The Stage Door

Stage door is back on the map! Had a blast celebrating Dayton Pride and seeing the place packed with shows, dancing and social activity! Looking forward to seeing them tune in their entertainment and bar needs to tend to the crowds as they grow back to popularity! Drinks are heavy on the pours and easy on the wallet. If you havnt been here since 2020, do yourself a favor and head back! DJ Alvarez has really added life into the side room with lights, dancing and the best Kareoke in down!

Great place to grab a cold drink and hangout with friends.

An amazing place to hang and do karaoke! My spouses and I normally come here almost every Friday to sing our little hearts out. The DJ is super great and if there if somthing missing you want to sing he will help you out and add the song it is so cool!

Its a nice gay bar with reasonable drink prices, awesome bartenders, and a chill and welcoming atmosphere. FYI: Try the green tea shot; its amazing!

I was here this past weekend and not a good time! Took them over 10 minutes to even ask me what I wanted to drink! The tall bartender with the dark hair, I think his name is Dustin?! pours drinks really heavy. I know some may find this nice since they get more alcohol for the same price. But you order a cocktail and the only flavor it has is vodka? If I wanted a plain old shot I would have asked for one! He also rubs me the wrong way. I’ve seen him talk to other customers and he is extremely rude! He’s fake, two-faced and will just say anything you want to hear so he can get more tips out of you! Sorry but that’s not the kind of bartender I want to be pouring my drinks.

This place was very rude and races! They made me feel very uncomfortable they didnt want to serve me and the owner ask me to leave after being kicked by a customer. I felt very unwelcome. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BAR TO ANYONE OF COLLOR OR ANYONE WHO SUPPORT BLACK LIVE!RACISM END WITH US! #ALLLIVESMETTER #BLACKLOVE #BLACKPOWER #JUSTICE #RACISM

Historic Gay Bar, Oldest in Ohio was called the Stage Door because it originally set next to VICTORIA THEATER and hundreds of Hollywoods famous Gay and Gay Friendly Stars visited the Stage Door!Friendly place, old fashioned Bar with tons of memories! Great Drink specialsSit and talk, play pool, keno and occasionalDrag shows or Dancers. Plus theme nights

Pretty lame. Maybe it’s just not my type of gay bar. Just a bit slower pace here in Ohio. But the staff was friendly and of course the drinks were flowing. You know how gay bars are ❤️

Great drinks friendly atmosphere. Cant ask for more.

First time there this past Monday night. Good service, good conversation, great eye candy (thanks guys) yummm, and a friendly owner. Had a good time. Unpretentious clientele. This bar WILL bring me back to Dayton. (And no bs about swiping my id, like at the neighboring bars.)

Fun downtown bar. Good place to chill in the evening. Super friendly staff and great prices.

Great DJ setup and sound system (they need to jack up the volume real bad), open deck nights every week help the electronic music scene. The environment is a little like a fathers basement, needs some of that corny stuff taken off the walls.

Sadly, a dying venue. Place used to be packed ALL the time. We were the only ones there. Kind of wished we hadnt gone so we could have remembered the glory days. On the good side, the bartender was very attentive and nice.

Good atmosphere, great bartender, fun people, and fun drinks

Oldest bar around still with great drinks and they have Keno!

My boyfriend djs there every weekend. Its a small venue but great atmosphere.

Great local bar for good prices on drinks and a couple games of pool.

Its a bar. Nothing bad. Nothing great. Nice staff. Laid back as can be.

This the best the kept secret in Dayton. Laid back atmosphere and the owner is super friendly.
