The Barrel House

Possibly my favorite beer store anywhere I've been. Amazing staff that helps me make great choices from their fantastic selection. And their glassware is super cool. I always buy a new glass when I visit!

The best place in Dayton to relax like it's your home away from home. It's my favorite spot to work, read, draw, and talk with friends. Wednesday and Thursday are the only days I would recommend against conversation -- it gets pretty loud on those days in the evenings. The patio is great as well although the view leaves a little to be desired. The beer selection is always insane with some limited (and growing) cider, mead, and seltzer selections. There are many non-alcohol options as well from soda, CBD, mocktails, and more. Takeout is available. If there is a bottle on the shelf you're interested in they have a quick chiller that takes ~5 mins to chill the bottle. Check their Facebook for any special events and food trucks available. Their page is very active. Notable regular events: Wu-Tang Wednesday -- Old school rap from 6-close Thursday Open Mic Vinyl Vinyl Sunday -- Donuts, beer, and bring your vinyl to play on the house system. Funky Friday is on the "First Friday" of every month. Mike from Omega comes in and lights the place up! Wheelchair accessibility: Totally accessible from the front door

"If I could give a business the 'Golden Business Award for 2024,' although the year has just started, unanimously and without question, I would recognize @barrelhouse as the nominee and recipient. Justification: Throughout my ongoing observations and interactions over the past few months, I have noticed the following: The BH is committed to upholding prestige and fostering a warm environment that is most inviting and inclusive, where all people, unalike, may come to engage and socialize through collaborative small groups in the eclectic intimate space. This is most certainly a safe space that is cognizant of a variety of differences and perspectives of its customers. Any patron can come to gather and fellowship in celebration with friends or familiarity in pairs, small groups, or alone. The ambiance at the front, vibrant energy, and eclectic genre selection of musical assignments grab you and allow you to 'exhale' while taking a seat and making yourself at home. Assignment Best Understood Hands down! The counter staff, servers, and hosts are the most hospitable and easiest people to talk to. All of the wine, IPA, and drafts are different, and not a single one is like the other, which speaks to the creativity that flows throughout. The decor is simply splendid, and the music brings about a desire for purpose, change, growth, and action. Professionalism and customer service are through the roof! I've had the chance to visit twice since being here in Dayton, OH. And I have yet to experience anything short of an amazing time. I remain 100% satisfied with no negative remarks or feedback. So, I acknowledge and thank each and every one who contributes to the success at BH. As a business executive owner and operating trainer, I would like to personally recognize all the staff and management for the hard work that you do every day! So, your Barrel and Mortar serve as the #1 staple model business for which every new, current, and wise being of youth may come to find peace, joy, and happiness. That signifies everything that we all have worked for the past 20 years for our society and nation, and I can honestly say that your business exudes and exemplifies the 'King's Dream'; his purpose lives on and that's a fact, Jack! Oh, you betcha, bottom dollar I'll be back. Gracias, RBK Rex_24"

Great time and friendly atmosphere. Great service.

Expensive

Our favorite bar in Dayton. Warm, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Excellent choice of unique beers, wines, and canned cocktails. Often have food trucks. Cozy upholstered seating and also bar stools and tables. Themed events. Supportive of worthy causes with fundraising events. They greet us as soon as we walk in. Feels like home.

Good beer selection but not much for atmosphere. It's enjoyable enough for a quick out stop.

Friendly staff + huge variety of beers/ciders/non-alcoholic drinks
