Continue the party after the fireworks
Happy Fourth Weekend! It’s our country’s birthday, and celebrations abound. Here are some best bets for a place to grab a bite and beer before or after some of the area’s biggest fireworks displays.
Huber Heights
Fireworks: 10 p.m. Saturday, July 2, at Thomas A. Cloud Memorial Park
Best bet: Paradise Key Cafe, 3243 Needmore Road, Dayton
What’s up: Enjoy a drink in the fresh air of the tropical-themed patio. They’ll be open until 1 a.m.
Dayton
Fireworks: 10 p.m., Sunday, July 3, at Riverscape Metropark
Best bet: Southern Belle, 134 North Patterson Blvd., Dayton
What’s up: Open on Sundays until 2:30 a.m., this Dayton institution is just a short walk from RiverScape and the ballpark, and has a wide selection of craft beers.
Vandalia Fireworks: 10 p.m., Sunday, July 3, at the Vandalia Sports Complex on Stonequarry Road
Best Bet: Little York Pizza and Tavern, 4120 Little York Road.
What’s up: They’re open late on Sundays with a DJ and, of course, great pizza.
Kettering
Fireworks: 9:45 p.m., Monday, July 4, at Delco Park
Best bets: Delco Park is just a hop, skip and a jump from The Greene, or head up Wilmington Pike to Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers, where it’s Margarita Monday ($2.50 mini-margaritas)
Beavercreek
Fireworks: 10 p.m., Monday, July 4, at Rotary Park, 2260 Dayton Xenia Road.
Best bet: Marion’s Piazza, 1320 N. Fairfield Road

Englewood
Fireworks: 10 p.m. Monday, July 4, at Centennial Park on Union Boulevard
Best bet: TJ Chumps, 559 S. Main St., Englewood
What’s up: Monday is .39 cent wing night and pitchers of beer are only $6. Plus enjoy the summer air and scan the sky for fireworks on the patio.
Tipp City
Fireworks: Dusk, Monday, July 4, at City Park on Parkwood Drive
Best bet: Hinders, 902 West Main St., Tipp City
What’s up: This sports bar has lots of great qualities, but most fans just want to talk about the wings, which always place high in Active Dayton’s annual Best of Dayton poll.
Fairborn
Fireworks: 10 p.m., Monday, July 4, at Community Park, 691 E. Dayton Yellow Springs Road, Fairborn
Best bet: Tickets Pub and Eatery, 7 W. Main St., Fairborn

Yeah! Thanks! Last year my husband and I went to a few places, looking for somewhere to sit out the gridlock traffic after the fireworks, and it seemed that everyone downtown was closed. We’ll go for the Southern Belle this year!

Then don’t go d-bag! And the button on your keyboard to hit is “CapsLk”. That way you won’t look as ignorant as you sound.
