50 Best Bars near Kettering

“Fantastic bar tenders! Always fun and creative.“

“The owner is nice and so are the bartenders. The drinks are great and reasonably priced. I like the out front patio.. in the winter it had heaters out there.. the bar is great but the people that go there everyday between 3 and 6 are douchebags. Avoid those times, and it's a great experience.“

“Sea Jax is a total winner! My husband and I had the best time there. We kicked things off with the clam chowder, so creamy and packed with flavor. Then, I went for the blackened salmon Caesar salad, which was just WOW. My husband opted for the blackened grouper sandwich, and he was in heaven. And let's not forget the beer—it was top-notch and really hit the spot. The vibe was so cozy and fun, we're already planning our next visit!“

“My boyfriend and I have been bringing our friends to Monday night trivia for a few weeks. The food is always good and the atmosphere is so cozy. We’ve sat with the same server each time and she is so good at her job. The fish sandwich is soooooo good. We will always recommend this place!!“

“Okay....It's about the wings. A co-worker had told me that these wings are above any in Dayton. My go to typically is Rooters...
It was Thursday after the gym at 7pm and I thought "Why not"....
First off the bar area is excellent and sports are on 3 large screens across the front.
I started with the Spinach Dip and it was prepared in a unique way and was delicious.
I opted of the garlic Parmesan wings (6).
The bar tender explained that Archers has won several award for the wings in Buffalo New York and I ca see why. The wings are incredibly large and meaty, the flavor was to form and delicious.
There was a variety of flavors and spice levels and I am sure they are equal in quality and size.
Roosters fell to #2

“The bartender is amazing and great music... The were on point for all Adult audiences...“

“This is the place to go to experience a variety of live music performances by local talent. I gave it four stars because the acoustics could be better. You might want to wear earplugs during some of the performances (not that the performances are bad; it's just that the sound bounces off the hard surfaces too much).

The Pizza Gem is now their in-house kitchen, and they have a wide selection of snacks to enjoy with your drink.“

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar. Not kid friendly, not intended to be. Don't bring kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's an old building, so odd steps here and there to get in and around. Not really wheelchair friendly.“

Parking: The parking lot is a nice size as well as the brightly lite street.

Wheelchair accessibility: If you ask they will accommodate your parking.“

“Steak Thyme is a hidden gem! I've known the family who owns this place for years and I'm kicking myself for not coming sooner. While they're famous for their cheesesteaks, they offer so much more. It's a fantastic sports bar with incredible food and service. We had a Bavarian pretzel that was the size of my head with two amazing dipping sauces, and we also tried fried banana peppers for the first time. They were incredible! Our server, Taner, was knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. She made great recommendations, including the addictive banana peppers we funneled! I even had a chance to chat with one of the owners, Jake. Turns out I know his older sister! (Another incredible human being) It's a family-owned business with a great atmosphere and even better food. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.“

“Love the selection of infused vodkas“

“Cool little hole in the wall bar.“

“My favorite sushi spot in Dayton. Their lunch specials are hard to beat and they have the best hot and sour soup I’ve ever had.“

“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.“

“Authentic local tavern with friendly vibe and good $“

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

“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!!“

“Stellar local neighborhood gem. Consistently delicious food, great service. Sit at the bar top for the most attentive service. Great burgers, amazing onion rings, fried pickles, and fries. Drinks are nicely poured and a great value. They have $1 beers and shot specials daily if that’s your thing. Vegan burgers are beyond meat and always juicy and delicious ?

Vegetarian options: Vegan burgers, and vegetarian options- lots of fun stuff to choose from. Their fried pickles, fried mushrooms, French fries, and onion rings are all vegan.“

“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!“

“This is Dayton’s hangout. 2 dollar tall beers with the possibility of crafts being on tap (revolving taps!)... this is 24/7/365. Not much for food but they have an arrangement with the mexican establishment across the street and others. Great service. The bar also sports a pool table and is home to an award winning Billiards team. Dog friendly patio.“

“Nice place and bar tentenderd [Original] Nice place and bar tentenderd“

“First of all, I was confused about where the entrance was, but once I got in, I was impressed. This is just the kind of place my wife and I like to go to. Deep dive, but very friendly. The bartender, Wendy, is great. Very relaxed and laid back. Good drinks!“

“Best place ever. I love the 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.“

“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 !“

“Whather celebrating a good day, or relief from a bad one. Shots found its way into heart along with it's streach in my time, and place in my life long ago. When I'd recently moved back from Cincinnati to be closer to my family. I'm much more of a 'hole-in-the-wall' kinda guy than a clubber. Here found good coffee, cold beer, and atmosphere built by friends. As well as a good friend in some of the best bartenders I've known outside of NY, & one a the few places I can still sit down, exhale, and destress to the sounds of laughter & Rock'n'Roll. -McCoy“
