Local bar and dance club closes
Celebrity Show and Dance Club appears to have closed. Or are they moving?
A posting on the bar’s Web site says it is on the move to downtown Dayton. Attempts to reach Don Troxel, listed as the owner of the recently closed location, have been unsuccessful and the phone for the club has been disconnected. A transfer of the liquor license from Celebrities to HIMMELBERG REALTY LLC posted in late February.
In it’s heyday, Celebrity was one of Daytons best known dance and show clubs attracting large crowds lined up out the door. Pop icons, Ru Paul and the Village People once performed on the North Main location’s stage. The club celebrated 10 years at its North Main Street location before closing in April of 2006.
The club re-opened late in December 2006 with a grand opening New Year’s eve 2007, in the Washington Township location.
Celebrity’s location was hidden in the same strip-plaza as the Hooters Restaurant that closed in August 2007.

I live in Washington Twp. and didn’t even know it was there! Perhaps they should have advertised more. Or maybe I just need to get out more!

The new Club Cream is located where Celebrity used to be. Lots of people go there for mostly r & B/rap music. It is still a dance club and bar. Not sure what happened to Celebrity.
