Local-izing
Cold Beers and Fluffernutters in Southie

It’s that time of year, when all eyes are on Southie.

St. Paddy’s Day. The parade. Irishness.

And yet, through all the hoopla, you still want a local haunt to frequent, amongst neighborhood-y pals and a hint of yesteryear. And ideally, one with fried fluffernutters.

Take your handsome first look at Local 149, a new watering hole to get your Good Will Hunting on, softly opening to the public this Wednesday in Southie.

We know. You were just saying, “I really need a new Southie haunt for Berkshire Serrano Ham and Fried Chicken and Waffles in a neo-’60s setting... with vice grips on the tables.” And good news: you have it here.

So after you rip that tie off and grab your buddies for a midweek laugh fest over drafts of New England beers (Pretty Things, Smuttynose, Tuckerman), you’ll want to claim the diner-style short stools at the bar (makes it easier to consume the Pork Belly and Clam Chowder). Tip: go for the ones in front of the antique fire extinguishers turned draft taps (you’ve always loved history with a side of booze).

And for dessert: you and your new friends (think: paralegals) will retire to the working-fireplace lounge in the back for cupcakes and Fried Fluffernutters.

Any girl who shares fried fluff is a keeper.
