Canal Street Arcade and Deli

Nice little spot in downtown Dayton. I was passing through and craving a deli sandwich on a Sunday afternoon and luckily this place was opened. They have a nice full bar with plenty of good beers in cans, bottles and draft. The bartender was super friendly and helpful. It was a little busy but I never had to wait long to order. The deli has a really nice selection of sandwiches. I ordered the large Reuben which was around $14. It was so good I got a second sandwich. The guy working the deli counter also was incredibly friendly and helpful. The place itself had plenty of seating and was quite clean. Definitely a perfect spot to stop in Dayton to get a delicious sandwich and a refreshing beverage. They also had signs posted allowing kids during the day which is perfect - they can play the old school arcade games while you wait for your food! Highly recommend!

I miss the old Canal Street Tavern. Can't tell you how many bands I got to see there years ago. Some of THE best local music and I'm glad that they left a bunch of the band stickers on the wall. I don't think Mick would be rolling over in his grave at all. You're keeping the location alive. This is where I come to eat a reuben sandwich. Best one in town and I've had a lot. Great place to bring the kids before 3pm to play some arcade games. The ones that aren't pinball are free (if they're not broken 🫤). Pinball is pay to play.

Very cool cozy place. They have a lot of very nice newer pinball machines and the environment is perfect for date nights or meeting new people. Deli bar stays open late and is very good. I can't comment on drinks because I don't drink. Great atmosphere though. Very cozy and there is a lot of history in that spot.

Absolutely amazing place to get a great sandwich. I highly recommend the Italian! Also don’t forget to pick up a stamp card. Games are super fun always. Overall a great hangout spot with friends but small enough for a cute date.

My wife and I are visiting the area for work. Given that this facility is a 2 minute walk from the AC hotel it was a no brainer. We ordered a personal pizza called the Mario and a Buffalo Chicken sandwich. The pizza was smaller than anticipated for my wife but the food was delicious,truly. I suppose what caught me off guard is the request for tip when the server just took my order at a stand,and called me to pick it up,No service was actually done. The pinball machines were a nice throwback to a simpler time,the atmosphere really was a nice touch.

The sandwiches were phenomenal! We got the South Paw and the Italian. I'd highly recommend either. Everyone working there was incredibly nice. They had fun local sodas in cans and a pretty good tap list. If I'm ever in Dayton again, I'm absolutely coming here.

Had time to kill before our flight back. Saw this gem and said an arcade would be a great place to kill time. Really impressive pinball collection along with retro arcade games. The arcade games were free to play while we were there but pinballs took quarters. Impressive beer menu along with a nice looking deli as well.
