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.

Great service from the hostess through paying the bill. Our Australian wagyu steaks were exceptional and the truffle butter was the best we’ve ever had! So glad we went, was worth the drive to Aurora.

Experience was great. We’ve been here several times before but never in the upstairs seating area. Great ambiance. Hostess and staff were friendly. Food was good but my steak was undercooked in the center. Other than that, the rest of them meal was delicious. We will be back.

We had a wonderful dinner valentines night. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately we had a 1 hour wait with a reservation, which was not great for our party of 8.
