Main Bar



The Main Bar in Sarasota, Fl is a sandwich shop that has been around since 1956! The Main Bar is a quaint little shop with the best sandwiches. I usually get the famous italian, warmed, with jalapeno mayonnaise. Sometimes the jalapenos are not so hot and sometimes they set your mouth on fire! It is one of their best sandwiches!

 The decor is nothing fancy, the walls tell a story of old Sarasota the way it use to be, mostly with circus pictures. Way back when Sarasota use to be a circus town. The Ringling Brothers use to make Sarasota their winter home. So when you are waiting on your sandwich (famous italian) you can peruse the walls and check out a little history.

The Main bar gets rather busy during the lunch hour so I suggest getting there around 11:30am. It will start getting busy about noon, and parking is just about horrible! The Main Bar is on main st (hence the name) across from the movie theaters, which has a parking garage right next door to it. So if you don't want to fight the main st parking, you can park in there. 

Happy eating!

I love te sandwiches at the Main Street bar. My wife used to work in the City Center building on Main street. We would eat there somewhat frequently.

Another sandwich place that I really love is Anna's. They have two places on Siesta Key and one on Orange Avenue in downtown Sarasota. I get the surfer sandwich. It is very tasty. Fortunately, I can walk to the downtown store from work.
