★ 4.2 / 5 (3351 reviews)

Nestled in Seattle's vibrant SoDo district, this historic venue is a cherished hub of live music and delicious drinks, steeped in the legacy of iconic bands like Nirvana and Alice in Chains. While its decor evokes a nostalgic charm reminiscent of the '80s grunge era, guests relish the attentive bartenders and reasonable prices. The atmosphere, tinged with a hint of mustiness, offers a relaxed setting for concerts and casual dining. Featuring house-made pickles and a new BBQ menu, this Seattle institution invites both locals and visitors to enjoy its unique blend of history and lively entertainment.

Was Scott Chapman at Central a mag?
It was my second time visiting here from Moscow, Idaho to see Jeff Crosby and it was wonderful. Though I grew up in Edmonds, I missed the Central’s grunge heyday, but it’s such a fun place. I love the history of it for starters but the Jeff Crosby shows have been intimate with the right volume level and room to move around easily. The staff there was friendly and gave us great service. Had little trouble finding park... View all feedback.

What Robert Salazar dislikes about Central:
Didn’t eat here but tried. Walked into their open doors at 11:26 AM for lunch. Some guy shouted at me that they were closed. I said, your hours online say you open at 11 AM? Guy says well that’s wrong, ushered me out and locked the door behind me. Ok, that feels like I don’t want to come back now, thanks, D. View all feedback.
