About this restaurant

Neighbourhood 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.

Our first time eating here and we loved it!! Everyone was so friendly and efficient. The food was to die for. I got the Australian waygu strip, and my husband the waygu burger and we absolutely loved it. Best steak I ever had. Everything was delicious and our group ordered a ton and we all tried everything. Everyone loved it. We will definitely be back.

Our filet was over cooked and the food was extremely salty to the point where I didn’t eat the mashed potatoes.

Food was great. It took awhile to see a server in the beginning, but it was a busy Saturday night. But once things got rolling it was great. It’s an expensive meal but nice for a special occasion out.
