Dayton Taphouse

Touted as one of the best restaurants in Dayton, see what friendly, small-town hospitality, fresh food, and ice-cold drinks are all about at the Dayton Taphouse. Situated in the heart of historic Dayton—mere blocks from Highway 50, a stone’s throw from old Pony Express ruins and some of the oldest structures in the Silver State—fuel up your Loneliest Road discoveries with Dayton Taphouse faves like the Ghost Burger and plenty of other ½ pound angus beef burgers, savory sandwiches, made to order appetizers and fresh salads, and all kinds of ice-cold, flowing draft beer. 

Open most days for lunch and dinner, order up delicious appetizers and sides like homemade chips and salsa, beer battered onion rings, taphouse smoked wings, pulled pork cheese fries, or the Dayton Taphouse Chili Bowl, served with cheddar jack cheese, sour cream and chives, and bacon. The Dayton Taphouse offers all kinds of fresh, made-to-order salads like the Cobb Salad, Feta Salad, or Wedge Salad, to name a few. 

Dayton Taphouse serves an amazing array of hot and cold sandwiches as well, like the Rueben Sandwich, Hot Pastrami Sandwich, Steak Sandwich, and the Traditional Patty Melt, but the main event is an impressive lineup of gourmet burgers. All hamburgers are made with ½ pound angus beef on a grilled brioche bun with a secret sauce, fresh lettuce, red onion, tomato, and dill pickles. Keep it simple and order the Six Shooter classic burger, or opt for the locally beloved Ghost Burger, made with fire roasted poblano, anaheim peppers, grilled jalapeno peppers, chipotle aioli, and spicy ghost pepper cheese.
