“ The Van Buren Room is an intimate and wonderful little new bar in downtown Dayton. The bartenders are all very awesome, friendly and knowledgeable. I had a shot of smooth and strong Japanese whiskey and a delicious cocktail known as "Dusk to Dawn." Van Buren Room shares its location with the Belle of Dayton Distillery, and as such they have Belle's fantastic spirits to imbibe. And not for nothing, they have possibly the best restrooms in the city. ”
“ A true hidden gem. Everyone was friendly and very knowledgeable. So far, my favorite drink is the butter pecan old fashion. Also, check out the distillery tours on Thursday. ”
“ Cool chill cocktail bar. Interesting and novel selection of drinks on the menu. Had an old fashioned. Was great because it was made as a sipper. I didn’t have the urge to chug it like I usually do. Seemed to have a good crowd of regulars. Servers kept my water full. ”
“ Great, dark ambiance with sort of an industrial feel. Service was great and I was surprised to receive such prompt service on a busy Saturday night. The drinks are creative and delicious. Our party ordered a different drink each time, and after sipping all the choices, I can honestly say there wasn't a single one I didn't enjoy. Though my favorite might be "Truth & Knowledge." I'm looking forward to returning for more samples of the menu. ”
“ A hidden gem! Had never been here before. This is a cocktail bar attached to the Belle of Dayton distillery. You can try drinks made with their distilled spirits or any other spirits they may have. The drinks were great, the space was wonderful and it wasn't too busy! They have an outdoor seating area as well. As an FYI no food is available. We will definitely be coming back!!! ”
