Tender Mercy, which is located on E 3rd Street in Dayton, OH, is a fantastic speakeasy-esque cocktail bar in the downtown area! 🙂 Per their website, “A true midwest destination cocktail bar in downtown Dayton, Ohio. Tender Mercy is not your typical cocktail bar – we celebrate individualism and a classic avant garde sensibility.” I recently visited for the first time with my boyfriend, and we had the best time!! First, the staff are so kind & attentive when you visit. We sat at the bar, and the bartenders took amazing care of us.
In addition, their cocktails are so wonderful! Their signature cocktail, Teach the Crows to Smoke, is excellent – it’s fruity with a little smoke to it! Of note, their signatures are all available on tap behind the bar, which I thought was so unique & cool for this type of space. Lastly, Tender Mercy’s atmosphere is awesome. It’s so intimate + romantic, which makes it the perfect space for a date night. I’m really looking forward to returning here – thank you, TM, for the hospitality!

The atmosphere is amazing. I love the vibe. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the drinks but I’m not crazy on fancy ingredients and what not. That is just a personal choice. However, this is a great, swanky bar that is perfect for a date night!

We dined at Tender Mercy with a large party (10–12 people) and used their valet service. I want to be very clear that the valet team was incredibly kind, professional, and apologetic throughout this entire situation.
Unfortunately, our vehicle was parked directly in front of the restaurant and received a ticket from DPD. When we reached out to Tender Mercy about it, their response was dismissive and frankly rude. We were essentially told it wasn’t their problem, which was disappointing considering they are the ones who contract and promote the valet service.
What stood out most was the contrast in professionalism. The valet company immediately took responsibility, paid for the ticket, offered to return the tip, and even offered to speak with police since they witnessed what happened. They handled it with care and integrity.
Tender Mercy, on the other hand, showed little concern for us as paying customers. When you’re spending around $70 per person, you expect a restaurant to stand behind the services they provide, especially when trust is involved. The lack of accountability was disappointing and left a bad impression.
Just a heads up to others: if you use valet here, clarify exactly where your car will be parked.

I have been to Tender Mercy several times and today I was compelled to write a review! The staff here are AMAZING and work very hard to ensure your experience is nothing but positive! The bartenders are THEE most knowledgeable I have personally interacted with. Every time I’ve gone I have asked the bartender to make me one of their inventions and not a single one has been disappointing. I felt froggy one evening and ordered an Absinthe to observe its preparation. The most authenticly served Absinthe I have ever had. (I went straight to the moon! LOL!) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tender Mercy for a nice evening with a date, or friends!
NOTE: Have yet to eat at Dozo, or from their menu. Also, these pictures are from awhile ago.

One of the all-time great cocktail bars anywhere. Don’t miss Jason behind the bar.

Absolutely loved this place! The environment was perfect for our date night. Our bartender was very educated and helpful with our drinks, and made sure we were taken care of thru the entirety of our night.
Will definitely go again!

Pricey, but totally worth it in my opinion. Phenominal meal when we went (it changes monthly!) with excellent sake pairings.
The menu has:
– One 4-course meal for $75, with optional wine or sake pairings for an additional $50.
– Four chef specials, a la carte, prices vary.
– A drink list.
…and that’s it! Changes monthly.

A very cool spot tucked underneath Dayton. They have “kegged cocktails”—the three we tried were very good. The most stunning thing about this place is the atmosphere, art, and design.

We’ve been lucky enough to dine at several of the restaurants listed among the Top 50 in the world, and the Omakase experience at Dozo absolutely holds its own. We were blown away by the quality of the fish and the creativity of the two chefs named Jake who prepared our meal. They were witty, engaging, and made the evening incredibly fun—truly a hidden gem in Dayton. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough.

I have visited Tender Mercy four times, and every time I am greeted with wonderful service, exemplary drinks, and an enjoyable atmosphere. The monthly residency menu is fantastic, their regular menu is excellent, and I find myself coming back every month to dry new drinks. This is my favorite experience in Dayton!
