Sincere hang out

by pbernard9

Dropped in here for a beer. Three piece combo of baby-boomers played reasonable Floyd and Free (I think the drummer was my dentist).

Decent amount of community tables and ample bar. There is no pretense here - interesting crowd.

• Pros: Local music, decent brews, no pretense
• Cons: Not much

Don't make the neighbor unhappy !

by mccrissy

The Central is a Great Place! The music on Wednesdays and Sundays draws a wonderful cross section of people from bikers to computer nerds. There is a laidback feeling that gets busted everytime the hairdresser next door comes over. Her fake smile and phony 'I love my neighborhood bar' attitude is destroyed when you realize she activly fought the bar getting a hard liquor license, offered the landlord extra money to kick out the Central so she could get the space and has her friends call in noise complaints that forced the Central to make all sorts of extra efforts to satisfy the local gestapo.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL HOLE-IN-THE-WALL (but be careful of bleached blonds bearing gifts

• Pros: a wonderful thumbs up
• Cons: the neighbor
