November 30, 2024 By Dayton937 Leave a Comment

Frickers Centerville View Over the Wings

Dayton has some loyal football fans.  As festival season winds down, the College and Pro football season is heating up.  The Dayton area has some fantastic spots to watch football, whether you love Ohio State or Bowling Green, or if you love the Bengals or the Browns.  No matter what team you root for, we have found the best spots to watch football in the Miami Valley and we ranked the top 22 in order.

Food Adventures used the following criteria to pick the best:  We considered who had the best TV’s, best food, best drinks, and best value.

Without further delay, we give you …..

Inside Buffalo Wild Wings at Town n Country Shopping Center

THE TOP 20 PLACES TO EAT and WATCH FOOTBALL

 

FRICKERS – CENTERVILLE:
The energy of the Centerville location is great.  The TV’s, the atmosphere and the good food make this our #1 spot to watch your favorite football team.  The wings and burgers do not disappoint, especially if you get the wings well done. The wing sauces are stellar too.  Nachos, and Clam Chowder are menu items that will knock your socks off.  Lots of cheers, and jeers in this fun crowd.  They usually have any game you want to see.  You will see lots of people showing their team spirit, and many wearing team jerseys.  The TV situation is plentiful and crystal clear.  Beer prices and selection add to the number 1 rating.  Good luck to your team!
1383 Miamisburg Centerville Rd, Dayton, OH 45459

Roosters on 741

BUFFALO WILD WINGS (BW3) – TOWN N COUNTRY SHOPPING CENTER KETTERING:
Great wings, sauces and salads here.  They have lots of good appetizers to choose from.  The Town and Country location has possibly the best TV situation in the city.  You have a ton of big HD TV’s on hand and any game your heart desires is typically available.  Beer specials can make you happy, as will the beer choice.  We love the menu, but the only drawback is this place is a little expensive foodwise.  However, you couldn’t ask for a better viewing atmosphere.  Great sound too!!
They also have a private room in back you can reserve and throw your own football party!
262 E Stroop Rd, Kettering, OH 45429

 

Hooters Miller Lane Dining Area

ROOSTERS – on 741:
This location on Springboro Pike puts the other Roosters to shame.  Newly remodeled, it is a football lovers paradise.  It is like a big arena with brand new TV’s everywhere.  The sound is good as well.  Lets talk wings… they have some of the best, and the sauces are fantastic.  Great salads and a decent sandwich selection makes it a blast.  Pizza, fried pickles, and tater tots are 3 menu items that shine as well.
9400 N Springboro Pike, Miamisburg, OH 45342

HOOTERS – MILLER LANE:
A tremendous spot to watch your favorite game and a menu that is remarkable.  The smoked wings here are nothing short of amazing, as are their breaded wings.  Lots of seafood choices and the tater tot appetizers are must eats.  Strangely they have the best sweet tea in town too.  Their beer list is simple and they usually have deals on pitchers.  Service is fun and friendly, and the TV situation is pretty good.  The food here is the star and you will leave happy whether your team won of not. Between the wings, and the shrimp and the appetizers, your tummy will be satisfied.
6851 Miller Ln, Dayton, OH 45414

 

SUBMARINE HOUSE – CENTERVILLE LOCATION:

Inside Buckin Donkey


This fantastic location to watch sports, is broken into 2 areas.  The bar area, and the dining area.  Both rooms are filled with High Def TV’s, but we prefer the dining room for long game visits.  The beer list is exceptional, including local drafts.  Food choices are delicious.  You have the trademark Super Duper Cheesesteak, Dayton’s best philly sub, and dubbed “16 inches of heaven.”  Their pizzas are tasty too, especially the cheesesteak pizza.  Other loved menu items include the oven toasted deli subs.  This is a top notch place to catch for favorite football team.
503 Miamisburg Centerville Rd, Washington Township, OH 45459

 

BARGOS GRILL and TAP – CENTERVILLE:

Inside Bennetts Publical- just one area


The most comfortable bar to sit at and spread out and watch some games.  The dining room is nice too, and if the weather  permits, it is the only place we know of with huge TV’s at the patio bar.  The menu highlights are chicken tenders which are a level hotter than we are used to.  The pizzas and sandwiches shine here as well.
588 Miamisburg Centerville Rd, Centerville, OH 45459

 

BENNETT’S PUBLICAL FAMILY SPORTS GRILL – MIAMISBURG:
Little known spot that is underrated,but getting some notoriety.  Their menu is terrific.  From soups and steaks to wings and fish dinners, the kitchen does not disappoint.  The place has a nice bar area and TV’s throughout the dining room.  The patio is nice too,although no TV sets outside.  Stop in for some comfort food and friendly football fans.  Service is always on point.
67 S Main St, Miamisburg, OH 45342

Cheering our team at Milano’s Subs

 

MILANO’S PIZZA and SUBS – BEAVERCREEK:
The Beavercreek location is a great atmosphere for football.  It seems more sports fans flock to this location, and more families dine in the others.  Lots of beer choices, lots of HD TV’s, lots of pizza and of course the Atlantic City Submarine Sandwiches that are their calling card.  Nothing funnier than a fan trying to cheer on their team with a  mouthful of an Italian sub.  Service is usually great here as well.
2260 N Fairfield Rd, Beavercreek, OH 45431

 

ARCHER’S TAVERN– KETTERING LOCATION:

Archers Kettering


A place you wouldn’t think of for football, but we love this choice.  The indoor patio has a couple of premium seats that work out fabulous.  There is also a big table area near the fireplace that is perfect for football on a cold day.  Thirsty? You are at the right place.  Archer’s beer selection is magnificent and the food is great and economical.  Try the chili, the sweet n sexy wings and the sticky burger.  These are the menu stars, as well as the Margherita Pizza.  You will be happy you came to the Kettering location for the game.
2030 E Dorothy Ln, Kettering, OH 45420

 

Bunkers Bacon Cheeseburger

BUNKERS BAR & GRILL – VANDALIA:
Another place with a cult following.  The open dining area is filled with TV’s.  One TV set has a revolving list of beers on tap.  This is a beer swillin, wing eating sports bar.  Known for their wings and burgers,you have to try the Bacon Cheeseburger. Lots of appetizers to choose from too. It is some good sports pub food, and the service is speedy.  Definitely someplace to hit if you are a football lover.
893 E National Rd, Vandalia, OH 45377

 

LOCK 27 BREWING – CENTERVILLE LOCATION:

At Lock 27 for the game


A secrets spot to watch football games.  Park yourself at the bar and the huge TV’s are in plain view. You also have some of the best local beer at your fingertips.  A private TV like experience and some of the best brews and food around.  What more could you ask for.  No one thinks to go watch football here and thats why its such a gem.  Friendly staff and owners complete the experience.
1035 S Main St, Centerville, OH 45458 

 

HINDERS SPORTS BAR– TIPP CITY:
This place has a cult following.  The TV situation is not the greatest,but they make up for it with some of the best wings around.  The butt warmer wings are a legend in the Dayton area and a must eat.  They have also been known for burgers and sandwiches since 1989
902 W Main St, Tipp City, OH 45371

Inside Hinders

WINGS SPORTS BAR and GRILLE – BEAVERCREEK:
Little known place in Beavercreek by the closed Lofino’s grocery store in Beavercreek Valley Shopping Center.  A nice, open dining room and big bar area, lend itself to a room full of new TV sets.  The result is a football lovers paradise with all the games around the restaurant.  Good draft specials and incredible wings are the big attractions here.  This spot is a gem and is quickly gaining a following.  They have a nice menu, with lots of sports bar fare.  Another great menu item are their Southwestern Egg Rolls.  Check this sort of secret place out sometime soon!

Mad River Tavern To Close

November 17, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

Opened in Feb of 2024, this was posted today on their facebook page:

 

“DearCustomers,

This is one of the hardest messages we’ve ever had to write. After much reflection, many discussions, and a lot of praying, we’ve made the difficult decision to close the restaurant. We want you to know that this choice was not made lightly- it’s largely the result of circumstances beyond what we could control as the health of one of our family members has taken a turn for the worse.
Sadly, we can’t give the restaurant the attention it needs anymore and still be able to address our personal challenges. We have made the decision to choose family over business. We understand this is sudden and the timing is not the best with holidays coming up. If we could have, we would have stayed open.
Our loyal employees and wonderful customers have been the backbone of this place, the heart and soul that made it more than just a restaurant. We have enjoyed serving you and your families and creating memories that we will never forget. Getting to know many of you on a personal level was the best part about this whole adventure. Seeing some of you come in and make new memories and share old ones will be what we miss the most.
As we approach our final days, we are asking for your support once more. We will be open Wednesday through Saturday 11AM-9PM. Our last day open will be Saturday, November 23. So come in all week, get some of your favorite meals and enjoy a beer or two with Dustin. Let’s send our servers and bartenders off with a bang!!! They have done such a wonderful job providing all of you with great service these last 10 months.
Stay tuned for any specials we will be running for the week.
With love and appreciation,
Dustin & Tiffany”
Comments from their customers:
Ryan Ray – Very sad to read this. You guys had a great thing going on, but we support you choosing to focus entirely on family! Much love to you guys and wherever life takes you from here.
April Nicole Barrows

This is so sad we just came for breakfast this morning! Your food is fantastic 😭
Kim Prater

So sorry to hear this. We have really enjoyed your restaurant since you opened. We wish you and your family the best! ❤️
Beth Hitt

So sorry to hear this but no one can fault you for your admirable decision on this issue. Best wishes and many prayers.🙏🙏🙏
Deborah Ann Siratt Nuss

So sorry to hear this. Your outdoor dining was one of the nicest, if not the nicest, in the area. Choosing family over business is never a wrong decision. They are our heart and our history. Good luck in your future🍸

TheatreLab’s ‘Not Another Thanksgiving Play’ is just that!!

November 16, 2024 By Y. K. Cuts

TheatreLab is coming off of their community acclaimed ‘Lizzie,’ and switching gears with ‘Not Another Thanksgiving Play’….a sort of rom-com with  honest, heartfelt themes. I was so fortunate to get to sit down with Philip Drennen, who has returned from NYC to direct the show at the TheatreLab Dayton Space. 

937: Welcome home and congrats on the success of ‘Big Gay Jamboree’ in NYC! SO exciting!

PD: Thank you! It’s been fun.

937:  I’m intrigued by NATP!! So, what is the gist of this show?

PD: Not Another Thanksgiving Play follows a group of 20-30 somethings who share a bond through Dungeons and Dragons. And no you don’t have to know anything about D&D to enjoy the show, I sure didn’t before I came on board to direct! The real story is each character coming to terms with their own happiness within their partner and themselves. Most of our characters are part of the LGBTQIA+ community and we see 2 of them go home to their family’s Thanksgiving after years of hiding their identities from their parents.

937: Ummmm, I think I lived that plot-line myself! Tell us why you decided to return home to direct his particular performance?

PD: While this may sound heavy, NATP is mostly a comedy of errors as we watch Daniel and Gemma take home beards (fake girlfriends) home to the parents; one set strict and conservative, the other warm and maybe a little TOO open. The play has a very “rom-com” feel to it and plays as a queer, millennial “Friends” or “Seinfeld”.

937: I know TheatreLab is known for its local casts!! What can you tell us about them this go’round?

PD: The playwright, Marley Masterson, is a local Dayton artist and a big reason we wanted to do this show. TLD prides itself on hiring and giving voice to local talent and all of our actors have been seen on our stages as well as starring in all of the Dayton theaters.

937: I know TheatreLab Dayton has been handling this season with a sense of mystery…can you hint at what’s to come? We know the theme is ‘Taking Back Their Story.’  Any more you can share??

PD: TLD has always been a bit unorthodox and this season is no exception as we slowly roll out our season one show at a time. We’re all about creating art for our community with the members of our community and we’ll do that however we need to!

937: I see what you did there….no hints! UmmmHmmm. What is the audience takeaway for this show in particular? 

PD: A big takeaway from NATP is that family is important and can look different for everyone. For some it’s mom and dad, for others it’s the chosen family we find at work, in school, or through a gaming club. And true happiness comes when we are true to ourselves. It might sound cheesy, but that’s what the holidays are all about!

937: Not cheesy at all….important to remember that! I have to ask you….how is it feeling to be home after your NYC premiere? 

PD: I’m really excited that I get to work on an original piece as my first project back in Dayton. Marley and I have worked together on this show as well as many past TLD productions and I wanted to make sure her voice gets heard. It’s a great way to get back into the Dayton Theater Scene!!

937: Well, congratulations to you, Philip. I know people are also tuning into your Dayton Drama Queens video-podcast. Much success with that as well. You can catch the latest TheatreLab Dayton performance on the dates times below. 

November 21st – 7:30pm.

November 22nd – 8:00pm

November 23rd – 8:00pm

November 24th – 2:00pm

The performances take place at:

TheatreLab Dayton. 116 North Jefferson St. 45402.

November 15, 2024 By Dayton937

Square One Salon and Spa, a cornerstone of beauty and wellness in Ohio communities, announces its 25th anniversary on November 15, 2024. Founded in 1999 in downtown Dayton, Square One has grown to serve six locations across Ohio while remaining firmly committed to local ownership and operation, exceptional client care, staff development, and community engagement.

Joshua Stucky, Brent Johnson and Doug Henderson

From its inception, Square One has been guided by its Four Corner Focus, a philosophy that remains at the heart of the company’s operations today. This focus encompasses:

  1. Clients: Providing undivided attention and total satisfaction, welcoming clients as permanent members of the Square One family.
  2. Community: Drawing strength from the community and actively contributing to its wellness and growth.
  3. Heart: Supporting those facing extraordinary challenges through dedicated charitable efforts.

“We’re honored to be celebrating 25 years of serving and celebrating our clients, every single day,” said Brent Johnson, co-founder of Square One Salon and Spa. “This milestone reflects the trust our community has placed in us, the ongoing dedication of our incredible team, and the enduring relevance of our Four Corner Focus.”

From its beginning, Square One has expanded its services to meet the evolving needs of clients, now offering a comprehensive range of beauty and wellness services, including hair styling, expert hair color, all types of hair texture services, rejuvenating massages, advanced skincare treatments, and professional nail services. The salon also proudly carries products from renowned brands such as Aveda and Smashbox Cosmetics, emphasizing its commitment to quality and self-care.

Doug Henderson, co-founder, emphasized the salon’s holistic approach: “Over the past 25 years, we’ve evolved from a hair salon to a complete beauty and wellness destination. Our focus has always been on enhancing not just our clients’ appearances, but their overall well-being and confidence, all while staying true to our original mission and values.”

Key Highlights of Square One’s 25-Year Journey:

  • Expansion from one Dayton location to six salons across Dayton, Columbus, New Albany, and Centerville
  • Continuous local ownership and operation, maintaining a strong connection to the communities we serve
  • Development of a comprehensive education program and career path for beauty and wellness professionals
  • Ongoing commitment to using and promoting sustainable, high-quality products
  • Industry-leading benefits package for team members, including health and dental insurance, matching 401(k), and additional perks rarely found in the beauty industry
  • Numerous community initiatives and charitable partnerships.

To mark this significant milestone, Square One is launching several initiatives:

  1. Two Days of Celebration: A special 25% discount on select products on November 15 and 16, 2024
  2. 25th Anniversary Team Appreciation Event: An exclusive team celebration on November 16, 2024, to honor staff and their contributions to our combined success

Josh Stucky, co-founder, reflected on the salon’s impact: “As we look back on 25 years of growth and change, one thing has remained constant – our commitment to our local communities, as embodied in our Four Corner Focus. We’re not just a business in these communities; we’re neighbors, friends, and active community members dedicated to bringing out the best in the people and the communities we are so privileged to serve.”

The public is invited to join in the celebration by sharing their Square One memories on social media using the hashtag #SquareOne25 and by visiting any Square One location during the anniversary month to say hello.

Oregon District Eatery Roost Returns To Its Roots

November 14, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

Owner and Chef, Dana Down has listened to the people. While the change to the Culina concept from Roost has been well received, she says their loyal customers have spoken. They have heard that Roost is missed! So much so that the decision has been made to return to the Roost Italian offering classic Roost entrees and sneaking in some of Culina’s most popular small plates! You have known and loyally supported for 13 years! This weekend, we will be featuring a Surf & Turf entree and Champagne Special to celebrate our 13th Anniversary of Roost!

Dana Downs

Downs says that “change will allow a return of many of the menu favorites that you have loved. Additionally, soon we will have free valet parking again!

They have also heard the comments of the needs for some casual options – so we are in early discussions about offering a casual environment in what has been known as the “Dough Room”.
We understand the desire to make the Oregon District walkable and safe during the warm weather months. However, the complete closing of Fifth Street and lack of access to close parking and use of a valet took a significant toll on our traffic and business. We are hopeful that these changes will help us return to the Roost everyone has known and loved for 13 years. We are also hopeful that there can be some adjustments to that in the future.”
These changes will take place over the next few weeks but our hours immediately going forward will be
Wed & Thurs 5-9:30
Fri & Sat from 5-10
Sun from 5-9, but then adding brunch starting in December!

WYSO Launches Music-Only Streaming Channel

November 14, 2024 By Dayton937

WYSO Public Radio, a nonprofit, community-owned public radio station serving Southwest Ohio with news, music and storytelling, has launched a music-only streaming channel called Novaphonic.

The channel can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by streaming online at novaphonic.fm or by broadcast on any HD radio.

With this dual-channel model, WYSO’s existing music programming—such as “Midday Music,” “Around the Fringe” and “Tables of Content”—will be simulcast on WYSO and Novaphonic, meaning there will be no interruption to the current WYSO schedule.

However, when WYSO begins a news show such as “Morning Edition” or “All Things Considered,” Novaphonic will continue to air locally hosted music shows. The result will be a 24/7 schedule of music curated by the WYSO music team and reflective of music and musicians from our region and beyond, and from numerous genres.

Juliet Fromholt

“Our goal is to support a community of musicians and music fans and for that community to feel welcoming and inclusive. Diversity is an essential part of our daily mix of music,” said Juliet Fromholt WYSO’s Music Director (left). “When we say ‘Roots,’ we’re talking about bluegrass and folk, country and Americana. Rock sounds obvious on the surface but gets richer when we think about everything from punk to indie rock and everyone from Big Mama Thorton to David Bowie to St. Vincent and the Linda Lindas. Rhythm is hip-hop, yes, but it’s also jazz, R&B, soul and of course some Dayton Ohio Funk! Pop music on Novaphonic takes those catchy hooks and melodies from mainstream music and puts them in the hands of artists on the fringes of it. So think Bjork, Sylvan Esso, Bartees Strange and Mitski. And world music brings us sounds and songwriting from artists whose musical traditions and influences find their home in many places, but especially the global South.”

More information, including the full program schedule for Novaphonic and a link to listen online, can be found at novaphonic.fm.
