My go to location to get the best beer found in Dayton (outside the local breweries themselves). Meticulously curated selection and a great tap list to enjoy. And last but certainly not least a fantastic crew always sharp as a whip and quick with a quip!

My favorite bar in Dayton! Great beers on tap and great vibe. Plus, it serves as a beer store (they will even chill your purchase for you, to drink there or take home)!

First impression... A great place to unwind and have a beer. Wide selection of beer with local distributors. No food, but can bring food in to eat while drinking your beer. A must stop for the business traveler that loves beer. Walkable distance when staying downtown.

I cannot speak highly enough for this shop. So helpful. I truly feel like a VIP every time I walk in the door. They answer any question with an obvious love and energy for their passion of local brews. And the selection.... like Jungle Jim’s but without the hassle or drive. Truly a wonderful stop for the Beer Enthusiast 😍😍😍

Dayton loves beer. My wife and I finally made it down for a Wu-Tang Wednesday and we are super excited. The beer selection is excellent, and the build your own six packs of cans and bottles is a blast. The couch seating is comfortable and makes it have that home living room feel. Its not a stuffy uppity atmosphere at all. Love it.

I recently purchased a mix pack from their huge selection of singles. Sara was really helpful with picking out sours. I work in the beverage industry and I wanted to try a few things I couldnt find in my hometown of columbus, as well as some standbys. She knocked it out of the park.Unfortunately when I was checking out I had a payment issue and she held the items for me. When I retuned I was met at the door by Scott who was courteous and quickly retrieved my purchases. Thanks Dude!The entire staff was helpful, gracious, and masked. They also offer curbside pickup!All in all a great experience, even given my payment embarasment which was taken in stride. 12/10 would buy again.

10/5 stars if possible! The Barrel House is a cute little city bar. Tucked away right on 3rd street, they have many beers on tap and have created such a nice little hangout in Dayton. They have a nice size patio and always have some good music playing. The Barrel House has been a hub for locals since they opened 2 years ago. You’ll never not meet a kind soul gathered here.The owners are Dayton af! Sarcastic and funny with the best outlook on life and community.Will recommend this place over and over and over again! ❤️

LOVE THE BARREL HOUSE! Our first visit to The Barrel House after hearing it was great. Exceeded expectations, it is fantastic. Very cool vibe with a laid back atmosphere. Some great tunes playing and plenty of space to sit back and relax. The staff is extremely informed on all different kinds of beers, and helpful. Incredible selection as well on the walls, fun to look at all the different variants of brews. Put this on your list of places to stop and have a cold one. We will certainly put it high on our list, and be back!

Not only do they have an EPIC beer selection, but their staff are knowledgeable and friendly, totally happy to help you find the beer of your dreams.

Best beer on tap and on the shelf in Dayton. The owners and bar crew are top notch. Sara puts together tap lists that are out of this world amazing for all of their awesome events!

Review №90

This is a great upstart. I found the prices to be very competitive even better than some of the bars in the Oregon district. Its worth the walk a few blocks over from the Oregon district, come here and find better crowd then you would find in the Oregon district. Anyy time of day or the week. The only detractor or maybe a positive and some peoples book the place is a little smaller. You cant take a crowd with you but it is nice to have a small with more private setting. I would call this another positive for a great local drinking hole.

Review №98

The Barrel House is my favorite bar. Rotating craft beer on draft (many locally brewed) with plenty more available for retail sale. The owner and employees are engaged, knowledgeable and fun. The hand painted artwork and wood decor make for a warm coffee-shop feel. No shrieking televisions. The music is varied depending on the day, but excellent and chosen deliberately. The place is immaculately clean and the clientele is well behaved. A+ Check this place out if youre local or are visiting from out of town.

Just the right amount of hipster smugness to complement the second-best craft beer selection around. They love Dayton, love beer, and love their patrons!

Fun place to hang out with family, friends and new acquaintances. Wednesdays are the best night, the DJ was very, very good, mixing up the past with the new and the place was jumping. Friendly patrons brought in 6 pizzas from a local place and offered them up to everyone. Plenty cool! The beverages of choice were bountiful and served quickly.
