Promoting Freedom for Creative Architecture
Central Kitchen & Bar is an energetic gem for groups. Perfect for enjoying drinks and bites downtown on summer afternoons when plush patio seating invites diners to soak up Cadillac Square and Campus Martius Park surroundings, its menu focuses on seasonal ingredients with familiar bar food serving as a point of departure for creativity; Chef Christina Stanco sources these goods from nearby purveyors such as Fairway Packing, Avalon Bread, Carmela Specialty Foods, Tocco Produce in Eastern Market.
Contemporary urban fare combined with classic American comfort food makes a delicious menu at this bar. Not your standard bar food, all items come at very reasonable prices and the selection of craft cocktails and wines at this establishment is equally impressive.
