This review is solely based on my experience last night. A group of 7 of us went to MaineStreet last night for some drinks and karaoke. We arrived a little after 9pm, there were maybe 12-15 people there, most were men that were leaning on the bar just chatting and making it damn near impossible for anyone to get near the bar to order a drink. We decided to go get a table and then made our way back to the bar.
Here's where things were a little unsettling for me. All 7 of us went up to the bar together, my wife and I asked for two rum buckets, we were told they no longer have them, even though they're still listed on the drink menu. We finally settled on Red Bull and Vodka, two drinks = $19. 3 others got the SAME exact drink (Red Bull and Vodka) two were charged $11 each, and the other was charged $13. The next time we went up, my wife and I were charged $20 for two drinks, my friend who had been charged $13 the first time asked me to order her drink in hopes that I'd get a cheaper price, but this time, it was $14!!! The bartender was just making up prices as he went along, totally uncalled for and so unprofessional.
As the night went on, the place filled up some, but for a Friday night, it wasn't as busy as most bars normally are. I understand it's "off season" now, but it was a little sad.
The sound system is just ok, nothing fancy, you can hardly hear the singers over the drunks talking loudly and the screaming drunk straight girls who are there for their bachelorette parties.
Another thing that was a little weird to me was that in the past, they've had a "bouncer" either outside or just inside the door to check IDs of people first coming in. Last night, there was no one to be found and no one was even carded at the bar. Two of the girls we were with had just turned 21 within the last 3 weeks, but the way things were running last night, anyone under 21 could have been in there and been served. read more
