50 Best Bar & Grill near Dayton

“wonderful place to eat some good food and chill on the river“

“All the food is excellent but the chicken wings might be the best is the area. I have enjoyed wings from all around Greater Cincinnati but none are as good as Tickle Pickle wings. Service is outstanding and the place is very clean.“

“We love Ali’s!! The food is great. The atmosphere is relaxed, clean, and fun for all ages. And the staff is amazing!! What’s not to love there? Ali is a staple of our community and she puts everything she has info her business and her customers. That’s the best part.“

“My husband and I had dinner here before attending the Nate Bargatze comedy show on Sunday, October 26th. We were running late due to the Bengals game letting out, and the traffic and crowds in the streets were beyond chaotic. We called Bourbon's and informed them of the situation and they were so kind to hold our table for us. We finally arrived and we were greeted and seated immediately. The service, the food, and the ambiance were all excellent. We would highly recommend this place. It's a great location if you're attending an event at Paycor Stadium, the Reds Stadium, or the Heritage Bank Center. It was an easy choice being so close to the venue we were attending and we're glad we chose it!“

“This is a great place with great food and people“

“Great Service. Great Food. Coldest beer in town.“

“First visit. Got the special… best French Dip sandwich I’ve had. Baguette was perfection for this dish. Will be back.“

“We've been going for years & never disappointed. Once we had cold something & the Owner/Mgr had it made fresh & on the table quickly. Always a joy when we leave. Staff if all great!“

“Classic Americana and textbook friendly neighborhood bar-restaurant! Newtown Village Tavern pizza is everything LaRosa’s wishes it was and it is the superior “Cincinnati Pie” in every way. Cold beer on tap, sports on the tube. What more could you want?“

“Burgers are insanely delicious 🤤! Walking distance 😉 Belly happiness with a staggering amount of beer! ☺️😊☺️“

“Great bar, nice Bartenders an good Environment. Always a fun time!!!“

“Awesome hole in the wall away from the Mainstrasse. You need to check it out!!“

“Outstanding crew here does all they can to assure you enjoy your visit. Great drinks, excellent beer selection, and a marvelous menu“

“One of my favorite places to eatOne of my favorite places to eat and hang out! 🍀
We had the best time celebrating St. Patrick’s Day here with a great group of friends. The energy was fantastic — everyone was in green, the decorations were fun, and the pub was packed but still felt welcoming.

The food did not disappoint! We ordered the juicy burger with all the fixings (perfectly cooked and loaded with fresh toppings), a big basket of crispy wings in a delicious sauce, and the chicken sandwich with coleslaw that was fresh and flavorful. Fries were hot and seasoned just right. Everything came out fast and tasted homemade.
The service was friendly and attentive, even on a busy holiday. No wait for a table, which was a huge plus.

Whether you're coming for trivia night, a casual meal, or a lively celebration, Cloverleaf Pub delivers every time. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back soon, hangout“

“Highly recommend if you are looking for a great burger! We started with the mac and cheese bites which were great with the posty sauce. My husband had the 1788 burger, and I had the slider sampler. Everything was delicious! And the food was ready so fast! Our server was very friendly and checked on us often.
We chose this restaurant because it had a dog friendly patio. They brought a water bowl for our dog and even had dog treats in a mailbox! VERY dog friendly!“

“Customer service incredible Drinks delicious and the food great them Greens was theeeeeeee best 10/10 recommend“

“Nice neighborhood bar serving good drinks and pub style food. The food menu is limited somewhat but the taste and quality was very good. Happy hour went until 7 pm and they had live music on the weekend staring at 8 pm. Service was good but tight with the bartenders mixing drinks and serving the food from the kitchen. Lots of regular patrons present .“

“We visited for the first time and were very pleased. The bar is quite big with plenty of places to sit. They have a bunch of bar games too. We were there for a live performance by Tin Hat Cowboys and they were a great time. We also tried some food and it was better than expected. Overall we had a great time and will definitely be back.“

“They were so accomidating...owner was soo cool...awesome meade 4 my husband on tap and in bottles...will be back!“

“Met up with my siblings at the Indian Mound Cafe. The food is simple bar food but is great tasting. I had the Norwood salad. Everything a person would want on a salad without lettuce and vegetables. Their burgers, ruebens, and onion rings are great too!“

“great food and very generous portions“

“A great time with great ppl and music not to mention the drinks are on point !“

“Awesome place great food and drinks“

“Really cool vibe and nice strong drinks 🍹 cheers“

“great place great bar maid“

“yes I do the thing is good and the bartenders are very hospitality“

“Very nice environment and good chicken“

“Even having arrived mid afternoon on a weekday, one can see this would be a fun place on a summer weekend evening. Burgers, the short rib grilled cheese (sold out at the time), and the Greek spaghetti were recommended.

I ordered the spaghetti. I can see the appeal: bacon, green bell peppers and onions, and olives tossed in butter+olive oil and topped with parmesan. It was underseasoned, but still hearty (and nothing some salt and pepper couldn't help). Maddie, the server/hostess was lovely and engaging, attentive and helpful. What a fun place to visit, if you appreciate how difficult it must be to be in business since 1861.

Ample parking is available in the lot just across the street.“

“Food was excellent for everything but the bread pudding. It was overpriced, over cooked and tough. I definitely don’t recommend this as a dessert choice. Ribs and steaks were delicious and service great.“

“EVERYTHING. This MoFo deserves ALL the stars! Great wings, BEST FRIES EVER! - yeah, I said E V E R. The wedge salad tasted like they picked it from the Garden of Eden, made with the world’s best house made ranch dressing- they should bottle that Sh!T. & My drink was top-notch, served by great bartenders in a cozy brick pub, like if Cheers had a “study”. My entree was the Beef on Weck sandwich. All I can say is WHAT THE WECK WAS THAT?! So juicy! So delicious! The cooks in the back were raised RIGHT. Best kept secret in Cincinnati for sure. Stop searching for a restaurant and go here! I’d right this Pony ANYTIME (chef’s kiss)“

“The food was amazing the staff was wonderful . Definitely will be back“

“Great food great leadership would highly recommend“

“Great Food, Great Service, Good time every time! Welcoming environment!“

“fantastic place great food“

“Food was good. The service was excellent, but the alcohol was definitely diluted with water.“

“Woah. The signature chicken tenders are unreal. The fries were great and the view outside is classic. Bartender was awesome as well. Thanks guys for a great experience!“

“We love the atmosphere, good food and drinks. Staff is very friendly and professional. Clean and a nice place to go hang out to eat and mingle with others and YOU can control the music using the QR code provided at your table. Ms. Tina at the bar with those blue berry drinks are on point. This our new hang out spot :)!!!“

“They pissef me off tonight. Told me I had to leave and take my mom home.“

“We hosted a get together here and had a great time! Candace was so great to work with prior to the event and helped us organize drink tickets and a space for us for food. The day of the event, Brandy and Tommy (the bartenders) took great care of us and made sure everyone had a great time. This place is a hidden gem up on the hill with great staff, great bar selections, and a great atmosphere! We will be back.“

“I’ll be honest it’s not a bad spot to drink at and the owner has always been super kind to me. The food is decent and I’d recommend getting the platter after drinking on a night out if the friers are still on. I personally get the chicken tenders with nacho cheese and the occasional mozzarella sticks. Karaoke is fun and I’ve been a pool shark since mid-college. Rom even taught me how to play pool! Location was such a huge thing for me back then and it was a prime bar living in Aspen Pines. Now I unfortunately do not approve of certain things and numerous people who they chose to keep and allow to work behind the bar top. Especially with their track records. It is still a dive/pool bar at the end of the day so I just choose to avoid it at all costs now. As I was told as a little girl “birds of a feather do flock together.” which just means I’m just not in the same flock as them and I am A-OKAY with that currently. Plus there are plenty of other bars to attend in both Ohio and KY. It’s just a shame because I did really like it at one point in time. 💙 Just know if you’re down for a good time they do know how to party and I will always root for them at a safe distance. Much love. XOXO, KAT 💙😊💙“
