Bar best bets for your last July weekend
The United Irish of Dayton Celtic Festival — a multiple Best of Dayton poll winner for the best festival in town — is happening all weekend at RiverScape MetroPark. The live music, dancing, beer and authentic food make for a sure best bet this weekend. But for those looking to take a break from the heat, check out these air-conditioned bar best bet options as well.
Although first dates can be awkward and um… awkward, Bar Louie at The Greene is hoping lots of Dayton singles will suck it up for an evening to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
They’re hosting a speed-dating event, Thursday, Aug. 4, to raise money for the charity. Each single gets a series of mini-dates, free appetizers and a chance at door prizes for $15.
If you’re already attached but want to help the cause, print out the event listing from Facebook (search for Date for a Cure or Bar Louie Beavercreek) and bring it to the restaurant Aug. 4. They’ll donate 15 percent of your purchase to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Bar Louie also hosts live music performances every Thursday night from 10 p.m. to close.
Where: Bar Louie, 4492 Glengarry Drive at The Greene in Beavercreek
When: 8 to 11:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 4
The bite: $15 registration

I’m so glad to see that even people who have never been to Downtown Dayton are reading and enjoying this blog. Although you are entitled to your opinion, this site is about all the great things there are to do and see in the city of Dayton. So your baseless criticisms may be more suited for a different venue. Thanks.

Hey Katie - Those aren’t baseless criticisms. People going downtown should be warned that it’s dangerous.

I agree with Jimbo, Dayton is becoming more and more infested with crime and scum. What very little fun things there are to do in the city, at times it gets ruined by the trash that walks the streets.
