The Barrel House

""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""

"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."

"it's too bright. climate control works too well -- the air is crisp and dry. they were playing ez-listening instrumentals of wu-tang clan tracks. a feeling of shame washes over you as you sit in a victorian tufted chair, edgy and buzzed from the 7.5% beer they serve -- you're drinking at the library. get out. run. don't look back. find a place that's dark, damp, and falling apart. where you can acknowledge the misery you feel about the world and the terrible cure you've chosen to numb it."

"This is my kind of place. Great beer selection, both on tap and to-go. Kind and welcoming staff. Thanks for a great experience!"
