“Came here for lunch on the day of the eclipse. Workers were welcoming and playful, truly a joy to talk to them. After ordering, the food took a little bit to come out considering the low amount of people in the building but was ultimately worth the wait. My partner and I both got the BBQ bacon burger with fries and it was seriously incredible, especially considering the low price. No complaints about anything. A really charming place overall.“

“"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"“

“This place is awesome! It has become a go-to hangout spot. I have to highlight the mocktails! A lot of my friends don't drink, so it's great that they have so many mocktails to choose from. I love the fact that you can bring in your own food, and I love that they have so many games to choose from! You can bring your own games, too. You can even hold a mini d&d session here as long as it's not too packed and you're not hogging a table for too long.The bartenders here are really nice, too, and the noise levels are exactly what you want. They have outdoor seating, too, which is always a bonus in the warmer months. The clientele they attract is also super warm and inviting, so I have never once felt uncomfortable in the establishment.“

The atmosphere is incredibly sophisticated, warm and inviting. However, more than anything they are NOT pretentious at all.I had the the grilled cheese sandwich and the Panna Cotta. I recommend ??????Karen and Rose were very the MVP’s. I’ll be here again and this time I’ll have a polo ???“

“I decided to patronize De'Lish Cafe. I ordered their garlic and parmesan wings. I thought I had asked for macaroni and cheese and greens, but somehow, it was overlooked, and no one offered to add it to my order. Needless to say, I was disappointed. My daughter's fried fish meal was good, and the lemonade was tasty. We got loaded steak fries from The Taco Shop. They were good. I ordered a drink as well. It was nice and strong, worth the price. All in all, a pleasant experience.“

I wish there was more seating here on a rainy night because place was packed during the Dayton game, but we had a great time anyways. The options for drinks are great and my friends got lots of fun mixed drinks from the bartender when asking for a surprise. They were very tasty, and so was the food! Really enjoyed the tater tots!Parking: lots of available parking that wraps around the buildingKid-friendliness: kid friendly mom and pop establishment, but i would say more Sunday through Thursday all day and Friday and Saturday anytime but evening and nighttime because it tends to draw an older and more college aged crowd“

It's a great looking place, no smoking, great pool tables, good people.. cleaning up the night crowd.. and trying to be all around better for everyone. Not that it was bad before, but they want to get the place a little bit classier, to match the new look and money they poured into the place, could end up being THE PLACE to go once everyone takes notice.. they even have pull tabs and are getting Keno shortly.“

It was great supporting this lgbt haven and we will definitely spread good word and visit again when passing through!“

It's about $3 for a strong pour. This is a place to just drink and not get any fancy cocktail. It's cheap, so you can drink more. Many of the regulars will be playing darts, while others will be playing pool. Better than most strip mall bars. Staff is nice. The regulars know how to have a good time.“

“The food, the service, and the pricing were quite good. Regarding the bill, I was very surprised by a "pop tax" of 5.75% on an ice tea and a similar "alcohol tax" on a bottle of beer -- in addition to the usual sales tax. What in the world is this? There's no such tax imposed by the state of Ohio. Also had a margarita during happy hour at a reduced price, but my wife had a "virgin" margarita (no alcohol) and was charged the regular full price. ???“
