Look for sparks at these holiday weekend bar events

These bar best bets are brought to you by staff writer Amelia Robinson.

A long holiday weekend means things will be cracking at area bars and clubs. Area hot spots will be celebrating the Fourth of July. When the fireworks are over, look for sparks at one of these best bets.

Cornhole at Brixx

Nothing says the Fourth of July like people tossing beanbags at holes. The wayward cornhole had better beware; Brixx Ice Company promises a backyard-like festival during its Independence Day cornhole tournament. Featured music includes Sawgrass and the Prescriptions.

Where: Brixx Ice Company, 500 E. First St., Dayton

When: 3 p.m. Saturday, July 4

The Bite: Registration fee for the tournament is $20 per team. Cash prizes will be awarded to the victors.

Heavy bash at Coyote’s Pub

Local heavy metal favorites TINJ and Sawed Off will make Fourth of July noise when they take the stage during Coyote’s Pub bash. TINJ is fronted by Middletown native John Price, who takes inspiration from some heavy-hitters: Geoff Tate of Queensryche, James Hetfield of Metallica and Phil Anselmo of Pantera.

Where: Coyote’s Pub, 5358 Springboro Pike, West Carrollton

When: 10 p.m. Saturday, July 4.

The Bite: $3 cover charge

Dirtybone at the Brig

Head out on the highway. The classic rock/southern rock act Dirtybone will help The Brig in Troy celebrate Bike Day. Take your bike and prepare to kick back.

Where: The Brig, 118 W. Main St., Troy

When: 3:30 p.m. Sunday, July 5.

The bite: Call (937) 335-3717 for cover charge information

Go back to the totally awesome '80s this weekend [things to do]

80s fashionista

"Back to the '80s," an area premiere, opens Friday, Nov. 6, for three weekends in Kettering. The retro show is an account of 1989 high school senior class, as recalled by a man in his 30s. Unrequited love, popularity (and its opposite), a debate about CDs replacing cassette tapes, student elections, a stolen speech, new kids in school and an English teacher in a magazine centerfold are among the plot lines. There are 20 songs, including "Footloose," "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "You Give Love a Bad Name." Like, totally awesome! » More
