51 Main At The Bridge

51 Main at the Bridge was born from an idea that a group of Middlebury College students had for improving social life at the College. They envisioned a sophisticated, international social space where people of all ages and all walks of life could come together for conversation, good music and art, and with a feeling that was separate from the College.

The name was created to not only speak to our geography – at the end of the bridge – but also to speak of the place as a bridge between town and college, a bridge for artists, both musical and visual, to present their talents to the public and a bridge for personal growth through shared experiences.

51 Main is open to all who want to experience the beautiful setting, great food with an international flair and music and art that changes in style and presentation regularly. Live music is available nearly every evening Thursday – Saturday. Our mission is to attract many different musical genres, never falling into a niche by type of music. Art exhibits include young artists as well as professional artists with exhibits changing monthly. We pride ourselves on the diversity of food, drink, music and art.

51 Main at the Bridge is informal yet sophisticated. It is open to all ages and families are encouraged to come and share the fun together. No reservations are required and there is never a cover charge.
