet. When asked how it was, we said ok except for the corn beef hash was cubed and all fat for both of us and the waitress just said “ok sounds good”. Maybe others have better luck.

The bartenders were really rude and I could hear them openly making fun of patrons. Sorry we don’t all meet your aesthetic requirements for service.
