Bar Granada reopens downtown with eclectic cultural events!
Bar Granda, the new bar and restaurant at the corner of Main & Monument downtown, has rebranded itself and reopened with an exotic flair! The decor and menu have been refreshed with a warm and cozy Mediterranean vibe, and food coming from the Latin Arepas Truck (indoors). They are equally as proud of their craft tequila menu, as their delicious mocktails for those choosing to stay sober.
The other big change to the venue is the addition of curated pan-cultural events. This Friday, they start their “Last Friday” series with The Dayton Salsa Project, who performs live Latin music (salsa/merengue/bachata/bolero) for your listening and dancing pleasure. Not sure how to dance Latin style? Watch and learn, and start with the merengue! You’ll be swaying your hips in no time. 9pm-12am. $10 cover. 21+
Later this summer, they are hosting a very special evening on Wednesday August 28th with The Flamenco Company of Columbus. Enjoy food, music and dance in a format rarely seen in Dayton – flamenco! Tickets include tapas & wine before the performance and dessert and Cava before final performance. What a wonderful cultural experience that will be! 7-10pm. $48 via Eventbrite. 21+
This flair of culture on the northern end of downtown is just the spark that area needs! Be sure to show your support of this new business next time you are planning a happy hour meet up, a date night or solo adventure downtown!

A Date Night Treat for Two
“With all the traveling I do for work, and two little ones at home, I firmly believe in setting aside time for “Date Night.” (And I think my lovely wife Tiffany would agree!) So I designed our latest Memorable Meal as a special “Dinner for Two,” perfect for a romantic night out. By the way, I’ve included two terrific entrées for each of you. So if your date likes to “try” things off your plate, you can afford to be generous. Now that’s what I call a perfect meal.” — Executive Chef Russell Skall
