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.

This place starts to fill up around 3:00pm in Saturday and is a popular neighborhood venue for socializing and watching sports programs. Friendly bar

I have been here many times through the years and it does not seem to change.

Great quick service! Came here for a drink with my Dad for Father's Day, he used to come here back in the 80s and it was his favorite bar.

We had an amazing time sipping on a few Rainiers and reminiscing about the incredible old bands that once performed here.
