A tiny SoHo beer-and-wine bar where seats turn over fast enough that a short wait for a spot is the norm, per The Infatuation.

The Infatuation's SoHo/Nolita bars guide describes Local as a 'tiny space,' and notes that 'a lot of people seem to drop in for a drink on the way to somewhere else, so if there's nowhere to sit, something will probably open up if you wait a little while.' That framing points to quick turnover rather than a long, defined line.
The guide doesn't mention a formal waitlist or door policy — it's presented as a casual drop-in spot with a counter, a quieter back room, a window nook, and outdoor seating to spread out demand across the small footprint.
