text: I originally gave Main Ingredient two stars based on my initial visit. Now that I have been several more times, I'm inclined to up it one star to three. \n\nMain ingredient, like so much in Phoenix, is nestled inside a historic bungalow. I love this style of restaurant or bar so much and it kind of makes me feel like it's Phoenix's thing. For the home bars, this is one of the cleaner ones. It's actually spotless, and they feature nicer charis, tables, etc. than most of the rest. Call it upscale, or comparable to Roosevelt if you will. \n\nFood here is good, I especially enjoy the Coronado Coney, a Schreiner's all beef hot dog with an awesome nut brown ale mustard and a locally made bun. The Red Goat is exceptional if you are in the mood for a salad, with goat cheese, strawberries, mixed greens, and a vinagrette. The standout here, though, is the Green Chile Mac N' Cheese. An absolute artery clogger, but phenomenal from start to finish. \n\nIt's hard to fault The Main Ingredient for it's choice of music, too. The mix of 80's and 90's hip-hop fits the atmosphere so well and really gives off a house party type vibe. \n\nWhat's keeping this place from reaching 4 or 5 stars? The same thing that got it two stars from me initially, the shitty selection of beer. If you're going to call yourself an \"ale house\" then please consider stocking a really great selection of really great beers. The hipster beers (old style, schlitz, pbr) don't do it for me. I have taste. Please cater to it.
