"Billed as the city’s “oldest saloon,” this historic bar hosted Nirvana’s first-ever Seattle show, as well as other grunge greats. Live music is still the Central’s primary appeal, but it feels like a normal neighborhood bar otherwise, creaky front door and all. Get comfortable at the main bar while working through a draft and an order of decent garlic cheese curds. Regulars with earbuds in to avoid chatty tourists" - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
