I love the ambiance and they have quite an extensive menu of bourbon that I haven't seen since I was in Lexington. The cocktails are fantastic and great staff. I love being able to take my friends from out of town here.

Bartender was amazing and so were the cocktails. The whisky list is pages long! I went with New Riff Balboa Rye and Chicken Cock.

This is a nostalgic place. It reminds me of an old speakeasy. The cocktails are really good. Bar staff is great. Parking on the street. Give yourself time to peruse through the extensive list of spirits to try. A great place to try bourbon or a rye or scotch before you plunk down bucks on a bottle.

Century is a fun bar downtown! They do check your ID before letting you enter. The layout is one large dining area with plenty of space to stand between the dispersed tables. There was an extensive booklet with tons of creative drinks for all kinds of liquor. You have to order at the bar and wait for your drink but they are quick with it! Definitely a great chill hangout place!

This place is amazing! The decor is beautiful, we were captivated as soon as we walked in. The bourbon list is insane! If you are a bourbon fan you need to stop here. They also have a large cocktail menu that has wonderfully made cocktails like the Bees Knees. Would stop back here in a heartbeat on our next visit to Dayton.

Was visiting in Dayton, wanted to go to a bar with a good bourbon selection. The locals suggested this place. Wow!!!! I've never seen so many different bourbons in one place in my life!!!! Plenty of bartenders working the huge bar as well as servers on the floor. While I was at a table with a group, I went to the bar to get my bourbon just so I could look at the variety. Definitely worth a return trip if back in Dayton

The place really comes alive after 9pm, and there's never a line. The bartenders are always checking to see if you need another drink, and they're always happy to chat. If you're looking for an upper-end cocktail bar with a unique atmosphere, Century Bar is the place for you. I highly recommend it!

Overall: Century Bar is a fantastic cocktail bar that I highly recommend. It's a great place to enjoy a drink with friends or on a date.

MUST GO -- If you like Bourbon and Whiskey First trip to the century bar. What an amazing selection something for everyone if you like bourbon whether you are an expert or novice. I only ordered 1 drink, another patron recommended the eagle reserve as a great bourbon that did not break the bank. She was right, I went w/ a 2 oz pour and it was worth it. I went with a large party and there was something for everyone and everyone enjoyed their selections. The are was nice and open and a great place to hang out and converse. The service was good and fast. The bartender as expected knew their stuff and helped as needed. Real cool spot.
