It was ok. The food wasn't bad but the selection was small. The location is great.

One of my new favorite spots in Salem, not sure if it's a bit of an unknown or hidden gem cuz it was kind of empty when I was there but it was an outstanding experience all around. Food is fantastic and I look forward to going back and trying more of the Irish classics on the menu. Bartender was extremely welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Highly recommended.

While visiting from out of town and walking around we stumbled on the Olde Main Street Pub and were thankful we did. The menu was small and simple but the food was great! We got appetizers, entrees, and drinks and all were fantastic. Just overall great solid food and drinks!

So glad we stopped in while exploring Salem, because we had a wonderful time here! We sat at the bar for some drinks and lunch and the bartender was the sweetest, and most efficient person I’ve ever met! She was always looking out for us and entertaining everyone else at the bar. I’m sorry I didn’t catch her name, but we came on June 19th around lunch time. She was STELLAR!

First time to Salem. Picked this bar out of the blue. I had an amazing Bartender ( Heather ) Absolutely amazing. Maybe my time there amazing. Next time I get a chance to visit I hope I get the same bartender. Food was good, the recommendation on the beer was awesome. I came all the way up from North Carolina. Never let Heather go! She is. An amazing, awesome , sweet bartender. I hope to make it back one day soon. I hope to get Heather for my bartender. Amazing person!!

Went here on what’s likely the busiest weekend of the year for Salem. Halloween. We sat outside to avoid the wait and even though it was close to 45-55 degrees out and I accentuate that it was BUSY, the food was still perfect, and the food came out without being over due. Like Gordon Ramsay level perfection. We were all so impressed that we were just talking about it now, months later. I apologize for not leaving a review sooner!

Linsey was a great server, the dish and chips were pretty good (loved the fries, the fish was very fresh and flaky), beer was cold, service was fast, and I would recommend stopping here for sure! I came on a Thursday towards the end of October and was seated within 5 minutes

Went here for dinner while visiting Salem. Worth the wait on line for sure! Got the buffalo wings, shepherds pie and fish and chips and a Guinness. I would highly recommend coming here, I would come here again simply for the food. Flavorful, great portion and delicious! Not “touristy” at all, just a great place for some Irish food and beer!
