The Local Minneapolis is a statement in Irish craftsmanship and a gorgeous location for your next big event!

Designed and built in Ireland, the majority of our pub was shipped across the ocean and assembled onsite. Separated by large wood finishes and a bar that runs down the center of our establishment, the space naturally supports intimate group conversations while celebrating within a larger communal group. A win-win for big group events!
