The Local is a dream come true! Chanse worked in several restaurants in Vail, CO and Jackson Hole, WY. He did everything from washing dishes, running a dinner caravan on the side of the Snake River, & even managing! When he moved home to Fayetteville in 2015, Catherine and he starting dating and would be married in November of 2016. Chanse and Cat talked often of wanting to open their own place “some day” and that day came sooner than they expected. A beautiful, historic building became available on the downtown square. The Bartletts purchased the building in September of 2017. A few, very short weeks later – they opened their doors for the first time on November 10, 2017 for the Host of Christmas Past. As the infamous “they” say ‘The Rest is History!’ The Bartletts and their two sons (Walt & Jack) hope to host you very soon – “WHERE EVERYONE IS A LOCAL!”

We live here, we were raised here, and we’re raising our family here. Being “local” is a big part of who we are. We pride ourselves on using local ingredients as often as we can to make our food the best it can be. We work with local vendors as often as we can to provide you with the best that Fayetteville has to offer.

Our crew is made up of our family, friends, and neighbors. To some, Fayetteville may just be another “small town” but to us, it’s home. We hope that when you eat at the Cafe, you feel at home too!

The Local Cafe- Where Everyone is a Local!
