We look forward to seeing you again at The Local!

In March of 2018, the historic Mike’s Pizza was totally renovated and The Local @97 was born. Its seems everyone has a story or a memory about Mike’s Pizza so we decided to clean up and keep some of the legendary tables and preserved the history carved in them. We also knew we had to keep the Mike’s Pizza recipe and its become an instant favorite on our menu.

We’re a home grown bar whose goal is to make everyone feel like a LOCAL! Whether your in Lexington for a race at the nearby Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, staying the night in a hotel along I-71, attending a Bowling event at next door Lex Lanes or just making your first visit to us, we know you will enjoy great food and drinks in a clean and family friendly atmosphere.

We feature an American style menu including specialty pizzas and daily specials for lunch and dinner. Saturday and Sundays our bloody mary bar is open till 1pm. We rotate a selection of craft beers on tap and carry many varieties of beer, wine, and liquor. Our outdoor patio and tv’s and stage is a hit throughout the year.

Each weekend we serve breakfast from 7am to 10:30am and have a build your own Bloody Mary Bar from 7am – 1pm, with all of the best fixings including shrimp and bacon.
