Does firm culture carry across offices?

This is probably a dumb question but is it fairly common for ABC Law Firm in NY to have a completely different culture vibe from ABC Law Firm in DC from ABC Law Firm in SF? Or do certain traits of a firm permeate in every city?

Like everything else, it depends ....
There are several factors to consider
1) Was the office started by homegrown partners/lawyers?
2) Was the office the result of a merger/lateral hires?
3) How much time has passed since the merger/lateral hires?
4) Have there been significant numbers of mergers/lateral hires elsewhere in the firm?
5) Does the law firm promote to partner more laterals or more homegrown people?
6) Geographic differences?
