An ideal switchup from the downtown scene
Rated this place:
Well, I’ve been back in TO for four weeks now, and after camping out at the bars downtown each Saturday I jumped at the chance to do something different and went check out this Greektown resto-lounge. While the Danforth’s not well-known as a party spot, The Local Company blends into the neighbourhood with an unassuming entrance that manages to conceal a spacious and lofty 3100 square-foot area split between the resto, lounge and VIP spaces (this setup really fills a niche in this location as most of the clubs/bars in Greektown are much smaller). With its slick loft-style design courtesy of Ines Risi (Kiwi Lounge), Local is a socialite’s dream with a great lounge atmosphere supplemented by a young clientele that looks the part (translation for guys: lots of chicks party here). While I can't say anything for the restaurant as I just went for drinks, as a nightclub/lounge Local fits the bill for an classy spot to meet people as well as a great location for a group of friends to rent a booth and party (Dj Frank Zhou spun house/hip hop/R&B tunes on Saturday and did a solid job livening up the place as the night went on).
