Another gem of the Oregon District! Eclectic, nostalgic, laid-back, welcoming, unique…all ways to describe this awesome bar. So many activities and themes, it’s like going to 5 of your favorite bars a different day each week. Hands down the best bartenders and staff who make everyone feel welcome and have a good time. Great mix of people enjoying the bar… everyone is made to feel welcome! You can’t go wrong going here, and you’ll keep going back.

The name is a fairly accurate representation of what this bar is. Fortunately, I like hole-in-the-wall bars and the service was good, drinks we’re good as well.

Our first time in Dayton. Felt SO welcomed. Chrissy is SUCH a professional, personable bartender. Really made us feel like this is our new “Spot” in our new town. Happy hour is great! TouchTunes!! Everything we could want. The fact that this place is partners with other bars on the block is the cherry on top. Wills DEFINITELY be back!! 🙂

Definitely a great spot if you’re looking for a chill vibe surrounded by good people. My friends and I make it a point to stop in after work, especially when Donna is there. She’s amazing. Extremely attentive and incredibly kind. She takes an interest in her customers and makes us feel more like family <3

So much potential! Instead of being negative I will post my suggestions to Hole in the Wall and hopefully they will take a look at them.
1. Get tall glass cups for the drinks. The small plastic cups really ruin the mood.
2. Have a donation bucket and ask every customer to donate towards buying more games for the arcade. People will generously donate if you can offer them some classic games. X-Men, Street Fighter, Terminator, Streets of Rage, Ninja Turtles, Star Wars Light saber etc.
3. Expand your mixed drink selection and expand your bartender’s knowledge of them.
4. Get something special for birthdays. I suggest a special Birthday Drink: You can charge a lot for it if it is large and in an interesting commemorative glass. It can also be small but interesting too! How about Birthday Cake Cocktails?
5. Don’t miss out on special niche Days: Mario Day, Talk like a Pirate Day, Geek Pride Day, national Super hero Day etc
6. Fix the speaker in the back it doesn’t play music, just static.
7. Turn the lights on a little more it is very dark in there.

My roommate and I just moved to Dayton here recently and today was our first time out since moving here. We stopped at another local bar but decided to leave because it wasn’t our vibe. From the moment we stepped in “hole in the wall” we felt nothing but positivity. The bartender was great (Kelly I think??) and so was the other staff!!! Overall 10/10 experience. Great music and even better drinks. We definitely have found our new go to spot!

Amazing bar for nostalgic gamers. They have consoles with 2 player games. Wall to wall arcade games, friendly staff (easy on the eyes too). Drinks are reasonably priced and with a good selection. The crowd is super trendy. You WILL have fun.

Donna is my favorite bartender at Hole! She is friendly and always makes it a personal mission to connect with everyone who comes in! She makes my day.

Looking for a fun spot to play some amazing free games, listen to some good music, have some nice patio time, and some great drinks? Look no further.
This is one of my go to spots on a Saturday afternoon with nothing to do. It is pretty quiet with not a lot of folks in the shop so you have free reign over the games. They also usually have a movie playin as well. I love the Gamer theme to the bar and the Mario world 1-1 on the bar top.
For fro-fro frilly drinks try the Pink Dragon. I love me some Pink Dragons. Also ask about the Queen of Hearts.
