About This Pub
Ah, Central Bar – it's one of those unassuming places in Ashington that you might stumble upon and end up having a cracking time, or at least that's what a few folks have shared. From the reviews, the staff and owner really stand out as the heart of the place, making everything feel welcoming and personal, like chatting with old friends over a drink. There's this fun, lively energy that's spot on for a night out, and if you're into that '70s nostalgia, like belting out tunes reminiscent of Alice Cooper, it'll hit the spot just right. On the flip side, though, it sounds like the entertainment options could do with a refresh – one person was disappointed that there wasn't much in the way of heavier music, which might leave some feeling a bit underwhelmed. Plus, with the hours being a bit all over the place and not much activity online lately, it might not be the most dependable choice for a spontaneous visit. All in all, if you're local and fancy a pint in a spot with real character, give it a go, but keep your expectations balanced – it's got charm, but it's not without its quirks.
