After a paint job and a new sign, it's now a neighborhood gathering spot that welcomes residents and visitors from near and far. The Main Street Tavern has only been open for a few months, but it's already making a name for itself in this vibrant riverfront city.

The interior of the tavern is casual and has a cool, laid-back atmosphere. It's perfect for a group gathering, a meal and drink at the bar, or a family brunch.
While there are still signs of its former Irish pub identity, Main Street Tavern has put their own stamp on the place. You probably won't even notice the decor because you'll be too busy drooling over their insanely good menu!
Main Street Tavern is open Tuesday - Thursday from 11 am to 11 pm, Friday from 11 am to 12 am, Saturday from 10 am to 12 am, and Sunday from 10am to 3 pm (Main Street Tavern is closed on Mondays). Their menu has breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner specialties to choose from.
Some favorites are the Shrimp and Grits, "Bill Hates Cooking Pasta," and The Louisville Slugger, which is the restaurant's version of a Kentucky Hot Brown.
There are also specials offered, like the ones shown above, that taste as good as they look.
