Bars giving you reasons to celebrate this holiday weekend
As expected this Labor Day weekend is packed full of things to do around Dayton, and the bars are no exception. We weeded through a ton of events to bring you these best bets sure to keep you pumped from Friday night, to football Saturday, through “I don’t have to work tomorrow!” Sunday.
Mardi Gras Night at South Beach
Now that school’s back in session, Elite Management is getting college night in full swing at South Beach Night Club. Every Friday is Elite College Night and will have a different theme each week. This week is Mardi Gras Night - not sure why they chose Mardi Gras in September, but we love beads and booze any old time. Guys will get beads when they come through the door and the female that collects the most beads wins a cash prize. Plus they’ll have drink specials for everyone all night.
Where: South Beach Night Club, 729 Lyons Road, Centerville
When: 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4
The bite: Call (937) 439-9040 for cover charge information
Ladies night at
This Friday, ladies get in free all night to see the powerpop stylings of Uncle Rico. If you can’t make it Friday, Saturday’s band is Cincinnati’s own new wave comedians Naked Karate Girls.
Where: J.D. Legends, 65 Millard Drive, Franklin
When: 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4
The bite: No cover for ladies; call (937) 746-4950 for other cover charge and ticket information.
Freakshow at Ziggy’s
For a heavy dose of hard rock this Friday, head to Ziggy’s for the mayhem that is Freakshow.

When: 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4
The bite: Call (937) 643-2200 for cover charge information.
A Day of Rock at BoJangles
Well, first it’s a day of football, when the Buckeyes open the season against Navy at noon. BoJangles offers Happy Hour drink prices and free food during games. Stick around after the action though, because at 8 p.m., National Headcase, Perileyes and Lascivious take the stage for a night of rock.

When: Game starts at noon, music starts at 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5
