We are always eager to share our fondness of quality driven products and we stay true t

All of the design elements you see at Local are courtesy of the amazing Alice Cottrell, of Alice Cottrell Interior Design. One of our favorite elements is the Rex Ray prints that you see at every booth. When we opened 15 years ago, artist Rex Ray was extremely popular and in high demand. Designer Alice Cottrell reached out to Rex and asked if he’d make custom pieces for Local, as most of his prints were really big, and to our delight, he agreed to do it! He even hosted a private dinner at Local shortly after. Thank you, Alice and Bentley Tibbs for making our restaurant look timeless and beautiful!
