Officials with the Howard Hughes Corp. announced the opening of Local Bar in late December within the Lakeland Village Center in Bridgeland, 10615 Fry Road, Cypress.

Run by the same owners who opened Local Table this summer,
Local Bar offers a variety of craft cocktails, wine and 12 different types of beer. A bar menu features gourmet pizza, burgers and tacos as well as appetizers such as baked goat cheese, spinach and artichoke dip, and wood stone pizza.

“I want people to feel comfortable in a great atmosphere that is accompanied by service that is second-to-none," said Shervin Sharifi, Local Table and Local Bar co-founder, in a press release. "The food menu is meant to complement the relaxed nature that Local Bar will personify.”
