Main St Bar & Grill

We ordered chicken wings hoping they would be decent, but when we got our order in, my friend asked if the boneless wings were supposed to be «this crunchy!!» In other words, these damn wings were burnt… again!!! I’ve had this problem in the past because supposedly they don’t serve bone-​in wings, we we’re not aware of this, they were burnt then also. The customer service was OK til the bartender decided to argue with us about the flavor of the wings that was ordered was wrong with the to-​go order that my friend was going to get. She told the bartender to forget it, it was not what she wanted, and wasn’t paying for it. Now isn’t the customer usually always right? What kind of person argues, then rolls their eyes because of something that they screwwed up! I’m sure that we will never eat there again!!! Disgusting!!!

Terrible service & extremely overpriced! NEVER go here! My friends and I went here for happy hour last week. Even though the bar was practically empty it took forever for our waitress to serve us, we would have just gone to the bar ourselves but the bartender was hardly behind the bar either. For two of us, we had a shot each, four drinks each, and dinner. The total was $ 102.00!!! I wouldn’t have even expected that price in Chicago!
Not to mention, they screwed it up the first time and charged my friend’s card $ 85 first (without telling her) then charged $ 102 on top of that. When we got the bill we saw that everything was upcharged, including my friend’s meal which was on special, and my screwdrivers which were $ 9 apiece. I asked why I wasn’t given their well vodka and was told that is the price for well vodka. The drinks, (lack of) service, and food were NOT worth the price AT ALL!
When we contested the bill, they brought it down to $ 90 (still overpriced), and then went to charge my friend’s card AGAIN. They called the manager in at midnight the night we were there to help fix the card problems. Despite us asking to talk to the manager in person, she did not come out to talk to her unhappy customers. After we waited for over an hour for them to clear up the card issue they said we could go and they would fix the problem by the next day.
Today, 5 days later, her card still shows a $ 187 charge. Supposedly they are going to delete those two charges and only charge her card $ 90. It was just the worst headache and no way at all to treat your paying customers. Now I know why the bar was empty on a Friday night.

Nice and quite on Thursdays. They always seem to have great drink specials and the bartenders have always been nice.
If you are looking to watch a boxing match or UFC fight this is the place to go. Bot many places show these fights and I believe the cover is typically $ 5 bucks. Well worth it considering there are also good specials. It will get crowed so go early at least 1 hour for a good table.
Talking about food… The wings and burgers are delicious.
I’m not too sure about there seating. Some is great but some furniture looks more for outdoors and it is uncomfortable. They bathrooms could be bigger too.
Overall a nice, not intimidating place to grab a drink and avoid the drinking madness found at other bars.

Townies. I was surrounded by townies.
We went on Saturday night before going to Daddio’s for a bite to eat that wasn’t pizza. The menu is pretty small and straightforward, bar food like burgers, quesadillas, and wings, as well as a few horseshoe sandwiches.
Nothing stellar, nothing to write home about, I would probably opt for something else when I return.

Not too bad of a place. Good food, decent prices and friendly staff. i’ll be back.

What was once Show-Me’s is now Main St. Grill. They never even closed their doors to redecorate. Just changed names overnight.
In my opinion, it was a great move. This is a great bar set up: big rectangular bar, lots of TVs, outdoor patio with bags, private back room, elevated area that can be used as a stage for bands, etc. I always felt a bit creepy going into Show-Me’s because all the girls wore hot pink spandex; a uniform that no one would choose to wear. Now, it’s just a great bar in downtown Bloomington.
Typically, domestic beers (Buds & Coors products) cost $ 2.50 per pint and $ 5.00 for a «big» 32oz. Killian’s is $ 2.75 per pint and $ 5.25 for a 32 oz.
We were there on a Friday night and the specials were $ 3 Vegas bombs and long islands. Food isn’t anything special but it’s priced well. Sandwiches are $ 5 – 7 with chips. And the chips are good — they seem homemade. If you want fries, it’s $ 1 extra and salads are $ 1.50 extra.
Service here was good when they were Show-Me’s and it’s still good as Main St. (they kept all the same servers). If you haven’t checked this place out yet, definitely give it a look. Good place to see a game (though you won’t likely have audio).
