About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

Third and Main is a top-of-the-line steak house and tavern in historic Aurora, IN. From in house dry aging our steaks to carrying the largest selection of wagyu beef in the Midwest, we have it all. If steak isn't your favorite we also have a fresh seafood selection weekly with a full sushi and raw bar.

Located in one of the oldest operating taverns in Indiana, Third and Main carries on the historic traditions with an upscale menu in a casual atmosphere. Just a short drive from Cincinnati along the Ohio River, this family-owned and operated restaurant is a great place to get away from the bustle of city living.

Our 120 year old bar is fully-stocked with over 275 different bourbons, domestic, import and craft beers and a variety of select wines we feature proudly. Stop in and have a seat at our 120 year old bar to see why Third and Main is a local Tri-State favorite.

Heard great things so we wanted to have my daughters graduation dinner there. We had arrived a few minutes before our reservation and was seated promptly. We did bread service to start. Took forever to arrive. But was delicious. We ordered taste of the world, pasta, dry aged ribeye, and blt salad. Food was definitely worth it but the service lacked the polish you'd expect with that price point. Just felt like I was paying ruby prices for taco bell service.

Always have the best experience at Third and Main. Food is always good, bourbon selection is fantastic, and the service is always top notch. We prefer sitting in the bar area for a more entertaining evening. We have never had a bad meal or experience at Third and Main.

The food was good. The mussels were overcooked but everything else was on point. The server was inexperienced and didn't know anything about the pricing on seafood or about menu items. He could have told us the oysters were tiny for $24 half dozen. That was a bit of a disappointment. They did allow my girlfriend to elect a dessert from the regular menu on the house. That was a nice touch. For an hour drive and no view, we will stick closer to the city. The menu was overpriced but the chef knows his stuff.
