About The Local Tavern

Duck into Chevron Renaissance to trade the strip's sensory overload for a proper pint of Guinness and an unhurried corner. Regulars know this pocket for hefty pub classics—like a chicken parmi cut broad enough to dwarf the plate—and music kept at a conversational hum. Between tram connections or post-beach wind-downs, rack up a game of pool with a quick tap of your card. A bowl of loaded wedges hits the table hot while live acoustic sets keep the pace easy.

  • Tap-and-play pool: The table runs on a contactless card reader, saving you from hunting down coins at the bar.
  • Conversational acoustics: Sound levels stay dialed back so conversation doesn't have to battle loud speakers.
  • Properly poured pints: Poured to traditional standards alongside substantial plates like parmis and loaded wedges.

  • Conversational Acoustic Balance

    The tavern keeps music at a moderate level so you can catch up effortlessly without shouting over loud sound systems.

    Good volume, i find when the music is too loud for you to speak at other places, it just makes you want to find a different spot. This place is a good balance.
