The Dayton Taphouse has recently sold and is under new ownership. The restaurant has continued to stay clean and the seating options have not changed. There is a new staff and we have noticed a slight decrease in the attentiveness and friendliness with this staff. Today I ordered water (they were out of Dragon's Milk beer) and a French Dip sandwich (no onions). The sandwich was delicious. The meat was tender and well seasoned. The cheese was perfectly melted. The toasted yet fluffy bread complemented the sandwich perfectly as did the rich, umami au jus. I am glad that under new ownership the food quality has not gone down and I look forward to my next meal at The Dayton Taphouse. read more

I am working in the Fernley area and met friends here today I haven't seen in over 20 years. It was imperative that I say how amazing the food and service was today. Friends had some BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, and I tried the Italian Sausage sandwich. We all raved at how great our meals were. This was my first visit to this place, and if I was local, they would definitely get more of my business. I loved the inside seating and ambiance of the Dayton Taphouse. Mix between rustic and modern. I appreciate finding local Spots like this that excel at what they do. My friend was given a recommendation to come here, and we were all happy with the choice. I just have to say the place was great and the food and service were excellent. read more

I've been here twice. Good, fast service. Good food. Great atmosphere. I will be coming back!

Had the tri tip and fries. Outstanding! loved chatting with the bartender and his enjoying the atmosphere.

I know this place had a mixed reputation in the past, but under Jessica's ownership it's a completely different experience. She's brought new life, care, and attention to every detail. It's become our go-to date night spot, with great food and an atmosphere that truly feels welcoming. read more

First time visit but will definitely be back. Food is great and beer is cold. Baseball on TV. Service was great. 10/10z

Super food and service! We were the only ones in the place for a while which let us chat with the owner Chris and our waitress, Sydney. Chris had GREAT stories about the bar and area. The chef had just made some tomato bisque for Chris to try and we also got a taste.....the best I'd ever had, even better than mine! They have a steak house menu for Fri., Sat., Sunday for which you order your steak ahead via email. Can't wait to try as the steaks are cut the day and delivered by the butcher. So if you want good food and service with a smile and some great Dayton history, stop at Dayton Tap House read more

I was visiting my sister in Dayton and she took me to lunch at the Taphouse. What a great place! I love the building! Chris seated us and gave us an amazing history lesson regarding the building, so interesting! I had the caprese BLT and it was delicious! The fries were fresh and hot! My sister had the fish and chips and she loved her meal. My niece had a cheeseburger and said it was so good! Our sodas and water were always full. Service was great and I can't wait to come back! read more

Excellent service, owner is very nice, they're knowledgeable and proud of the buildings history which is great, and the food was great too!

This is a wonderful and comfortable place to eat. The food is really good and all of it is homemade. The new owner Jessica and the co-owner Mary are so sweet and welcoming. The prices are reasonable. Jessica is really adding some nice changes like karaoke and the pool table. She has some great ideas for the huge outdoor space. We will eat there often. read more

It was our first time at the Dayton Tap House. Our family loved the charm of eating at Dayton's oldest Saloon. It was originally built in 1840 but rebuilt after a fire. I ordered the flautas and the burger. It was a hit. Next time I would be curious to try their dessert. I felt like a local visiting this restaurant. The service was little uncoordinated but we were not in a hurry so it was fine. The staff couldn't be nicer. Would highly recommend. read more

Came here on a spontaneous visit to Dayton just cause I've never been there. Super casual taphouse where it seemed like locals all knew each other. The food took a while to come but I was ok waiting in the cozy restaurant. They didn't have vegetarian burgers when we went due to some shipping issues. The waiter said he could ask the chef to cook me up a vegetarian mushroom burger and charge me 75% of the cheapest burger they had. Honestly the burger wasn't bad but it was also just sauteed mushrooms instead of the patty. When it came time to pay, he couldn't find our check and then just put in a random burger for mine after he repeated something along the lines of "Oh right you had the custom burger." He then just told me a total and I didn't see what he charged me for until after he printed the receipt. I'd come back again but I'm docking stars for the slow food and then the switcharoo when it came time to pay. read more

Awesome ambiance (bar scene from The Misfits was filmed here), really good food, great local folks...what else do you need?

Visit The Dayton Taphouse last week. I ordered a beer, that none of the servers or owner could pronounce. The owner, Chris I believe is his name, got all giddy. Starts telling me a story about someone ordering a beer then didn't want it. Then gave me a beer he had on ice that was poured, I don't know, hours before.... Served this beer to me the spun the glass on the bar. #1) don't keep beer on ice hoping your next customer will order it. #2) Don't spin a beer or food in front of a customer #3) if you have an extra beer, don't charge your customer full price for it. I've tried to support this place for years, but I am done. This was the most disrespectful time I have ever had at any establishment. My mistake, I should have said something... but I WILL NOT BE BACK! Oh, he's trying to start a steakhouse, buyer beware. His best chef is gone, I wouldn't order carrot sticks here. read more

I have eaten ( and drank her a few times) and it was never a good experience We either waited way too long or excepted a subpar meal I would skip this restaurant until they actually change hands and change their business plan so that customers and food are equally important. I live in Dayton so I really want another good restaurant read more

What a great spot to stop for a meal! Came for a late lunch and were met at the door by the friendly owner Chris. He gave us a rundown of the daily specials and we opted for the Hawaiian burgers with fries. It was all made from scratch and generous portions! My husband wanted an Arnold Palmer and Chris concocted one for him himself. The restaurant is located in a historic building with lots of interesting things to look at. We'll be dropping in again next time we come through Dayton! read more

The owner greeted us upon entry and then introduced us to his "bartender"/waitress. She didn't have a total grasp on the ordering system and when she asked him for help he was too preoccupied to be pulled away from the golf tournament on tv. Food took entirely too long to be brought out, the chicken wings I ordered were atrocious, fried way too long and tougher than jerky plus they were really small. My wife's order was incorrect, and when confronted there was no solution to remedy the situation. Lastly the price of everything is a bit extreme. I had two beers that were $9 a piece, not too bad but to charge us $9 for a shot that my wife had, no thanks. And the wings I had were $36 for 24 wings, $1.50/wing, not bad but to be the wings off a quail, no thanks. Lastly, the owner made it very clear he wanted us to let everyone know about this place so I'm giving yall a heads up. read more

Went back to try again since I heard there was a new chef! For starters all we wanted was a to-go order. We wanted 2 orders of nachos, one with chicken and one with tri-tip and one order of jalapeño poppers. When ordering he kept mentioning cheese fries ... and we had to correct him 3 times of what we wanted. There was only one other customer and it took about 25-30 minutes to get everything. We checked our food once we got home to find out that we got one order of tri-tip cheese fries (was supposed to be nachos) and one nachos with just cheese and no chicken ): Jalapeño poppers were good. Tri-tip cheese fries were okay. Plain nachos were okay but the chips were pretty good. Sadly disappointed again since this place has so much potential read more

We were just passing through and decided to stop in Dayton for lunch. On the outside, this place is very inviting, but once inside it felt even more welcoming. The service was outstanding and both the owner and new Manager/Chef came to say hello. We ordered the Short Rib Flautas, Blue Burger and the Apple Cobbler. Everything was very tasty. Overall, it was a great experience! Looking forward to going back soon. read more

So many improvements needed, there is always a staffing issue. The business is ran in a manner that you can tell is paycheck to paycheck. The food is alright but you can wait hours to get it. I sat down with my four year old to grab dinner one night we sat at 6:50pm ordered around 7:15pm and we got our food around 9:30pm. This was very hard with a family and the owner just kept explaining over and over again how quality takes time. We were here for almost 4 hours with 2 other tables in the restaurant. read more

Fantastic food and great service It was a very pleasant experience and our party had a fantastic evening read more

My wife and I had a Valentine's Day lunch and it was great! She had the tri tip sandwich and I the French dip. We also got homemade clam chowder in a homemade sourdough roll and a salad. Everything was delicious and we will be going back for dinner. read more

We've been here a handful of times and the food is always great! Highly recommend it for lunch or dinner.

The one person on staff was flustered and rushed despite there being few people in here. Stopped in for a drink and to get my highway 50 passport stamped (they have the sign in the window) but after looking for their stamp decided they were too busy to care and suddenly started saying "I don't know what that is". So yeah apparently they don't do that any more. I wouldn't even bother stopping in this echoey empty bar that has seen better days. read more

We had dinner with some friends on Saturday and it was probably one of the best dinners we ever had! Now mind you we've been to some fabulous restaurants in our lifetime and this was at the very top! New chef who came from Tahoe. You will love the food and service! Marsha & Barry read more

Such a great old time tavern! We discovered it when checking out historic Dayton. Also a great place to stop and get your highway 50 passport stamp! The best unique burger options around. read more

The food was great! Prices are cheap given that the food quality is impressive for this small town!! (Would compete in a big town too) I ordered the chili cheese burger with fries and I was pleased! The chili is made in house and tastes fresh and the portion on the burger is Just enough where it's not too messy. The ranch is also made in house and is AMAZING. The fries that come with the burger (other side options available) are salty and delicious. The service was above and beyond. Christina served us (table of 2) and was super sweet and accommodating. She was personable and easy to talk to which made for a memorable experience as am visiting from out of state. She even went out of her way to take pictures of my grand-mother and I. The vibe was great. I felt safe and welcomed. It has been preserved well, and still has an old town saloon feel with a functional bar. Parking is adjacent to the saloon and I also noticed outside seating! Overall, I rate this place a 5 star experience because I'd definitely go back and absolutely recommend to a friend! read more

The food was excellent and the service was great. Very clean bar and restaurant. Very cool building. Would definitely recommend eating there. read more

Tasty food and great people. Always interesting menu, try something new every visit, you'll get pleasant surprises!! Service staff is friendly, and the atmosphere and decor are classic old western establishment. Customers sharing stories gives it a neighborhood feel, and when it's cooler, sitting outside is great!! read more

They have to be open, went there today and they were closed due to no cook. Very disappointing.

Went to Dayton Taphouse for the first time for lunch yesterday. Food was good and the staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. Chris the owner seems to be really trying to make the place better. Beautiful day out on the porch. The fries were perfect, hubby said his chicken sandwich was good & I loved my wedge salad special ordered to my liking. We'll definitely be going back. read more

The new Steakhouse experience was very good. The new chef, Joe, did a great job. Will be back. Service is excellent and dessert was too. Thank you! read more

My brother, whom is new to the area, turned us on to this place, and I am sorry it took so long for us to get there! The owner is very friendly and talkative, and the staff is great, too. After my first bite of their Wild West Cheeseburger, I wondered why the place wasn't filled with people, but it didn't take long for that to happen! Their Twinkie jalapeño poppers are out of this world good, and all the food we had was delicious! We highly recommend this restaurant and will be regulars there from now on. read more

On a Sunday night in Dayton, there are not a lot of options and on happenstance, we found the Dayton Taphouse. What an awesome find! We sat out back and were instantly in love with the atmosphere. Alina, our server, was so accommodating and friendly. Another gentleman (the owner we think??) was incredibly attentive and welcoming as well. The atmosphere was wonderful, service was great and the food was awesome (burgers were huge and cooked perfectly!). We're excited to have another spot to add to our family meals out! read more

Excellent food and service. Glad we found a solid restaurant close to our home in the area!

Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The food used to take time, but was always delicious. They have lost their Italian cook and changed the menu. The fries were extremely greasy and under cooked (as if the oil was not hot enough). No marinara for mozzarella sticks? What? An extremely small container of ranch to go with. Sadly to say, we most likely will not be back. read more

Menu was limited because their fryer was out of service. Service was good, kitchen very slow. Food was just OK. Paid with credit card not recently used and next morning fraudulent charges were attempted on the card. read more

We ended up here by accident as J's Bistro was full. So disappointed- food was mediocre at best. Steaks were sent back three times and still not seasoned or cooked properly. Shishkebob was not seasoned and overcooked as well. Alfredo sauce on pasta was a tasteless bowl of broken butter and cream. Complained to Chris, the owner, who got very defensive and claimed he had just hired two "world renowned" chefs from the Bay Area and one would come to talk with us. Nobody came - I could go on and on, but really don't want to think about it any longer. On a side note, our server, Alena was tried her best and was very apologetic. Begrudgingly, they took 20 percent off our $100 meal for four. Not good enough. Will never be back or recommend this place to anyone. read more

Food was delicious! Ghost burger was messy and amazing! Lips were on fire, and will eat again! Fries were perfect! Cool little spot in downtown Dayton. Beer selection is average, but is a good place to chill, enjoy a burger and beer! Live music on weekends! Historic building! read more

The Dayton Taphouse - On tap beers! - Beer Bar Near Me - Dayton, Nevada

We went in for a meal while visiting from out of town. The food was decent. We had some burgers, sandwiches, and a steak. None of it really blew us away. They did make a point that the blue cheese was home made. It was very good. Our service was a bit mediocre. The server didn't bring all the correct drinks we ordered. During the meal the owner came up and started talking to us about live entertainment and how many changes they have made. It felt a bit tacky in the middle of our meal. read more
