Ditto Bar Opens in Uptown Centerville

November 14, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

After months of hard work, late nights, and a whole lot of heart, we’re excited to finally share Ditto with the public.  Ditto, formerly Crabshire’s Tavern, has had a full renovation featuring  reclaimed wood, copper accents and brick-style charm along with two outdoor covered patios. Ditto is the first retail project from The Prime Residence Group, a family-owned and operated apartment property company focused on investment and management platforms in the Cincinnati and Dayton market with Bruce Harlamert as  managing partner. Erica Hamden (formerly the GM of Wiley’s) is the General Manager and she’s brought a couple of the staff from the comedy club with her.

Ditto officially opens their doors tonight at 4pm in Uptown Centerville!  The name of the bar represents  how  Hamden shared with her mom meaning  “I feel the same” or “I love you too.” Ditto aims to be cozy neighborhood bar where you’ll feel comfortable becoming a regular.  Hamden said she wants the bar’s name to reflect that sentiment and be a welcoming space “where people come together as friends and family and just have a cohesive time together.”
 Tonight’s grand opening will include  The Food Pitt in the parking lot from 4 – 8pm, serving up their famous smashburgers , BBQ Chicken Mac, and Loaded Sour Cream Burgers  — everything made from scratch and absolutely delicious.
You’ll be able to play darts at the bar, pick your favorite songs from the juke box and after Thanksgiving they will be adding Keno and pull tabs, Karaoke and even an open mic comedy night.
The bar does not serve food, but you are welcome to bring your own and they plan on having food trucks their on the weekends.

Ditto Bar — Where Good Times Repeat
68 W Franklin St
Centerville, OH 45459
Mon – Thurs 2pm – 1am
