| - I've been to The Central at least a dozen times over the past year to see a friend's shows and I've officially had enough of the place. I'll start with an abridged list of food "incidents" I have been served or been witness to.
1. Boneless chicken wings that resemble anemic, greasier popcorn chicken.
2. Poutine with gravy so pale and watery that it soaked the burger bun it was served next to.
3. Chicken wings that are still frozen on the inside.
4. A drill bit in side french fries. Yes, a drill bit. I have no idea what series of health and safety violations had to occur for a drill bit to end up in food.
Most of the time the place is understaffed, but sometimes they're just incompetent instead. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter because I'm still waiting half an hour at the bar to get a pitcher for my table.
The prices are too high for what you get in the service and decor departments, the bathroom makes it impossible for one person to get into the stall while someone else is washing their hands, the beer tastes funny because they don't wash their lines enough, and it's located a stone's throw from half a dozen superior bars. God, I hate The Central.
If you want cheap drinks, go to The Green Room, The Crown and Tiger or Toby's. If you want a casual atmosphere but with decent service, go to Nirvana. If you want good beer and good food, go to The Victory Cafe. Just take it from me: Don't go to The Central.
