Bar Number 258: Main Street Tap, Wednesday, November 11, 2026
There’s Jim/Karl behind the wheel expertly guiding us to tonight’s destination, which is…
The Main Street Tap in Bradford, Illinois. This is our first stop in Bradford, Illinois.
There’s Karl doing his weekly doorman duty, let’s go in and let the night begin!
Wow, it’s a large and impressive space in here!
There’s the bar, let’s go and get settled in for the evening.
Kara was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and here she is serving me up the first Pabst of the evening. We’re off to a fantastic start in here!
There’s a bespectacled Karl at the bar with his first drink of the night. Always fun to have him along!
There’s the back of the bar and the six beers on tap back there.
Here’s a shot from the other end of the wooden bar.
I met Chuck over on the other side of the bar and he’s one of the owners of this bar. He said things have been going great in here and told me to feel free to take as many photos as I like in here, so that’s exactly what we’re going to do!
Here’s a nice gaming room over in this corner, if you feel lucky. Well, do ya…punk?
There’s dining tables opposite the bar and a seperate room in the back with a pool table, a dartboard and a golf game.
Oh and there’s Da Bears!
Chuck told us there was a nice beer garden outside, so let’s go check that out.
Wow, this is nice out here. Lots of tables and chairs and in the back is the stage where live music happens out here.
There’s Karl onstage performing, “I Got Them French-Fried Po-tater Blues.”
