5th Year for Century Bar- Bourbon Reviews Best Bourbon Bar List

July 26, 2017 By Lisa Grigsby

For the fifth year in a row, The Century Bar has been named to The Bourbon Review list of Best Bourbon Bars in America.  They named 99 bars in America who take their Bourbon obsession to another level.  They are easy to spot because they usually have to expand their shelf space to accommodate 100’s of bottles of Bourbon, feature multiple cocktails that show off Bourbon’s wide range of flavors and take pride in educating their patrons about the basics of brown water.  As one on only 2 bars named in Ohio, Century Bar holds this title along with being named “a world-class whiskey joint” by Tasting Table in January of this year.  They called our local bourbon bar,  ” the Midwest’s best-kept boozy secret, this distillery-turned-saloon has been charming those in the know since 1862.”

Here’s the write up from The Bourbon Review:

Century Bar, Dayton, OH: No TV’s.  No jukebox.  Just 115 Bourbons and over 300 whiskies total to choose from while you listen to music from the 1930’s.  The home of the former Kette & Sons Rye Whiskey Distillery, Century Bar also regularly holds blind tastings.

 

Cheers to the crew that is constantly serving up the best cocktails in town and educating the Miami Valley’s about Bourbon!

You can visit The Century Bar at 10 S. Jefferson Street, across from the RTA Hub.  They are open seven days a week and just a heads up, they don’t serve food, but also don’t mind if you order in a pizza.

  • Monday – Saturday 3:00pm – 2:30am
  • Sunday:6:00pm – 2:30am
