The Century - Dayton

Expert mixologists create delightful cocktails in a stunning historic atmosphere that exudes a speakeasy vibe. You'll find yourself immersed in an extensive selection of whiskeys. Highly recommended!

Overall, I really like the Century Bar. They have an extensive selection of bourbons, although it seems that some of the more popular ones are often unavailable. The prices are reasonable. The reason I'm giving them 4 stars is that the staff sometimes come across as condescending toward customers, which negatively impacts the bar's reputation. Despite this, I’ll likely return to visit every now and then.

Best Bourbon Bar in the Midwest! Massive Bourbon collection and a Rotating Cocktail menu.

Prices are extremely, even egregiously high at Century. Coming from Cincy, everything on their menu is available at a better price here or in NKY at places like OKBB, Merchants Club, Wiseguys, and a dozen other bars... Service was just okay at best, pretty slow, not very friendly, we finished a basic store pick bottle (RRSP) and the bartender declined allowing us to keep the empty because of the law which, after consulting with multiple other very experienced bourbon bartenders (10–15+ years) as well as an attorney, is not accurate in the state of Ohio. Every other bourbon bar in OH and KY follows the protocol... Century needs a reality check here... I liked the old Century better... they are price gouging so hard now that I likely won 't recommend it to people anymore. Their bartenders also could benefit from very basic legal education rather than spouting baseless nonsense. It had a good run... I really wish it was managed better.

I've been meaning to visit this place and I wish I had done so sooner! The service is excellent and the drinks are fantastic. It's an upscale bar, not the typical dive. If you're thinking about giving it a try, go for it! You won't be disappointed!
