Crafted & Cured Will Reopen in the Dayton Arcade

By

Crafted & Cured has signed a 10-year lease at the historic Dayton Arcade to be a first-floor anchor tenant at 45 W. Fourth Street, Dayton, OH 45402. The lease is signed, demolition has started for construction, and Crafted & Cured is projected to open the beginning of 2021.

“We look forward to expanding our vision at the Dayton Arcade,” co-owner Christian Alvarez says. Crafted & Cured plans to build out 4,800 square feet with expanded offerings. Crafted & Cured’s mission is to serve the community with a full-service retail shop of craft beer, boutique wines, champagnes, cured meats and artisanal cheeses.

“We’ve always strived to provide a service that’s unique and memorable in a setting that pays tribute to our history,” co-owner Andy Routson explains. After announcing earlier this week the closure of their first location at the historic Deitz Block, Crafted & Cured is excited to continue their vision at the Dayton Arcade. “We believe the Dayton Arcade represents a celebration of entrepreneurship and artisanal food and beverage purveyors throughout Dayton’s history”.

Cross Street Partners, Model Group, and McCormack Baron Salazar are redeveloping the historic Dayton Arcade, a collection of nine buildings totaling over 500,000 square feet in the heart of downtown Dayton’s central business district. The full development plan will recast the Arcade in much the same way it was initially developed in the first decade of the 20th century—with a mix of retail, offices, event space and housing.

The first phase of the project, the South Arcade, will consist of an innovation center with the University of Dayton as a higher education partner in addition to a 110-unit residential LIHTC and market rate development for artists and creative entrepreneurs.

For construction and opening updates, follow Crafted & Cured and the Dayton Arcade on Instagram and Facebook.

Crafted & Cured On The Move

By

Five years ago Crafted & Cured opened the doors at 521 Wayne Avenue, in the District Provisions building. Specializing in fresh Craft beer/Ciders with a 60 tap growler fill station and an amazing selection of cured meats/fine cheeses, basically introducing  charcuterie boards to the masses in Dayton.

 

Over the past month or so they’ve had to close due to lack of air conditioning and other issues in their building.  Today they posted the following on their Facebook page:

 

5-years ago, we signed this lease with great ambition to provide an unmatched experience to the Dayton community. Aligned with our intention, we valued the opportunity to revitalize a piece of history. Sentiments that we still hold dear today.

While we aim to serve the most unique offerings and create an intimate customer ambience, we have perpetually struggled with inadequate property management.

With these unresolved issues and the opportunity to end our lease, we’ve come to terms with this reality and have made the decision to move on. And while we would have preferred the opportunity to plan a seamless transition to a new space, things just didn’t line up that way.

Over the past 5-years, we’ve been able to celebrate, champion and build lasting relationships within the Dayton community. For that, we are forever grateful and fueled with a deep commitment to our hometown.

With that commitment, we have worked diligently to secure a better future and home for Crafted & Cured, aligned with a property management group better suited for our vision and values.

Thank you for the years of unwavering support, especially over the past few months. Our gratitude is rooted in our commitment to return in greater service to this community than ever before.

Stay tuned for a very exciting announcement coming this Thursday!

With the greatest of appreciation,
Andy, Christian and the Crafted & Cured team

So check back with us Thursday as we share their big announcement!

Crafted & Cured Opens The Doors

By

Chef Lee Anne House first shared some insights about this new Wayne Avenue business a few weeks ago, and we posted some pictures from their Friends and Family night last Saturday, and now you can make visit Crafted & Cured at 531 Wayne Ave.

Open daily from 3- 9pm daily stop in and grab a growler from their selection of 60 taps, featuring ales, stouts, ciders, sours and meads.  Or peruse the beer wall of bombers, six packs and singles. If wine is more your taste, the Wine Wall is filled with bottles or red, white, rose and champagne.  They  plan to  feature many small  wineries, giving you a chance to expand your knowledge and your palate.  Crafted & Cured isn’t really a bar, but more of a bottle shop/growler fill station, where you can stop by and stock up on some great  liquid treats.

This is just the beginning, soon the Dietz building will add cured meats and fine cheeses.  After that, look for the opening of District Provisions, modeled after turn of the century style neighborhood markets.  Further plans include the addition of a local butcher and a Latin market.   Cheers to Andy & Christian – wishing you much success!

 

Crafted & Cured – A Dream Come True for Local Entrepreneurs

By

Crafted and CuredTwo and a half years ago, two friends and co-workers that shared a passion for craft beer and high quality cured meats and cheeses envisioned a unique space where you could find obscure beers, ciders and sours along with family owned, small batch wines and champagne. It took quite a while but finally their vision is coming to fruition as Crafted & Cured.

 

Together Christian Alvarez and Andy Routson have quite the background that makes them a great team to lead this inspiring business. Chris is a chef, with his degree from Le Cordon Bleu in California. He will be making all kinds of pickles, mustards, anything to go with their charcuterie.

Eventually, his goal is to cure their own meats i20160407_152654n the market itself with other vendors. Wait till you see their meat slicer, flown in straight from Italy, it is an eye catcher. Bright red with a hand crank wheel to give you the sheerest of cuts on prosciuttos, this is sure to please with fine meats.

Andy is an avid craft beer drinker and trader. He is working towards becoming a certified cicerone. (A cicerone is a certification awarded to an individual who has demonstrated an expertise in beer service.) He comes from a family of entrepreneurs and has always known he wanted to own his own business. Obviously, one of the most important questions on the table during my chat with them was what their favorite styles of beer are. Andy loves stouts and anytcrowlerhing barrel aged. Chris is all about those IPA’s. I am going to love drinking with these guys!!

Crafted & Cured simply put is a growler house, not a bar. This is a place to come taste some samples of unique brews and take them home to enjoy. Not only do they offer the growlers that we have all become so familiar with they also have a crowler! A crowler is a 32 ounce can to-go that they will right in front of you! Crafted & Cured will have 60 taps with 10-12 of those dedicated to ciders, sours and meads. Dayton has a great beer scene and we have been seeing the new trend of beer infusions popping up all over town, especially at Toxic Brew Co. Luckily Crafted and Cured has a Randall, made by Dogfish Head, to infuse beers right there at the bar! You will be able to pick from a variety of ingredients, from lemongrass to vanilla beans or cocoa nibs to make your own specially seasoned beer.20160407_152233

Not only will Crafted & Cured offer beer, there will be a whole wall of wines and champagnes that you can’t get anywhere else. They are working closely with their rep Mike Freeman to make sure they only offer small batch, family owned, grower vineyards. Mike will be available once a month for a fun educational night with tastings.

You don’t have to worry about a lack of parking, there is plenty! They have 9 spots available in the space between them and Wheat Penny and all of the surrounding roads behind them. Monday – Friday during the day till 4:30pm at the Theatre Guild, right across the street to the right, and from 5 pm on at the Behavioral Health Center on Wayne, also across the street to the left, and all day and night on the weekends here as well.

20160407_152302Crafted & Cured plans on opening their doors for a soft opening, prior to May. This soft opening period will last approximately one month and will not include the cured side of the business quite yet. They plan to master the beverage side of the business then launch a grand opening in coordination with the opening of District Provisions. The grand opening will mark the start of the cured side of the business. And don’t worry, District Provisions will open soon!

The rest of the building is going to be fantastic. It’s big and beautiful and full of potential. District Provisions is a turn of century style neighborhood market. It is designed to supply the primary grocery needs to the residents of the Oregon District, South Park, St. Anne’s Hill, and downtown Dayton. The focus of this market is to provide the highest quality produce, local humanely raised 12654100_1515644742070821_1780213821527844198_nmeats, fresh local dairy, organic health foods and unique household goods. We can’t wait! This is just what downtown Dayton needs.

You’ll find Crafted & Cured at 531 Wayne Ave, just 2 blocks south of 5th Street.  Watch DaytonDining for their exact grand opening date.
