This gay bar multiplex is the size of 4 NYC bars in one: 1: cabaret stage; 2: pool table and open space; 3: dance floor with DJ; 4: upstairs lounge with ample outdoor space. Reasonable drink prices, tons of space, everything is clean and the service is friendly...what more do you want from a bar? It's fairly dead on a Saturday before 10:30PM, and the drag show has a ridiculous $10 cover charge (which they'd never get away with in New York). Get there around 10 to carve out your spot at the upstairs bar and wait for the dance floor to fill up. It's really not half bad for the size of this tiny little town! read more

I see the boys below me have given Maine Street 5 stars, but I just can't quite bring myself to agree with that rating. While Maine Street was more up my alley than the rest of the gay bars in Ogunquit...it still didn't seem particularly special to me. Maybe this is just because I'm from San Francisco, and we've got gay bars coming out of our proverbial asses. The crowd was pretty average (at best), the DJ didn't have a few songs (songs that have been out for a good month or two, which seemed a little off) and the staff wasn't particularly charming. I guess the deck area is nice...if you're a smoker. That said, there was nothing really wrong with the space either. It was roomy, and the bathrooms weren't too crowded. There is a relatively spacious dancefloor. It also didn't take too long to get a drink, once you bellied up to the bar. And the drinks seemed to pack a powerful enough punch. Overall, Maine Street was a decent way to wrap up our evening with a little dancing, but I also can't say it is on my list of must-go-back places... read more

Depending on what time of the year you visit this place, you could have a different experience. The very first time I visited Ogunquit - years ago, my first impression of Main Street was - wow, what a big space to dance in this tiny village. Yes, the dance floor has always been a drawing card for me - irrespective of who the DJ of the night is. I have come to terms with the music scene here on the North-East coast in general and don't have too many qualms any more. It will never be Europe - ever. It cannot be. So on my recent visit to Ogunquit not too long ago (a couple of weeks?!) - I saw the place has been reduced to half it's size where the main dance floor which is on the left side of the main entrance was completely blocked and closed off. I am assuming that is due to one of the following reasons - (and I wish I had checked with the staff): 1) Either they are doing some kind of renovation or 2) they have started closing off the main dance floor during non-peak seasons. I hope it is 1. and not the latter else I would be majorly disappointed. Visiting Ogunquit and hence Main Street during summer can be a challenge by itself. Because clearly everyone is out and about when the weather is nice. But as they say, you can't win it all (unless of course if you are Tom Brady!) So during my past visit, I had a great time here and totally enjoyed the night of drinking and dancing. That is pretty much why you go to this place. Having said all that, I doubt I will ever be disappointed with Main Street. For the only night club in this beautiful little town, this place, I must say is an institution of sorts. And I hope or rather I am very sure, the management is very well aware of that. Because over the years, Ogunquit and Wells seem to draw crowds from every part of the country. And just as the adjoining Front Porch has kept up with the times and managed to stay true to it's reputation - that of a fantastic establishment; I hope Main Street follows the same footsteps too. (PS: The main dance floor - on the left side of the entrance; hopefully stays open all year round) read more

The wait staff is incredibly rude especially security. I walked up and was immediately told I may not be able to go in because I seemed drunk. I was in no way drunk just excited to go into this bar I have always gone past but never old enough to go in. And when we finally got upstairs we were seated at a very small wobbly table on the deck overlooking the street. After and hour and a half and 1 drink each. We had our table full of empty drink and water cups. One of said water cups ended up tipping over because we bumped the wobbly table and a server came over and said "I saw you knock the ice over the edge." We tried to explain that it was an accident with the table being unsteady but he was very rude once again assuming we were drunk. We finally leave and are outside talking to a few people waiting to go in (who were CLEARLY drunk and still being let in no problem) and once again the rude security guard told us we had to leave. It was just an all around bad experience and I will not be returning. read more

My experience at Main Street was a disaster. Some 20-something CLEARLY denied us entry because we were members of the LGBTQ community. Clearly we were immediately denied service based on our orientation. Very very sad in thiS day & age. Luckily we were welcomed with open arms at the Front Porch. A clearly inclusive establishment. The Main Stteet establishment should be ashamed of themselves. A clear attempt to discriminate against those in another orientation. SAD read more

i've only been there once but i had a great time. my bf and i are pretty open so we like hanging out at gay bars. Why?? you guys know how to get down and boogie and dance like no ones watching. everyones a super-star on the dance floor. you treat my shopping cart move with such utter respect, i heart you all. this bar/club was good for where it was. ogunquit is a small, quaint town so don't expect anything huge or spectacular. the music was good. read more

Reached out to see if they could reschedule but never formally confirmed. Then they sold my tickets to the event? Bummer for the night

Did not have a good experience here. I thought that the staff was rude and unfriendly without reason. I felt uncomfortable and ended up leaving. read more

We had a great time here for our first Dueling Diva's drag show! These ladies know how to put on an amazing show and certainly have some pipes! We laughed the entire time. SO glad we found this gem! read more

Came to this place on a Friday night and paid $8 dollars per glass for house Pino Grigio. Next day the bar upstairs charged us $14 per glass. I asked the bartender if he overcharged us and he responded saying he gave us better quality wine. We never asked for higher quality wine. Complained to the manager and manager Anthony apologized and comped the next round. We won't let the unapologetic bartender ruin this for us. This place has good ambience and centrally located. read more

This review is based on the Dueling Drag Divas Show. They were fantastic, funny and talented. Great, entertaining show. Chris (bartender) was friendly and make good drinks. A fun night out. read more

If you are in Ogunquit and want to get away from children, intolerant/ignorant people, this is the place to be. The place has pool table, dance floor, outdoor area. This is probably the "IT" place for top dance music and really for you to "dance". It caters to many types of people. Drinks were a little weak, but much better than any other places here. You can be wild and crazy. Go to beach during the day and just let your naughtiness rule here. read more

Great show, laughed a lot, (which I really needed at these times). Very professional and Covid responsible! Great job ladies

The place was packed. Lots of people, 2 dance floors, draughts shows. What a fun place!

Worst place to go to, terrible service! unless you're a regular kissing his hand "literally" the bartender which is the owner is the most rude person in there. As a business owner he doesn't know anything about customer service. If you are looking for a good time and be treated like a human and not be pressured when it comes to ordering your drinks with your crew, who is trying to support his business Maine Street is the worst place to go. The bar wasn't even overwhelmed! No reason for such disrespect!!! Our group of 5 will let ALL of our Boston peeps of all areas.... first responders, restaurant owners, family, and friends NEVER TO SUPPORT THIS MAN's ESTABLISHMENT!! read more

While the staff was postively lovely the patrons of this bar are far from friendly.Me and my friend were harassed for being on the younger side of the spectrum and had our outfits and appearance criticized to our faces without saying a word to any of the offending patrons. We came here to have a good time in an open minded place where we wouldnt be getting hit on by sketchy guys and instead ended up criticized for being under 40 and not dressed in a plaid button up or a 100% polyester blend crew neck and cargo shorts. Bar would be great if not for the close minded folk who should know better. read more

Went to see the Dueling Drag show. What great entetaiment.Those girls can rock a house. Thanks for the good time, would recommend your show.Only gave It 4 stars because the chairs sucked other then that if you are open minded and like to have a good time, this is the place to go read more

As a bar manager, I have to say the owner of this place hit the jackpot with employees. From the door man to the bar back. But Heather is the rockstar. No one waits for a drink. She never stops. When she isn't making drinks, she's cleaning up. She is possibly the best bartender on the Maine sea coast. Every one in there is just having fun. You can't not be happy when you're there. read more

We went up to Ogunquiet for a dudes weekend and were surprised by the crowd. We managed to have fun anyhow. Karaoke and bud lights and cougars! hahaha read more

It was advertised both online and on posters that New Year's Eve cover would be $10. When we got to the door they were charging $15 for cover and would not honor the advertised price. Very disappointing. read more

I'm from Orlando and have been to gay clubs all over. The music here was awesome. I was here Memorial day weekend and it was PACKED. It wasn't a super cute crowd and definitely older but that's to be expected. The drinks were strong and I had a lot of fun. make sure to get a place close by as these cops here do not mess around. read more

The worst service ever and by the "owner" aka rude and incompetent bartender. First, we were ignored bc we weren't customers that kissed the hand of this bartender. Then when we finally were acknowledged after like 10mins of being ignored. We were rushed to order a drink and told we were wasting his time. Mind you this bar was not busy at all. After confronting this bartender we were told verbatim "shut the fuck up" and threatened to be removed from the establishment. We decided to leave his weak ass drinks on the counter and definitely will dispute any charges that establishment tries to charge our cards. I've traveled all over the world and have been to many establishments gay and straight and have never felt such disrespect and feeling like a "second class citizen" especially from the so called owner of a bar...I would be ashamed to identify myself at the owner of a place and treat customers with such disrespect. I'll never throw salt on a business, as my group and I felt we would've had a great time if we didn't go to the owner. But I felt I needed to share this experience because it's one in which caused me to come out of my character which really ever happens. So if your not a regular that kisses his hand, be prepared to get shitty service. I would never go back to this establishment. FYI "The Front Porch" is a way better place to go to and everyone is friendly with impeccable service. I recommend going there instead...end of rant! read more

Friendly atmosphere ,great music , several options ranging from the weekend show to the main bar with two dance floors and the upper deck. Loved it ! read more

We recently got married in Ogunquit and needed a place to continue our reception after our venue closed down at 10PM. We ended up booking the upstairs deck at MaineStreet for our after party. It was incredible! The view of downtown Ogunquit and the beach is great. The private bar was amazing too. It was really a perfect place to throw a party. I definitely can't wait to throw an event there again. Aside from the space the staff and bartender were so friendly and accommodating. Plus the managers and owner were so helpful during the planning process. They were so laid back and took care of everything for us. It was probably the easiest part of the wedding to plan. We had a lot of guests visiting from out of town and they loved the venue and the views and the whole experience. Thank you MaineStreet for a memorable night!! read more

Adorable Patio. Great for a drink with friends, seems like everyone knows each other here. Not your average tourist spot in Maine!.

Has always been a lot of fun, but it has been taken over by straight wedding parties and drunken bachelorette parties. Frustrating that gay bars are now the place for straight women to act crazy and get drunk. and equally frustrating that Maine Street doesn't shut this behavior down. read more

Went here during Labor Day after the rain poured like hell. We came in late afternoon. We needed a quick drink before we head back to Wells then Old Orchard Beach. The bartender was pretty knowledgeable of the bottled & draft beers as well as liquor they offer. I do wish they had a "drinks or happy hour" special which will bring the crowd in similar to bars in NYC. So the bar was pretty empty from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. I can't really say much else at this time but will definitely visit this establishment again perhaps during night time to see how well the DJs, music & crowd are. read more

Not too bad of a place. It's packed during the summer, if you like crowds. The drinks are a little over priced for Maine and the parking sucks. You'll need to find an open parking lot or a place on the street if you're lucky. Don't waste your time coming here in the winter though, it's dead and lame. Out of the few scenes in Maine to get a drink, I'd say this is the best. Only because the lack of choices though. read more

If your planning on going during the winter, don't expect much of a crowd or a crazy fun time. I bought a drink it was normal strength and 11$ bucks. Parking is slim and I'm sure during the summer it's better. I give four stars because I haven't been when it's been poppin. read more

Love the staff!! Love the dance floor! Great place for s group or to meet new people! Will definitely be coming back again!

Hadnt been here in a couple years and it was greatly expanded but everything closed on a Friday night. Cant tell you why? We were at a new bar unfortunately constructed with very poor design. Bartender friendly but drink prices were higher than a fancy resort in Hawaii or Caribbean. read more

Not to be missed when in Ogunquit. Gay and proud. The dueling divas drag show was a fan favorite. At ten dollars a person it was worth the talent. The queens sang, for real. A friendly crowd with dancing for young and old with two dance spots. This is the place to party. Wow. Just wow. Cuties abound. read more

Its a fun bar with a lot to offer, two dance floors that have two types of music for you to enjoy, your classic gay anthems or modern dance music of today. Very friendly and overall nice staff though there are a few bad apples whose service leaves much to be desired. As a frequent customer, weekly, it seems some of the newer bartenders dont know how to properly make drinks and once when I asked for shots was blatantly told no because it was too busy. I said ok I understand instead of making a big deal for being told no for a service I was going to pay for. The problem, he then went on helping other customs even though we were next and had waited our time and ignored my friends and I for another 15mins until another bartender came over and had no problems making out shots, he got a $40 tip. Now when I go I just make sure to avoid those bartenders and make sure to get those who have been around longer and more friendly. Other than that, always a great time. read more

Great crowd and the drinks were good. All was good untill I met the owner, who was bitching at the customers trying to close their tabs (on their credit cards). Why would you accept credit cards and allow your customer to open a tab and then be rude and mean we want to PAY our tabs read more

This place looked like a lot of fun, but they have to cut the old racist man who works in the main bar. I went with my partner to this bar, and the oldest guy that was attending the main bar obviously did not want to serve me. We were waiting for over twenty minutes as the bartender asked and served each person that stood next to us. A lady even pointed out to him twice that we had been waiting and arrived before her, but he just said to her "well I am asking what you want". I finally had to bring it up to him that he has served every customer except me, except the non-white customer. Instead of an apology, he yelled "get out!" so cruelly. I never could feel worse in a place. Please, the owner or the manager of this place needs to take action because this employee's actions should not be tolerated, and is the antithesis of pride month. Additionally, this person is affecting your business reputation. This was truly a disappointment during our weekend in Ogunquit. read more

I love this bar. The deck is awesome. The staff are great and the music is great. This is a great play for the LGBT community to come have a great time with a great staff. read more

Being a local resident I have been patronizing Maine St for years. The management has done a great job making the bar appealing to both gay and straight patrons which is what makes Ogunquit Unique. I appreciate the special attention given to the locals that patronize Maine St year round! The staff for the most part is very friendly and attentive, but there are a few "Divas" that need to remember that they are there to provide service, not be admired. read more

absolutely fantastic place to shake your groove thing and get boozie while on a beach vacation in moose-country! recently renovated - maine street has something for everyone - good music - fantastic staff - and an outside deck on the street for cruising the people as they walk on by. a definite gay-must while in ogunquit. read more

Really enjoyed myself at Maine Street this past Saturday. DJ was great and drinks were well made. Seemingly new front deck was nicely equipped. Staff seemed friendly. Only gripe was really lousy smoking area which desperately needed a cleanup. It was like standing in a gravel pit....I know it's Maine and all...but fix it please! read more

As queer women we have never felt so uncomfortable in what is supposed to be an LGBT friendly environment. My soon to be wife and I came to Ogunquit to celebrate our wedding that is only weeks away. The owner offered to buy us celebratory shots. We don't often take shots but felt a little forced so, we accepted. As we walked away from the bar, the bartender awkwardly stopped us saying that the owner did not pay. Ummm okay?! We didn't want a confrontation so we just sucked it up and paid for the shots. It was bizarre! We see the owner about 15 minutes later and confronted him. In the end he apologized and gave us cash for the shots. It was weird but the owner made it right... As we are walking out a man comes behind us screaming that we are trash for taking the owners money. It was intense. I have never been yelled at by a stranger like that. We offered to give the money back for the shots (that we didn't want in the first place!) but the name calling wouldn't end. In the end we left and we won't be coming back. The owner watched this man yelling at us and was actually encouraging the behavior by pointing and laughing. Do yourself a favor and stay away. The owner and his followers are unprofessional and hostile to anyone who is not a regular. read more
