The following is a sequence of events that took place on friday night and saturday morning 4/20-4/21. I believe the events give rise to an action and claim against a public accomodation for harrassment due to sexual orientation....Please advise if the Commissions screening panel feels the same and forward forms for filing the claim,,, It should be noted that after I reported a sexual assault (grabbing of my buttock) the person that did it was allowed to stay at the club and in addition the club lacked any identifyable security personnel. There were three bartenders working and a dj in the dj booth.... I believe the law states the club MUST have adequate security... To the Maine Human Rights Commission: I had been in contact with you before regarding incidents at the club Maine Street downtown as you probably recall. Last night this guy grabbed my backside after I told him several times I was not interested and to leave me alone and respect my space. Well I did as I was told by 1st asking the staff to call the PD to which they did not. I then went to the outside and called over to the taxi drivers and asked them, then some young lady out in the smoking area offered for me to use the phone.... I expressed what had happened on the phone in brief detail. Soon two patrol cars came to the scene. They took my side of the story and then went in and found the person that was responsible asked his side to which he denied.... While out in front of the club an individual walked to endge of the deck and stated I think you are a drama queen. I replied to him with my thoughts of him... I went back in with a warning that the police did not want to have to comeback out to find out that I caused a fight or a problem. I said nothing to no one as always danced by myself and tried to enjoy the rest of the evening. Soo after that individual, assuming he had knowledge of what happened came over placed his hand on my thigh and said what happened out there I want to make sure your OK. I told him not to touch me, not ever and take take his f'in hand off my leg. He stepped away laughing. There was a staff member described as new younger and wearing a green shirt with lettering. he served my drinks and I could ID him if needed. To my knowledge he said nothing tot he person.The rest of the night this individual kept coming up close to me and annoying me, by blocking my view of the dance floor, stepping in front of me (restricting my movement) and enjoining others a male and female to do the same. I tried to ignore them and have fun knowing that would get them more than reacting to it. I exited the building at 1245 am and again called for assistance to report the harrassment. I asked the arriving officers to obtain the identity of the person bothering me if they could. They because angry at me and accused me of causing a scene at the club. You dont know me. Im the most humble,quiet and reserved person there is. Im rather stuck up and snotty and am there to dance not have sex with gay men. I have the right to say who I want to be with if anybody, when i want to be with them and if I choose to or not to talk to them and or entertain them... They just dont seem to get it.... The officers went into get the clubs rendition of the events. I told them i was going home, upset at the lack of security and response to these happenings and would seek action on my own (meaning a lawsuit and complaint) if everyone else refused to do anything. You may want to take notice leaning against the back bar I could smell the smell of crack cocaine being smoked in the back room.... I know that the police are limited as to what they can and will do but I felt it was wrong of the officer to turn his attention tome and make me out to bethe villain. In addition I feel its wrong that if there were action taken agaist myself, a protected class that there should be a law that the police have to retain the identity of the individuals responsible for those acts. I have no way of knowing who this person is and that if I choose to take action against them personally those rights are forfeited.... I FEEL REALLY BAD THAT ITS HAD TO COME TO THIS... HERE I AM ON A FRIDAY NIGHT WITH NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO LET THE LAWYERS FIGHT IT OUT.... SORRY NORMAN NOTHING PERSONAL BUT YOUR STAFF FAILED ME AND YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD ADEQUATE SECURITY AND DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS,,,, read more

This place shouldn't call itself a Gay bar. It's full of obnoxious women and equally obnoxious straight guys. The girls act like they have never been outside in their lives. They are so rude and act like everyone is there for their entertainment. They get so drunk it's ridiculous. They bang into you, spill their drinks all over you and act like they are doing you a favor. You would think that management would try to do something to keep these grossly drunk girls from ruining the scene but they don't. They really should stop calling itself as the largest Gay club in New England. Probably never go back there after being there on the 4th of July and the last weekend in July. Go to The Front Street across the street. They know how to mingle gays and straights. read more

Trashy and unkept. When I arrived there was an ambulance there and they were removing someone on a stretcher. The same night I was nearly date-raped by two men who put something in my drinks and pulled me out of the bar, while other people and the bartender just watched. Fortunately I had pepper spray with me, and got away from the men and met with police at Maine Street after calling 911 while running away from the men. If you're into slimy people with barely any clothes on, body odor, and sexual predators, this is the place for you! read more

Ladies....Enjoy being physically threatened, verbally assaulted and being called the "C" word? Then this is the place for you! 4 straight 40 year old women having a fun girls night out ending with some dancing only ended as a nightmare! Not only did this happen to us but it was by one of the proudly admitting owners who instigated the horrible event with us!?! We were treated rudely, threatened physically as well as verbally assaulted and forced to leave. Clearly not welcomed as apparently we didn't "fit in"? read more

DO NOT COME HERE Like so many others, got kicked out for being "too drunk" after a couple of overpriced drinks. Was very clear that I was just being singled out for not "fitting in" with the highly privileged & normative clientele, ie not ticking all the boxes of white cis abled neurotypical etc etc. All their talk about diversity and acceptance is just talk, and if you don't fit staff's rigid view of "normal" you will not be welcome. read more

We were having a fun mother/daughter trip in the area. We heard fun music and decided to head over to Maine Street. My sisters we let in walking arm in arm with no issues. My Mom and I were stopped by the "bouncer" and were asked to take the equivalent of a road side driving test for no reason and not allowed entrance. The "bouncer" was very belittling and disrespectful. Would never recommend this place! read more

Absolutely awful, straight women and bridal parties all over the place. definitely not a good gay scene. the owners and bartenders don't seem to care as long as they're making money. so if you're looking for a great gay scene this is not the place to go. we are here every week and live local and it is overrun with bridal parties women and straight people. read more

Fun and really pretty large dance club. The shows are great as Ogunquit really needs more entertainment. The bartenders are also great and they mix a great drink. Prices are a little on the high side. The crowd can change big time day to day. One day it is more gay, the other day filled with young woman. It does seem like a good time is had by all. read more

Not only was he rude, but the bar owner actually assaulted me when he got in my face and aggressively smashed my phone out of my hand and into the street. There was a miscommunication with the bill, but putting your hands on a customer and (attempting) to destroy their property is BAD business 101. read more

This used to be a decent gay bar that is now overrun by obnoxious bachelorette parties and bigoted straight guys who will insult you and call you names. Management clearly doesn't care because all they see are dollar bills. Huge disservice to the LGBT community. read more

If you are looking for a good time in Ogunquit, nothing beats Main St. The music, drinks, and staff will make your experience one to remember and guaranteed to make you come back for more! read more

Bouncer had the MOST miserable girlfriend, which made us think twice about going there. Not a great vibe. She doesn't look all that good in her all white look. read more

Mainstreet is the best. Friendly staff, good prices, and fantastic DJ,s all in one of the nicest spots in Maine

My friend was kicked out of this establishment and searched because she talked to a black man.

It's a gay bar. If your not gay the bartenders are rude as hell.

this place is absolutely disgusting.
