    A bar with a digital menu screen, bottles of alcohol, and a colorful display shelf filled with toys and collectibles.

    Very cool arcade bar! We had a blast playing some Classic games. The drinks were lovely, and the service was great. This a great place for kids as well. We went during Halloween season, so there were tons of spooky things going on. Great place to make a spot when in the area

    This place was so much fun! First time going to a drag show and it didn't disappoint! The place is really cool on the inside and definitely packed! bartenders were cool and the service was great! I don't drink anymore or go to bars, but this particular weekend away, I had to stop in to see the show! It was definitely worth it. If you're looking for a good time, this is definitely the place to go.

    This was pretty cool. Relaxed Wednesday night for our first visit as locals. Stacks on stacks of delicious beers litter the menu, and although we didn't expand too deep into food, the apps menu worked. Blue cheese burger sliders were damn tasty (although I would've preferred real blue cheese, this was slightly fluffy and runny) and the beer cheese teamed up with those delicious pretzels hit the spot. Dumped $20 into the token machine and that kept the missus and I busy for darn close to two hours Skeeball, pinball, some random cabinet games. Mixed drinks were tasty, beers were plentiful, staff was awesome. Friendly and a lot of fun! 21+ after 8pm, so eat early if you're bringing your kids!

    Cool arcade bar we accidentally came across when running in the rain back to the train station. Had some time to kill before the next train arrival and to let the kids unwind with some video games while the adults have a few drinks. They have a huge selection of beer and a decent collection of pinball machines, arcade games, skeeball and, mostly older/classic stuff. The price for arcades were actually not bad. This place was super clean and an awesome place for a group of friends to just have drinks, eat and game. Wish we had something like this at home that's not your D&B's.

    I came here last time I was in Salem and knew they had some GF food options and that my husband would enjoy the vibe. Our server was very helpful and friendly. Food was good! I kinda geeked out on the single serving size of nachos. I think you should be able to order smaller portion sizes of appetizers so I was happy! My husband got the hot honey chicken sandwich and loved it. A drag show was about to go on but we were both so exhausted from our 3am travel start time.

    Was walking by & Came in here to play old school video games. The employees I encountered were friendly w/ me. I didn't get to try any food b/c I just ate @ Ginger's. It was kind of loud in there b/c there were a lot of kids. I hope this survives b/c there's a lot of spots that come to Salem then the next year they're gone. I enjoyed myself here & crossing my fingers for next year.

    I have never been to this place, not even the old one but I was very surprised with this one. It is a perfect location and pretty big. I really like all the mix of games that they have and the amount of games that they had too. My son's thoroughly enjoyed all the games especially. We were there for a 40th birthday party and he was a pretty good deal of getting unlimited games. I love the little area we have in the back with all the tables for everyone to eat and I love that. We just had a waitress basically for us. However, my only complaint is when they put out the food they had it like a buffet style which is fine but they had a little game going on the wall which I wish they shut off because the person that was playing it was in our way of getting the food. The pizza was pretty good, The pretzels were good, however the mustard looks absolutely disgusting, The chicken fingers are pretty decent but I wish they had more sauce and the french fries pretty good too. Definitely say the food's pretty good. I wish they had more like mocktail options, but that's just because I'm not a drinker. I would definitely be back

    I love it here and their stamp is so much smaller now. They have drag every Friday and the show is very very good.

    Two beverages are shown in a bar setting, one with a lime wedge and a straw, the other topped with whipped cream and ice.

    Everything tasted amazing, but I think the consensus was that our favorite appetizer was the Tetris shaped tater tots.

(They clearly saw me there; we made eye contact and the one guy wasn't even doing anything.) After about 10 to 15 minutes of waiting with no service, we were about to leave when a server finally came to our table. Since they were obviously busy and weren't keeping up with the crowd that night, we tried to order two drinks each so they could save a little of their time and we could relax without worrying about if a server was going to take our order again before the end of the week. The server very sharply said that he was NOT going to give us two drinks at a time, CERTAINLY not with drinks of this high alcohol content. We ordered one drink each, cashed out and bounced. The cocktail I got was fine; I could make a slightly worse version at home at a fraction of the price (or even two at once!). We we were told later by a friendlier Salemite at a bar with a better vibe that there is a Massachusetts state law that prohibits having two drinks at once at a bar. Fair enough. Had our server told us that, unfortunately, he wasn't allowed to give us two drinks at once -- instead of making us feel like idiots/degenerates for daring to ask -- we probably would have dropped a lot of vacation money there that night. Oh well; we had a great time at the other places we went.

On our first night in Salem, my friends and I chose this place for dinner, and we were immediately glad we did. Every dish tasted homemade and full of flavor, and the service, especially from our server Elisha, was warm, attentive, and personable. We started with the charred broccoli mac & cheese, which arrived piping hot and baked to perfection. Every bite was rich, creamy, and delicious. Honestly, it's up there with the best mac & cheeses I've ever had. For entrées, we shared the shepherds pie and the steak tips. The shepherds pie, made with a hearty mix of lamb, beef, peas, carrots, house mashed, and cheddar cheese, was fresh and perfectly balanced. The steak tips were cooked to our liking, tender, and seasoned beautifully. Both dishes were comforting and satisfying. Olde Main Street Pub delivered exactly what we were hoping for: great food, genuine service, and a cozy atmosphere. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in Salem.

I'm from LA and also spent most of my life in NYC and I know what good Mexican food tastes like.... And guess what?! Howling Wolf might be the best Mexican food on the east coast. Sure, it's a little pricey ($19 for a burrito?! Really?) but I didn't eat in the restaurant so I can't speak to the level of service or detail that comes with that price. I did take out. I f***g hate take out but we were passing through Salem and it was cold and the gf didn't want to eat out. This is really amazing Mexican food. I got the steak tip burrito. 9.5 out of 10. Gf got quesadilla (with carne asada) and I noticed another diner said it was soggy. I disagree. But JUST order the steak tips. Next level. Absolutely loved it. Salsa - very acidic but delish. They also gave us enough for two meals. Guac, solid. Needed salt - but that's not a crime. Only criticism- no one greeted me when I came in. I worked in the food biz and I believe staff should acknowledge you exist within seconds if they aren't greeting/seating you. I waited for a bit and finally someone figured it out. But ya know what - who cares about that when the burrito is this good - best $19 ever spent. Howling wolf - congrats. You've done the impossible. You made good Mexican food in the North Shore and converted a food snob into a believer. Wolf people, I love you. I will howl at the moon and sing your praises forever. Keep doing gods work.
