Around the corner from Dubtown Brewing in downtown Renton, you’ll find The Local 907.
The Local 907 is the quintessential neighborhood “pub and eatery.” It’s the kind of place that balances the gritty soul of a classic dive bar with a kitchen that punches way above its weight class. Whether you’re a Renton regular or just passing through, here is why “The Local” is a mandatory stop.
The Vibe: 21+ Community Soul
The Local 907 is strictly 21 and over, which helps it maintain that authentic “neighborhood local” atmosphere. It’s a space where Boeing and PACCAR workers, local artists, and sports fans all pull up a stool at the same bar. With pool tables, plenty of TVs for game day, and a staff that treats you like a regular on your first visit, it’s the ultimate “third place.”
The Local 907 Menu: Hearty Pub Staples
While many bars stick to frozen appetizers, The Local 907 is famous for its scratch-made comfort food.
1. The Burgers & Sandwiches
They use 100% Black Angus beef for their burgers, and their hand-cut fries are a local legend.
- The Local Burger: The flagship choice, featuring thick-cut peppered bacon and a signature bacon aioli.
- Fire Breather: Not for the faint of heart—this one is topped with fresh grilled jalapeños and house-made habanero hot sauce.
- The Reuben: Many locals swear this is the best in the city, featuring house-made pastrami, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing on grilled marble rye.
2. House Favorites
- Loco Moco: A nod to Hawaiian comfort food, featuring a hamburger patty on a bed of rice, topped with a fried egg, grilled pineapple, and savory gravy.
- Italian Beef: A slow-cooked, hearty sandwich that has become a staple for the lunch crowd.
- Dragon Wings: If you’re tired of standard buffalo, try these tossed in their house-made Asian dragon sauce.
The Bar: 18 Taps & Craft Cocktails
The Local 907 takes its “drink local” mission seriously. With 18 rotating draft beers, you’ll always find a healthy selection of Washington-grown craft beer favorites from Georgetown, Reuben’s, and beyond.
If you’re more of a cocktail person, don’t miss The Local Tea (Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka and Deep Eddy Peach Vodka) or their signature Nine 0 Seven 75 (Rainier Gin, lemon, and champagne).
Events & Happy Hour
The Local 907 is almost always buzzing with something to do:
- Happy Hour: Weekdays from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, featuring $1 off wells, drafts, and wine, plus discounted nachos and wings.
- MINGO: Keep an eye on their calendar for Music Bingo (Mingo), a high-energy alternative to traditional trivia.
- Weekend Brunch: If you missed out on Friday night, come back Saturday or Sunday morning for their Meat Lovers Scramble or the Monte Cristo dipped in egg batter and served with raspberry jam.
