Our third brewery of the night and last stop before heading home. Met the owners. Very friendly folks! We stopped in here for about 30 mins to sample their IPA wares. I had their Rose Hip Blonde called Aria Rose. Nice light and refreshing. Nicole had Negligent Entrustment which was a fruity IPA. Not too high on the IBU scale. We played one of the games. Mayla played with another kid. I liked some of the playfulness with the notes of friut in these beers but they were not experimental enough for me. Nice ambiance. Voted 2nd best bar bathrooms. Well now! That's something! Worth a visit. read more

One of the nicest brewery venues in the entire Dayton area. Beautifully decorated. They have 2 party rooms. Very rustic decor. For it to be in a strip mall. It feels very homey and comfortable. The beer was solid. I did a flight which included an Irish stout, Scottish ale and a tart cider. They had about 15 beers on tap, and also included a guest tap. The bartender/owner was very friendly and provided a lot of great information on the beer. She was very knowledgeable. Just a very nice experience. They do offer live music on the weekends. Plenty of parking is available. It's kind of hidden if you don't know where you are going, so make sure you, follow your GPS. Highly recommend. read more

My first visit here was a delightful one. I stopped by to check out the off-season market they host on Saturdays during the winter season. I think it's awesome that they have local venders coming in to do it! I had some of their Big Belly, the sour ale, and thought it was great. I'd like to see more sours on their list in the future. So far, a nice a cozy experience here. read more

Good beers, especially their big belly sour. Location is off the beaten path. Not sure if they are still doing food trucks, but something to think about before going. The best brew pub in Centerville. read more

Better than a 4. Very good beers as they have a twisted pretzel altbier and a carrot cake brown ale. Plenty of parking and the staff is fun to talk with. read more

Bock Family Brewing - Taproom at Bock - Breweries Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

I have been wanting to go to Bock Family Brewing since my husband and I met the owners at a local festival. We enjoyed the brews and talking with them. We finally found the location (via google). I was very excited when we arrived at Bock Family Brewing. I wanted to have an enjoyable experience there. I do like the set up, such as the different rooms that are set up within the building for cozy chatting, family games, etc. However, that did not make up for the disappointment in the staff's service and the over priced food....... We sat at the bar and ordered a variety of beers to try. We did enjoy those... however, the bartender was too busy talking on her phone and chatting with the regulars to care about service. And we had lots of questions about the menu. By the way, the menu does not state that there are "up-charges" for various sides, such as the soup). As for the food, it was average tasting with the exception of the potato soup which is made in-house and is tasty. But it was way overpriced. My husband got a hot dog and paid $10.00. It was a 2 oz mixed meat hot dog. Nothing special at all, for that price they should offer a 4 oz hot dog and include the soup. It did come with a side, which my husband declined as he really wanted soup. I did not hear the bartender tell him there was an up-charge for the soup (the up-charge ended up being $3 for barely a cup of soup, which was served in a much larger bowl than needed). I ordered the ham and beer cheese sandwich which was pretty good, it was $10 as well. I wasn't aware of that I was declining a side. I actually thought the soup was my side. I was charged $3 more for the soup. In addition, we had to ask for silverware and napkins as neither staff person that served us noticed that we didn't have silverware. So our bill for 1 round of beer and a hot dog, ham and beer cheese sandwich and 2 cups of potato soup was $44.00 (before tip). When we paid our bill, the minimum tip amount available was 20%. Customers should not be required to pay a 20% tip if the service doesn't warrant the 20%. I left feeling I was way overcharged and very disappointed with the experience. I really wanted to like Bock Family Brewing. I doubt I will go back. read more

We came from out of town to host a baby shower for our son and Daughter n law. Jen was fantastic to work with. She was patient with me while asking her 500 questions. We had it catered and it was fantastic!! The Alpenhorn Sandwiches were my all time favorite and the cheesy spaetzle (like Mac n cheese) was really good! Everything was high quality and they were very accommodating. We will definitely be back. read more

Beer is good. Not sure on the food. In the past food was a bit slow to get. I'll have try again soon. They do participate with beer books for 2025. That's why we went there. read more

We really wanted this to be a slam dunk as we had never been here (or heard of it in the 2.5 years they were open). Beers are very good. Didn't find one we didn't care for. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Ownership needs to get them help though. It was empty when we arrived and filled up an hour or so later. Line to get a beer was 30 people deep and the kitchen was taking well over an hour for orders. Our friend never got his and they refunded his dinner and we left after an hour and a half. Food was not great. We tried the restaurant week menu and most of it was tiny portions, overpriced (and extra hidden fees for using the QR app) and just not good. The place is very cool, bathrooms nice, plenty of seating and areas with lots of games. We would probably come back to hangout and drink/play games, just not to eat. read more

Looks like a cool place but... went there on a Friday night for my first time to have a couple drinks and listen to live music. Stood in line for a drink for 45 minutes and barely moved. Ended up walking out. Maybe a nice place on a week night but not on a busy weekend. read more

Not been there yet although it has all the amenities of a German restaurant. The menu looks great.

This is such a cute place! I had a great sandwich on a pretzel bun & their soft pretzels are so good! Everyone was really friendly.

Just ok wurst platter only comes with just the sausages maybe some German potato salad and sauerkraut should be included for the price. Pretzel was microwaved the beer cheese was good. Spatzel not real sure what that was but was definitely not a good spatzel very pasty. Ordered two different beers that tasted the same. And the live band was far too loud for the small venue. read more

Service was terrible except for one waitress who was not even on the clock that came and helped our table. Saw that the place was a 4.8 on google and though maybe this may be good. Entered the building and while the place looked great on the inside I could tell that there was something wrong. There was next to no people there on a Saturday at prime dinner hour. Eventually figured out we would be seating ourselves and sat down. A server immediately came up to us and took our drinks and food. That was the last time we saw that specific server. A food worker in the back came and brought the food out and I could tell there was something wrong already the kids pizza looked like it came out of a schoolroom cafeteria freezer. The Ruben and brats / mash were not much better. Ruben tasted tough and off and that it was microwaved. Also it was not on rye. As for the brats and mash I changed my mash to German potato salad. One of the brats tasted off and the potato salad was dry. The only saving grace about the place was one server who was not even on the clock that came and asked what was wrong and comped half our meal. We will not be going back to bock's again. read more

The facility is quite nice, very comfortable, clean. There are games, billiards, and shuffleboard, football for activities. They have a trivia night and live music some nights. We arrived mid afternoon on a Sunday. Including the two of us, there were 5 customers in the place. We only wanted food. What we ordered: *2 pretzels with beer and jalapeño cheese *2 hotdogs on pretzel buns with mustard and onions *chicken salad sandwich with Swiss on "artisan" bread *side of German potato salad and baked beans What we got: *1 hotdog without onions (it was supposed to be 2 with onions) *chicken salad sandwich with Muenster because they were out of swiss. The bread was clearly not artisan and was decidedly more like Wonder bread. *loaded baked potato salad because they had no German potato salad. The order taker had issues. She got it wrong. The kitchen was slow, and after 10 minutes to told us they didn't have items we ordered. Nothing is made in-house. Also: those delicious looking waffles pictured on Yelp that lured us in - are not on the menu. Anyway, the food we got was tasty, but compared to other brewpubs I've been to that serve food, Bock's is lacking. read more

Excellent beer, great food, very warm atmosphere, staff is very friendly! Fantastic family place to hang out.

they had an employee also named Luke who was soo amazing and answered questions and gave beer recommendations and even helped us pick food to eat. 5 stars for the service and amazing beer to boot. all the bands are good and I love playing darts and shuffleboard too. Employees are nice as well and I love how it's dog friendly and kid friendly too. But obviously Luke the bartender is a huge reason to go here and super clean bathrooms as well. 2 thumbs up read more

Stopped in while on vacation. Service was terrible. My wife and I ordered the wurst platter and a couple of sides. They came with the platter and sides, but no plates. He said he would bring them out, but went straight behind the bar and that was that. I had to go up to the bar and ask for plates to eat our meal. They joked about charging us extra for them (everything, including the mustard is extra). The food was OK. Very expensive for what we got. One wine, 2 beers, the sausage platter (6 sausage links), and 2 sides with a 20% tip was $76. I live within 10 minutes of 6 breweries and a dozen wineries, and beyond the poor service, this place is way over priced. They didn't have a price for the beer and wine, and based on the total, it was at least $10 for a 12 oz. beer. ------- Jennifer B., Several things as to your reply. I'm not complaining of the cost of food or the time it took to cook, it is the amount you charged. If you add up the bill with the stated prices, it comes to $44.60. Add 20% and we're at 53.52, without the added tax. My card was charged twice, both pending totaling $76, with the first at $20 with the first drinks and $56 and change. The final is now 1 charge of $70.29. Based on the prices in your comment, we were overcharged. Secondly the server is lied. From his own mouth he said "I will bring you plates right away". read more

Have mixed feelings about the place. It has a great local feel to it with fooseball, pool, darts and shuffleboard. There was only 5 beers on tap so not much of a selection. They have a food menu featuring drunken waffles read more

We had a LARGE party and came in at the end of the evening. We had a wonderful time, the food was good the Staff was outstanding and we came back the next day. They get 5 stars from me... read more

What a hidden gem! Centrally located, huge space, amazingly friendly staff and lets be honest ... (most importantly) a great selection of beer ! I was able to get a flight and try 5 of the in house brews and all were amazing ! I believe the aria was our favorite it's the one named after the owner's beautiful little girl . Obviously kid friendly and they have a in house food truck that is (usually) there . This would be a great location for get together with family or group events . Can't wait to get back and try some new brews !! Great job Bock Family Brewing ! read more
