Fifth Street Brewpub

We went as part of the Dayton ale trail and I'm glad we did. We got some appetizers and several beers between ourselves. The food was really, particularly good. The soft pretzel was honestly the best soft pretzel I've ever had. My girlfriend and I compare all soft pretzels to this places soft pretzel. The beer was great, our server was cool and the location reminds me of a small town pub from the UK.

Parking lot in the back, entered when it wasn't busy. Very friendly server, quick service, and a nice little place although their booth seat needs some TLC (it's all ripped and has a lot of tape). Had cheese curd, veggie burger and their Noel brew. For the brews, 5/5. I shared the large bottle eith fellow diner. Bottle was 18 I think. So not cheap, but high quality. This was not a typical Xmas ale - it's got a striking tart quality combined with a great xmas-type seasoning profile. I recommend it but not if you don't like a farmhouse-ale style. Cheese curds were the best I've ever had. They list that they use an Ohio cheese producer and they are amazing. The breading was great but the cheese itself was a star, being velvetey and soft as opposed to your typical balls o rubber. My burger and potatoes were alright. I'd say sverage on that - I do recommend being more liberal with the jalapenoes on the spicy burger. I do very much appreciate they subbed the meat burger for non-meat version. I think this matched the price. I really like this place. A small cooperative focused on making high-quality drinks and serving it in a very welcoming environment. I was very impressed.

Came for brunch with friends. Two are regulars and members of their co-op. We had breakfast tacos and the chicken and waffles. All of it was fantastic. The chicken was incredibly different. There is so much flavor. I can easily say it was a good brunch, and you shouldn't hesitate to try it.

I love eating/drinking at the bar or on the patio. I raise their rating to 5 stars now that they have fries! So good. They also always have a sour beer option or cider and I appreciate that. Keep up the great vibe!

About 30 family and friends on the patio. Great experience. Wheelchair access. On or near site parking.

Food was so good, I almost forgot to take a picture. Great hometown feel , near historic ann hill, great service and fun family friendly

Fantastic, local pub. Staff is great. Kitchen (and menu) are small but punch above their weight. Beers are always solid with a selection of regular offerings and rotating seasonals and one-offs. Full bar and patio (weather permitting).

The interior of Fifth Street Brewpub is nice and warm in atmosphere, but their patio looked great. I’d have tried sitting out there if it wasn’t so chilly when I visited. I tried three of their beers and was happy with all of them. There were no off flavors and the quality seemed consistently good. The customers seemed like a friendly group, and I’d definitely swing by again next time I’m in town.

Stopped in on a random Wednesday evening. Two servers were handling the whole crowd and doing a bang up job. My burger was out quickly despite the busyness. Beer was tasty too! Just what I wanted. There was a seemingly random group of 10-15 people there too that got out their musical instruments after eating and starting playing some Irish jigs. It was a welcome surprise, and I have no idea if it's a regular occurrence.

My friends and I absolutely love Fifth Street Brewpub. We go to trivia every week, and we love the overall atmosphere, servers, food, and beers. However, the woman who runs trivia is our least favorite part about it, and I really wish that they would find somebody else to run trivia. She is often wrong, or extremely petty. Here are just a few question/answer examples: 1. "Name a fabric that is also a type of pie" - Her answer was something I had never heard of. I wrote "silk", and she did not accept that as correct, even though it is. 2. She played "I Walk The Line" by Johnny Cash and would not accept "Walk The Line". There was also one evening that she said something along the lines of "If you aren't here to play trivia, you can't stay", which would really irritate me as a business owner/server. It doesn't feel like it's her place to decide who can/cannot be a customer. Again, we love Fifth Street, and we love going to trivia, but she makes it feel hostile and unwelcoming.

Fifth street Brewpub is an awesome little neighborhood brew pub/restaurant! Everything about our visit here was perfect. From the amazing service, great beer and wonderful food this is truly a beautiful gem in town. The curds were awesome! We loved them. The Smashburger was juicy, well seasoned and perfect as well. The real gem of this pub was the service. The bartender was so friendly and amazing. We loved meeting her and listening to her suggestions! You've got a great ambassador there! I absolutely recommend this brewpub and can't wait to go back!

Love this neighborhood friendly pub! Not only are their brews wonderful, but the food is worth the visit. Great soups, salads, and unexpected delicious specials. This is our go to place! Highly recommend!

Great neighborhood spot. I read that this is a dive bar- it is most definitely not a dive!! We heard good things about the food, so we came specifically for a drink and brunch. Breakfast special, salmon patty sandwich and chimchuri chicken with a fried egg...all plates were cleaned without a single complaint. Patio seating was the place to be on Sunday. Umbrellas help keep the direct sunshine at bay so you can enjoy the space. Friendly staff for sure. Great vibe!

Excellent! Had nice a Patty Melt sandwich with homemade chips paired with homemade delicious Mushroom soup. Yum yum! Drank Fifth Street's High Anxiety imperial stout (2022) and Strike Eagle ale imperial red ale. I closed with Noel a Belgian strong dark ale.

1st time visiting this neighborhood pub. Nice place with good indoor and outdoor seating. Beers were tasty and our food was very good. I had the BLT and my wife the salmon salad sandwich. Quick service and friendly helpful staff. Server even suggested other places in the area to try out. We'll go back

Dropped in during porch fest and was very excited for the cheese curds based on some other reviews here on Yelp (shoutout to Gregg L.). We also ordered the pretzels which were a little disappointing. The pretzels came out pipping hot, too hot to eat at least without burning your fingers, and they cooled off so quickly. I also would have liked to have had more cheese for dipping. The cheese curds were tasty and the sauces they come with are interesting a raspberry puree and some type of horseradish sauce I believe. I feel like the curds were enjoyed best when the sauces were mixed. Don't come for me at least try it before judging. The beer I ordered was some type of mango lime beer which I do not recall the name of, but it tasted exactly like juice. Very tasty. I would try here again for sure but I wouldn't order the pretzels again.

Beer and food were solidly mediocre. Got a salad, burger, and pretzel and nothing really stood out. Could have gotten the food anywhere else in America. The beer was also mediocre. Not full bodied. The staff was awesome though. Super friendly and very helpful. Unfortunately, I do not recommend.

Great indoor space for colder months and patio for warmer months. Overall great food and drink options. Service was a bit slow on the particular day that I was there but due to the trivia night that was in full swing.

Went for a Sunday brunch; very disappointed. I guess it is more of a bar/pub sort of place. Took awhile to flag down a server even though there was only one other table of diners. Ordered a vegetarian omelette with home fries. The omelette was way over cooked..had a brown crust! The home fries were hard little cubes; probably poured from a freezer bag. Exchanged them for a fruit bowl that was even worse. The apple slices still had stems and seed cores attached, the orange slices weren't seperated and the blueberries were mushy. My companion ordered the French Toast and it had some sort of hard cooked egg custard on it...very strange. Wouldn't recommend it at all and certainly won't return

Brought a large group here on a trivia night and had a great time. I throughly enjoyed my burger with the house-made chips and our server was quite attentive to a group our size. We had fun engaging in the trivia night (even though the host had the wrong answer for one of the geography questions), but we enjoyed this local joint while sitting outdoors!

I was in Dayton and asked Siri to tell me breweries near me. It recommended this place. I had no idea what to expect. This brewery has a wonderful outdoor patio, a great selection of beer and barley wine; which includes barrel aged specialties, and a menu that has everything from sandwiches and burgers to appetizers, soup, creative salads and more! Prices are reasonable and food/beer was delicious! I can't wait to return.

Another great spot in the growing list of area brewpubs!! Check it out for great brews, creative food offerings, and excellent service. I love the set up here, though I imagine it might get a bit more crowded if you're here on a busy night vs. our late afternoon/early evening Sunday visit. Parking might be tricky, but we got lucky!! I'd love to come back soon and try out their back patio and some more choices off of their tempting menu... The entire Dayton/Springfield region boasts a wonderful, emerging brewpub scene... Definitely something for everyone, whether you're a die-hard craft beer fan, or happy to be out and about in a place where everyone involved seems to be really dedicated to their craft and excited to share it with the community!!

Fifth Street Brewpub is a locally owned brewery. It started off as just a pub. Then a few years later they started making their own beers too. Everything so far has been good. They also have some better food options. I had the Brown Ale. It's about $6 a pint. This is a malty tasting ale, really good if you like this kind of thing. It has a good amount of in house. They didn't start off with brewing here but added it later. A few newer beers have been introduced. The Watermelon is one that seems to be popular. I also had some fries. These are about $3 for a pretty good amount, something good to snack on between sips. Bar has a pretty good atmosphere. Several TVs so you can watch games. The parking is tricky but you can park in the evenings on a few streets.

Food was very good. Had the chèvre burger. House IPA was one of the better local brew house IPAs I have tried. Service was good. Nice place!

Wow. Really excellent food and beer. My wife got the "like a bat out of helles lime" and I got the pollinator dopplebock. Both fantastic beers. The helles has a great lime aroma but has a wonderful deep rich flavor and body (possibly more heavy than the style suggests but the lime pulls it all together.) The pollinator and I are in a Facebook official relationship now. That good. I'm normally not a fan of honey beers, but the flavor and aroma are centered closer to sweet ambrosic pollen rather than overly syrupy honey. Great body too (ironic since my love of beer has left me with a terrible body.) Now onto food. The pictures do not give justice. GET THE CHEESECURDS YOU FOOLS!!!! It's like the best fried cheese stick you've had combined with the best curd batter of your life. I think I grew a corkscrew tail oinking them up. The Reuben had a wonderfully tangy sauerkraut, some real-a$$ corn beef that knocks the socks off your local deli, and good smelling swirl rye brewed. My wife's iPA Caesar and potato leek soup were also excellent. Prices were pretty decent for quality and portions too.

Our return visit was let-down compared to the first. I'd been holding on to sweet memories of their bbq Pork Loaded Chips. I returned specifically to order them again. But they'd changed the Chip they used - it had been replaced with some thin, waffle chip that couldn't hold up to the toppings. They were all broken and crumbled underneath. Hubby ordered a fajita and was not impressed. Especially now that we no longer live in the neighborhood, I don't see us going out of our way to return any time soon.

This is a great little dive. My friends and I come here every so often. We're always seated right away and the staff is super friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the cheese curds and banana pudding, absolutely delicious! My favorite entree here is the Ghost Pepper BBQ Burger. I'm not one for extreme heat so I order it with regular cheese instead of the ghost pepper cheese, but regardless, it's absolutely delicious! Also, they have a super nice patio area where there is sometimes live music while you eat!

We came for food on the patio and were greeted promptly and ordered drinks. They came out quick and we ordered food.. waited 50 minutes and noticed that other tables that arrived after us were getting food before we even got our appetizer. We left cash for the drinks and left. Disappointed.

Very disappointing. Came on a Friday afternoon at 3:30 to a "dog friendly" place for dinner and a beer. Was turned away as dogs are only welcome on Wednesday and maybe Sunday no mention on their web site. The patio area was empty. Was told some "member owners" objected to dogs. Well Lock 27 doesn't have that problem and our weekly dinners out will not include 5th street on future evenings.

Porch Festival, beautiful event. So a group of us decided to come here for a nightcap at 9:15-9:30. Sign says kitchen closes at hour before, but it was closed now. Server came out and said we can only have water. So the. Manager said she notice some of the group motor skills was off. BS!! I have seen people stumbling drunk, slurring words come In there and get served. WTF!!! So I have lived downtown for 13 years, I guess I will keep my Dollars on this side of Keowee st, and I will recommend I all friends and co-workers and people I know to do the same.

Fifth Street Brewpub was a cute little adventure. It definitely has some downsides (the largest being that it gets so loud with even a few tables occupied while inside), but it definitely shines in its community-focused approach and delicious beer. PROS: -Service was pretty amazing. When they served some food to our table, we noticed it wasn't quite what we had ordered. We were going to flag down the waitress to let her know, but the kitchen guy came out within a minute and let us know that he noticed the mix-up and would be fixing it shortly. You don't always get that type of pre-emptive and attentive service, so that was really nice. -Tablemate absolutely loved their burger. You don't always get the options of "ghostpepper cheese", so he took it, and he said it was absolutely amazing. -Their beer selections are nice too. There were enough different types to make everyone happy while all the beers taste pretty good. Their flights are a good option to try lots of different beers. Menus on your table make it easy to choose your beer selection. -Their outdoor patio looks amazing. We're reaching those cold temperatures, so nobody was outside, but it looks like being able to utilize the outdoor space likely really makes the interior area a lot less crowded too. -I loved the "small business, community-supportive" feel that the business has. It's the only co-op brewery in the area, and they have a ton of different things around the building that make it feel like it's definitely a community-focused business. There are names on the wall from initial supporters, artwork of what the building used to be before they bought it, brochures for various things going on in the area, and things like that. It has that "community cafe" atmosphere to it - which is really nice. CONS: -I haaaated the pretzels and beer cheese. To the point where I stopped eating them after the first one. They're not necessarily bad - just not for me. The pretzels are really, really crisp and tough on the outside, and the beer cheese has a very, very strong cheddar cheese taste to it. Neither are particularly bad, but I wouldn't get it again. On the bright side, that very same cheese seemed to work perfectly fine on the Mac and Cheese that I ordered instead. -The Fifty Street Brewpub does have a little bit of lot parking, but it's only a couple car's worth. Expect to be doing some street parking and then walking there. Luckily, it's not located in a particularly busy area, so you'll just be competing with residential car parking mostly. -Acoustics can definitely get a little scary in here. We came during a random Friday afternoon (and were really expecting it to be dead), but with just five tables full, it was hard to hear one another across the table. They (luckily) don't make it any worse by playing any background music, but it was definitely really surprising. Definitely somewhere you'll want to sit close to your tablemates or speak loudly.

What a cute pub in the heart of Dayton. It is in what I like to call an "up-and-coming" neighborhood. They have a cozy interior with a great patio for summer. Beer options are local and plentiful. Cocktails are lovely (especially on a warm summer day). I had a couple snacky things for food, so I can't really speak to the food, but people ordering around me seemed happy. Honestly, I think I need to go to Fifth Street more often. I love the feel of this bar. Service has been pleasant. As I mentioned, ambiance is cozy. I have a good feeling about this place. You should go and see for yourself!

This is an adorable little brewery! The first time we came here we sat outside on the patio. They have bench seating and plenty of shade. A few people had their dogs with them, which is awesome! They are always rotating their beer selection. When I went they had a the best selection with a ginger beer that was fantastic! The second time we sat inside at the bar and tried an IPA which was also great. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this place for a good beer and an appetite.

I've now been here twice and have nothing but a good experience. The service/food was great and they also have good drink selection.

We liked our food and beers. Got the Reba since the cider was out. Also Got the salmon belt. Fresh ingredients good service. Patio is shaded. Boyfriend liked his saison and sriracha Mac and cheese. Food is a tad bit expensive

I was so disappointed in this restaurant. I went here during porch fest and was told I couldn't order a shirley temple because the bar was too busy? interesting seeing as ordering food and drinks and then paying for them is the job of any establishment. The waiter also was very very short with our table seeming annoyed that we chose to patronize their business. The food was horrible especially for the attitude from the staff. He was short with all of us and I genuinely lack any insight into what we were paying for. The food was a waste of money and calories and during porch fest you'd be better off buying from some of the other food trucks around here than deciding to be talked down to by waitstaff and denied food and drink. If i knew my waiters name I would've definitely complained.

Great beers.. Lorie was a wealth of knowledge on the history of the building and their company's beers. Had the Herbivore 2 Lemongrass and Ginger beer it was awesome.

I've been a weekly regular of FsB for a year.. Reuben is great. O'Brien nachos = my favorite nachos in the land. Great crazy staff. Awesome varying beer selection. My favorite bar in Dayton.

This is such a cool concept. It's a co-op non profit that took over a run down house on the East side of Dayton and made it in to a great place to hang out. They acquired the building next door and renovated it to be their brew house. In between the two buildings is a biergarten brick patio. The bricks were claimed from a local building and include bricks purchased by members listing their names. They have a great selection of beers including many of their own. The food is amazing. Everything i have tried here is very good. They make everything in house including their ketchup. I had an opportunity to become a founding member before this place was open and I am kicking myself for not jumping in.

I'm really rating them for their beers because they have some awesome ones! All the herbivores I've had are delicious - especially the saison, they have a mint stout in winter that I'd drink year round. Their pretzels are super good, cheese curds way too small a portion compared to other places and the size of their other apps, skip them for sure. Overall it's a fun bar, parking isn't too bad since their tiny lot is always full, but the street is pretty quiet. Busiest night I've been in is for trivia and always find a table.

I moved to St. Anne's Hill about a year and a half ago. Living so close to 5th Street Brew Pub has been truly a blessing. Great food, warm atmosphere, and FANTASTIC beer. You really can't beat 5th street on their price or their quality. With weekly specials and an ever changing beer roster there is always something new. I highly recommend 5th Street Brew Pub to anyone looking for a hidden gem in the Gem City. :)

Very good beer and nice staff. Had cup 'o jojo and mint cookie stouts. Aroma of mint cookie stout of course evokes memories of the famous thin mints. Food was good, too, including red pepper tomato soup, hamburger, and salmon sandwich. Seems like a great little neighborhood bar; think we would be regulars if we were local. Only downside is that it was a little loud for our older ears because of the smallish interior space (it was about 36 degrees outside) but the intimacy of the place is part of its attraction.

Not impressed with the service we received AT ALL. We ordered three beers, two came. We asked where the other was... the server "didn't hear" the order although everyone in our group heard it. We ordered cheese curds and two entrees. After about an hour, our entrees came out- a burrito and a burger. It was NOT busy, so these items shouldn't have taken this long. No cheese curds were ever brought to the table, but they were on the bill. The waiter apologized, but that just didn't cut it. The beers were order were good and the food was ok, but there was zero wow factor that night. Kinda mad at myself for not just paying for the drinks and leaving.

Good pub food. The burgers were cooked as we ordered and good size as they were 1/2 lbs! Beer selection was awesome and their locals and house brews were top notch. The place is small and seating can be a bit limited in the winter so get there early.

Love it. Really, just about everything about this place. They make great beer. The menu is elevated pub fare without being pretentious, with quality ingredients. And the vibe is great. Awesome patio situation, but my favorite spot to sit is at the bar. A gem in the Gem City.

Nice local co-op brewery. The tap selection varies and includes both house brews and others, but tends to be a bit IPA-heavy for me. The food is pretty good and a little different from your standard bar fare. We've tried one of the potato chip "nacho"-type appetizers which was pretty good and several sandwiches. My fiance enjoyed the Italian sandwich, but we both thought it was odd that it didn't have cheese on it. I liked the Young and Weck-less sandwich, which comes with an awesome horseradish dip! My biggest complaint about the place is the service. Both times I've been we were in a large group so maybe that's the cause, but the wait staff just seems to be a bit overwhelmed. The most recent time we went, we arrived a few minutes after our party had been seated and there were only two menus on the table--for a group of 8. Eventually the waitress brought us more, but I'm not sure why we didn't have enough menus for the table at the start. Food and checks for everyone didn't come out at the same time either. It's not a big place or anything, but I think they could handle groups better.

I had driven past the Fifth Street Brewpub a couple of times and, after looking them up on Yelp and the web, decided to give them a try on my next visit to Dayton. The pub is located in the Saint Anne's Hill neighborhood of Dayton, on the south side of 35. The building is pretty small, and the parking is limited in the back, or on the street. Fifth Street is a small "neighborhood" brewpub establishment. The bartenders and staff were friendly, but overall it felt like attending someone else's family reunion. The menu is limited, but good. I had the burger, and it was very pleased with it. They brew on premises, so there are some beers which are random, and all three I tried were very good. If you're in the area, it's definitely a good place to stop in with friends, grab a table in the back and try their beers - which are certainly growler worthy - with some grub.

First time at Fifth Street Brewpub. A friend and I met up for dinner and drinks. It wasn't too crowded for a work night and the staff was on top of their service. The food was as expected for a pub. The beer was pretty good as well. I'd definitely come back again.

A hidden oasis just outside of downtown. This nifty brew pub offers more than your average watering hole. The locally brewed beers are simply delicious and pair quite well with an assortment of dinner options. The beer garden is beautiful and a fun social atmosphere. This bar was started by a community co-op fund raiser. Nice to see people in Dayton investing in their local roots!

First time at the Fifth Street Brewpub. Took the family out to eat and try a few new brews and grab a bite to eat. They are changing out the soda to a local distributor, so the selection was root beer or sprite. The beer and food was good. The waiter suggested the Salmon B.E.L.T. and it was AWESOME!!, I will be going back just for the Salmon B.E.L.T.!!

Rather enjoyable sandwich. I believe I had a salmon sandwich with aioli sauce. It's cool that it's co-operatively owned by local members, and seems to be part of an effort to revitalize interior areas of Dayton. Many of the beers on tap are local, and the beer sampler is recommended.

Really enjoy the neighborhood vibe from Fifth Street Brewpub, always great friendly interesting people to talk with. It's also a co-op which is a neat story as well. The new menu and burgers are really great.

Parking is tight. Be prepared to park on the crowded streets nearby. Just look and you'll find something soon. But I'm not taking off points for that because in this are of Dayton, parking is a premium. If you like tasting different brews, try a flight and then choose your favorite. When I visited, the Francis was a favorite of the table along with the herbivore 2. They also offer cans and bottles of other craft beers and ciders and also domestics. The cheese curds were ok, mine weren't very hot and stretchy but other tables' were. The jelly served with them was the best part. The sandwich I ordered was good but nothing extraordinary. I believe it was an avacado chicken sandwich. It was a Thursday night and there was live music on the patio. The guy who was singing did a wide variety of music and it was nice. I visited with some friends after work and we were there for a couple of hours but never felt rushed. Depending on your family, it was pretty kid friendly as far as rowdiness. There isn't a lot of room so if the kids are really small there's not much space to explore and there's a lot of hustle and bustle. I'm looking to go back soon to get another experience under my belt. I wish I could give a 3.5 because while we never felt rushed, we had to flag our server down if we needed something. The food could have been hotter and I have a feeling mine set for a little bit before being brought to the table. However the ambience is lovely and I can't wait to try it again. I hope to visit soon.

The ambiance is decent, but was unable to actually order anything the evening I was there. The wait-time for a table was unknown. The staff was discouraging about us staying, since we were 8th on the list. Maybe, someday, we might be back.

Honestly, I'd love to show them some more love for having the balls to put something nice in East Dayton. Had their "Icebreaker" IPA. That's a ship they need to let sink. Not even close to being heavily enough dry hopped. I don't know if I could even call it an English pale ale. You guys need to have less of your beer on tap, and more of other people's who know what they're doing until you get shit figured out a little better.

I think this place is the coolest lil spot in Dayton. If you have never been... I highly recommend. Nice selection of Craft brews and super friendly staff. The food we had was very good. My husband got the Salmon BELT and it was huge. He said it was awesome and he would come back for that alone. I had a grilled cheese with garlic mushrooms and hot onion jam added on it, as well as the most delicious roasted red pepper soup that I have had anywhere. I am a huge fan of this place whether to eat or drink. Nice patio to sit outside and nice dining room. The bar is cool, located on the corner and looks like an old house. They had brochures from everything from events coming up to suicide awareness. I will keep coming back here because it's one of my favorite spots now.

We came here before a musical in downtown Dayton. I loved the atmosphere! The outdoor patio was quite a pleasant place to try and sampler of beer and have brunch. Portion sizes were large. Service was friendly, though it took a little too long for us to get our check when lunch was over. Overall great place for a Saturday afternoon date, we will plan on going back for sure!
