Belle of Dayton Distillery

Didn't have food, however the drinks and view are amazing. Very classically done view. Guy at the door explained how it works very well. Next time in Ohio will be coming back.

Great cocktails, knowledgeable staff and a nice patio. They give you a bottle of cold water for the table too. Check it out some evening.

I was really excited about visiting this establishment. I was born and bred in Dayton but currently reside in the State of Texas. I wanted to buy some liquor from this distillery. I was chatting with the bartender when all of a sudden he pulls out a pistol from under the counter and proceeded to wipe it down and then place in the back of his pants. Wait !! Was I threatening to him in some way?? Was this 63 y/o veteran wife Mother grandmother "threatening " oh yes and African American.. Threatening?? I spent 170$ at this place. I will NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN!!! Thanks for the memories

They use a hybrid copper pot still and their motto is "they make spirits they like to drink." And thank god for these guys - no offense bourbon belt but I was WAITING for someone like the Belle of Dayton to come in and shake up the game. Right now their signature products are their --Dayton Gin:DOUBLE GOLD MEDAL San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2017 - So popular and riotous was gin in 1700s Britain, Parliament passed five laws to beat it back. Gin's been glorified, vilified, waylaid and run out of town. Now, Dayton dry Gin, crafted in a small-batch, artisan distillery, shoots the notorious juniper berry full with a mutiny of flavors--rye, hops, lemon peel and coriander--steam-injected, vapor-infused flavors held captive in a four-plate copper column. belle of Dayton offers a revival of the spirit for the audacious palette. 46.5% abv (93 proof) Dayton Small Batch Vodka: (Platinum Medal 2015 SIP Awards,Silver Medal 2014 and 2015 New York World Wine and Spirits Competition)- We handcraft Dayton Small Batch Vodka from 100% corn spirits, artisan pot distilled in our 350 gallon copper still. We use naturally filtered, mineral-rich water from Dayton's Great Miami Aquifer creating an extremely smooth and clean Vodka. 40% abv (80 proof)Hell's Vodka®:Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. Deep inside the ninth ring of Dante's Inferno, the final ring of Treachery, is where Hell's Vodka goes to chill. Made from seven of the hottest peppers on earth, including one 800 times hotter than the jalapeño, comes this fiery vodka that may burst your flesh aflame. Drink if you dare. May Hell's Vodka wash your sins away. 40% abv (80 proof) All Natural Peppers- Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Smoked Ghost, Habanero, Jalapeno, Ancho, Belle- some settling may occurA tasting is only $5 bucks and you get to try all three. The vodka was smooth, but next to the flavor bombs of the gin and hell's vodka it was forgettable. The gin was super fragrant and one of the best I have had. It didn't have that sting at the back of your throat. Super excited to start seeing this around town. As for the Hell's Vodka. I LOVE SPICY 'TINGS! BRING ON THE HEAT! This vodka delivers on it's name. Obviously used for mixing. They suggested Bloody Mary's (obviously) but the neat suggestion was adding it to a margarita to get a kick of heat to combat the sweetness. This was my favorite product because I love habanero's and the habanero flavor notes came forward the most for me. We didn't get a chance to take a tour, looking forward to it next time. Be sure to check hours before you come - they are super wonky.

Now, it was a few years ago that we toured this place, so keep that in mind. The place was still pretty new when we did our tour. I still remember it was $10 for the tour, a tasting (of four, I think?), tasting glasses, and stickers (I know some people collect those, I'm a glass hoarder myself). The introduction to the distillery was interesting, giving the history of distilleries in the Dayton area and explaining their name and inspiration.When we went this was a small facility, but looked very shiny and fancy - the equipment was gorgeous. We got to smell and taste a wide variety of things, and then the seating area was cozy and comfortable, and provided with mixers for the liquors. I wasn't a huge drinker of liquor at the time, but what I tried seemed good. I'd love to go back and try again now that I drink a wider range of things, let me tell you.It was a comfortable, casual evening and a real pleasure. Hope to stop in again in the not too distant future.

Super cool bar!! The Belle of Dayton tasting room is now the Van Buren Room. It's a super cool bar with bomb craft cocktails. Many cocktails are crafted with their own Belle of Dayton spirits. It has very sexy decor that's a perfect beginning to a upscale night out or an intimate night cap. It's a nice change from the grungy Oregon District.

Go seek this place out. Yeah it's a little off the beaten path but damn it's worth it. Their small batch distilled spirits are just amazing. They have two vodkas - the Dayton Vodka is smooth as silk and the Hells Vodka is just incredible. Hot? Heck yeah!! But it tastes great too - it's not just heat but flavorful as well. I don't really like gin but their Dayton Gin is really good. Their Van Buren room is a cool space. Great drinks and atmosphere. Also take the tour - you won't be disappointed!

Quaint little bar that recently expanded their space to a large spacious patio. I absolutely recommend seeking these guys out for a unique Daytonian experience. They make their own Gin and two types of Vodka. I got to try a couple of their homemade gin cocktails (Negroni, martini) and they did not disappoint. Go check them out!

The drinks here are fantastic! They have something for every taste preference and their Gin is so good. The space is also really cozy and has a great vibe, highly recommend to anyone!

Went two night in a row while in town on business. Great craft cocktails. Loved the "Woodsman" and I also had old fashions. Service was great and the atmosphere perfect. The patio was nice too.
