I was visiting from out of town and decided to go in and enjoy the karaoke on a Saturday Night. I walked in prepared to show my ID and pay for entrance. No one was at the door, but all of the bartenders and others at the bar looked at me standing with my ID and money, but no one would say anything to me. I smiled, put my money and ID away and walked into the karaoke room. Not a minute later, a guy who said he was owner came up to me and told me that I need to be drinking if I was going to be in there. ( No hello, no welcome to the club or anything). I told him that I just came in to enjoy and participate in the karaoke. and that I was not a drinker. (I never have been into drinking, especially every since I have been on alchohol and sugar restrictions because of my diabetes diagnosis). He said I would need to buy a coke then or I had to leave.. I nicely told him that this was unreallistic and that I would post a review. His response was "Go right ahead ". They really made me feel unwelcomed.

Pretty lame. Maybe it’s just not my type of gay bar. Just a bit slower pace here in Ohio. But the staff was friendly and of course the drinks were flowing. You know how gay bars are ❤️

This place was very rude and races! They made me feel very uncomfortable they didn't want to serve me and the owner ask me to leave after being kicked by a customer. I felt very unwelcome. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BAR TO ANYONE OF COLLOR OR ANYONE WHO SUPPORT BLACK LIVE!RACISM END WITH US! #ALLLIVESMETTER #BLACKLOVE #BLACKPOWER #JUSTICE #RACISM

An amazing place to hang and do karaoke! My spouses and I normally come here almost every Friday to sing our little hearts out. The DJ is super great and if there if somthing missing you want to sing he will help you out and add the song it is so cool!
I was here this past weekend and not a good time! Took them over 10 minutes to even ask me what I wanted to drink! The tall bartender with the dark hair, I think his name is Dustin?! pours drinks really heavy. I know some may find this nice since they get more alcohol for the same price. But you order a cocktail and the only flavor it has is vodka? If I wanted a plain old shot I would have asked for one! He also rubs me the wrong way. I’ve seen him talk to other customers and he is extremely rude! He’s fake, two-faced and will just say anything you want to hear so he can get more tips out of you! Sorry but that’s not the kind of bartender I want to be pouring my drinks.

Justin Free is the very best! He is so sweet, gentle and kind to everyone, all the time. It's no wonder people look forward to coming in and spending time at The Stage Door, they know and hope to see Justin. Not to mention, Justin is so cute and very handsome. Justin has a very sweet, gorgeous smile. Zack is also amazing. He is so friendly, gentle and kind. Justin and Zack make people want to come to the Stage Door. You feel like a friend when you are here. Not like just another customer.

Stage door is back on the map! Had a blast celebrating Dayton Pride and seeing the place packed with shows, dancing and social activity! Looking forward to seeing them tune in their entertainment and bar needs to tend to the crowds as they grow back to popularity! Drinks are heavy on the pours and easy on the wallet. If you havnt been here since 2020, do yourself a favor and head back! DJ Alvarez has really added life into the side room with lights, dancing and the best Kareoke in down!
