I am worried about what is going to replace it. Better the devil you know and good luck to the staff.

Way too many bars have displaced our neighborhood essentials.

(From staff!) Was only there once and always stung when I walked by after that. Must've been in 2010, or so. Hopefully not a comment on the entire place, but who knows.

Greatly missed. The only memories I have of Central Bar (actually didn't know that was its name) is walking through the smokers blocking the sidewalk and having pity for its upstairs neighbors.hywel ddahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392409950690944666noreply@blogger.com
