LAKE WORTH BEACH, FL — Locals Only Neighborhood Bar is preparing to open in early January at 1230 N Dixie Hwy, Lake Worth Beach, FL 33460, owner Eric Sessions told Business Debut.

The new opening expands his existing Locals Only presence in downtown West Palm Beach. The management team includes Michael Hadidis and Christian Meneses at the helm.

What to Expect

The concept centers on a neighborhood-style sports bar featuring TVs throughout the space, pool tables, pub poker nights, trivia, and a rotating specialty cocktail menu designed with the help of Sessions’ flair bartenders from another venue.

The interior includes a large bar with seating for roughly 20 guests, several plush booths, high-top tables, whiskey-barrel-style seating, and room for small music events or private gatherings. A jukebox and full sound system add to the entertainment setup.

While the bar does not have a full kitchen, it will serve simple bar bites such as hot dogs and nachos. The team also plans to host rotating food trucks (especially on weekends and game days) including well-known operators such as Tacos Al Parbon and McCrae’s Barbecue.

Sessions said the goal is to create “a friendly neighborhood bar, sports themed… something new and fresh” for Lake Worth Beach, built around affordability and approachability for the local community.

“We’re going to try to have a little mix of everything, just make it a fun atmosphere where people can come in and have an affordable cocktail and a good experience,” he told Business Debut.

Expansion Plans

Sessions also confirmed he is developing a second concept, Whiskey Tango Bar & Grill, a full-service restaurant and bar opening in West Palm Beach, FL, targeting 2026. The project is in early build-out and will feature a full kitchen and larger footprint.
