Main Street is a good place to go for a late night drink. The food is acceptable for any small town dive bar (Remember - they don't claim to be a five diamond dining facility, its a tavern). Teh service can be hit or miss and the bartenders are not afraid to lay down the law.
They are a little too strict with selling their beer past 2. they will stop extra early and stand their ground.
I really want to give Main Street Tavern a 4 star review but just can't overlook the shortfalls that were experienced over my Frankenmuth weekend. Â I really just wanted a small town dive bar to watch the World Series Playoffs, a little hockey, and maybe my Saturday night Michigan game but was a little disappointed by the tiny TV's in this bar, poor reception (not HD by far), and the one bartender servicing the entire clientele. Â There was one other person working or should I say on the clock, but she was worthless. Â Apparently she was the girlfriend of the owner. Â What a shame. Â I just sucked it up and got my pitchers of beer from the bar, it was only a short walk, more annoying if anything, especially after spending 6-8 hours walking all day.
I did order some breadsticks (small) and those were pretty damn good. Â The small is enough for at least 4 people. Â I just wished they would have informed me that the kitchen was closing all but the oven only 30 minutes after asking for a menu and specifically asking if the fryers were still on. Â He stated that the full kitchen was available. Â
To top all this off, my tab was over $90 and none of us in my party agreed with the amount. Â The pitchers must have been $15 a piece. Â Oh well, take this into consideration when stopping in for a late night beer, old man DJ, and order of breadsticks......PAY CASH or tag out after each order.
Now taking all this into consideration, there were some good things here hence the 3 stars and not 1. Â The breadsticks WERE good, the beer was great (Leini's 5 year special), and I was able to accomplish what I set out to do. Â The place was also half a block from our Bed and Breakfast. Â I would recommend for late night shenanigans but that's about it. Â Next time I'll be trying the wings and maybe a pizza.
