Great venue with a friendly atmosphere—no drama! I really enjoyed the music and the spacious layout. The bartender was fantastic, and the drinks were excellent. The security staff was also on top of things, which made us feel safe. Thank you for that! We will definitely return.

While I felt safe inside 51 Main, with security and management present at the door, I did notice some suspicious individuals outside when I headed to my car around 1:00 AM. I encountered some people asking for money, and one man was staring at me in a rather unsettling way. So, just a word of caution—always prioritize your safety! Thank you for reading my review!

We hosted our company's event at 51 Main, and it was fantastic! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our group feel special for the occasion. The venue layout is ideal for private parties. We had 75 guests and opted for catering, which worked out perfectly. As a bonus, there was a show next door that started after our event, allowing those who wanted to stay out late to enjoy it without needing to travel. Additionally, the location is convenient, being close to several other attractions in the city. I highly recommend 51 Main for private events!

The wings are so much more than I expected.... The frits have some kind of spices on it, the dangerous delicious

Great show if you were lucky enough to see it. Venue not general admission friendly. Loved the entertainers. Bendelacreme, so adorable in and out of character and the local talent was incredible
