Old school vibe with TouchTunes. We played country and fit right in. Great place with good people as we visited from Ohio north.

I've been here twice and had two very different and pleasant experiences:1 - After party for the gem city roller girls - packed party time!2 - Weekday night - quiet, low key, empty, conversational bartender, good CD juke box.Some (maybe useless) tidbits:1 - The place doesn't have any draught beers (big bummer), but stocks an impressive selection of specialty bottle brews.2 - Don't bother playing the playboy pinball game. The chutes let too much through, like the ladies, and you always end up losing your balls.

This is a great fun bar with lots of bar games. Free shuffleboard is great. Ample pool tables with is very rare to find. Bowling arcade game, only one dart board though, and a punching bag game. Plenty of tables and seats which is nice to find at a bar. Friendly bartenders with great local beer choices. Full bar. They got rid of their old-school juxe box so dollars only or the app but still lots of musical choices. Good setting too with lots of rich wood and bars/deli/pizza nearby to make an evening of it.

This was my fav bar to go to in downtown Dayton! It's an old school country bar feel with a younger crowd. It's usually slow weekdays which I love. Plus my favorite bartender Michael is always the best and so kind. I think it's an underated bar and now that I left I will admit it.

Great bar and friendly staff. I enjoy the laid back atmosphere and the ice cold beer. They have a jukebox, pool tables, darts, pinball and an old school bowling game. They do not have a kitchen but you can get food from local places delivered to you.

The Belle is a great place to chill. Tons of beer varieties and plenty of liquor. The staff are awesome and pour great drinks (shout out to Michael and Brian). Plenty to do including pool tables, pinball (the Playboy machine cheats, though), and a sweet ass old school bowling game. The patrons are friendly and diverse. All kinds of folks hang out here, so anyone from cowboys to hipsters to corporate zombies will fit in. The only downside I see is there is no designated patio space. But if you smoke, they'll let you chill by the back door with your drink while you puff. Other than that it's a great place. Beautiful interior, cool staff, and always a handful of cute girls there on the weekends.

This is a nice enough kinda old-school little bar. Basically you go here primarily to drink, as they don't have food (other than bags of chips) or live music. If you want to eat you have to go a few blocks up the street to Brixx; if you want to hear live bands you have to go next door to Canal Street. Southern Belle does have a jukebox, pool and TV with limited channels, i.e. some sporting events might not be carried. On the plus side, the bottled beer selection is very good, and the bar staff are nice people and snazzy dressers. There are big tables (again, makes me sad they don't serve bar munchies as that would be the perfect place to plop a plate of skins). It's a cool place for a pre-party or afterparty, especially if you're going to or coming from Canal Street, but with no food or live show it could probably only hold my attention for about 2 beers.

Great, expansive divey bar. Both artisanal and low cost beers. Became my go-to during a trip to Dayton.
