TOLEDO, Ohio — A former east Toledo club known for hosting rock, rap and local music in the '90s and early 2000s is on the market for any entrepreneurs looking to revive the venue.
The former Main Event, located at 137 Main St. just south of Front Street, is listed for $625,900, according to Beth Rose Real Estate and Auctions' website.
The property is being sold by Loss Realty Group.
More recently known as Main St. Bar and Grill, the property was built in 1922 and occupies 13,786 square feet. It features four total bars including an outside bar and patio, a full kitchen, two stages, a VIP area and a lounge.
In it's heyday, the Main Event was owned by well-known bar Toledo bar owner Rob Croak, who also owned nearby the iconic music venue Frankie's and other clubs along Main Street.
While the venue was known for hosting local and less-popular names, it also saw its share of recognizable artists like Kidd Rock, the Flaming Lips, Henry Rollins, Vanilla Ice, The Verve Pipe and G. Love & Special Sauce.
Decades before being known as the Main Event, the property was the home of Wachter Shoes and the baby supply store Babyland in the 1950s.
