Is it a capital nickname?

Question:I know personal nicknames or epithets or capitalized - Big Mama Thornton. So are organizations' nicknames - IBM as Big Blue.

If I said, "Let's go down to the tavern for a few." Then changed that to: "Let's go down to the Local for a few." Is it Local or local? Does the rule still apply to this form of noun?

Answers:
if "local" is the name of a place - yes it should be capitalized.
if not - no.
Local isn't a nickname, so it is not a proper noun, so no capitalization is needed.
Local is not a pronoun so it is not capitalised.
