What a cool place! Great atmosphere. Warning it's definitely dark in here but once your eyes adjust, it worth it. Very good vibes. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Good drinks. Would definitely recommend if in the area. Feels like you're being transported to nearly a century ago. So many options!

Loved this bar. Hundreds of whiskeys. The cocktails and bar tenders were top notch. Atmosphere was incredible - had to squint for a minute after coming in from outside but awesome speak easy vibe.

Great experience! I love the atmosphere, not to mention the huge drink menu and excellent service! I will definitely come back! Years later, this is still the best bourbon house in Dayton, OH. I always love every cocktail, and the bartenders are very knowledgeable.

We really enjoyed checking out The Century Bar. The cocktails were excellent, the bourbon selection was extensive, and we loved the vibe. The bartenders were friendly and helpful as well as very good with the cocktails!

Largest selection and menu around. Our party enjoyed: Whiskey Sour, Weller 100 Proof Traveler, Old Fashioned w/ house bourbon, and the Babysitter! Staff is very friendly and interactive. I cannot remember our favorites name, but she said she pushes her cats around town in a stroller lol, she was awesome, great sense of humor!

Had a fantastic time at the century bar! Atmosphere was sensual and inviting. Initially was indecisive of what to drink, but Molly and Grace came up with the perfect mixture. Great vibes. Definitely would recommend the paper airplane cocktail.

What a delightful evening! Molly was so helpful with information about the drinks and creates wonderful cocktails as well. A wonderful Dayton experience with a bar that shouldn’t be missed!

I stopped by Century Bar on a cold Tuesday night while in Dayton and had a great experience. I was just looking for a good bourbon and ended up with even better conversation. Nate and Grace were both easy to talk to and made the place feel welcoming right away. I really enjoyed talking with Nate about the history of Century Bar, the origin, and how they expanded locations in the 2020s. With Grace, it was fun hearing about her growing appreciation for bourbon and learning alongside her. As a traveler, it’s always nice to walk into a spot where you feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely welcomed. This felt like one of those places. Looking forward to stopping back in and continuing the conversations next time I’m in the city.
