Tbh— I found about Locals Only from a Reel. Reel said: Happy Hour from 5–7pm. 50% OFF Wine Bottles & Oysters? SIGN ME UP. However— nobody told me I’d be meeting Eric (the GM) and Robbie (stud tender). These peeps will treat you like family from the moment you’ve met them. What a crew. Sheesh. What a wonderful place and even better service. If you’re reading this. Come to Locals Only and you won’t regret it. Fantastic place, even better energy. Thank me later.

First time attending Fajita Monday! Was not disappointed... service was excellent! Sizzle was unreal. Julian & Rishi made sure we were always attended to. If you get there between 5-7 take advantage of the buck-a-shuck oyster special, paired with half price bottle of Prosecco! Cheers 🥂

My friend and I have been wanting to check out Fajita night on Monday for so long. Overall one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a bar in a while. I believe our servers names were Julian and Rishi, very attentive always checked up on us. The fajitas were unreal came to the table sizzling! Will definitely come back! To try the rest of the food menu 🤤. Kudos to the Locals Only team for their great hospitality!

I had an exceptional experience at Locals Only a cool vibey bar thanks to Luca, their talented bartender. From the moment I walked in, we were greeted immediately making us feel at home. His expertise in crafting cocktails is unparalleled, and each drink he prepared was a masterpiece of flavors and creativity. The ambiance of Locals Only is cozy and inviting, perfect for both casual evenings and special occasions. The menu offers a delightful variety of dishes, ranging from small plates to hearty mains. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or simply looking to unwind after a long day, Luca's attentive service and genuine passion for mixology make every visit memorable. The attention to detail in both the drinks and the food reflects the dedication of Locals Only’s team to providing a top-notch interactive experience. Thank you, Luca and team, for an unforgettable evening of great drinks, delicious food, and excellent hospitality!

This place was INCREDIBLE!! My girls and I came here for some drinks and a chill vibe and what we got exceeded our expectations. The food was phenomenal and the service was even better. Our server Steph absolutely KILLED IT. She honestly made our night. If you are on king west and looking for good food, a great vibe and excellent service. Go to Locals Only.

Got in town last Friday and wanted to hit up a happy hour. Locals Only caught my attention for their Buck-a-Shuck oysters that they serve during their HH from 5-7pm. Although the oysters were on the smaller end, they were a perfect starter. They were fresh and the best I’ve had in a while. They are served with lemon, their house mignonette sauce, house hot sauce (WARNING❗️ you don’t need a lot of it. A little goes a long way), and shaved horseradish. We order 2 dozens they were so good! I also ordered their passion fruit mezcalita. I highly recommend this cocktail! It was superb and the perfect summer drink. I recommend this spot as a starter to the beginning of your night. Perfect for a date night out, girls night out an or night out with friends kind of spot. Their HH also includes 1/2 bottle of wine or Prosecco. For 2 drinks and 2 dozen oysters, our bill came to about $37 cad which is about $28 usd. The vibe at this place was cool. My only con was that service was slow. This was a great start to our night and I’ll be sure to visit this little gem again next time I’m in Toronto.
