    Ducked into Pillory Pub on a whim. Their "yes, our air conditioner is on" sign probably lured me in subconsciously given the 90°+ temps. Kitchen was running a bit behind, but I ordered a "tipsy pilgrim" (note: tasted like a rum runner), while I waited. The waitresses were friendly and accommodating, though they could have been a bit more attentive. Prices are reasonable, but portion sizes are also small. I opted for a hot dog and chips, which is well outside the norm for me, but something said "do it." It was good. It wasn't great, as the hotdog was over cooked and hard/dry on the outside. But it was good. This place would be ideal for a small group looking to get drinks and people watch. The draft menu is expansive, and rocking chairs allow you to enjoy a drink while overlooking the harbor and its guests.

    Idk who's in the kitchen but he's serving up the best hotdogs south of Boston. I Love this Pub!! consistently has great live music and a great crowd of locals. If it's late night this is the place to be. Welcome to the industry!! Don't forget to pay your respects to the Rock down the street!

    We were in the area checking out local sites when the rain started coming down hard. We decided to duck into this pub while we waited for the rain to pass. Good service, excellent drinks and the nachos hit the spot.

    Great spot right across from the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock. Very cute dive bar with great selections of cider and beer! Definitely try the beer cheese and pretzels and get a hot dog! They were delicious! The bartender was such a sweet lady and they had great music playing and they have board games available too!

    Food is very good here. Don't miss Ben's homemade chowder! Also has an impressive list of local craft brews in cans.

    Olde Main Street Pub is an inviting Irish-style pub & restaurant tucked along historic Essex Street…read morein downtown Salem. It's open Thursday through Sunday from 12:00 PM to 1:00 AM. 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.
