50 Best Bars in Dayton

“We held my daughter’s bridal shower at Joui Wine. Who doesn’t like wine and charcuterie? The staff were amazing and helped make the shower special. The charcuterie was beautiful and delicious. My daughter and I plan to be back to enjoy the beautiful space and awesome wine!“

“Awesome place to hangout with friends or have a date night. There is so much to do including axe throwing, arcade games, all kinds of different video game systems, board games, Foosball and other games. They have a full bar and pizza from the Pizza Bandit!“

“Everyone that works there is so kind. The atmosphere is perfect. Btw, they carry Diet Coke too!“

“A third space to meet for friends to play board games.“

“To take Century Bar from the top class whiskey bar, that didn't cut corners, that has genuinely put in thought to their menu, used fresh ingredients, and the swanky atmosphere... to this? Absolute travesty and it's a slap in the face to everyone that has owned or valued this bar for what it was. A part of Dayton history. The favorite old fashioned is made with syrup now and no longer sugar cubes. The favored whiskey sour? no longer made with egg whites and knock off cherries. So very sad to see another great piece of what makes Dayton unique, squandered to this piece of crap. You should be disappointed.“

“Friendly staff willing to accommodate a large bunch! Excellent food and wonderful service!“

“I'm not a huge bar person generally but I know Yellow Cab hosts a ton of events for charities I support and lots of more unique events. We went to give it a try for charity bingo last night and had a great time and even stayed for karaoke after. The bartenders were lovely, drinks were delicious and potent, the crowd was pleasant and welcoming. Just really good vibes all around. And we already love the Pizza Bandit. Yellow Cab is a gem and we will be back!!“

“Nice little place in the heart of Downtown Dayton, Ohio. Great music the day I was there. Nice people and the food was fantastic.“

“The Hidden Gem Music Club is an awesome place! Can't wait to play there again. Nice, big stage with a great sound man! Nice stage monitors and they even have one for the drummer! A lot of places don't. We usually have to bring our own to shows. Great prices and great atmosphere as well! Will definitely be visiting the hidden gem again!“

“My husband and I went for lunch today for the first time after seeing a local food bloggers video. The food was phenomenal!!! We had the Ruben poppers, I had the mushroom burger, and he had the cowboy burger. I can honestly say this was the best food we've had at a restaurant in a long time.

“This bar is just like walking into a "Cheers" bar. Everybody knows everybody and, just because I was Scottish and very friendly, I was treated like royalty. They even gave me a White Sail t-shirt. Wendy, the manager, was absolutely delightful, I'd go back any time just for one of her hugs!!“

“Great local Dayton hangout. Good people, good times“

“I have been coming to this place for many years. I know the owner personally he's a great person kind generous, honest the servers are honest and kind. Very helpful you're safe. If you're worried about that side of town, the doors are locked. You have to have a card to get in or out. they do lots of functions whether it's Christmas birthdays Fourth of July or someone like me or my husband is fighting late stage cancer fundraisers. I couldn't think of a better place to go have a cocktail sit down and maybe make a new friend have sure made a lot of new friends there and it's a great place to run into people you haven't seen in a long time. I love that bar the people the owner top-of-the-line.“

“Jumping the k9 is back every Monday Wednesday Saturday“

“Time to change your profile picture.“

“Great place great environment great place to have fun“

“Hamburgers served during Ohio State game today. Bartender had no other details. In the past free with drink purchase.“

“I'm a regular. Very lively bar especially later at night say 11 and later. Lots of bikes in warm weather it's a good riding destination or stop. Drinks are good and the patio is nice for smoking or hanging outside. It's the only bar in BeaverCreek that at 10:00 pm on a weekday there may be 10 people and at 2:00 am there's 30+ people. Great down to earth folks but not a good place to display an attitude. Very fun joint“

“$3 Drafts. Great service. Amazing bartenders and customers. Free HOT DOGS! what's not to love“

“Great place draft beer was lame.. but bartender smiled at me a lot kinda made me think she was into me.“

“So the past few times I've went there every bartender was great until tonight I encountered Jenn who was horrible. She was doing shots all night and every time we needed a drink we had to wait forever and it wasn't that busy and she had to keep asking the order back two and three times again. I don't know if she was drunk or high or what but couldn't get it together. Besides that some other overserved customers came in and started screaming about their phone while me and my friend where there enjoying our time and she got in my face and threw my friends phone in the trash and snached our drinks from us. Being a bartender myself she was totally out of line and a I gave her grave at first but after that makes me second guess coming back if she's there.“

“The Bartender Ashley was Welcoming and accommodating! (This Lady is On It!) Menu & drink in less than 30sec.!With a Smile and great multitasking, WOW!! GO GIRL! ! Makes ya wanna join.... Oh yeah, it's a Private Club!Good Area too! ???? Food was described as delicious ????“

“They have extremely limited food options, but they allow you to bring in your own food within reason. We brought in a Little Ceaser pizza and some chips and enjoyed the daily special on drinks.

This is local chill bar. The kind you walk to and walk home from. The kind of bar that you can get to know the regulars pretty quickly. I came in around 5 to ask some questions and the people at the bar immediately started chatting with me.

Parking is not the best but manageable.

The seating area is a bit small but homey.“

“Good vibes and a great time“

“Brittany is amazing love this bar great conversation and the best drinks“

“Went here for the first time pretty recently to play a few rounds of full rounds of pool, all is well but the first bartender we had was pretty rude honestly, questioning us oddly about the simple drink we ordered and still completely getting it wrong somehow, it's literally two ingredients, anywho the next bartender that came out shortly after that was awesome and redeemed the entire experience for me and had a pretty good night.“
