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.

Went here with my wife for our 40th Anniversary. The place was pretty much perfect. The service was fast, attentive, accurate, and friendly. The food just could not have been any better. My Felet Mignon was very tender and cooked just right and the asparagus was different and awesome. My wife lover her lobster tail and the mango chili green beans. Desserts were veey good and the coffee was just right. We went a little early (5pm) so the crowd was sparse. Next time i will go a little later when it is hoppin. It is not cheap so it is only a couple times a year thing for us, but we WILL be back. Also enjoyed the historic town and shops.

Great service, Ashley is exceptional and topnotch at what she does, as well as the additional staff who helped her moved things along. Oysters on the shell, perfect! Mussels were delicious, as were our entrées! Third & Main is an asset to the Cincinnati tristate. Thank you for your hard work. Well done.

This is our second time and somehow they got even better than we remembered! The food is delicious. The last time we were there they were doing construction upstairs and we got to sit there today! It was beautiful. Can’t give enough stars but they deserve 10,000!
