50 Best Bars near Kettering

“Fantastic bar tenders! Always fun and creative.“

“Great Bar tender and great drinks 🍸“

“First time there on Christmas day. They literally opened just for our Meetup event so there were only 2 bartenders with a lot of people so service was understandably slow. Not really room to dance, no pool tables and only a single dart board, but it’s a nice bar with very friendly people. Tried 3 different drinks, all were good. Will definitely be going back! I didn’t eat anything but was told the pizza was very good.

Parking: For how small the bar is, the parking seemed sufficient and spacious for backing out.“

“Me and my weekly lunch bunch of 6 ladies have this place in our regular rotation. The clam chowder is perfection with tender, not chewy, clams. Paired it with Boom Boom shrimp for the tastiest lunch. Just sorry it took me so long to try this place.“

“Food is typically just OK, there are certain items that are always good; the chili, fries, burgers, boneless wings and the Hawaiian pizza are all solid choices. Other items can be hit or miss. We've had both outstanding and horrible service while dining in, and many pickup order issues including no fries, no sauces, no celery etc when clearly shown or receipt too. Frequent mistakes can be frustrating. Otherwise we love the few items we know they do correct and they offer some things no other restaurants around so all in one place.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Always enjoy stopping by on Saturday afternoons! Holly is great and that guy Tim always makes me feel welcome. Cool place.“

“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!“

“Love this place, and the people.. You won't be disappointed.“

“awesome fellowship Neighborhood tavern“

“If you wanna get hammered for cheap and hustle a brother in pool with a cigarette in your mouth, this is the place. It's the perfect amount of dirt and grime, and you'll never feel alone when you're down and out. Highly recommend.“

“This is a laid back establishment. Cold beer and friendly staff. Honestly has a 'Cheers' feel to it. They make their own pizza's to order with about 4 ingredients available. They also have soft pretzels with cheese. I have been going to there for several years. During the week there are darts and people who come in after work to enjoy cocktails. They have a lot of steel dart boards, a soft tip board where you can 'play' against other bars via video and a pool table. On the weekends they have bands. I've seen many great musicians there!“

“Wonderful place and fantastic service. Great place to enjoy Football Sundays.“

“Great Food… Friendly Staff…Clean… Owners are Awesome … They did a Super job …everything on the menu is super…Not just your local bar food !“

“Relaxing and the pizza is great“

“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!!“

“Glad I found G & J's High Spot. Good food on Fridays, friendly people and fun atmosphere.“

“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.“

“it's a very fun place for a pool tournament or darts or just to gather around and have a couple of drinks with friends. there is a jukebox and it was banging music out all night we went in the evening and it was not too busy but as it approached later in the evening more and more people were gathering. there is an outdoor patio but they do not serve food. I was fairly surprised to have to be scanned for weapons before entering.. that made me a little leery... but I will be returning.“

“Jumping the k9 is back every Monday Wednesday Saturday“

“Great Food… Friendly Staff…Clean… Owners are Awesome … They did a Super job …everything on the menu is super…Not just your local bar food !“

“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.“

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

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

“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“
