About Central Hotel

Central Hotel is now primarily a bar that offers a rustic and nostalgic atmosphere, making it a popular spot in Madison, IN. The bar is known for its lively environment, especially on weekends when it can get busy, so patience is helpful. The bartenders, like Elexis, are praised for making fantastic custom drinks, and service is generally good when they have what customers order. Staff is always friendly, and food is always good. The bar features a lively and fun atmosphere with friendly people, perfect for listening to music and enjoying drinks until closing time. Fun little game room, with multiple pool tables and dart boards, is a plus. The bar is the only one in town that allows smoking inside, so guests who do not like that may prefer other places. Some of the rough and tough crowd can show up on late nights and occasionally cause a ruckus. The venue is also recognized as one of Madison's downtown highlights and nightclubs, with outside murals and tourist attractions adding to its charm. However, the building has some issues, as it is no longer used as a hotel, and the rooms have been reported to have mice and roaches, with some describing the place more like cheap apartments. Despite these problems, the bar remains a decent place to hang out and have a good time. Visitors who stop by say the atmosphere is awesome and highly recommend it.

I find it unacceptable that you people feel the need to slam a bar or bartender based on GOSSIP from the rumor mill that you feel you need to spread, or throwing a tantrum about what kind of seltzer you have access to! If they inform you that you are gonna get what they grab, as a patron I'm gonna assume there is a reason for it instead of kicking into Karen mode and going on about who should do what job just because YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR WAY!! That's childish and super petty! If...read full review
Can be a fun place to grab a drink on a late night or while enjoying your weekend. Staff is always friendly, food is always good, but some of the 'rough and tough crowd' seem to end up in there on late nights and occasionally cause a ruckus.
Fun little game room, multiple pool tables and dart boards are a plus. It is the only bar in town that allows smoking inside so if you're not okay with that you might try elsewhere. Super fun place but might not be for everyone
Staff is awesome
