01 / The story of this place
Make time for these
Central Kitchen + Bar is a go-to downtown lunch and after-work spot on the ground floor of the First National Building, on the Cadillac Square side. Dennis Archer Jr. and Christopher Brochert announced it in 2015 with partner Ken Karam as a modern American gastropub. The plans called for nearly 130 seats, including 18 at the bar, plus patio seating. The bar makes its own infusions for the cocktails, and there's a happy hour.
