The bartender, whose name we learned and promptly forgot, made up for a cloudy demeanor with exceptional pouring skills. He properly tilted each glass, partially poured, paused, then topped them off – all by the book. We thanked him, he grunted, and we drank. The brews were excellent – frothy, cold, full-flavored and satisfying.
The experience became warmer and more amusing as time passed. A steady flow of to-go customers picking up their fish fries provided sporting entertainment – there’s nothing like making fun of vaguely familiar neighbors as they pass. After eavesdropping for a time, our surly bartender even joined in and held his own nicely. For fine refreshments in a classic, suburban-casual atmosphere, we give The Centennial 4 stars out of 5!
What about the food? Well, on this trip, we never really got around to eating. Next time, we’ll make a point of it, yeah? Cheers!
