Review of Inwood Local(Inwood NY)

Hello all I hope everyone enjoyed the Inguaral Blmm report week. I decided to Go uptown for this weeks review past the new happening areas right into Inwood. I see Harlem's new role as hotspot and go to destination as a good thing in that the outskirts will now have some of the more interesting hangs. I seen this before Williamsburg begat bushwick park slop begat south slope and on and on. This is true of Harlem as well as Inwood is starting to shake its roots as dive bar city(much much more on this in later posts) and getting some hip spots of its own. One spot in particular is Inwood local a beer and wine bar(mostly due to zoning laws i hear) which is pretty cool. I went there before and had a blast so I figured why not go back and run it thru its paces. First off the beer selection is good but not good enough if there is no liquor. Its not a huge gripe but if I hated beer or wine this place would have 0 interest to me. With that aside the beer selection they do have is pretty good and they do a great job offering based on tastes and food so the service is a major plus. I also enjoyed the music they played very eclectic I heard Gerry Rafferty and MF Doom all in a 15 window which is my kind of mix. The food was good like real good in terms of price being reasonable and flavor. I also enjoyed the unassuming decorations in there it felt very downtown bistro/cafe which makes for a great meet up spot or second or more date(too loud for a first date). There is a backyard area but the weather prohibited me from partaking but I am pretty sure that would be a great look come spring/summer. Would I go back yes 100% but only if I am in the area it is not travel worth past 15 blocks based on the lack of liquor and few options other then that(other then the legion of real deal dive bars). I would say if you are north of 145th and want to try out a new area you can do no wrong checking out Inwood Local. Inwood Local 4957 Broadway, New York, NY 10034 (212) 544-8900
