Tiki Week at Local 149

We continued the tropical theme during Tiki Week at one of our favorite restaurants in South Boston, Local 149. The cozy interior was adorned with tiki lights, wood-carved masks, and servers dressed in leis and florals that all meshed with the usual rainbow-hued vintage seltzer bottles and rustic chalkboard dining tables. Walking into the luau-decorated, bustling restaurant, we sat at the bar and ordered fruity drinks with colorful umbrellas, and sampled an array of Polynesian-themed entrees.

Marni’s choice: Suffering Bastard (Brandy, Gin, Lime Cordial, Ginger Beer)

Kara’s choice: My Oh Mai Tai (Jamaican Rum, Curaçao, and Pistachio Orgeat)

Just a T ride away in Southie, we were transported to a tropical paradise with the usual friendly service and unique and creative dishes!
