Olde Main Street Pub - Irish restaurant in Salem - 121 Essex St, USA

The food is just so good! If you come to Salem, please go to the Olde Main Street Pub. You will not be disappointed. Eric, our server, was so much fun, even though he isn't a native Bostonian,lol. We enjoyed being in the heart of Salem while having a delicious meal. The half of chicken dish was very moist, and I'm not sure how they got the skin so crispy, but it was amazing. Tasted like an upscale Thanksgiving dinner. We also had their signature burger, and the smoky flavors with bacon permeated our car with our leftovers. The fries are a must!!! Get them on the side if they don't come with your meal. Move onto the street corn. SPEECHLESS! Hands down the best I have ever had. Obsessed with the tiny onion straws on top of it. I would have licked the plate clean if I didn't have any manners. Thank you for a great meal and a heavy hand on the adult cocktails!

We went in really not expecting much, just another bar. The staff, great. Food, great. We got the mushroom stew to start, which was the only some what disappointing thing. Not worth the cost, start with something else. Still tasty, but just not worth the price. Then we got the fish tacos and steak sandwich. Oh my gosh, was I surprised. The tacos were SO FLAVORFUL! The steak sandwich was SUPER delicious. We will be back.

Food was amazing as we got the arancini and caprese as well as the bangers and mash. Both were out of this world! The only thing holding this spot back from 5 stars was the service. The servers were not the friendliest, fastest or most welcoming. Besides that, this place is an absolute must-try!

I ate here twice while in Salem. Perfect pub atmosphere, great food, excellent drink choices, and a great place to take a break while exploring Salem. It is in the very heart of walking all the sights.

Excellent place! Everything we tried was fantastic (fish tacos, steak sandwich, corn), our server was truly exceptional, and the atmosphere is truly fun and relaxed. Stop here if you're in Salem!

We stopped in after a ghost tour. The kitchen was open for about another half an hour. The service was friendly and not too fast or slow. The food was amazing. My younger son had an amazing burger. The older son enjoyed the bangers and mash. The half chicken I ordered was amazing and came with asparagus and a few onion rings. My husband enjoyed his salmon as well. So glad we ended our day in Salem at Olde Maine Street Pub. We wa t to return to Salem and we will for sure make a return visit to this lovely pub, too. Oh...and the brussel sprouts appetizer was wonderful!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is one of the better places I have ate in Salem. The steaks tips were mighty tasty and the fish & chips were pretty good. The appitizers weren't to shabby either. Unfortunately the menu is limited. Drinks were refreshing and I recommend the Salem Lager Notch Brewing. I recommend this place if you're in the area

This pub is a great place to drop in for lunch or supper, or just to have drink or two and chat it up with others! We had cocktails and beer here both on the sidewalk patio as well as inside the bar section. Service was wonderful as far as drinks go-we had dessert only (bread pudding) and it was wonderful. No parking in the immediate area as it is right downtown Salem, Ma., and so many ppl walk. Stop in and enjoy!
