The Westside Local is a farm-to-table New American restaurant that has anchored Kansas City's Westside neighborhood since 2009, set in a historic exposed-brick, wood-beam space with a grapevine-covered beer garden. Known for seasonal, locally sourced cooking, it also keeps a small but thoughtful named non-alcoholic drink list that runs alongside its beer and wine program. The zero-proof menu, highlighted in a 2023 KCUR guide to KC's mocktail scene, includes house-built drinks like the Aesop (red bell pepper and mango shrub, chamoy, Hellfire Bitters, Perrier, lime) and the Mother Goose (passion fruit, carrot juice, coconut water, lime, salted toasted coconut), plus a dealcoholized sparkling option, the Secco, made with Germany's Fritz Müller alcohol-removed semi-sparkling white. Guests are encouraged to ask their server about the mocktail menu.
