Had gone for the wings. They were out of them. (On a Saturday? Before the baseball game??). Nachos and hamburgers and pierogi and walleye were hits with the family!

Not enough staff to make it worth. Never seated. Atmosphere was loud. Seating was hard picnic tables.

Drinks and service were great! I enjoyed every bite of my food. We got wings and fries with some of their homemade sauces. Great location next to the baseball stadium and a partial (but still good) view of the fountains on the river. Next time I'm in Dayton, I would definitely come back!

Walked in with some food for our toddler son. Told we couldn't bring food in which I totally understand. I said we'd toss it in the trashcan outside and a very rude waitress said we had to leave and we couldn't come back in. I've been here multiple times with 5 star results but yesterday's service is inexcusable.

This is the place to be any night of the week, they have trivia night, specials, live music, happy hour, etc. The chicken tacos is one of my fave entrées as well as the bills. Donut beer. I highly recommend checking out LOCK27 Brewery. They do get very, very busy, so be patient because the service is excellent.

Came in for a beer on 3 occasions. Bar tender remembered us from the previous visits. Cool live music (blues, bluegrass, right up my alley). Food was good. Outdoor seating, indoor seating and open air indoor seating is nice!

Visited Lock 27 while in Dayton this past weekend. Service was friendly and atmosphere was relaxed and causal. The drinks were refreshing and the food was delicious. Braised Short Rib Poutine was a 10!

Another great stop at Lock 27 brewing! If you are headed down I-75 it's a perfect stop for good food and craft beer. It's right by the minor league ball park so you have to watch game days!

Grabbed some shade and cold drinks just outside the Dragons Game. Although we didn't have tickets to get in the park this time, with the field so close and it was like we were at the game without the crowds. The house Bananza Cream Ale was delicious.

We were at that stage where we were so hungry we couldn't be nice. We were staying at the neighbouring hotel - Marriott so happy this was just across the street! The restaurant was super busy. Our waitress and shadowing waiter were very attentive, polite and helpful.Seems to be a great place for small groups to get together. Joe Waters was playing live. Nice background music. Calmed me while waiting for my dinner.Ordered the Mac & Cheese - sooooo good. Hubby had the buffalo chicken and it was tasty but super messy to eat.Happy belly. Great location. Great atmosphere.

The Taproom in Dayton is a great location, especially if you're going to the ballpark since it's literally right next door. But also a great spot for dinner with friends and family. I really enjoyed the vibes of this spot. It was lively, a fun busy Friday night. Our server Tyler was awesome! He was friendly, attentive, and just a fun guy to have around our big group. We drank pretty heavily and he stayed on top of our drinking needs! Street parking seemed to be the only available option, so you have to park and walk a bit to get to this location. The eats:The Poutine was fire. The flavors of this appetizer were on point. The house made fries are just awesome, so there was already a good base. The short rib gravy, braised short rib, and cheddar cheese curds were made to perfection. I loved everything about this savory plate of deliciousness. I just wish I had added a fried egg. Fish & Chips - I had really high hopes for this entree. The fish pieces were big and basically melted in my mouth. But unfortunately the beer battered part was really thick and did not go well with how good the fish was. I had to peel some of the batter off because it was so doughy. Our server said that the batter was just changed and it used to be light and crispy. They really need to change this recipe back because the current breading is awful. This is the only reason why I gave this review 4-stars. I ordered a side of the lemon vinaigrette for the fish and it was super good, really elevated the flavor of the fish. The fries were excellent. They have really good house-made sauces, I tried the sriracha blue cheese with my fries and it was bomb. Definitely try a few if you're into that. Caesar Salad was really good and flavorful. One of the better Caesar salads I've had in awhile. The beers:So many good beers on tap. The Banana one which was surprisingly really tasty and didn't have an overpowering flavor of banana, was a fav. I also really liked the Wolk, Kolsch, Creamsicle, and Chai. They offer flights, so you can try a variety of beers. Definitely recommend a flight. Overall, a good time with delicious food and tasty beers. I really enjoyed this spot and would definitely come back when I'm in the area again.

Since there is a micro brewery opening up every week in Ohio with there own flavors such as Hot Dog Water, Beet & Baloney, Trailer Park Tonic and Colon Carrot Cake, you better have some good food! The dry rub wings were outstanding. I was at UD arena and searched "Best Wings Near Me" and it was the first that popped up. Located next to the entrance to Dragon 53rd Field.

I was in town for business and we picked this place on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised by this spacious location. Between my co-worker and I we had most of the beers on tap and enjoyed almost all of them, which is rare for me. Bartenders were friendly and gave good recommendations. Food was tasty if not revolutionary. We were there on a Tuesday which is open mic night. We experienced a couple of musicians, few comedians, and a few things I can’t categorize. Overall 10/10 would recommend.

This brewery was so nice! It was really clean and trendy and the food was wonderful. We also had a fantastic and attentive bar tender who managed the crowd with such ease! He kept sharing samples of beers he thought we’d like based off our first oint order. We felt very taken care of. I definitely recommend the poutine and wings!
