The Central Tavern in Kirkland is not located on Central Way. It is located on Kirkland Ave. This place is by far the best place in town to get a pint and hang out. This is corroborated by all the locals you see in the place. Shoobies don't really know where it is, and can't seem to find it.
The Central Tavern has the most affordable alcohol in Down Town Kirkland, which means if they can sell alcohol for that price, everyone in Kirkland can charge the same prices. My conclusions are that the owners of the central are the only honest bar owners in town.
Pair this with the Bartenders and this place works great. The bartenders at the Central (there are only two) are so on point that even though the place is packed you will get you your drink (which is stiff) before there is condensation on the glass.
It is so chill you can find the mayor of Kirkland in their once in awhile having drinks and playing pool. For that matter he isn't very good, last time I saw him in there I think he scratched on an easy 8-ball shot. He might have been drunk, who knows.
My only gripe is that the central is pretty small so it can be hard to really stretch your legs on a Friday night. Either way it is still a blast, and a great place to chill any night. It is by far the best place for a pint in Kirkland.
Note: Shoobies are any visitors from out of town, someone who is not a local.

Just a few pointers about the Central. There are actually four bartenders. Chris, Jen, Sandi, and Nicole and Ryan also fills in with bartending and sorting out the sound system on music nights. Add the owner
Diane who works Monday and Tuesday days, and you have a full complement of six.
And I think it is an ex mayor of Kirkland who plays pool and not the current mayor.
Still a great watering hole at great prices.
thatscotsloke, Sounds like you're missing the point. :)
