We called in here as it’s the oldest bar in Seattle! Nirvana played here in the 80’s… we had food which was lovely ( huge portions) service was great
Oldie but goodie ! Great place to celebrate with friends . The jello shots are yummy 😋 😍
Such a cool place with a great vibe. Knowing the history of this place and what bands performed there made the visit very special. Good drinks, nice selections of t-shirts. Friendly staff.

Central Saloon is a historic Seattle staple, known for its great service, cool atmosphere, and live music scene. This dive bar, established in 1892, has a rich history, especially for grunge fans, with acts like Nirvana playing here. Visitors can bring their own food, but when the kitchen is open, the decent BBQ dishes are worth trying. The bar offers good drinks and a friendly staff, who are polite and professional.
It’s a popular spot before Sounders matches or for catching live music, with high-quality sound and a reasonable ticket price. The stage area is spacious and has solid sound, while the entryway can get a little crowded. The walls are adorned with concert posters and cool artwork featuring Seattle musicians, making it a must-see for music lovers. Drinks aren’t cheap, but cover prices can be as low as $5. The venue regularly hosts jam sessions and interesting acts, keeping the historic vibe alive. Central Saloon is well-located in Pioneer Square, ideal for a relaxed experience.
