I live out of state but when I visit I always make sure to stop by. Love the vibe, selection and staff! They're so knowledgeable. I let them pick my flight and I'm never disappointed. Plus there's another Gus here!!

So there's no food that i know of. There's no better tap house in my opinion. Atmosphere is everything and the beertenders are everything. Highly recommend this place!

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-closeThursday Open MicVinyl 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

Positives: Cool and eclectic place, with a great selection of wine and craft beers. They don't have a kitchen, but you can bring food in. Staff is really nice. Negatives: The "open mike" night is a total loser. It is mostly comedy, and if you like the worst comedy ever making sophomoric jokes about cum and creampies, or listening to an addict going on about his prison time, it might be for you. It's too bad, because there is a lot of talent in Dayton, but who wants to sit through that for two hours?

A small space, but worth checking out. The staff is friendly, and knowledgeable. They go out of their way to make people feel welcome, and comfortable.
This restaurant is very good. Sitting in the patio area is a must. Great sunset if you sit inside the restaurant it's very loud cocktails are awesome. And every dish is delicious.Dietary restrictions: everything here is gluten-free

Many beers and ciders on tap and they will let you taste first. The selections were unique, but some of the options I tasted weren't so good... Maybe a little too wild with the flavors? The picks we settled on were just OK. The staff were great though and the place has a lively and cozy vibe.

Absolutely great place for virtue signaling! Perhaps the best in all the city. Whenever I am feeling especially ostentatious and just need people to know how hip, woke, and with-it I am, I always go here for a craft beer and then enjoy it outside where everyone can see me!
