Stopped in here for a drink. Very pretty young Lady poured my drink and set it on the bar. Then told me I’m going to have to leave because I have a pup. I told her it’s a service dog. I have all righ federal identification Harness tags ect. Dog goes all over the country with me. including into the hospital. So I asked her for my money back. She refused since she said I already poured it. why server someone a drink that ur going to kick them out in less then 1 minute. She saw the service dog when I walked in. There was 4 or 5 people in there. I didn’t even Drink the drink nor did I touch it. She needs to brush up on her law and actually have a better manners. Been to a lot of different bars in this area and everybody has been so welcoming and kind. Not her. Sad because I tip very will. Her slow night would’ve gone a lot better for her.

Felt very comfortable actually for being a strong antisocial I didn't feel like I was being judged from a far the service was very polite and even suggested things for the food that was ordered. Food was definitely on point. Id go again, no questions asked!! Thanks maingate for being awesome

Burgers at this classic East DSM bar are fantastic. Onion rings were delicious as well. Met the owners and they were extremely welcoming.

Honestly I only come to Maingate because it is so close to my house, but it's kinda awesome. Usually very chill and food is not bad at all. Drink prices are super reasonable with a cost saving happy hour.
