Designed by LEMAY MICHAUD, Architecture Design of Montreal, Quebec, the bar is located on Hôtel Le Germain Calgary's lobby-level.Central 899 features intimate lighting and a stretch of bar.

Antique serving vessels - including a traditional absinthe fountain - and a FELT Studio art installation designed by Kathryn Walter, lends interest, glamour and charm, while the curved communal table is a focal point.

CSL enjoyed cocktails by the window, an intimate and cozy setting for drinks after work, or before heading to Charcut for dinner.

Central 899 is located at 899 Centre Street and open daily 4 to 10 pm.
