Editorial Review for Main On Main – by Alexandra Bornhoft
In Short
This sleek lounge and nightclub provides fresh competition for the monopoly of Irish pubs and taverns that line party-friendly Main Street. During the week, an attractive, mostly 20-something crowd mingles on soft leather couches while nursing deceptively strong signature cocktails. On weekends, singles and groups of girls work up a sweat right up until 2am on the usually packed (albeit small) dance floor grinding to non-stop bets from local DJs, while the dim lighting cast by tabletop candles creates intimately dark corners for couples who want to make out.
Hits: The drink list offers inventive and delicious combinations of specialty cocktails, such as the sparkling bellini Cosmo or fruity mango mojitio. The bartenders mix up a Shot of Love, a sweet blend of Absolut Raspberri, peach schnapps, and Seven-Up tinted red with a splash of cranberry juice.
Misses: The bar's exterior is so minimal you might strut right by if you're not on the lookout. Also, the lounge is quiet and somewhat empty on weekday nights when there is no DJ.

I've been going to Main off and on since they opened. I quit going because it was so hot. NOT ANY MORE! I don't know what they did but I went this last weekend and it was almost TOO COLD..until I started dancing then it was just right. It's the best place to dance on Main st and I can walk there to it's a win win for me!
Pros: NEW AC!!
Cons: nothing anymore!

The reality of this place is that it is just too damn hot in there! I recently attended a friend’s birthday party on a Sat. night. The temperature in the bar had to be over 100%. There is no circulation in the place so you are basically just breathing in the gross sweaty air that everyone else is exhaling. Just one look around the bar revealed almost everyone fanning themselves with the flyers, table tents, or anything else they could find relive the heat. After speaking with a couple of workers at the bar it became apparent that this was not a onetime issue. I was informed that they get comments on it every weekend and they relay those comments to management and nothing changes. My friends and I would not go back to this bar based solely on the lack of concern for the comfort of its guests! However, if you are looking to have a great time and leave soaked in sweat, this is the place for you. The DJ was playing a fantastic mix.
Pros: Great Music, Strong Drinks, Friendly Service
Cons: Too HOT!!!!!!!
