I live up in Troy, so our options are a little limited … so for my husband and I, it’s BW3 on Main Street in Troy.

Chappy’s Tap Room on Alex Bell Road. Tons of flat screen, high def TV’s with all the sports packages. Plus great food and over 150 beers. All BW3’s need to upgrade their equipment - no flat screens just old TV’s and low quality projection screens.

Geez Grill & Pub on Far Hills (near Whipp) in Centerville. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere wonderful

During football loved BW3 (Settler’s walk, Springboro). Yes, the equip does need upgraded, but the service, food and fun made it better than going to another local place that the service was horrible, staff not friendly, and food okay and there was great TV’s and flatscreens

The best place to watch any sports event for me is Elsa’s on Stroop Rd. in Kettering. It’s hard to beat the offering of numerous TV’s, great food,and plenty of room-inside or out on patio. The centralized location is a plus also.

For my money, Cadillac Jack’s in Beavercreek is the place to go. Decent food for a good price and wall-to-wall TVs.

BW3 in Troy by far for anyone North of Dayton. Very friendly wait staff and good people throughout. They have updated two of their big screen TVs. Just wish their wings were bigger.

The best place is “Hinders” in Tipp City on the main drag. They have the best hot wings and the best service.

Gotta be Geez in Ketterburg… The folks who have already mentioned it are on the money… great food, nice atmosphere and LOTS of TVs, strategically placed for easy viewing in a good-sized room.

Got to be Kings Point Pub on Wilmington they have great prices, free food and the regulars are very friendly. There is always great conversation and fun going on in the day and night!! Everyone should check it out!! Place has totally changed since Mike Kelly doesn’t own it anymore!!

The newer Caddy Jacks on rt 741 across from Lexis-Nexis is great. No bar smells, very clean. Great wings and pizza and ice cold draft! I’m glad to see something new thats close to home. Maybe the greedy owners at Kett. Elsa’s might take a hint. Don’t look at their bar area when the lights are on! It IS Nasty!

If these comments are moderated, why is the same comment allowed to show up two or three times in a row? Seems that the duplicates could be deleted.

Chappys Tap Room & Grille has the best selection of beers around, good pub grub, and enough HD TV’s to watch all the games!

I have to say FRICKERS on WOODMAN drive is the best for March Maddness. Games are always on, great food(best wings in Dayton) and excellent service. They have party’s going on every now and then and they keep it fun. Its a great place to see the games that you can even bring the kids to. Check it out!

Our favorite sportsbar is Chappies-they have the largest variety and types of beers in Ohio, and their food is the best in the Dayton Area.Sam Macy

I find it tough to beat Chappy’s for food, variety of beers, service and just plain friendly atmosphere.

Chappy’s food and service is the best around. Any place that has their own beer list gets my vote. It has a good atmosphere and great music and Hi Def TV’s This place rocks!!!

Saerkraut

And that's on top of other kraut-laden food like cabbage rolls, brownies, reuben sandwiches and pizza.

The Melting Pot in Washington Twp. [review]

Whether you're looking for a new spot for a date, a night out with the girls or whatever, The Melting Pot offers delicious fondue fun for everyone at its first area location in Washington Twp. The Melting Pot's fondue dining concept is certainly distinctive. Here, the diners are the chefs.
