"Gave 104 Main Public House a run for the first time last night 3/7/22). Building is nice. Great location. Clean inside. Overall a good, basic watering hole; nothing too special. Whomever prices the spirits, however, should consider the community and the customers likely to visit. I am a regular drinker of Blanton’s. I buy it in Maine for $52 a bottle. I’ve had it at higher-end places for about $18 a glass (two finger pour, neat), but again, at high-end, waterfront establishment. 104 charges a whopping $20 per glass (see attached bill). As you can see, their charging system is a little strange. I called back and asked for a better explanation and, in short, they charge $7 ea. for a “family” whiskey then another $13 ea. for Blanton’s because it’s “top shelf” — so $20 a glass. I don’t understand the $4 discount on my tab, but it did bring it down to $18 a glass, which, again, I would probably not make a fuss about at a high-end establishment. But at a local, grab a drink after work pub, I think they’ve out priced themselves. I will say that the service was great (I don’t mention names without permission in today's world) and, although I didn’t eat, the wings looked tasty. But I don’t sit at the bar to eat! And, unfortunately, I doubt I’ll sit at this bar again to drink because it’s too expensive for my wallet. I am all about supporting small business, but not when it negatively impacts my wallet. (Even though I bought a $35 hat! They must have bought the blanks at Gillette Stadium! I suppose in my case, it’s best to drink at home and shop Amazon!"
