The Hub Bar & Grill

The Hub is by far the best bar in Centralia.  If you're looking for greasy bar food and cheap drinks, this is your place. Looking to get get shitty drunk?  The Hub is perfect for that too! The staff is super friendly and the service is fast.  Personally, my favorite nights are during the week, the bar is empty you can find yourself in weird conversations with either the bartender or one of the patrons. The jukebox is great too; it's a lot of classic rock mixed with some obscurity. Oh yes and a little bit of Frank Sinatra as well! This place isn't bad for groups; however, the bar is a bit small so it does get crowded on the weekends. The music on weekends gets cranked up to an unbearable volume that ruins your ability to hold a conversation with anyone.   The scene you get on the weekends can usually kill the great vibe.  The crowd consist's mostly of rednecks from around Lewis County, coming to the "big city" to get crazy drunk and act super obnoxious.  Don't come to The Hub if women are on your mind,  as they are simply nonexistent in Centralia. Overall, great chill bar, I always make an attempt to visit when I'm in town.

I have been a frequent customer of The Hub for several years. The service I have received there has always been great. I am confused by the review of this establishment by a fellow yelper who claims they were triple charged for drinks and food. Not only am I not sure how this could happen (as it seems to be such a gross discrepancy) I don't understand how someone could just accept a bill with such a supposed overcharge and sign for it anyway. To my knowledge, the bartenders at The Hub have always been quick to remedy any mistakes made to food or drink orders. Although I have never had occasion to question the charges on any tab presented to me, I am sure that any such situation would be handled in a friendly manner. The menu at The Hub includes choices typical of what appeals to the bar crowd that frequents. I have ordered many menu items and have to say it falls into the "above average" category for quality and consistency. Prices are at or below average for the quality of food preparation and service provided. If you are looking for a great casual place to get a drink and some good late night bar eats The Hub is a must stop when you are in Centralia. In all honesty I must agree with another fellow yelper that it can be loud and echo-y at times (especially during a live music event). If loud isn't your thing, as it sometimes isn't for me, then show up early for a well mixed drink and great handmade pizza or fantastic burger. You will surely be glad to experience one of Centralia's few remaining old school haunts.

Figured i should do an update. Our band plays here a lot. We are welcomed every time, no matter how drunk we acted the last time we were in.  Supportive to touring bands, they get fed and paid. Great grill food, burgers and fries.  They have their own sound system, so no worries there either.  A bit echo-y just because of the way the place is.  Great mood, good times every time we're in.
